I've personally purchased every FIFA game since 2001 and played the game since it first appeared on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. That's over a decade of yearly iterations plus the "World Cup" and "UEFA" editions. I know what I'm talking about.

FIFA 08 on the PS3 is the best FIFA game ever to be released on a Sony system. The graphics and music are top-notch, but that's standard for the game's last few years.

Where the game breaks new ground is in the physics department. Never have professional athletes been honoured with such life-like avatars. Every kick, deak and tackle looks and more importantly feels like the real thing. The new shooting mechanics are inspired as are the ball physics. Combined these two components push the realism through the roof.

The list of impressive attributes continues: loading times are nearly non-existent, Create-a-player is more robust, the arena interface (also found in EA's NBA LIVE 08) is simple and fun and the addition of custom formations is a long awaited boon.

Finally the return of "The Lounge", the tweaking of "Manager Mode" and the addition of the "Be-A-Pro Mode"(which allows the user to control only one player during the match) ups the replay value exponentially.

FIFA 08 is stellar really an awesome buy for anyone looking for a great sports game. My only complaint involves the lacklustre commentary, which despite being broad in scope is less than enthusiastic.

That small flaw aside, EA has a real winner here. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.

This is the best FIFA Soccer game yet the graphics are wonderful on a 1080p DLP TV and the presentation, licensing, is top notch. Gameplay is much improved, although I agree with several previous reviewers on two very important points:

1. When defending, all you can really do is run alongside the ball handler and try to pressure him off of the ball. That's it. Timing a tackle can also work, but if you miss, you're in odd-man situation and the AI does a fairly good job at working a shot.

2. Trying to execute a 'trick' move is very hard to do, must be anticipated well in advance, and even then, there is little success. Even in extreme situations (i.e. C Ronaldo vs. any Derby County defender get the point).

Also, the AI seems very proficient at corner kicks much more proficient then you will find you will be able to be. But enough criticism. The game is fun, has very little framerate issues (you'll see a slight hesitation rarely), has great stadiums & kits and plays well online. This is a big step for this franchise and sets the stage for a (potentially) very strong, PES-challenging game platform. In fact, FIFA '08 is strong enough to make those of us fluent in the PES/Winning Eleven series to start nit-picking that game (mainly, the lack of licensing and amount of editing needed to be done to present the teams & kits properly). What's important at the end of the day, however, is the play on the pitch, and FIFA has made big strides. It's not quite as smooth and responsive as PES, but the gap is narrowing and "Seabass" (the producer of PES 2008) should be on DEFCOM alert 4.

Purchase with confidence enjoy!

I'm a football video gaming freak and have been for a decade now. With regards to this game, i feel it is one of the best fifa games i've ever played. visuals, audio and detail is brilliant. however, most of us want to get INTO the game only to an extent, and what matters most is the gameplayviz passing, shooting, making moves. I completely echo review "JB"'s comments. Antipation is key, but even if you know what to do have pulled off the button combination for attack/defend, the player responsiveness just is not as sharp and timely as you would find in a pro evolution soccer game. I know, now you must be thinking I am biased towards the latter, but I've played fifa games for a decade now and I know what a fantastic football game should be like. In this latest version, like JB said, when you defend you can't do much apart from run alongside the attacker and hope for the best, and attacking, again because you have to anticipate so far in advance it makes it difficult to put any classy move together. Fun to play in doubles or more though, since controller sensitivity and player response frustrations are mitigated somewhat. overall still a fun game, and probably the best until evo 2008 comes out. if fifa can just tweak the current game play to make the players slightly more responsive, there would be no competition. alas, another year to be spent in hope

Fifa 08 is a very good game. I sold my Fifa 10 (very frustrating, especially w/ foul system) and traded down to the closest thing to Fifa 07 which was this. At first experience playing on semi-pro level, it was very difficult to score goals. However, over time I got experienced and it wasn't difficult for me anymore. Keeping it short & simple. PROS: Excellent graphics, Good AI, Ability to manage finances in Manager Mode (not avail. in Fifa 10). CONS: Sometimes other teammates get in your way when you're on the ball, They are sometimes non-responsive when the ball is passed to them, No milestone for every five goal increment, Commentators sometimes give false info, Commentator judgments are often delayed, or slow, Absence of referee on the field (only shows up for R/Y cards). Overall Fifa 08 is a very good game and I would recommend it.

Finally, how grateful am I that a true soccer game has returned. I'm pleased to say that this is the best FIFA that has come in years. The feel of the game, the graphics, the sounds, the new gameplay, etc. I'll try not to make this a long review so here it goes. FIFA has all of the clubs that matter, (and many that don't, really) with official kits, boots, balls, stadiums and many more. The new addition is the shooting system, place the ball where you want it. There is also the new be a pro mode that allows you to play with a single player and be judged on your performance. I have said before that FIFA was becoming an expensive roster update, but I must now take that back and judge this game as excellent. Please, if you love soccer, do us all a favor and pick this game, you won't regret it, I bet my life on it.

There's not much to say about this controller, it works great and it's really fun to play with. One important detail that is not mention on the description, is that this controller works with Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band and Rock Band 2

I pre-ordered the band kit for World Tour and had it delivered the day it came out, meaning as of this writing I've owned the game for roughly 4 months.

Yesterday, my guitar was rendered useless.

Let me start out by saying that I am an avid fan of the GH series. I own every game except the Aerosmith version, which I still played in length. As for guitar controllers, I own this one and the GH2 version. To this day the GH2 guitar works perfectly. The same cannot be said for the World Tour guitar.

My trouble started about a week after receiving the band kit. Every so often, the alignment would get stuck in the down position, meaning I would have to turn the controller off to fix it. Irritating, but not a big deal. A month later the strum bar started registering two strums every so often when it was only strummed once. Quite a bit more irritating, but I was able to live with it. Fast forward to last night, and my guitar is more or less useless. It will only register a proper strum about 25% of the time; the rest either register as two strums or don't register at all.

Keep in mind that I in no way man-handled or misused the controller. I never used excessive force on the strum bar and when not using the guitar it sat on a secure hook on the wall. It never fell, I never dropped it, nothing was spilled on it, it was never stepped on.

Keep in mind also that I really didn't use it all that much. I played about 5 hours a week max for about 4 months. The previously mentioned GH2 controller probably got 10 times the amount of use and is still working perfectly (knock on wood).

I was considering buying the upcoming GH Metallica bundle, but if it's just the same guitar I don't want to waste my money. I'll most likely buy a PS2 adapter and use my GH2 guitar as a replacement.

Great product. Love the guitar and works great with Rock Band 2. Not so much a fan of GHWT game but love the guitar. The frets are alot more comfortable for my hands than the RB2 guitar and having the star power button at the palm of the hand is great. Recommend this for a guitar controller

We bought GHWT and included this extra guitar so that we can have 4 players and have a lead guitar and bass at the same time. (GHWT comes with just one guitar.)

I liked this one because it was the "standard" for the game.

I love how they include stickers to personalize the guitars, too...

GHWT has the best controllers (from what I've heard) included with the game (as opposed to Rock Band or Rock Band 2) and I wanted to be sure we had the longest-lasting, most usable controllers for our setup.

Fun, fun, fun!!!

FOLLOW-UP...Well, I wrote this review based on the original guitar in the package that came with the full-game. When I opened this particular guitar, it was broken out of the box. The strum bar didn't work at all. What a disappointment! I had to send it back to Activision...seems that this is a common issue. Bummer.

Cars 2: The Video Game

The plight of video game adaptations of movies is well chronicled, from ET back on the 2600 all the way to atrocities like Thor, Rise of the Silver Surfer and so on.

I'm very happy to say, Cars 2 isn't one of those games.

The game begins with something of a "mini short"...if you haven't seen the movie, obviously you should before playing the game or it won't make any sense! Anyway, it's really cool. Then you go into your "Chrome" training, and advance through several levels of being a secret agent. Some of the modes...

Attack: If you've played Blur, you're familiar with the "Demolition" events, where the goal was to earn as many points until time ran out. Same thing here: You get time for the cars that you blow up, and there are bronze/silver/gold trophies (not PSN ones, just the event) that give you points accordingly.

Race: Just like it sounds...most are 3 laps, some you use powerups on, some you don't. Safe to say there's a fair amount of rubber banding going on...in only 1 race did I win by more than a few seconds, and I'm a fairly seasoned racer (198th in the world out of 35,000 in Blur)

Hunter: You're battling drones in an arena like setting

Survival: How's this for fun: You have to continuously gather batteries to keep your shield up, if it drops, BOOM!

All in all, it's a surprising amount of variety for a kids themed game that will give adults a run for their money.

While Cars 2 has many of the "normal" driving options (i.e., drifting, boosts, etc.) it also adds in a layer of strategy with the Energy meter on your car. When it's full, you basically turn into a nitroing/shielding messenger of doom. But while you're trying to fill it all the way, you're likely going to get passed. So do you try to go for the home run or use your boost to stay out in front before that point? And the courses have shortcuts which usually have gas...which fills your energy faster. You can also drive backwards, on two wheels...in short pretty much whatever you've seen the Cars do in Cars 1 and 2 you can do on the race track.

Speaking of the tracks...they are nice and varied, as are the locals, and have multiple paths to get to the finish line on each.

So grips...yes there's a few...

As in Mario Kart, you're going to get nailed when you're out in front, and in one race in particular I got nailed 3 times in a row by the CPU and went from 1st to 6th.

Some of the graphics are what I call "rough around the edges". Play a game like Dirt 3 and/or GT5 and there's a huge difference.

And, one of the major reasons I gave this game 4 stars vs. 5: All the best racing games give you a sense of SPEED. It seems all too often in this game, even when you're boosting, that you're just not going that fast. Maybe it's because it's more geared towards kids...but I feel like I'm crawling during the races.

The bottom line:

If you've got kids that love Cars and can use the PS3 controls, this is a must purchase.

If you're a racing fan in general...if you can overlook the joking you might get, there IS an amazing amount of depth and strategy for what amounts to a "kids" racing game.

And obviously...if you're a "sim" guy yeah this isn't the game for you. Nothing realistic about gatling guns and jumping off the track through billboards. You won't see that in Gran Turismo. :)

In closing, a great job by the Avalanche developers and Pixar in creating a fun, 2011 racing game based on the Cars 2 movie.

There aren't a lot of PS3 games I enjoy playing with my 5-6 year old kids. Most games are either too simple/boring for me, or too complex/violent for the kids. This game is the exception. I have had a blast playing the different levels with my boys and, if you have a 3DTV, this is one of my favorite games to play in 3D. The added depth is great, the colors are vibrant and sharp, and there is zero ghosting or crosstalk.

My 7 year old son had an interesting in purchasing this game so we picked it up. I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised as to how much fun it is. Think Mario Cart and Cars.

Want Cars 2: The Video Game Discount?

We pre-ordered this game because our four-year-old is a huge Cars fan. It doesn't disappoint at all. The game play is fun with a good amount of variety for a racing game. There are races that are battle-themed and some that are just about speed. It uses the Mario Kart style "question-mark boxes" that give you items to use in the race (in some levels, not all). We haven't gone through too many of the courses yet, but they have all been beautiful. The colors really pop. It is international with locations like Tokyo and Italy, so nicely rendered you'll want to take a vacation there right away. Four-yearold finds it easy in some part and challenging in others. You get to choose which character you race with and each character has a lot of personality. For example, you'll hear Lightning say his classic "Kachow!" It's a must-buy for a Cars fan and much better than the other Cars games. Hope this helps!

I ordered this modded controller for my son's birthday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to order it from amazon uk, which was a pain and an expense as the shipping and customs charges to get it from the USA were almost as much as the controller itself! However, this was the desired present so I placed my order. I was amazed at how quickly it was delivered, in fact it came as quickly as ordering from the UK website and arrived in plenty of time for my son's birthday, so thank you Geniusmods! As far as the controller is concerned, I wouldn't have a clue how to work it or what it does but according to my son and his friends, "it's well sick" (which apparently means its really good) and allows you to do all sorts of things that an ordinary controller can't do. The controller itself cost about £89.00 shipping from USA was about £33.00 and customs duty was another £35.00.

PS2/PS3 Rock Band 2 Standalone Guitar

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $119.95
Today's Bonus:

I have been a long time Guitar Hero (GH) player. And after playing Rock Band 1 a few months ago, I found it fun but hard to strum the notes as easily as I can with GH.

Recently I was playing the new Rock Band 2 (RB2) guitar at my local electronics store and fell in love with the wood burst body and wood paneled neck. So I placed my pre-order and received it today....

I am in love. I love the sturdy and non-clicky strum bar (I HATED the "click-click" sound of the GH strum). The frets give off some noise but not that bad. They feel good but are harder to keep your place as easily as GH. The feel of the guitar is nice and feels like quality in your lap or hanging from your shoulder. The nice sleek lines of the guitar is even nicer to look at when you're not playing. The whammy is nearly identical to the whammy bar of GH but a bit longer. The start button is nicely recessed and the PS3 button and connect button are nicely designed.

I was really relieved to see that the standalone RB2 guitar is in fact the wood burst body design and NOT the black RB2 guitar that is included in the RB2 bundle. I am extremely pleased and I have officially crossed over from GH to RB. The guitar looks like a real Fender Strat and after owning this guitar, GH guitars look like cheap 5-year old toys.

I wrote a review of the last generation Strat controller that you can find with the original product: Playstation 3 Rock Band Wireless Guitar

This review will address, primarily, the modifications Harmonix made.

As I said in the title, if you didn't like the last one--that is, if you HATED it, as many people do--you're not going to like this one, either.

Harmonix mostly tweaked the things that most people complained about and added a couple plush features, as well.

First, the strumbar: it's still a Strat strumbar, but it has a much better defined range of motion and comes to a complete and definite stop going in each direction. It is still "soft" and noiseless, but it should appease people who found the original to be "mushy."

Second, the fret buttons: still a bit clicky, though much quieter. You don't really get that loud "snap-back" clack when you release the buttons the way you sometimes did with the guitar from the original game.

Third: you can use this for either game, so if you just want an upgrade to your RB guitar for now, this will do it for you. I really recommend jumping up to RB2, though.

Now, the extra features:

The wireless dongle has a little something extra about it this time: two USB ports so that it can function as a hub as well as a dongle. Makes it possible to hook up four instruments on a two-USB-port system without the use of an external hub.

Auto-calibrate (RB2 only) is wonderful feature: select it from the menu, hold the guitar up to your speaker, then hold it up to your TV and you're calibrated. It has worked absolutely perfectly for me and I'm actually playing and scoring better because of it.

The rest of the changes are pretty much cosmetic and very minor. I do think this controller looks nicer than the original, but the one I got (which came with the special edition) isn't a flameburst design but just the usual black.

No question, obviously this is the guitar you should spend money on. I've played with other guitars, and they just don't respond the same way, nor are built with any durability in mind. If you own, or have owned, the original Rock Band Fender Strat, you know it was not a good guitar. Harmonix really did a great job in retooling the guitar. The strum bar is sturdier, the neck action is smoother, the clicking sound from the frets is quieter, and overall is a great plastic instrument! The guitar is really made for authenticity, unlike GH guitars, which to me seem very toy-like, and thick. With this upgrade, Harmonix really hit one out of the park.

DO NOT BUY AN IMITATION GUITAR! YOU WILL REGRET THE MONEY YOU WILL SINK INTO IT!

This combo pack is amazing, this Includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Greatest Hits and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition which includes free dlcs and a metallic blue DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller. The Dual Pack and PS3 controller alone are around $40 each.

I'm not fan of shooters but I wanted to play through the first two Uncharted games before I consider buying Uncharted 3. I played through Uncharted 1 when it released in 2007 the graphics where stunning and still are to date. The gameplay and story are simply amazing.Uncharted 2 improves everything from the 1st uncharted. The graphics are absolutely jaw dropping the gameplay is intense and fast paced. I don't like competitive multiplayer games but I found Uncharted 2 multiplayer very addictive it has all the game modes that most shooters have but with an uncharted twist and gameplay. There is also some co-op modes which you can play some co-op levels and Survival mode.

The controller it comes with is a standard DS3 controller except its blue with great rumble and almost completely useless Sixaxis. It does not come with a usb cord for charging

Overall it is a great value if you need an extra controller and Uncharted series alone has won a ton of Game of the Year Awards so far the only flaws are very minor in my opinion. both games are short 10 hours and no usb cable, however usb cables are very cheap and both games for the experience and unlockable content are worth multiple playthroughs and Uncharted 2 multiplayer will increase longevity.

There is no DLC on the disc itself, all DLC is accessible through a code that comes with the game. All of the codes for Uncharted 2: Game of the Year Edition expired in 2010. In other words, this product NO LONGER EXISTS as advertised. It is simply the standard Uncharted 2 in a different case now. Please be forewarned.

I have also contacted a Sony representitive and there's no way they could extend the expiration date or offer any terms of credit to purchase the DLC.

Sony and Naughtydogs, I'm truly disappointed in you guys for having an expiration date on your exclusive games. I'm a big fan of your products, but in the future, you guys need to put an expiration date or a warning about these vouchers.

Read Best Reviews of Ultimate Combo Pack: UNCHARTED Greatest Hits Dual Pack & DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller Here

As a starter, I would like to say that I have had my PS3 for over a year and this is my first time getting an Uncharted game. The games are very fun, and even though they were released in 2007 and 2008, they still have good graphics compared to some of the newer PS3 games. Drake's Fortune doesn't have online multiplayer which may be a negative for some, but if you have played Uncharted before, you know that you buy the games for the storymode, not online. You also get a blue controller which is great because now I can play Modern Warfare 3 with my friends. However neither Uncharted games support split screen play, so in one way it is silly that the Uncharted combo pack is paired with an extra controller. That doesn't affect me though, because like I said, I already have a split screen game so that I can play with my friends. Just like the box says, it is a $34 value which is great because I have yet to see either of these products at a great discount separately. The only thing that I was disappointed with is that the bundle is a North American product which means that both the box and the games have both English and French writing on them instead of the usual United States English only format. So, if you like adventure games and need another controller; don't hesitate and buy this bundle before it is sold out!

The games came in separate cases, which I find nice. The Uncharted Super Voucher says that it expired 05/09/2012, but still worked on 05/09/2013. Just followed the instruction printed on the card, which was inside Uncharted 2.

The controller came in sleeve. It is a shiny metallic blue, not the "blue" controller available at retail.

Check out this video review to see what you get in the collector's edition with your own two eyes.

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

This is a review specifically focusing on the extras that come with the collector's edition of the game...

The Sackboy Plushie: For a lot of people, this is possibly the biggest selling points of the collector's edition. Sackboy may just be the most adorable character to come out of the past decade, so having a licensed plushie of him would be, for many, a dream come true. It's disappointing then that the quality of the plushie is rather poor. The plushie looks significantly different than the Amazon image above and the image on the box. Compared to what is displayed, the plushie is a much darker brown, its head has more of a pronounced egg shape, its button eyes are smaller, and it just has an overall "school arts and crafts" vibe about it. I thought perhaps I may have just received a bad one, but I have seen images of others that are just the same poor quality. The image also shows the plushie sitting down which suggests that the legs can swivel or are loose enough pose. However they are stiff and cannot move. All this is upsetting because the Sackboy plushie displayed is clearly an entirely different plushie than the one you get. If your main reason for getting the collector's edition is the plushie, I would suggest possibly passing on it (Or at least look at images of the actual plushie you get to see if the quality is good enough for your liking. I have posted an image here on Amazon.)

The Bookends: Though they (intentionally) have a cardboard look to them, they are made of a stiff material and are sturdy. Each bookend is about 8 inches (20 cm) high and 5 inches (13 cm) wide. There are two cardboard cutouts, one on each bookend (Sackboy holding an arcade cabinet on one, and LBP's Da Vinci surrounded by Sackbots on the other) which add some 3 dimensional pizzazz. Contrary to the plushie, these bookends are pretty nice.

The Costumes/Avatars: For others, this will be the big selling point of the collector's edition. It's probably important to point out again that these are downloadable content costume packs and are NOT on the disc (otherwise meaning your PS3 will need to be hooked up to the internet to acquire them). Inside the game case is a small voucher with the code that you can redeem on the Playstation Network. The Jak & Daxter costumes are only available in the collector's edition of the game, so if you want them, this is the only way to get them. All the costumes are of good quality like the other LBP DLCs available and are definitely the highlight of the collector's edition. LBP costumes on the Playstation Network cost roughly $1-2, so all the costumes make up more the than half the additional cost of the collector's edition which helps justify it. The voucher also lets you redeem 5 avatars which you can display on your PSN ID if you want to show off your adoration for LBP2.

While the plushie is a bit of a letdown, the decent bookends and fun costumes pick up the slack. You would probably spend nearly $20 on the costumes anyway, so if you're interested in them (especially the Jak & Daxter costumes which, again, are only available if you get this edition of the game), you might as well pick up the collector's edition and get everything else.

LittleBigPlanet 2 is a continuation of the first LittleBigPlanet, in the sense that the fun still never stops. With many new features this game easily packs a punch twice as hard as the first one though. new features include cut scene creator , sound creator, you can create (with some imagination) many different variations of mini-games within your created level (for me I made a paintinator shooter to play with my roommate). What's my favorite feature? Probably that it's compatible with the Move, although to be truthful I haven't used the Move with it yet (it just sounds like a fun idea that they had).

The levels in LBP 2 are even more creative than the first one (if that's even possible), the graphics are more polished (if it matters), and load screens don't seem to take as long. The create mode is a thousand times easy than the first time (very user-friendly). Create mode is easier in the sense that all of the tutorials are right in front of you and you don't have to try everything on your popit in order to see them all. ALSO maybe my favorite improvement is that when you go to create and enemy (using the brain) they are just mindless going back and forth, they actually do what you would expect an enemy to do.

The online system is also amazing. The internet style level search bar looks like it will make finding levels you want to play a breeze (since nobody has really made any levels yet, I have not had the pleasure to use it yet).

When it comes to cons there really aren't any that I can speak of. Graphics are clean, gameplay is funner than ever, load screens are bearable, and sackboy is still cute as hell.

Now I have a sackboy plush to put near my TV as well. The plush is very durable and feels like it is lined on the inside with some reinforcing plastic.

The bonus costumes are all great but my personal favorite are the ratchet and clank ones (mostly clank because your sackboy looks so hilarious running around as clank)

So overall I would give this game 10/5 stars, but since they won't let me I'll just have to give it 5. I know what I'm doing in my free time this week =]

Read Best Reviews of LittleBigPlanet 2: Collector's Edition Here

I am going to review this a little different than my normal reviews as if you owned LBP1 you pretty much know the gameplay, graphics, sound etc. This review is going to be broken down into 2 parts.

1. The Game itself

2. The CE box edition

____ THE GAME ____

Okay Little Big Planet, if you have not played it before, is pretty much a platform'er w/ some adventure and wonderful creativity thrown into it. The game is suitable for all ages and has almost infinite re-playability. When you finish the campaign not only do you have item collecting to do but online user created levels, can create your own levels, dress up your pod, play mini games or redo the campaign with up to 4 people and have a blast just enjoying yourself.

LBP2 made some changes to the formula which I think gave it a much stronger campaign. While the levels early on can be a bit annoying or challenging (due to the grapple gun mechanics) the game as a whole is very polished and boasts a fantastic sound track, some really good and funny voice acting. They implemented a more solid storyline this time and it gives each level a lot more meaning to it. The new versus levels are a lot of fun also with friends.

The online play is extremely fluid, hopping into random games or inviting friends is even easier than the first game. If you loved Little Big Planet this game will easily bring a smile to your face once again. If you loved to create levels in little big planet, LBP2 will blow your mind with what you can do. You can recreate games like pac-man, asteroids, street fighter, even play a game of basketball; the versatility of this game is never ending.

If you never played Little Big Planet but were very curious about it, this is definitely a title worth picking up. Next to the Uncharted series, LBP is easily one of my top titles released on the PS3.

9.7 / 10 ( 97% ... 5 stars ) for the game. There are some minor bugs that aren't game breaking but can cause that happy smile to turn into a frown for a few moments but not enough to hurt this game. I expect many of the little problems to be patched out within a few days as these are just your typical launch bugs

____ COLLECTORS EDITION _____

Now... I am going to review the collectors edition. Essentially, is the CE worth +$20 ? Lets review what you get with the CE first

1. Book/Game ends (60%)

** These actually are much better quality than I expected. They do not feel like cardboard at all but I have a feeling they are probably heavy duty cardboard w/ plaster coating over it. They seem far to light for the material. However, they do work quite well. I have tested it with a bunch of games and they hold just fine. They also do a good job holding a bunch of books; though small books like paperbacks such as Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time etc Each end has small rubber/felt feet(4) on it and I think here is the problem with why people are having issues with them. They dont' have enough "grip" to really hold these ends in place. On a smooth surface like my polished PC desk they slide far to easy and a simple bump would cause it to lose its hold on the books. Replacing the little felt feet with solid plastic/rubber would resolve the problem but overall, out of the box these kinda-sorta work.

2. 5 PSN avatars (50%)

** What can I say, they are PSN premium avatars. Nothing special honestly and they don't even look that good IMO

3. Jax and Daxter exclusive costumes (100%)

** These are exclusive to the CE. The costumes look fantastic in 720p with high detail put into them.

4. 11 DLC costumes (100%)

** Who doesn't want more costumes! Depending on pricing when the hit official DLC it can be $6-$11 in savings (technically since you are paying $20 more for the CE)

5. LBP2 game disk (100%)

** Of course you get the game silly! At least you better have a game in the box ^_^

6. 7" Plushie (collectible) (50%)

** If you don't already own a sackboy / sackgirl plushie then this might be worth having as they do sell for anywhere from $10 $30 depending on the quality. However they are all usually 10" in size not 7". This is pretty much a smaller version of the standard plushie you find anywhere. From the original pictures included of the box set when announced they showed a completely different , higher quality Sackboy plushie. It was the first thing I noticed also was that this wasn't the advertised Plushie in fact it is all over the internet, in these reviews, my friends pointed it out also. Is this a killer, not really as you still get a cute plushie! Its just a bit of a let down as well as slightly misleading pictures/advertising

ANYHOW as you can see , in my book the CE scored 2 100's 2 50's and a 60 so doing some math that's 72% (i'm not including #5 in the calculation for obvious reasons :) )

72% is pretty low in my book for a CE box set. (Caka.. BARELY passing) With that said:

*** The CE is a PASS. Do not spend $20 on this unless you honestly want a 7" plushie for the kids (or to add to a collection or something) and some bookends that sorta-kinda-maybe work half the time 0_o the costumes are really nice though but I'm sure you can end up buying them as DLC later on. Save your money

--Gameplay (5 out of 5 stars)--

This game is definitely the successor to the original LittleBigPlanet. Although some complain about the storyline, it is insignificant compared to the breadth of levels and diversity in gameplay that you will encounter. You'll play with a grappling hook, Creatinator and many other gaming elements that will constantly challenge your platforming formula. These elements are enjoyable with one player or four players. You level of commitment can range from trying to ace every level solo or conducting a crazy social experiment with three other people you've never met. The ability to play with players locally, online, or both simultaneously while earning trophies on all associated accounts is a great feature.

More than the story, LittleBigPlanet is about community. As time goes on, you'll see more and more user-generated content. It can be brilliant as a Sack calculator, as fun as a game of Sack Basketball, as fast as overhead Sack Go Karts, or as funny as the Bed Intruder song with an Antoine Dodson sack following you everywhere.

For the casual gamer or the serious gamer, this game has unlimited possibilities and users never cease to amaze me with what they are capable of generating with the LittleBigPlanet tool at their disposal. If you own a PS3, this game is a no-brainer. Just don't buy the Collector's Edition for the reasons outlined below.

--Collector's edition perks (1 out of 5 stars)--

Unfortunately, the pictures for all of the additional content presented are rather deceiving. I was initially excited by the release images, but they a false representation.

Bookends

The characters depicted on the bookends are cute. However, the are little more than 2-d cardboard cutouts on what seems to be sticker-covered plastic slats. They will serve as excellent bookends for video games that can usually stand on their own. Anything of significance (e.g. Books) will cause them to slide or topple.

Sackboy Plush

The sackboy is a dark brown hue with a plastic zipper. Throw away any illusions of the texturized, well-constructed plush shown above. Other friends of mine have also purchased the Collector's edition and have been greeted with haphazard construction of their own plushies, including torn zipper lines and offset zippers. You can do much better at other online retailers.

Downloadable Content

The costumes and avatars are the two elements that appear as advertised! However, it is a just a combination of thrown-together costumes that will probably be available for individual purchase not too long from now.

The price for the additional By no means is this a large investment, but at pre-order Amazon offered $20 pre-order credit with the purchase of the standard edition. Having pre-ordered the collector's edition back in August 2009, I was rather cross once I found out about the discrepancy. To put it bluntly, I paid $40 for an underwhelming, poorly conceived (and constructed) set of LittleBigPlanet paraphernalia. As good as the game is, I recommend that you avoid the Collector's edition. Sorry Media Molecule, but you should stick solely with Video Games.

WarHawk Bundle with Bluetooth Headset

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $17.40
Today's Bonus: 13% Off

I have been a gamer for a long time and have particularly been a fan of Shooter games especially on the PC. Somehow, online multiplayer shooters have never been my cup of tea. I have tried Battlefield series, Resistance and a few others.

The main reason is that even after putting in weeks I continue to suck at these games. Somehow, that stops being fun very soon.

However, I think I have finally found my Multiplayer addiction. I picked up Warhawk as an impulse buy and after just two days I am absolutely hooked.

The graphics etc. are pretty good. It has some issues with stats and online leaderboards. Lacks some lobby features. Some of these are going to be addressed soon, others we'll have to live with.

What makes this game one of the best I have played, however, is the gameplay. For the first time learning the game was actually fun. While I am pretty bad at it, I can still have fun being bad. It takes a few hours to learn the ropes. I suggest you download/read the manual and a few online guides. After that this game has me totally hooked. I am giving it 5 stars for it's mind blowing gameplay. Even the initial learning curve is hugely fun.

Pick it up if you like shooters. You will "Get" online multiplayer gaming with this.

Whew! That's how you feel after you put down the controller. This is one of those mindblowing games that is so frenetic all the time you can hardly catch your breath. The dogfighting is amazing, graphics look nice, no lag. There are already tons of servers to connect to, so getting in a game is easy. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, but once you do it is balls to wall action. Keep in mind there is no real story here. There is no real campaign to undertake. Some might be turned off by that, but I found that it didn't detract from the overall experience. Historically, I've never been much for online play, but this game may have just changed my mind.

You risk your social life, your job and your relationship. This game is seriously addicting, I can't get enough and I fear my marriage my suffer because of it.

This online multiplayer shooter is everything I hoped it would be and more. It's fast paced and intense, provides an immersive atmosphere, impressive variety and rewards teamwork and strategy. The feeling of being in the middle of a pitched battle while trying to claim that crucial zone (or defend your flag, or to survive that dogfight, or bring the enemy flag home for the win) is amazing. You've got Warhawks dogfighting overhead as you take on ground troops and tanks. Bullets whiz by and explosions detonate all around as you hope those same aircraft don't take notice of you, all the while you've got to keep moving as you never know when that sniper will find you in his sites. Or, you can choose to be the person in the Warhawk, defending your team as they battle it out on the ground. Or, you can be the sniper, hiding on a hill just waiting for that perfect shot to present itself. Really, the possibilities are huge.

When you find yourself on a team that is using their headsets it gets even better as a well coordinated attack or defense can turn the tide of the battle.

With Incognito's promise of downloadable content to come you can bet this game will grow and evolve giving you reasons to keep coming back to it. There have been a couple of bugs that have cropped up since its release but, in all honesty, they haven't really affected my enjoyment of this game in the slightest and with Incognito's dedication to making this game great you can bet that these issues are soon to be fixed.

So, if you didn't get the sarcasm in my title, let me rephrase:

GO OUT AND GET THIS GAME TODAY!

And while I won't go so far as to say that this game alone is a reason to buy a PS3 if you don't already have one, with all the great games on the horizon combined with how great this game is, now is as good a time as any to get a PS3.

I originally crossed this game off my list when I heard it didn't have a single-player mode. In almost 20 years of playing games I never liked multiplayer because it was always mostly 12 year old kids cursing up a storm or people ruining the game by cheating.

Last week I thought "Well, we're in the 21st century, might as well get used to the idea of multiplayer". I got this game two days ago and have already spend over 8 hours playing. I think I just might call in sick tomorrow as well.

In my opinion, this is the best game to get you started in a multiplyer gaming. Unlike online FPSs, this diversifies the game a hundred fold by having so many different types of fighting Air, Ground, Vehicle. The real fun begins when you start finding unusual ways to getting a kill and it introduces a whole new dimension to the game. Imagine being a lone soldier on foot, with nothing but a pistol and a grenade being chased by a Warhawk into a bunker. Warhawk goes into hover mode and tries to stick its guns into the doorway of the bunker. As he lines up you toss a grenade at him. KABOOOM! You just took down a fighter plane with a HAND GRENADE!

The crowd on the servers seems to be more on the adult side I have found the people to be polite (One guy apologized twice for running me over accidentally with a tank). I think it has something to do with the fact that the price of PS3 keeps the younger gamers away. That won't last forever, so if you were previously put off by your past multiplayer experiences, this is the right game and the right time to get started.

My only complaints are just like everyone elses: The server interface needs work, preferrably like the one R:FOM where you are placed in the game automatically based on your rank/skill level. Also, some people are using "budget" headsets, which sometimes generates so much noise that no one else can converse throughout the game. That by the way is not the game's fault.

I think this game sets a new multiplayer standart, which is a good thing. I look forward to downloadable content as well as similar games in the genre.

I am an owner of both a PS3 and a Xbox360. Up until recently I have been pissed with the PS3's library of games (compared to 360), but that might be changing soon...

I picked up Warhawk and I must say "This game is loads of fun". Seriously if I had to describe Warhawk in one word, that word would be "FUN". The game runs very smoothly online.

GraphicsThe visuals in this game are stunning. The draw distance and scope of the levels are like nothing I have seen. Flying through the clouds is pretty sweet. It feels like you are in the middle of a battle.

SoundThere is nothing like walking around on foot and hearing a Warhawk fly by speeding over your head. Or the sound of Rockets buzzing past you. Machine gun fire from turrets. All in 5.1 Glory!!!

Controlyou are going to get OWNED for the first few games till you catch on. But dont worry at first it might seem pretty difficult but it actually becomes second nature very quickly (about 1hr)

Fun FactorAn ABSOLUTE BLAST.

If you own a PS3 this is a must have. If you do not own a PS3 this might not be the game that makes you go get one but it will definately add validity to the purchase.

I had bought these to get 2 more controllers for my ps3 but didnt wanna pay $50 apiece for a sony branded dualshock 3 controller. So i found these controllers, which when i ordered wasnt expecting sony quality controllers n was expecting it to be cheap crappy quality but enough to play with at least. I was completely shocked when i got these. The controllers look and feel just like a sony dualshock 3 controller, i would never know the difference if it didnt say sony on it. Had no problem syncing them w/ the charge cables that came with them. These work flawlessly. The only thing i dont like about them is that they are alil heavier than the sony controllers but not a big deal at all. i highly recommend these to everyone with a ps3. and shipping was quick and tracking was promt and quickly updated. definitely the best bang for $25. if you do order these i suggest you order something else to fill that $25 order minimum to get free shipping, otherwise there is a $9 tacked on to this.

I only have two problems with this game; the graphics could have been just a bit cleaner considering it's on a next gen console, and the environments are a little strange looking. Other than that, Physics on drifting and driving are not too toyish and not too sim, good balance. And I'm so glad I get to mod an S14 with name brands like JIC Magic, Tomei and C-West.

I love it, and I can't wait for NFS:Pro Street to come out so I can go even crazier, and eventually have no life. :)

Virtua Tennis 4

List Price: $49.99

I played many rounds of both VT1 & 2 for the dreamcast. The refined simple controls and time killing minigames of those two titles are replicated well in this new version. The graphics are a bit of a throwback but aren't that bad just a little rough. If you came for a full fledged MOVE experience you will be disappointed the bite sized exhibition and party game portion of the game controls well but is over quickly. I don't mind as it really feels like an extra and I don't think I want to play every match with move support (the option would be nice). The controls however open up the possibility for the next game in the series to really take advantage of 1:1 movement control. I like the standard dual shock control and for the roughly 30.00 price tag feel as though I got a game that will keep me coming back, progressing through the difficulty levels of the excellent career mode and engaging in some local multiplayer. If you are a fan of the series and its tilt to the arcade side of things then this shouldn't disappoint but don't expect much out of the MOVE control until the next game. 3&1/2 stars rounded up.

I play 6-10 hours a week of real tennis & have played a lot of tennis video games (Top Spin 1-4, Grand Slam Tennis & Virtua Tennis 1-3). I read a lot of negative reviews on this game (although some found it fun). As for me, I was looking for a tennis game I could use the Move with -since I found a cheap $49 Move Bundle w/Tiger Woods 12 & enjoyed Grand Slam Tennis on the Wii (my favorite tennis game). While Top Spin 4 is a good sim, it's not good using the Move controller. Despite the negative reviews of VT4, I sensed that people enjoyed the Move controls & simply didn't like that it wasn't available in career mode (the back of the box does clearly indicate Move support for exibition & party games only). Anyways, found the game for $20 bucks so I bought it and here are my impressions:

1) Unique Move Tennis experience. Yes it's only supported in exhibition but it's fun. Some people, like me -are looking for simple controls and 30 minutes of pick-up & play fun. That's what you get here.

3) Good old Arcade fun. Cool ground strokes and slams. Overall good graphics. Not too complicated -simple controls.

3) Nice roster -Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Del Potro plus legends and a better women's roster than TS4.

4) Those looking for a realistic tennis sim, you'll be pleased with Top Spin 4 or wait for Grand Slam Tennis 2.

5) You can get it cheap. Good fun for $20 bucks (even on release day, Amazon.com sold it for $32 instead of $49).

I gave it 5 stars due to fun and value.

Amazon sells it for $32.49 with free shipping. For that price, give it a shot. Motion control works better than Top Spin 4 PS3 and Racquet Sports.

I go into further detail in my video review.

Main positive is that VT4 implements 1:1 VERY well.

Main negative is that there isn't a tournament mode for Move players.

Please check out the video review for further details.

i bought this because i am a tennis freak but with the move this is not a very realistic game. you can swing any way and you will hit the ball back. gets boring quick no challenge. If you want a sports tennis game for the move get sports champions 2. the tennis in that beats this game by 100%.

Recently I was remembering my old N64 and playing Mario Tennis. I started looking into tennis games to look for an arcade style game that could satisfy my hunger for a simple and fun tennis video game like Mario Tennis. I heard VT4 was an arcadey tennis game so I figured it would be somewhat similar. This game is fun, its easy and kind of cheesy sometimes but its very fun. Its not a hardcore tennis sim, its just a simple pick up and play game. The world tour is OK but you spend way too much time moving around the board game type map, and it makes it a bit annoying. The arcade mode and exhibition modes are very fun, straight to the point. The roster is great and you can also create your own player for the World Tour and use it in the other modes. Haven't played online yet or with the MOVE but I heard it works great, Move only available for exhibition mode I believe. The music is also annoying but it can be turned off. I would have liked to have the option to use a personalized soundtrack like with Sports Champions, but its a minor thing.

In the end, if you want a simple, fun, and addictive tennis game a la Mario Tennis 64 then Virtua Tennis is just that. Very fun and highly recommended if that is the case. If you want a sim type game, then get Top Spin.
