[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-13 Summary: The Next Gen Rainbow ... I'll just get to the point...Graphics are obviously incredible especially when you play in HD, Gameplay is a very good step up - even though it's clearly imitating Gears of War with it's health, blind fire and cover system. Sound is about average for the next gen consoles, but you over sensitive marshmallows that can't handle frequent "adult" language might wanna set your parental setting to: Don't Buy This Game, Idiot! Theres alot of swearing especially when you're Terrorist Hunting where sound effects will consist ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-17 Summary: Good Tactical First Shooter ... The game itself is a typical First Person shooter. However the tac ops that are available for your team add a sort of realism to it. Though I find I place my character in places that negate my teams ability to cover my six. I find the game refreshing when I am looking to knock off a few bad guys. My only complaint would be the IR and NV goggles display. Not realistic enough but still doable for game play. Fun and exciting to play!!! ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-16 Summary: Really awesome game ... this game really accelerates the feel of the legacy that is Tom Clancy's rainbow six. it really was one of the best games that i have played although it was painfully short on the normal game difficulty. the second should really answer some questions, so i would get both of them to really get the full game story which lacks a little in RSV as the story is bitted together whith the picture-in-picture briefings that don't really make any sense, though the point of any given mission is to kill the terroist. This is made ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-22 Summary: Great Game, Hard as Explative, but Great Game ... This game is like if they Made GRAW into A FPS... I own both, they are both two of the best games out and this is almost 2 years after they were released...R6V is much harder than R6V2.. I still like R6V better than 2, I just like the environmental settings and missions better. I could see people getting really frusterated at this game because there are times where you are pretty lucky to make it through a level and the check points are very few and far between sometimes...Also do not turn of your xbox during a cutscene ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-10 Summary: Awsome ... I purchased this as a present for my step-son. After using it, he washed my car, cooked me supper, mowed the lawn and scrubbed the floors. Seriously; he was thrilled and said that it improved his enjoyment of his X-Box 360. I'm sure there are better, but for the money, this is great. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-02 Summary: These are good, but not perfect ... Just like most people, I bought these so that my fiance wouldn't have to hear me on the nights where she had to get up early and go to work when I had the next day off. The sound is good, but not AWESOME. I read the reviews here and talked to other people that used them and everyone said they sound AMAZING. I've got great ears for sound quality unlike many people and I didn't think these were as "amazing" as people were putting them out to be. They are good, but not great. If you play CoD4, you can sometimes tell when ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-13 Summary: Almost Perfect ... I bought these headsets to be able to play on XBox Live and listen to TV/movies late at night and they're almost perfect. The sound is amazing and the reception area is great. I can almost walk out of the a 17' wide room before losing reception. The only problem I have with this headset and why I didn't give it a 5 star review is that it does not have a charging stand. So you'll have to get rechargeable batteries and replace them every so often depending upon your use. I got about 20 hours of use out of the included ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-11 Summary: Not too bad ... The X3 from turtle beach will change your gaming experience. I purchased it because my dog chewed up my original headset that came with the xbox. I play a lot of Halo 3 and Call of Duty. Headset is awesome for both games and it really does drown out any other sounds surrounding you in the room. It could use more BASS though, but thats just something I personally like. One problem that I find very annoying with this product is WHITE NOISE. When the game sound is in idle (when there is no game noise) all you hear is ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-04 Summary: Great Headset ... The title says it all. Great sound quality, comfortable, and easy set-up. If you're in the market for a gaming headset, these would be an excellent choice. Perfect for some late-night gaming when noise volume is a factor but you don't want to hinder your gaming experience. These allow you to hear everything you need and then some, and the Bass Boost only adds to the immersion. The padded ear cups and cushioned crossbar are perfect. You could wear them for hours on end and not feel the slightest discomfort. Set-up is ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | PC gamers rely on headphones to eliminate distracting noise around them, so they can concentrate on their game play and hear every nuance of the game audio. Stereo headphones with an integrated PC microphone are incompatible with the Xbox 360, so gamers are forced to choose between using standard headphones and talking online. Conventional Xbox communicator headsets cover one ear for chat, leaving only a single ear for hearing game audio from the speakers. The Ear Force X3 overcome this...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-16 Summary: Works great as Gamepad too ... I was looking for a wired 360 controller for use with an xbox 360 as well as a Mac and Windows. The store ran out of original controllers (which cost $40) and only had these for $25. It was well worth it! It obviously worked right away for the xbox 360. For the computer, it was perfectly recognized as a MadCatz GamePad and worked with the XBOX 360 drivers for Windows and for Mac OS X. (Had to download both from different websites). Controller wise, this thing is great. The triggers are much more concave than the original ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-21 Summary: Great for Kids ... A collection of little mini games, this is perfect for my 6, 8, and 10 year olds. Not many xbox 360 titles like that out there. Cute, but still funny enough to keep their attention. As an adult, I think there's many others out there that are more compelling, but the 5 stars is for the kids. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-12-01 Summary: Fun mini-series game ... I've just got this game today and I couldn't wait to play it. It has a very funny, mischief tone in it; plus the graphic is incredible. I admit that some of the games are repetitious, but it is not so hard and great to play with your friends or family who doesn't require much gaming skills. I really do not have time for a whole adventurous game which I used to play, so this game is perfect for me or anyone with home party where everybody can get together, play and have a good laugh. Get it, you won't regret ... ...more

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-05 Summary: Good game, but it gets boring sometimes ... This game is really entertaining, it's comformed by a series of funny minigames. But sometimes, you can get bored of playing the same style of games, since one expects some adventure in such a game. But no, you're not getting exciting and challenging adventures in this game... just... minigames! that's all... I wouldn't buy it again, I'm a little dissapointed with this game because I expected some real adventure game (like previous versions of Rayman I've played on PC and Xbox)...

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-13 Summary: Great game, needs more enviornments. ... A great mix of horror and action. The graphics are pretty darn good (the environments are a bit repetitive) but the AI is where the game is great. The enemies wont run around like idiots, they'll dive, slide roll, jump through windows, take cover ,whatever it takes to kill you. The game hits some light creepy moments, but then there's plenty that make you jump. You'll think the game is letting up and next thing you know you're in a hallway knee deep in blood. The guns may seem standard from a screenshot glance but ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-11 Summary: Halo Forever! ... Halo is perhaps one of the best games in history! At first I played it at a friend's house and then I decided to buy it. Halo is not as good as Halo 2, but has some advantages that Halo 2 doesn't, such as weapons. The Graphics are very realistic and it feels very intense. Lots of Weapons such as, Assault Rifles, Snipers, Rocket Launchers, Pistols, Plasma Pistols, Plasma Rifles, Needlers and Grenades! And lots of Enemies such as, Grunts, Elites, Jackles, Hunters, and the Flood! Halo is just really fun! ...more

[2] ... Review | More often than not, when a game is in development for more than three years, it does not live up to the hype. Bungie's Halo is the exception. Not only does it meet expectations, it greatly exceeds them. This sci-fi first-person shooter is a nearly perfect blend of gameplay, graphics, and sound. The story revolves around the conflict between humans and an alien race known as the Covenant. The aliens have discovered a powerful artifact--on the ring-shaped planet called Halo--that will shift the balance...more
[3] ... Product Description | This action shooter takes place on a mysterious alien world. It offers a combination of team-based first-person-shooter gameplay (reminiscent of Tribes ) and third-person vehicle combat elements. Gameplay kicks off with the player heading down to the planet's surface in a troop carrier, à la Aliens . As the player and fellow marines exit, the remaining troopers form a flank in reaction to an oncoming onslaught of human and alien enemies. It's this smart AI system that makes for a noticeably...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-18 Summary: Desolate landscape but really cool game! ... My opinion of Morrowind is that the creators could have made the place a little less desolate. Unlike Oblivion which has beautiful landscape, Morrowind is an ugly, desolate world. Other than that it is a really cool game! You can do a lot of cheating in this game without having to delete the hard drive cache as you have to do with Oblivion. You just have to know what you are doing.

Mom's like me just read the label and assume "its all there", kids know better.

I insisted on getting it when we ordered our Xbox. I've hardly managed to get through much of it. As usual I'm flummoxed by the seemingly easiest of obstacles to overcome (How long did it take me to jump the donuts to the cake?? Don't ask). Overall, it's a highly entertaining game and not too terribly frustrating for a cerebral but non-gaming person such as myself. If you're looking for fun, I'd have to recommend ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-28 Summary: Lucas get it right! ... People have been playing at jedi knight ever since Luke Skywalker turned on his father's light-saber. Unfortunately though, making the experience as fluid and seamless (and fun) as the movies has been a long, frustrating, uphill climb. We've had the arrow-guided light-saber blocking of Star Wars Arcade, simplistic slashing and complex force-power selection of Dark Forces: Jedi Knight and its sequels. We've had the arcade side-scrolling insane difficulty of Jedi Power Battles and the platforming, boss-battling battling ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-28 Summary: Star Wars Money Well Spent! ... While some people may say that this game is glitchy, I don't know what they are talking about. This game works perfectly. The levels never get old and it is always fun to push the stormtroopers around. The only thing I will criticize is the difficulty level you chose. I always pick the lowest one because if you try higher difficulty then the people your fighting don't get harder, your health just goes down faster than with the lower difficulty. But still this the most fun of the Star Wars games. I cant wait to throw ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-10 Summary: Awsome ... I purchased this as a present for my step-son. After using it, he washed my car, cooked me supper, mowed the lawn and scrubbed the floors. Seriously; he was thrilled and said that it improved his enjoyment of his X-Box 360. I'm sure there are better, but for the money, this is great. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-13 Summary: Almost Perfect ... I bought these headsets to be able to play on XBox Live and listen to TV/movies late at night and they're almost perfect. The sound is amazing and the reception area is great. I can almost walk out of the a 17' wide room before losing reception. The only problem I have with this headset and why I didn't give it a 5 star review is that it does not have a charging stand. So you'll have to get rechargeable batteries and replace them every so often depending upon your use. I got about 20 hours of use out of the included ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-11 Summary: Not too bad ... The X3 from turtle beach will change your gaming experience. I purchased it because my dog chewed up my original headset that came with the xbox. I play a lot of Halo 3 and Call of Duty. Headset is awesome for both games and it really does drown out any other sounds surrounding you in the room. It could use more BASS though, but thats just something I personally like. One problem that I find very annoying with this product is WHITE NOISE. When the game sound is in idle (when there is no game noise) all you hear is ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-04 Summary: Great Headset ... The title says it all. Great sound quality, comfortable, and easy set-up. If you're in the market for a gaming headset, these would be an excellent choice. Perfect for some late-night gaming when noise volume is a factor but you don't want to hinder your gaming experience. These allow you to hear everything you need and then some, and the Bass Boost only adds to the immersion. The padded ear cups and cushioned crossbar are perfect. You could wear them for hours on end and not feel the slightest discomfort. Set-up is ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-02 Summary: These are good, but not perfect ... Just like most people, I bought these so that my fiance wouldn't have to hear me on the nights where she had to get up early and go to work when I had the next day off. The sound is good, but not AWESOME. I read the reviews here and talked to other people that used them and everyone said they sound AMAZING. I've got great ears for sound quality unlike many people and I didn't think these were as "amazing" as people were putting them out to be. They are good, but not great. If you play CoD4, you can sometimes tell when ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | PC gamers rely on headphones to eliminate distracting noise around them, so they can concentrate on their game play and hear every nuance of the game audio. Stereo headphones with an integrated PC microphone are incompatible with the Xbox 360, so gamers are forced to choose between using standard headphones and talking online. Conventional Xbox communicator headsets cover one ear for chat, leaving only a single ear for hearing game audio from the speakers. The Ear Force X3 overcome this...more

If you haven't already seen the other 85 reviews, then let me tell you that yes it works, and it works very, very well; just as well as the 360 adapter with the exception of the whole WPA-WEP password protection although it doesn't affect me anyways because I don't keep a password on my wireless network. It works outstandingly with both of the xbox models.

It was originally designed for the first Xbox console, but it works flawlessly with the current generation XBox 360. This product basically works like an ethernet bridge. Once you have set it up, it should work with any device that has an ethernet adapter. You will need to connect it to your XBox 360 at first. Once it has established a connection with your access point, you can then move it to any ethernet-enabled device and it should work. I could not decide whether ...more

Like most people (IMHO) i learn better through books and then self training than reading everything online. The Microsoft XNA Unleashed by Chad Carter is a great book as it is not merely a skim through from the top for XNA but is very detailed. I have just started and i dont think i will be done with the book very soon. I like his presentation style as well as the detail. I read all the reviews and sure some folks think it ...more

Did you know the following facts about Xbox?
Xbox was first released on November 15, 2001 in North America, February 22, 2002 in Japan, and on March 14, 2002 in Europe.
Its Xbox Live service allows players to compete online as well as download games and additional content.
Known during development as Xenon, Xbox 2, Xbox Next or NextBox, the Xbox 360 was conceived in early 2003.
In February of 2003, planning for the Xenon software platform began, and was headed by Microsoft VP J Allard.
Due to its early launch, the Xbox 360 has a one-year lead on both of its competitors, Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii.
At launch, the Xbox 360 was priced at US$399 and the Core System was priced at US$299.
Xbox Live Silver is free of charge and allows users to create a user profile, join on message boards, access Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade and Marketplace and talk to other members.
An Xbox Live Silver account does not generally support multiplayer gaming; however, some games that feature their own subscription service can be played with a Silver account.
John Carmack stated at QuakeCon 2005 that the Xbox 360 has "the best development environment I've seen on a console".
Backward compatibility is achieved through software emulation of the original Xbox.
Xenos contains 48 unified shader units, which are capable of both vertex and pixel shading operations. This is in contrast to older graphics processor designs which utilize separate specialized units for these tasks.
