Discount Viva Piñata (Platinum Family Hits)


I don't know why but I purchased this game out of impulse. Im 26 years old and believe me for a kids game its pretty darn good. Easy to play and lots of animals to catch/raise and lots of fruit/vegetables and flowers to grow. It will keep you on your seat for at least a few hours.

If you like RPG games or "build games" then this would be a good addition to your collection. Get more detail about Viva Piñata (Platinum Family Hits).

Low Price Fear 2: Project Origin


First of all, this is one of my favorite FPS on the xbox, this is INCREDIBLY fun, I mean, remember theold and rather dull smg on the original F.E.A.R.? It is one of my favorite weapons on the game and has absolutely beautiful slow-mo kills. The story is ar more enaging than it's older brothers, in the old one, it was just walka clones and finding the ring-leader of it all, actually I think it was so dull I don't even remember it, But in F.E.A.R. 2 it is much much more interesting. There is a very interesting ending too, and it says sequel, not the Halo 2 "I'm finishing this" kind of end though. Graphicshave drastically improved I was in awe when I saw it, not the budget graphics like in the old ones, no,n F.E.A.R. 2 you get Halo 3-ish graphics.

Now for the very few cons. Not scary at all. maybe it's just me, but I never thought the F.E.A.R. series was EVER scary, I own all of them, they are just FPS's with a diffrent more unique twist on the genre. Some of my favorite guns are gone too, I don't remember the names but I miss them, but this is forgivable since you get new weapons, which is nice. The actual game is a bit shorter than th first, a little less than an hour shorter.

But this a terrific game, buy it definatly if you want a GREAT FPS but if you want a horror game look somewhere else, but even if your in the latter category, still rent it

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack Right now


AC/DC Live: Track Pack has all the rock-edge you've wanted to play in a music game. The songs are fun to play, with accurate-enough charts and tunes that even if you didn't think you knew--most of which--you'll realize you've heard on your local rock station a dozen times before (which by no means is a bad thing). Obviously this will cater the most to fans of the band, and really, if you don't at least moderately like AC/DC I have no idea why you'd pick this up.

All of the songs are currently--and possibly *forever*--exclusive to this disc, so don't expect to find them in the DLC updates. According to an article I read online, AC/DC refuses to put out individual tracks (either in music games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, nor individual mp3s found in services like iTunes) because they consider themselves a 'full-album band'... which is an unusual attitude to have, but I get it, I guess.

The only qualm I really have with this Track Pack is that, since it uses the Rock Band 1 system, you need to play through a Career-style menu in order to unlock each song. (Eg. You start off with Song 1 and can't advance until you beat it, which then unlocks Song 2 to play.. then Song 3.. and Song 4, etc.) Although, once you've completed all of the songs, they're yours to play in Quickplay, but don't expect to be able to create your own tracklist once you have unlocked them all--you'll need the Rock Band 2 functions for such things.

Luckily, the game comes with a one-time use transfer code--as mentioned in the description--to let you download the entire set as one giant file to your 360's harddrive for use with either Rock Band game in the series (and supposedly future Rock Band games as well, but we'll see about that), keep in mind that you'll need to connect to Xbox Live Marketplace to use the transfer code however.Get more detail about AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack.
