Developed in collaboration with fitness expert Bob Greene, best known as Oprah's personal trainer, EA SPORTS Active provides a fun, inexpensive and easy to maintain regimen designed to encourage physical fitness and healthy living.

Gameplay Designed around the standard Wii Remote/Nunchuck tethered controller configuration, EA

SPORTS Active's interactive fitness program is more focused on physical activities than previous 'fitness' titles for the Wii, but still challenges you to have fun while developing a more healthy lifestyle. Separated into the three sections of workout, nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity, the user's experience begins with a pep talk from Bob Greene which quickly transitions into the beginnings of action as players set up profiles, choose a virtual personal trainer and enter baseline data like age, weight, gender, fitness goals, etc. Although the nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity sections add a holistic element facilitated by a mix of surveys and data input, building fitness through physical activity is the driving force behind EA SPORTS Active and as such the meat of the content resides in the workout section. Here players will find dozens of themed strength training and cardio workouts which can be customized as you choose and linked into circuit traning routines. These routines are introduced and monitored by your personal trainer, and allow for ongoing player motivation via real-time feedback on your workout form, an approximation of calories burned and the ability to adjust levels of exercise intensity.

Accessories Although activity in EA SPORTS Active flows exclusively through the combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers, it also utilizes a few additional accessories to maximize the functionality of this configuration. The first of these included with the game is the controller leg strap. By attaching this to their upper thigh and then slipping the Nunchuck controller into it, players can utilize the Nunchuck controller's motion sensing capabilities while it is connected to the Wii Remote to monitor their leg movements. This allows for cardio exercises like jogging and cardio boxing and strength training activities like squats. Also included with the game is a resistance band designed to increase the intensity of a variety of exercises such as bicep curls and shoulder presses and lifts. In addition, although not included, the Wii Balance board is compatible with many EA SPORTS Active workouts, but only as an optional added controller configuration.

Key Game Features:

● Active Fitness Made Fun & Easy - 20 minute circuits feature a variety of familiar activities that target upper body, lower body as well as cardio. Start off with a light jog, followed by bicep curls and get your heart beating with some cardio boxing.

● Benefit of a Virtual Personal Trainer - Your trainer will be the focal point of the experience guiding you towards your own version of personal achievement. Feedback will be given throughout your workout, keeping you on track to reach your fitness goals.

● The 30 Day Challenge - Take the 30 Day Challenge and experience tailor made 20 minute workouts to your level of fitness. Circuits will change as you progress each day, and EA SPORTS Active will track calories, intensity and progress throughout your journey.

● New Way to Play - Slip the Nunchuk into the specially designed leg strap and hold the Wii Remote in your hand to track your movements from both your upper and lower body. A resistance band is also included to increase the intensity of exercises such as bicep curls and shoulder presses.

● Workout Your Way - Circuits can be customized to your interest and fitness level. Choose your duration, intensity level & set your own goals for calories burned and workout score.

● Workout with a Friend - Burn calories with a friend as you both workout through routines together in a co-operative mode.● Track Your Progress - Expand your Fitness IQ and keep track of your workouts inside and outside of EA Sports Active with the

in-game Journal.● Wii Balance Board Compatibility - Get more out of your EA SPORTS Active workout using a Wii Balance Board with added

functionality for many of exercises.

Co-op Multiplayer Mode Along with its single player experience, EA SPORTS Active also features a deep and entertaining two-player cooperative gameplay mode. Designed to tap into the time tested motivational factor of having a workout buddy beside you as crunch through reps and up your personal best, regardless of a player's current fitness levels or future fitness goals, this mode is sure to enhance the level of fun of players at all levels.

Customer Reviews

WOW!!! Now this is a workout game!!! If you're looking for a workout game with variety, this is it. I was very impressed with the different workouts, the graphics and how the game makes me feel once I have completed a workout. As a P90X grad I thought this game was going to be wussy, but wow it is making me feel it. For the strength training I have substituted the resistance band that came with the game for my own heavier one, that way I will get more out of the workout. As for the leg strap, it fits nicely when pulled all the way up and securely fastened. I would suggest trying to squat with it before starting the game, that way you can adjust accordingly. I wish I could give this game more stars because it really impressed me big time! I will still use My Fitness Coach and Wii Fit at times, but this is the ultimate workout game! Would I recommend this game?? 100% YES!!!!

Most intense workout ever! I have tried Wii Fit, and Gold's Gym Cardio and they do not even COMPARE to EA Sports Active. I was very skeptical because of the disappointment with Wii Fit but i could not be happier with this purchase. The workouts have a lot of variety, they make you sweat, and they are fun! The 30 day challenge is great but if you want a more specified workout you can choose one from a list. Some of the workouts you can choose from are from 10-60 minutes, different intensities, different body target areas, whether you want cardio based or not, and much more. Pick this up and you will not be sorry that you did ! Forget wii fit - this is what Wii Fit SHOULD have been!

Finally a workout that makes me sweat! This is a great game. I started with the 30 day challenge and have completed 2 workouts. This game definitely makes me sweat more than the 'my fitness coach'. The resistance band is a bit light but ok. I wish it would track my weight and other measurements...but other than that..a complete workout game! Highly recommend!

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to Wii Fit and the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board, which comes bundled with it. Used together players will experience an extensive array of fun, dynamic and surprisingly challenging activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and balance oriented games. The focus of these activities is towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions, but it's the fun approach to fitness of Wii Fit that will keep players hooked on fitness for years to come.

The Wii Fit Balance Board The primary tenet of Wii Fit is balance. Your center of balance, the point between your left and right sides when you stand upright, has a lot to do with your health. Those without an even center of balance will be unnaturally compensating for this imbalance, which causes

their posture to become misaligned, increasing the possibility of putting unnecessary strain on their bodies. This is where the Wii Balance Board comes in.

Similar in appearance to a step aerobics board, the Wii Balance Board is much, much more. Easily capable of supporting weights up to a maximum of 300 pounds, it is sturdy and precise, able to measure weight and register pressure accurately when placed on a variety of flat surfaces. This advanced level of sensitivity allows for both the wide range of activities found in the Wii Fit software as well as the board's amazing ability recognize individual players by their weight alone.

Getting Started: Create a Profile Before you jump into doing exercises and activities, you’ll start by creating a profile. This is done easily and intuitively by simply choosing a Mii, entering your height and age information, and doing a few quick tests that will serve as a baseline for your new Wii fitness regimen. These tests are:

● BMI Check: BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that is the standard used by agencies such as the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health. To check your BMI, you’ll enter your height then stand on the Wii Balance Board and let it read your weight.

● Wii Fit Age: After you’ve checked your BMI, you’ll do a basic balance test and find out your current Wii Fit Age. This basic balance test measures how well you can control your left and right balance. Based on the results, you’ll be assigned a Wii Fit Age.

Four Categories of Fun Once you have created your profile it's time to have some fun. Wii Fit features four main categories of exercises to choose from: Strength Training, Aerobics, Yoga and Balance Games. Wii Fit will guide you through the first three with the help of your own virtual personal trainer, while the balance games offer variety and fun to help keep you engaged and excited about your fitness goals. In addition, as you spend time exercising, you’ll earn Fit Credits that unlock additional exercises and activities within your favorite categories that will allow you to continue to push yourself. See more detail on the four categories below:

● Strength Training: Put your strength to the test with muscle-toning exercises like Single Leg Extension, Sideways Leg Lift, Arm and Leg Lift, Single-Arm Stand, Torso Twists, Rowing Squat, Single Leg Twist, Lunge, Push-Up and Side Plank, Jackknife, Plank and Tricep Extension. Challenges include Push-Up Challenge, Plank Challenge and Jackknife Challenge.

● Aerobics: Get your heart pumping with fun, interactive Aerobic exercises like Hula Hoop, Basic Step, Basic Run, Super Hula Hoop, Advanced Step, 2-P Run, Rhythm Boxing, Free Step and Free Run.

● Yoga: Work on your balance and flexibility with Yoga poses and activities like Deep Breathing, Half-Moon, Dance, Cobra, Bridge, Spinal Twist, Shoulder Stand, Warrior, Tree, Sun Salutation, Standing Knee, Palm Tree, Chair, Triangle and Downward-Facing Dog.

● Balance Games: Get into the action with fun, balanced-based games like Soccer Heading, Ski Slalom, Ski Jump, Table Tilt, Tightrope Walk, Balance Bubble, Penguin Slide, Snowboard Slalom and Lotus Focus.

Keep Track of Your Progress Because keeping fit is an ongoing process, Wii Fit also tracks the activities you do the most and puts them into your Favorites category. With this information players can note exercises and activities that they are strong in, as well as others that may need to improve at. Some of the ways players can use this information for are to:

● Keep tabs on your daily progress with easy-to-understand graphs and charts. Using your personal profile, you can set goals, view a graph of your BMI results over time, see how many Fit Credits you’ve earned, check your Wii Fit Age and even enter exercise time you’ve done outside of Wii Fit. It’s all about coming back and exercising a little every day, and the personal profile makes tracking your daily progress simple and easy.

● Quickly check your Wii Fit Age and BMI without even putting the game in the console by going directly to the Wii Fit Channel.

● Allow up to eight family members can create their own profiles in Wii Fit. On the profile-selection screen, everyone in the family can see each other’s recent BMI progress and Fit Credit total. This will allow families to have a friendly competition to exercise and get fit.

Variety, fun and progress tracking; Wii Fit has it all. So, Wii owners if you ready to reclaim your balance and get fit all you need is Wii Fit, a few minutes a day to play and the urge to have fun. Get on board today.

We love our Wii Fit! Wii Fit is awesome. It's the only "video game" I have ever purchased for my kids because I prefer kids to play outside instead of playing video games. But this is awesome - great for all ages, fun, and really motivates you.

Amazon.ca Product Description

One of the biggest names in boxing returns after a 15-year hiatus. In Punch-Out!! you play as young up-and-coming fighter Little Mac who, with the help of his ringside trainer Doc Lewis, is working his way through the ranks of a wide variety of boxing caricatures, each with their own patterns of attacks. Grab a Wii Remote controller in one hand and a Nunchuk controller in the other and step back into the ring with a modern update of the classic Punch-Out!!

Tune your skills in early rounds.

Little Mac Is Back Everyone’s favorite underdog from the 1980s joins the best of the original Punch-Out!! cast in a modern re-imagining of the series. Players will find familiar names like Glass Joe, King Hippo and trainer Doc Louis. These boxers come to life again in cell-shaded 3-D,

complete with hilarious fighting animations and backstories that capture all the fun and flair of the original Punch-Out!! games.

The Wii's Motion Sensitivity The motion-sensitive controls of the Wii console mean that when players throw punches, Little Mac throws punches as well. Additionally, you can control hooks and jabs by combining motion control with control-stick movement. The motion-sensing Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers turn real-life swings into on-screen punches, so anyone can play. The game can also be played with classic NES-style controls by turning the Wii Remote sideways.

Characters Punch-Out!! features a total of 13 opponents for Little Mac to step into the ring with. 12 of which are returning from previous games in the Punch-Out!! series. Each have their own backstory and patterns of attacks to learn and learn to counter. Just a few of the characters you can expect to see are:

Little Mac Small but extremely game, Little Mac is a young, up-and-coming fighter, who with the help of his trainer, ex-champion Doc Lewis, has set his sights on working his way through the ranks.

Glass Joe A fearful French fighter due to his extremely weak chin, Glass Joe will crumple to the mat quickly with just a few well-placed shots, making him an easy mark and a good warm-up for the fighters to follow.

King Hippo King Hippo is both huge and an immensely powerful fighter, but can be weakened with the right combinations to the head and body, giving you time to go for the knockout if you can survive his onslaught.

Von Kaiser An old-timey fighter whose rumored childhood difficulties have left him eager to dish out punishment in the ring, Von Kaiser is a dangerous opponent, but one who will turn tail if you can find his weakness.

Special Attacks Players can obtain special 'Star Punches,' which allow Little Mac to take more health from his rival in a single punch. Players can now use multiple stars in a single punch for an extra-powerful attack.

Controller Options Punch-Out!! features multiple controller options. For players looking to take advantage of the Wii's motion control capabilities, Punch-Out!! uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers to simulate throwing punches. Use the Nunchuck to throw a left punch and the Wii Remote to throw a right punch. Fans of the NES version and core gamers will be excited to see Nintendo has also included the option to play Punch-Out!! using the classic layout from the original NES controller. Use the 1 and 2 buttons along with the cross pad to throw hooks and jabs or to dodge.

From game developer Sucker Punch, creators of the award-winning Sly Cooper series, and publisher Sony comes inFAMOUS. The first open-world title exclusively for the PlayStation 3, infamous is a single player action/adventure that places you in the role of once regular guy, Cole, who in the aftermath of a horrific catastrophe finds himself not only alive, but developing a fantastic array of superpowers. Going from ordinary to extraordinary overnight isn't something to take lightly. With these powers does one exact revenge? Protect the innocent? Or perhaps, dabble in a little of both? The choice is yours in infamous

Story Empire City was a run of the mill metropolis, until one day a massive explosion rips through six square blocks of its bustling downtown real-

estate, seemingly leveling everything and everyone in its path. Yet after the dust had cleared, at the center of the blast crater is a lone man, Cole. He is in a coma, but has survived the event and neither he nor the world will ever be the same.

An everyday guy doing his best to make ends meet, Cole had been a bike messenger. Just before the blast he had been sent to ground zero to deliver a package. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, he awakes to find that somehow he has gained strange electrical powers. Empire City is in shambles though. Riots have erupted, breeding chaos and emboldening powerful criminal gangs hungry for power and profit. In the panic that follows the city is quarantined from the mainland, and television broadcasts packed with damning security camera footage link Cole to the scene of the explosion. Cole is now a wanted man, but his extraordinary electricity-based powers and perhaps a semblance of responsibility for the well-being of Empire City are growing. Who is really responsible for the blast though? As an evolving mystery unfolds, Cole must learn how to wield his newfound powers as he searches for the real culprits behind the blast in an attempt to rescue Empire City from complete anarchy.

Gameplay Built around open-world gameplay where the player decides how to deal with both criminal gangs bent on destruction and devastated citizens who need help, action in infamous contains the standard mix of mission play, in which players are given specific goals and activities to meet, and free play scenarios, where you can wander Empire City doing what they will. In both, developing and learning to control Cole's electricity-based powers is crucial. Cole can not actually generate energy, so these powers are based on energy manipulation instead. This manipulation comes in three basic forms: discharge of energy at living or inanimate targets in either diffused or precise bursts; generation of energy shields used as protection against the weapons or special powers of enemies; and the infusion of objects with time-delayed destructive energy for use as grenades or mines. As impressive as these powers are they do have drawbacks though. Because electricity can cause combustion, Cole can not wield firearms and can be hurt by items he blows up. Also, like anything electrically driven, his abilities require a power source. In the damaged, but not destroyed Empire City, these sources can be found throughout the gameplay area, but players must note that certain actions drain energy faster than others and that enemies will become aware of your need of a power source as the game proceeds and accordingly attempt to destroy those sources.

This need for power also provides a major illustration of the game's morality system. As battles rage throughout the gameplay area and power sources become either scarce or destroyed, Cole is faced with the ethics of his 'bio-draw' ability. Through this he can harvest electrical energy from living organisms. This will provide the energy needed to survive in a pinch, but may also have consequences as to how the game develops over both the short and long-term. In addition to this, players will also face similar game-changing choices in dealing with more casual scenarios involving the citizens of Empire City. As well intentioned as a hero may be, in many cases he is just as likely to be hated as he is to be praised. Choice is the deciding factor in this, and that resides squarely on the shoulders of players in infamous

Key Game Features:

● Be a Hero - Take on the role of Cole, an everyday guy and urban explorer, who develops a wide range of electricity-based powers. Learn how to adapt to Cole’s evolving powers in an attempt to save Empire City and its people.

● Super Powers - Feel what it is like to discover, grow and use a wide range of electricity-based super powers (good or bad); and grasp the responsibility that comes from being so powerful.

● Epic Battles - Experience what it is like to be a true hero, taking responsibility for every action, as players battle against powerful iconic villains.

● Open Dynamic World - Coupling rich powers with a reactive environment and population, experience complete freedom to explore a deep, open interactive city. Players will be challenged to decide if they choose to save or destroy Empire City.

● Urban Exploration - Scale the cityscape to discover new vantage points and employ a vertical combat system. Utilize Cole’s climbing skills to go where most people can not, opening up a variety of offensive and defensive combat options.

● Organic City Ecology - Watch the citizens and city react and evolve depending on players’ actions. Events will unfold based on the role players take in them, creating broader reactions in the city’s people and environment.

Customer Reviews

Too expensive Checked amazon to see if they had a decent price on this after some good luck with world at war and little big planet, but $66.99 is no deal. Straight up rip off, and the industry wonders why people mod their machines.

Redonkulous I tell you!! First off, this is not a review of the game just my opinion on the price point and the number of stars I have given it reflect that opinion. The pricing on this and other new games at $69.99 is straight up redonkulous. I don't care how good of a game it is no title, PS3 or otherwise, is worth this much in my opinion (except maybe COD4...mmm, COD4 *drools slightly*). Save your money until it's at least on sale back at $59.99 to show Amazon and other companies that we're not gonna take it!...SING IT!! peace

overpriced this game is GREAT!! u should go pre-order this game now! i got an early access to the game and its AMAZING!! just too bad that in canada the price is $69.99 and in the U.S.A the price is $59.99 so in canada its overpriced. but if you find InFamous for $59.99 you should go and buy it right away!

Customer Reviews

No Crappy DRM please The only way that I am going to get this is if there isn't the same DRM that BSODs my system when I try to start up Spore! Other wise I will do what some of my friends did with spore. And what I ended up doing to my PURCHASED copy of spore, I had to crack it... get that, the only way I could get it to run was by cracking the game I PURCHASED. Which brings me to the main point DRM doesn't work. The cracking people had the DRM cracked as soon as it came out. EA... We aren't all thieves so please don't treat us like it.

Nintendo Wii includes Wii Sports From Nintendo

Product Description

Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we") brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system's evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles.

Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #10 in Computer & Video Games ● Brand: Nintendo of Canada● Model: NINTENDO● Released on: 2006-11-19● Platform: Nintendo Wii● Dimensions: 4.50" h x 10.00" w x 15.00" l, 7.50 pounds

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Nintendo's Wii video game system (pronounced "we") is designed to attract people, regardless of their age or video game experience, to sit down and play together--whether they're in the same room or on different sides of the globe. The system's name reflects this simple idea. It's easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and the distinctive spelling suggests two players side by side. The two Wii features Nintendo thinks will create new levels of gaming community are built-in Wi-Fi access, supported by a new online gaming service, and Wii's intuitive, wireless, motion-sensitive game controller.

As with every new console release, much of the buzz surrounds the specs. The system boasts 512 MB of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. Wii's technological heart -- a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway" and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named "Hollywood" -- are said to deliver stunning performance. Instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs.

The real revolution in this system, though, is its controller, called the Wii Remote. Shaped like a TV remote, it's been designed to be easily used by beginners and pros alike. Sensors determine the Wii Remote's position is in 3-D space, which means that racing-game steering and a tennis swing, for example, are done through movements of your hand rather than by just your thumbs. What's more, a tiny speaker built into the Wii Remote promises some interactive surround sound experiences. The controller also has a force feedback "Rumble" feature and an expansion port for use with accessories, such as the Nunchuck, which adds an analog thumbstick and trigger buttons. An adapter that fits over the Wii's remote will be available for those who prefer the feel of a traditional controller. The Wii Remote communicates via the Bluetooth wireless standard. Up to four remotes can connect to Wii.

An Outstanding Games Launch Line-up

Each Wii will come with a game compilation called "Wii Sports," including tennis, golf, baseball and bowling games, that will show off the console's intuitive new controller. In addition to this, at least thirty titles are scheduled for release in U.S. by year's end; about half of that by launch. They are estimated to list at $49.99. Launch games include:

● The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ● Excite Truck ● Trauma Center: Second Opinion ● Madden NFL 07 ● Need for Speed: Carbon ● Elebits ● Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz ● Metal Slug Anthology ● Rayman: Raving Rabids ● Red Steel

Wii also offers superb backward compatibility -- the cornerstone of Nintendo's all-access approach. This new console will play fan-favorite games from Nintendo's 20-year-old library. The drive is compatible with GameCube discs, and select Nintendo titles from the original NES of the 1980s all the way through the Nintendo 64 will be available through for download through the "Virtual Console" for $5 and $10 respectively. To support the backwards compatibility the Wii includes four ports for classic Nintendo GameCube controllers and two slots for Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards. As if that weren't enough, the Virtual Console will also make available a few titles from SNES console contemporaries, Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx 16.

A number of Wi-Fi-enabled titles are in development that will employ Nintendo's newly-announced wireless gaming service, WiiConnect24. This worldwide network promises Nintendo players a comfortable, inviting environment in which they can gather and compete. The always-on network will deliver game updates and surprises, even when the Wii is powered down. And as you would expect, Wii will be able to communicate with the Nintendo DS mobile gaming system wirelessly.

Customer Reviews

eexcellent Just opened it...used it twice.....I am over sixty and found it very useful to follow the fun at my own pace in my own place.....this is a wonderful product...Thanks

Great Concept! This console is absolutely great!. I own a elite pc and a ps3 and i'm keen on graphical power but with the Wii you soon forget this because of the innovative design. I don't spend as much time with the Wii in comparison to my other systems but non the less the Wii is a unique concept that freshens gameplay elements. I still recommend hardcore gamers to give it a try.

wii wii I like it, but admitedly I get bored after a little while and I think its because I'm suspect that the game dosen't match reality. For example, will I improve my golf swing playing this game. But perhaps I'm expecting too much; moreover I'd like it even more if it had hockey.

Customer Reviews

ok ok works as expected. playing resistance 2 right now. not much of a positive effect in it since shooting all the time so its vibrating all the time. got used to the vibration quickly. hope battery holds up as well as the normal controller.

Does exactly what it needs to If you've ever used a PS or PS2 controller, you pretty much know what to expect from this version. While not the most interesting controller out there, it gets the job done. The build quality is great, and the battery life hasn't been an issue for me, even when playing games with lots of rumble. Not much else to say about this product, but definitely worth picking up over the regular sixaxis controller.

WOW. Firstly, I must say that I am very pleased with the time it took the controller to get here. The item was shipped on Friday, and arrived on Monday. I guess Mississauga to Port Colborne isn't a huge distance, however, when I ordered The Orange Box from Amazon, it took 3 days. 1 day, with super saver shipping for the controller. Very pleased indeed. :) As for the controller, it's basically the regular SixAxis PS3 controller with a vibration function included. It's a little heavier then the regular controller. Other than that, not much difference. The rumble (which I have missed since PS2's days) adds what was missing from some already great PS3 games. I will be playing Metal Gear Solid 4 through again just to see how different it feels playing with rumble enabled. Looks like Sony finally saw their mistake. Please don't do it again. Keep the controllers just the way they are.

Customer Reviews

Worth a try and a pretty decent workout I've only tried this for a couple of days, but it definitely has a good workout. Set up of this game takes nearly half an hour with spots to input body measurements and then tests of your strength and flexibility. The exercises are good and progress quite naturally. You can pause for a tutorial at any point if you are not sure about the proper way to perform a move or exercise. As a word of warning, though, if you have knee problems, I have come across a few exercises that put strain on my own knees and it isn't really easy to modify the game to eliminate those. Overall, I have no problems or real complaints with this.

Customer Reviews

Okay So, I think it's been fully established that this game is not as fun as, say, Wii Sports, but it's okay. I knew that this game wasn't great, but I purchased it anyway for a number of reasons. I wanted a second controller so that my husband and I could play but I knew that I couldn't purchase both a new controller and a new game. While this game isn't fantastic, it's still a second game and it basically comes free with a controller. I figured, why not purchase this game along with the remote? My husband and I have been playing the fishing game a lot and I think the cow racing is so cute.

Not a very good game The biggest advantage of buying this game is that it comes with a Wiimote. The games are not good and I don't like the fact that you have to play a game to unlock the next. If the remote had not come with the package I would be very upset with the quality and fun of this game. Wii Sports is MUCH better.

Well worth the money! Good selection of games for those a little less active. Purchased this for a senior with Alzheimers and limited mobility, who enjoyed playing games like shuffleboard, pool, billiards, etc., while still in good health. Now finds Wii Play easy to learn, as distant memories of the original games are revived. Surprisingly, the grandchildren also find the games interesting, as they are (usually) more into Wii Fit and Wii Sports. Wii Play has proven to be an an excellent multi-generational game for our family. Getting the free Wii Remote with it makes this a super deal!Nintendo Wii Play with Wii Remote

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.ca Product Description When it comes to music and rhythm games, Wii Music stands in a class of its own. Unlike other music games, which penalize players if they don't play perfectly, Wii Music is a musical playground where there are no mistakes. Here anyone can pick up and master the huge array of instruments available, through simple motions like strumming and drumming. Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart's content. Play faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music.

Gameplay: Getting Your Band Together In Wii Music every band has six members: Two play the main melody, two cover the percussion beats, one covers the bass groove and one uses the song's chords to support the

melody. As a band, the six members often play their special parts at the same time, though each player can jam however and whenever he or she wants. Play all at once. Take turns in the spotlight. Pair up in creative ways throughout the song. You can bring the band to life by yourself, playing one part at a time-or with up to four players. See game mode below:

● Solo Play: When you play by yourself, you can add one part at a time to arrange the whole song exactly how you want. The Tutes are on hand to back up your band in any parts you need filled.

● Multiplayer: When in a band with friends, up to four people can be band members.

● Wii Friends: Using WiiConnect24, you can send your jam videos to Wii Friends who own Wii Music. They can then watch your performance, modify it to their liking and send their jam videos back to you.

Tutes: Your Own Private Back-up Band When not playing with friends, you can invite jam masters known as Tutes to play with you. They'll join a session playing an instrument that each thinks is strong for a specific song. You can simply enjoy the musical camaraderie, or pick up instrument tips by watching them jam. If you choose to watch, the Tutes will show you lots of techniques for many of these instruments, then ask you to follow their examples. They'll start with the simplest techniques, then as you master each one, show you even more nuanced ones.

Key Game Features:

● Easy to Play Improv Jams - All members of your band jam by simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart's content. Play faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. Wii Music challenges you to transform your improv stylings into great music. There are no mistakes and no game scores-just playing for the pure joy of playing.

● Wii Controls Immerse You in the Music - You can play most of the 60-plus instruments in Wii Music using simple motions with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. Strum to play guitar, banjo and sitar. Drum to play jazz drums, congas and snare drums. Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone and marimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music doesn't make you use many complex buttons. You only need to imitate playing the instrument.

● Virtually Endless Ways to Make Music - You choose the song and instruments and decide whether to blaze through a rock take on classical songs, put a jazzy spin on folk tunes or transform Nintendo classics like the Super Mario Bros. theme into Latin-flavored numbers. The song list is only a takeoff point-it's how you improvise with the songs that matters.

● Share Your Band Jams With Friends - They'll see your Mii band members, your players' improv styles and your instrument selections. They can watch your recordings, or play over parts of your song, then send their modified recording back to you. So you can send improv jams back and forth over WiiConnect24, changing them again and again.

60+ Instruments You can play most of the 60-plus instruments in Wii Music using simple motions with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. Strum to play guitar, banjo and sitar. Drum to play jazz drums, congas and marching drums. Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone and marimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music doesn't make you use complex buttons. You only need to imitate playing the instrument. Wii Music offers virtually endless ways to make music.

Fun Beyond the Jam Designed with classic Wii gameplay in mind, Wii Music includes many other modes and play options besides the main band jams, including several musical games and an enhanced video playback mode for recorded jams.

● Videos Mode: Watch your jam videos in an enhanced playback mode that brings your jams to life with fun environmental effects and dramatic camera angles.

● Mii Maestro: By waving the Wii Remote like a conductor's baton in this mini-game, you'll lead a Mii orchestra through orchestrated songs, such as The Legend of Zelda theme. Make them play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently-the orchestra is at your command.

● Handbell Harmony: In this musical mini-game, you'll play in a handbell ensemble by swinging your Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Everyone on the team has a job to do: play one of your notes only when the tune demands it.

● Pitch Perfect: How good is your musical ear? In this whimsical musical quiz, you'll have to solve challenges, like putting note-playing Miis in order from lowest to highest pitch.

● Drum Mode: In the one mode that uses the Wii Balance Board accessory (sold with Wii Fit), you can feel what it's like to play a real-life drum set. You'll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance Board-which work as virtual pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal.

Customer Reviews

A good start to something smart This is a pretty fun way to pass the time on a rainy day. At least it's better than blasting the entrails out of a heavily armed enemy. Some rudiments of music can be explored and maybe some day this kind of program will lead young people to take up music in a more serious manner.

Entertaining concept The game was purchased as a family gift for Christmas. Played with it for a few days and it's been once in a while since. Our kids (two boys 9 and 11) don't seem too excited about it. But that's just us.

A game that is either as complex or as simple as you want it to be.

You've all seen how you manipulate the instruments using the Wii Remote, Nunchuck, and perhaps balance board in Wii Music. With regards to how to interact with the game, some instruments perform better than others. Those that require moving the remote/nunchuck have reasonable response with a bit of lag, those that use buttons work very well, and IMHO the balance board is so delayed that it's pretty much useless. What no-one knows at this time, however, is how truly deep this game is. That is, how many layers of notes has Nintendo provided in here in order to allow you to improvise and create music of your own. My experience with this is mixed thus far, but I've only had the game for a few days. This is a question that will truly only be answered over years, not days. I have, however, discovered that you will only get out of this game what you put into it. IMHO, the complexity in this game comes from trying to improvise something new that "works" aesthetically. This is a hard thing to do - but not nearly as hard as studying jazz for 10 years in order to improvise. You have to find the lines in the music and work with them to create your song. I have a running challenge on one review website right now to beat my improv jam... it's a hard thing to do - and anyone that thinks this game is simple should try doing this and decide for themselves. Only time will tell, however, how deep the improvisation really is. So far, though, I've been very impressed.

Customer Reviews

Wow what a game! I love love love this game!!! its great for the entire family! i play this game with my 5 year old and we have a blast every time! A+++++ :)

Mario Kart Lives On!!! Mario Kart for the Wii is an awesome title! If you like racing games with a battle twist, you will enjoy Mario Kart for the Wii. It has awesome controls that you can pick up almost instantly (while still leaving room to learn some new tricks) along with awesome graphics that will warp your mind if you don't pay attention to what you are doing. If you find yourself in the front of the pack often, prepare for a pounding from a storm of items such as the blue shell, POW blocks, lightning clouds and the such. It makes it quite difficult to keep the lead. Adding Bikes offers a bit of a new twist to the franchise. Unlocking new characters and karts/bikes can prove to be challenging and fun. The various ghosts you can race against provide a serious challenge to those who like to master the games they own, but are a fun challenge none-the-less. However, trying to figure out how to work through all the options can be more challenging than the races themselves. The biggest disappointment for me was the battle arenas. You can only play on teams with massive amounts of other opponents. When you are first getting used to the battle arenas, prepare to lose a lot as the computer controlled opponents are frustratingly good. While I don't really like some of the tracks from the older titles, the racing element to the game is awesome and extremely addictive. You'll be using the controller like a steering wheel until you start shaking it to do some awesome air stunts. Or you can use different controler configuraions depending on what you like (such as using the contorller with out the wheel, using it with the nunchuck, or using an old Game Cube controller). Awesome game!

"Wii's Mario Kart" Every Generation of Nintendo gamers has its own Mario Kart game,now since 2008 so does the Wii.The serie first started with "Super Mario Kart" on the SNES followed by "Mario Kart 64" for N64 and "Mario Kart:Double Dash" for Gamecube,Nintendo also released portable versions for the Gameboy Advance and th DS.In their own way of them each brought something different to the table.I enjoyed all of them but the Wii version brings something totally different,playing with a wheel is something tat was done before,but inserting the Wii controller in the wheel makes the playing so natural.The fact that you get the wheel with the game for the same price as any new Wii game makes it even more worth it. After the Gamecube version wich had 2 players on the same kart,they decided to come back to the original each player for itself game.It's probably better that way,not everyone liked the idea of having two players on the same kart.This time around you get the Wii wheel wich is really fun,lots of new maps,and more of the same old mario kart you love with battle mode(with new and classic levels),classic races.You also get more vehicles,I especially like that you get to ride dirtbikes and other things than karts,it adds another dimension to the game and it's great to do tricks!Another cool thing is that you can play as you miis in the game!You can see yourself race against mario and co. Great!But if I don't like the wheel?Well you can always play with the Wiimote,Wiimote and nunchuk,the classic controller or even a Gamecube controller.The game has lots of options for you,wich is always great to have you never want to feel limited.The graphics for Mario Kart Wii look very good considering it's a Wii game.What's great about the game is that everybody can have fun with it,player old and new will all enjoy it,it's almost sure.The old maps look as better than ever(it's gnice that that the newbies can enjoy those maps and see what Mario Kart was back then)and the new ones are just as fun to play.Those new levels are certainly creative and are all fun to play,I especially enjoy the DK apps,but all are fun really. I was amazed when I found a copy left at my local game store seeing how popular it was.I can say that after owning the game for a few months now that it was well worth it.You can't go wrong with Mario Kart Wii,it will keep you and everyone around entertained!There are so many things to do and the multiplayer is great.With a wheel included I'd say it's a worthy game,I suggest getting more wheels as everyone will want to play one.The only thing I don't like about the game is the difficulty of unlocking things as you have to play alone to unlock them and they can take lots of time too.All in all it's a must-have game if you own a Wii,it's one I bet you'll play for a long time.

Amazing game! This is the best game I've played in a long time and one of the best ones on the PS3. The art style and story is amazing. Easy to play and the story keeps you going. It is even fun to watch other people play it. I recommend it to all PS3 owners. With surround sound it's even more amazing because you can hear where the bullets are coming from and rustling in the bushes.

Best Strategy Game on the PS3 If you like strategy games, do yourself a favor, take a closer look at this game. The Demo that's available on the PSNetwork does not do a very good job of selling this game. To get a better perspective, go out and rent it, and put in a good few hours. You'll likely find the narrative unnerving at the start, and might skip through the rather lengthy script to get to the actual battles. But this game does grow on you; the story does, with its weird take on an alternative European history (it doesn't shy away from touchy issues, but deals with them in a sensitive, if a tad naive, way) and the game play gets deeper and more absorbing as you proceed through the campaign, with a lot of customization and unlockables. The advice I give you of renting this--probably bad advice; I myself liked it enough that I kept it past the return date and got charged for a second week. The game is good enough and long enough to justify a couple of weeks of rental, maybe even a buy.

One of the best PS3 games to date. This game is extremely amazing. It mixes the turn based strategy, RPG elements and 3rd person shooter gameplay all in one. And does it perfectly. It's gotten critical success in reviews, but sadly isn't doing as well as it deserves in the commercial department. Sega outdid themselves with this title. The visuals are beautiful, the gameplay is fluid and fun, the story is amazing. I recommend this to any RPG fan, any strategy fan and even 3rd person shooter fans. It's something different and unique. Which is wonderful in a industry full of the same old formulas in games.

Amazon.ca Product Description The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff is an expansion pack that requires the complete Sims 2 game in order to play. In The Sims 2, like The Sims before it, which quickly grew to be on of the most popular PC games of all time, you create one or more autonomous characters (sims) with distinct personalities and needs. You then create a virtual household for your sims, deciding whether they're roommates, spouses, or parents, and you move them into a pre- or custom-built house and neighborhood.

Turn your sims into dragons,

princesses, pirate captains, and

more with the new costumes. View

larger.

Add a whole new selection of

furniture, clothing, and home

decor to your Sims 2 characters'

world. View larger.

Your sims will interact with each other and other sims in their community, with children going to school while the adults head to work. The Sims 2, however, has several new options, such as an enhanced neighborhood editor that lets you import custom cities from Maxis' own SimCity 4 (not included), and expanded building options for building bigger houses.

The most significant additions in The Sims 2 are the behavioral and character enhancements made to the sims themselves. While sims still have specific personality types determined by their horoscopes and adjustable individual characteristics, such as neatness, niceness, and playfulness, they now have some notable new features, such as memories, genetics, aging, and the new aspiration/fear system. When creating a family, you can now have the game randomly generate children based on their parents' appearance and personality, though you can still edit these children. You can choose to re-create a real-life couple or family to see what kind of genes get handed down from generation to generation. Or you can experiment by interjecting the DNA from an alien into the family tree, as The Sims 2 includes the ability to create aliens from outer space and even marry them off to your more outlandish sims family members.

The Family Fun Stuff expansion pack lets you add a whole new selection of furniture, clothing, and home decor to your Sims 2 characters' world. The decor comes in several different themes, each of which is distinct and fantastic. With this expansion pack you can turn your sims' house into a fantasy castle, complete with four poster beds and tapestries, or decide to make them pirate-loving deck hands with a nautical theme. Costumes come with each theme, letting you turn your sims into dragons, princesses, pirate captains, and more. The furniture matches the theme, so you can add items such as a captain's desk or a complete underwater kids' bedroom set to your nautical theme. For those of you who can't get enough of the virtual sims world, The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff expansion pack will give you even more hours of fun, with 60 new items and costumes that give your virtual family a distinct look and character.

Customer Reviews

eh..... not the best, sure the themes are nice to have, but Maxis could have done better, a LOT better, usually they impress me with there games, but not a whole lot this time. :(.

Story In Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, what begins as an innocent childhood voyage of a boy accompanying his father on a journey soon develops into an eye-opening adventure of a brave young man traveling the world as he faces life-altering decisions that transcend generations. You - a hero in the

making - determine your own path, choose your wife, and befriend a wagonload of quirky monsters along the way. Indulge in the colorful Dragon Quest world created by Yuji Horii, combined with the charming characters and monsters designed by Akira Toriyama and memorable soundtrack from famed composer Koichi Sugiyama to create an unforgettable gaming experience.

Characters Although players will make the acquaintance of many characters and monsters throughout during their travels, here are just a few of the faces they can hope to see.

Young Hero (You) As a child you discover a world filled with bizarre creatures and fantastical realms while traveling with your father. The owner of a truly pure heart, you have an unusual affinity with monsters.

Pankraz Pankraz is your father, with whom you travel with as a boy. He has a hardened look and a talent for magic. What is the purpose of his quest? There is more to Pankraz than meets the eye.

Young Bianca You meet young Bianca in the town of Roundbeck while traveling with your father. Bianca is one of your oldest friends and has an animated personality overflowing with curiosity.

Great Sabrecub Saved from the hands of the town bullies as a cub by you (The Hero), this great sabrecub travels and fights by your side during his youth and will mature along with you.

Gameplay Although Hand of the Heavenly Bride is based in standard turn-based RPG gameplay mechanics like character leveling through with increased experience points and armor and weapon equipping for use in combat, it does add something new to the Dragon Quest series, monster taming. Throughout your quests you will encounter monsters both known and new to the Dragon Quest universe. Once tamed, these can join your party, level up just like your other party members and provide valuable aid in combat.

Key Game Features:

● Journey through a beautifully rendered 3D world, with dynamic dual-screen presentation and newly animated monsters.

● Recruit a unique cast of Dragon Quest monsters and create an indestructible party of your own.

● Brace yourself for some life-altering decision making - a key decision will affect the outcome of the game, and change the course of the hero's life forever.

● Take a breather from the main quest with addicting mini-games like Bruise the Ooze, T 'n' T, the Slurpodrome, and the Tombola.

● Collect and customize knick-knacks from around the Dragon Quest world to create a personalized knick-knackatory.

● Use the wireless capabilities of Nintendo DS to exchange in-game creations and one-of-a-kind collection of rare items with friends.

Story A.D 2064...Planet Earth was on the brink of destruction as clashes between the World Republic Federation and the various nations that opposed it

sparked the outbreak of World War III. Weapons of mass destruction, deployed with complete impunity razed the land in the blink of an eye. The dire situation forced the two opposing factions to negotiate a cease-fire and an agreement was quickly reached, but although the war may have ended, its effects remained. With the deteriorating environment, Earth's population was drastically reduced and those who survived lived a confined existence trapped in underground cities. Eventually countries joined together to form the Greater United Nations and turned their eyes skyward, to space. With the establishment of the USTA, the Universal Science and Technology Administration, man began to seek new worlds beyond the stars.

AD 2087...The first year of the spacedate (SD) calendar. Thanks to the success of Professor Trillas Bachstein's warp drive experiments, mankind's dream of a spacebourne existence has inched closer to reality and the USTA secretly began to implement its SRF project, the Space Reconnaissance Force. Now it is SD 0010, and the first official SRF mission and your adventure has begun.

Characters Players of Star Ocean: The Last Hope will meet and interact with a wealth of characters from different parts of the galaxy, each with their own history and weapons of choice. Just a few of the more prominent characters to familiarize yourself with include:

Edge Maverick Although generally possessing good judgment, this young Earthling commander of the maiden deep space voyage of the SRF ship the Calnus, can be reckless. His signature weapon is the sword.

Faize Sheifa Beleth A young Eldarian committed to etiquette and logic, and capable of astounding feats of engineering, Faize is always honorable of those possessing abilities he lacks. His signature weapon is the rapier.

Reimi Saionji The kind and levelheaded navigator of the Calnus, Reimi was born in an aristocratic Saionji family and has a shared history with Edge back on Earth. Her signature weapon is the bow.

Lymle Lemuri Phi Orphaned on her home planet of Lemrick long ago, Lymle is mischievous, but friendly and inexplicably retains the appearance of a young girl. Her signature weapon is the wand.

Gameplay and Combat Although Edge Maverick is the main character in Star Ocean: The Last Hope, players will of course experience gameplay action in the form of a number of different characters and utilize the signature attacks assigned to each. The game features a real-time combat system which allows for up to four party members to remain active in battle at a time. Improvements to the game's combat system include 'Rush Mode,' where players can switch out active members of their combat groups for reserve members in real-time; 'Sight In/Sight Out' which allows for timed evasive and counter moves against enemies; and the BEAT (Battle Enhancement Attribute Type) system, through which players can change a character's fighting style at will. Other actions players will master through gameplay include piloting of the spaceship Calnus, a first in the Star Ocean series; item creation in the form of weapons, healing items and accessories; and Private Actions (PAs), a cause and effect relationship between character in-game actions and the acquisition of new abilities and scenarios. Through the increased flexibility mastery of all these skills provides, players should be able to more easily increase their team and individual team member's combat experience and status, and so unlock more advanced combat styles and linked combinations.

Key Game Features:

● Series prequel - Star Ocean: The Last Hope is a prequel in the classic series, combining sci-fi and fantasy elements, spanning multiple planets and the vastness of space itself to recount the origins of the Star Ocean universe.

● Exciting Battles - Exhilarating combat expands upon the franchise's famous real-time battle system, including the amazing graphics and visual effects only possible on Xbox 360.

● Compelling Scenes - The game features breathtaking CG movies by Visual Works, the cutting-edge studio whose previous work includes cutscenes for the acclaimed Final Fantasy RPG series.

Customer Reviews

Great Battle-Horrible Story I was a huge fan of Star Ocean 3. Naturally, I had extremely high hopes for Star Ocean 4 with its beautiful graphics and improved battle system. Unfortunately the game was a disappointment. But before I get bashed a gazillion times from angry fanboys/girls. I still ENJOY it. I'm still absolutely addicted to it. The battle system is amazing. Few action RPGs can have a battle system with the same depth as that of Star ocean 4. There is so much you can do, so much you can customize and so many strategies possible. The disappointment with the game is the story. Of course, I won't spoil anything here...but it's worse than just a mass of cliches. Some cutscenes actually make me cringe inside or have a strong urge to punch a certain character in the game. The cut scenes themselves are horribly done. Some of them are just ridiculously long. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE cutscenes normally, but...when they're forty minutes long... My final complaint would be with save spots. They are spaced out extremely unevenly. While in some towns, there are two save spots a few minutes apart, in some dungeons there are two save spots located a FULL HOUR apart. So in conclusion: Star ocean 4 is a good game with an amazing battle system. But the cutscenes and save spot spacing ruined it for me. that doesn't mean I don't love it though (: so yeah~ hope this was helpful

Worth a Few Stars Star Ocean, has been released for the 360, and it is a pretty solid game. This is the prequel to all other Star Ocean games, and is supposed the last in the series. Which is a shame, I'm really enjoying this game, and I would've loved to see more done perhaps re-release of the entire franchise to the new consoles. In this Star Ocean the main character is Edge Maverick, I guess names were last on the list, the player is a member of the SRF, and one of the first humans to be a part of the human space colonization on the heels of WWIII. The game has a very nice presentation to it, with a minimum of loading involved and for the most part the glitches aren't that horrible asides some slow downs and collision detection, but overall the game is very, very pretty. The musical score is great, with sweeping orchestral scores which adds to the epic feel of the game and brings some added tension to certain situations, which is needed in this game. And there is my one gripe to this game, while it does the whole JRPG thing right, and regurgitates an old story in a good way, there is a disconnect between the player and character. I found myself not being interested in the least in the characters and their relationships. Mostly because this game doesn't create an evolving kinship between the characters like Tales of Vesperia did. It was a small thing to have the dialogue boxes pop up in Tales with little tid-bits about the characters, but it was effective in conveying that the characters all had a story. Star Ocean while having times where the characters have personal time, they just don't come off as likeable or interesting, making situations where the main character has that usual hissy fit not as poingant. Example, not a spoiler, Edge is responsible for the utter destruction of a planet, and while this is something that might make the character go nuts and really question their own motives, the whole scene was ruined by the fact that the main character isn't that interesting to begin with, so the fit he did have was greatly difused. I haven't felt any connection with the characters, well Bacchus is pretty fun. Star Ocean falls victim to annoying characters and really poor dialogue. Poor characters and dialogue aside, Star Ocean is still a great game, just on its face. The game does nothing wrong, and technically is strong, with pretty presentation, nice music, and some solid battle animations, and it has a lot do to in the game, with the trophies, yes trophies, not the PS3 variety, but in-game trophies on top of the achievements, lots of hording, item creation, the usual fetch quest that are well implemented. Overall, Star Ocean, is a great game, great in all the important parts except for characters and storyline. This game would've of gotten those two stars if more work was done the emmersion of the player in relation to creating likeable and vibrant characters, opting for a more heavy handed use of emotions, but hey I'm still enjoying this game, but more as a fan of role-playing games, this game will not interest anyone who isn't a fan of the genre or franchise. I good game, but with a few poor choices as far as script is concerned.

Customer Reviews

Filling in the blanks This product's information is really lacking, so I'll fill you in on my experiences with it. I own two of these Quick Charge Kits and have four Battery Packs, one for each of my controllers. The Quick Charge Kit comes with one battery pack, not two as shown in the picture. It can recharge two battery packs simultaneously. For this reason I highly recommend buying a second Xbox 360 Rechargeable Controller Battery Pack with the Quick Charge Kit because you will never need to buy batteries for your 360 controller again; when the Battery Pack dies in the controller you're using, simply swap it with the second Battery Pack in the Quick Charger. One, at least, will always be charging for you. Both the Battery Pack and the Quick Charge Kit are Microsoft products. The Battery Pack fits perfectly into and is the same color as a white controller; it feels and looks like a natural part of it. There are also Battery Packs available in black for the Elite controllers. That said, DO NOT buy the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit. While it too is an official Microsoft Product, and it too comes with a Battery Pack, it is the most inconvenient method of charging your Battery Pack imaginable. Your system must be on and your controller must be plugged into the 360's USB port for the Battery Pack to charge. The cord from system to controller is inconveniently short and transforms your formerly beautiful wireless controller, into another piece of equipment tethered to its console. The Quick Charge Kit is a much better offering. The Quick Charge kit plugs into any electrical outlet around the house, charges a dead Battery Pack in less than two hours, and each Battery Pack will offer up to twenty-five hours of game play. This is a must-have for anyone with an Xbox 360; it will save you on battery costs in the long run.

Customer Reviews

Damn expensive... Not much I can say that you don't already know. It comes with the transfer cable unlike the 60gig version, and is simple to set up. Transfer takes about an hour to do. Price is insane but beggars can't be choosers. Needed this for the new Fallout 3 DLC.

Best you can get This is the largest drive you can presently get. Futureshop/BestBuy are only selling the 60GB HDD now for $110. Half the capacity for $40 less. Get the bigger drive. I must agree with the previous post that for the capacity it is over-priced.

Xbox 360 120 GB Hard Drive Got this for my son for Xmas and he's very pleased with it. Amazon's price was excellent and the item was delivered within 3 days. Excellent service and product.

Have fun and get fit This game is so fun, you dont even think you're exercising until you realize you're out of breath! Great to play alone, or even more fun when you compete against others. Definitely worth buying. Easy to understand instructions for each game.

Awesome game I purchased this game on a recommendation and wanted something that would get the players physically active. The challeges are fun and the instructions are easy for all participants. If you enjoy the Wii Fit, this game provides great cardio and physical workouts through various options ie. Full body exercises, five minute hard/easy exercises, upper body etc. while having fun at the same time. It also has challenges and activities that require team work or if you are competitive you can challenge a friend and see who completes the challenge first. Overall, a great game.

It is not a couch potato game It was a present for my nephew and nice (6 years old) and after we explain how to play they have a blast playing it, some of the games are not for their age, so we make teams 1 adult and 1 child so it was easier for them to play and good excuse for us to play too. We played for long time and next day I awake with my body in pain. So my advice is play it with moderation.

Nintendo Wii Nunchuk Controller From Nintendo






Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #26 in Computer & Video Games ● Brand: Nintendo of Canada● Model: Nunchuck Controller● Released on: 2006-11-19● Platform: Nintendo Wii● Dimensions: .39" h x .39" w x .39" l, 2.00 pounds

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.

Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,

The Wii Nunchuk (left) connects

directly to the Wii remote. View

larger.

the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.

Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.

Take the fun to the next level with two-

handed control of your games. View

larger.

In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.

Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.

Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.

Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers.

Customer Reviews

Look into it before you buy a game I had to get this for the Umbrella Chronicles but I found myself using it for Wii sports more often. (Need it for boxing.) Without a nunchuck your future choices of games will be quite limited but it doesn't mean you can't play anything without it. Check if the game you want to buy requires it before the purchase. Unless you have a specific game in mind, there's no need to buy it "just in case." My only complaint so far about the nunchuck is that sometimes its recognition works very poorly. I got one from Amazon and I had to raise my arm up in the air to punch straight when boxing. It may be worth to buy it from somewhere convenient for you to return it should it function badly.

Worth the extra couple of dollars My husband and I got the Nintendo nunchuck with our Wii, but wanted another nunchuck, so we purchased the "playchuck" by icon...we've purchased the wired and wireless of the icon and had nothing but problems. If you're wondering if there's a difference between the playchuck, as it is a couple of dollars cheaper...there's a huge difference! The Nintendo nunchuck is definitly built a lot better and worth the extra money!

Essential Accessory - Nunchuk This is a MUST HAVE accessory to fully enjoy the wonders of "Wii". You will require one "Nunchuk" for each "Remote" - for each player. Have fun!

Imagine a World with no Limits

Imagine a world that's yours to shape, build and explore. Imagine the possibilities, then jump head first into the reality. LittleBigPlanet puts the power of absolute creation into your own hands. If you can see it, you can enhance it. If you can't see it, you can invent it.

The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve - all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as players begin, their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings - the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the game play experience and playing is part of the creative experience.

Fathom out ways to overcome tricky obstacles as you interact with the surrounding environment, or compose inspirational locations and objects that are totally unique to you. Immerse yourself in an organic world that's just waiting to be personalized.

Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch - or can go and explore everybody else's.

Customer Reviews

the most entertaining satisfying unfrustrating game ever pretty much everyone else has said it all (except those who gave it 3 stars it was much better than that), this game is soo much fun and is entertaining for hours on end! my favourite thing about it though is that it's not frustrating whatsoever: the "life system" is very relaxed- as you get to each new checkpoint all your lives are renewed. if you can't get past a certain level you can always create your own or play other people's online or play with others to change it up so it'll keep you entertained. it's also convenient that the characters are so customizable because you can always tell your own sackperson apart from others' there's always an incentive to keep playing even if the levels are too hard because there are new ones that other people are always coming up with and even if you play a level and don't pass it you get cool things like stickers and clothing (which you use to customize your look and your pod which is like your own personal spaceship or whatever, it's really cute!) the graphics are AMAZING and every little movement is taken into account so you feel like the sackpeople are real (by that i mean they're movements aren't 2D and they actually imitate real life movement and the laws of physics) this game is simply just entertaining pure joy and never gets boring or frustrating and there's always something to do on little big planet. great multiplayer game =)

LittleBigPlanet No other game like this one.It never gets boring. Kids and adults both love this game.

Rather average platformer I was looking forward to this game, especially for the level creation feature. Fortunately for me I got a free month-game-rental from Blockbuster and tried a few games, one of which was this. There's been a lot of hype about Little Big Planet, and this game was supposed to be a system seller. Although I applaud the effort, it does not come close to meeting expectations. My review is based on about 3 days worth of playing it. For a game that has been in development for so long, it suffers from trying to do too much, and there's just not enough polish put into each one of the things it tries to do. As a platformer, it is rather average. A lot of people seem excited about the fact that it's new and fresh; they'll argue that Mario is getting long in the tooth. But Super Mario Galaxy is head and shoulders above this; do yourself a favor and pick it up if you haven't already, it is the pinnacle of platformers. Little Big Planet suffers from wonky controls; it is essentially a 2-D platformer, with a bit of a twist--there are three 2-D planes you can proceed through for alternate routes (though there's not much reason for doing so); unfortunately, you'll find that jumping from one to the other of the three is not exactly smooth--sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, sometimes you do when you don't really want to. A similar feature works so much better in Super Paper Mario, and more to the point, is an integral part of the game there. I also managed to get wedged between objects in the level several times; or enter an enclosure from which you cannot get out; you can waste a life and restart from an earlier check-point, but that shouldn't be. For the level editor (that I was very much looking forward to)--it's definitely not for lazy or inpatient people. I kept getting thrown into a (long) tutorial when trying to use an item, then get thrown into another tutorial for the next one. I'm old fashioned, I think video games should foster attention deficit disorders, not combat it. I guess the creators wanted to hold my hand as I discover the joy G-d must have felt when he created the world (and possibly killed the dinosaurs); it just felt to me like the game designers loved their creation so much, they couldn't let go and let me just figure things out on my own. It is family friendly, it does look good (though not better than Mario Galaxy on the weaker Wii console), but it's a game I wouldn't buy. My advice to you is rent it for a week and make up your mind, unless it goes down in price to $29 (then it's a buy; don't be so cheap!).

I love my PS3 The games library has been steadily growing and the cries of "there's not enough games to justify the expense" have either been silenced, or they belong to fanboys of the other consoles out there. The $399 price tag is a bit steep, but completely justified; you do get what you paid for. This thing is solidly built, comes with nice features, and is an excellent Blu-ray player to boot. The similarly equipped Xbox 360 Elite Console 120GB with 2 Bonus Games (minus the Blu-ray) costs about the same, but you would incur additional costs for internet gaming (free on the PS3). The only thing that the PS3 has working against it is Sony executives mouthing off and offending pretty much everyone. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the machine. Actually there is a second small knock against it. You should be aware that at least the current 80GB model is not backwards compatible with the PS2; there are lists compiled (easy to find on the net) of PS2 games and their level of compatibility with the PS3--the info is a bit confusing though, as it refers only to compatibility with the higher priced PS3's; the entry level console (now 80GB, used to be 40GB) will not play any PS2 games (unless there's a software update in the future). Ultimately, if you're into games, make a list of the games you want to play, and if your list requires more than the fingers on your left hand (I'm assuming you're using your right hand index finger to count) then spoil yourself (or your loved one/s) and jump in. And if you're into Hi-def, well, then you can't go wrong with the PS3 as a Blu-ray player--it's load-time is reputedly one of the better ones (for some reason Blu-rays load slower than DVDs), and its update feature (easy, over the wi-fi internet connection) ensures that you always have one of the better players; so again spoil yourself or your loved one/s. And enjoy! Hopefully, whatever issues need to be addressed with the CRTC will soon be dealt with, and we'll get access to Sony's movie rentals service--something our US neighbors have been enjoying already... The following lists are by no means complete (amazon limits links to 10 per review) and I tried to include different genres. I pointed out the games that are exclusively on the PS3. 5 Games worth buying: Grand Theft Auto IV Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (but it's worth shopping around for the "game of the year" edition that has twice the content.) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune-PS3 Exclusive Resistance: Fall Of Man-PS3 Exclusive Valkyria Chronicles-PS3 Exclusive 5 Games worth a rental: Heavenly Sword-PS3 Exclusive Little Big Planet-PS3 Exclusive Resident Evil 5 Folklore-PS3 Exclusive Assassin's Creed A lot of these games have been around for a while, so they are relatively cheap. There's at least thrice as many other games worth playing...

Best of the 3 systems Its the best of the 3 systems for graphics and for the blue ray, there arnt alot of games at the moment but alot of titles are comming for example GOD of WAR 3!! Final fantsey 13, 2009 is the year of the playstation 3

maybe in a few years First of all... Graphic are the same than xbox 360 (at least really close) There is not many interesting games avaible. The only great thing about the PS3 is the blue-ray. XBOX 360 (199$) 4.5/5 Playstation 3 (399$) 1/5

maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when picking a partner.

Steel yourself Against the Harsh Reality of Kijuju An advanced version of Capcom's proprietary MT Framework game engine brings groundbreaking graphics and effects to Kijuju, the highly-developed environment where this game's action takes place. New, lifelike lighting schemes highlight the differences between harsh sunlight and extreme darkness, and when you move from one to the other, you'll have to wait for your character's eyes to adjust before you can see clearly, adding to the suspense and challenge of navigating this game's environs.

Face the Next Generation of Evil You'll face new enemies with faster reflexes and improved AI, designed to be as dangerous alone as they are in groups and to keep even Resident Evil masters on their toes. Thankfully, they're not the only ones who have evolved. This game also offers access to powerful new weapons variations that extend your destructive capabilities.

And the updated, quick-select inventory system allows for real-time inventory management, as well as allowing characters to trade items and allowing you to place an item on the directional pad for instant access. Add all this to a detailed storyline the touches on what the past ten years have meant for Redfield and a Hollywood-caliber soundtrack, and it's clear that the latest installment in this series really does showcase all the elements at the heart of horror gaming.

Customer Reviews

outstanding great game, pretty good storyline.. still working on at it.. last few stages left to play that are kinda difficult

Resident Evil trips on its own shoelaces Capcom is well known for its Resident Evil franchise, and subsequent sequels and spinoffs have either been hit or miss. Resident Evil 4 was a completely reworked (and heartily welcome) vision of the series, equipping the player with a completely overhauled game engine and set of play mechanics. Those changes instantly raised the bar for the series, prompting players to wait earnestly for the next iteration of the series: Resident Evil 5. Its here, but for all intents and purposes, it isnt that impressive. Ill make no apologies for that statement. An officially numbered Resident Evil sequel is not immune to bad programming and direction, and the latest chapter missteps on more than one occasion. RE5 takes advantage of next-generation HD hardware to produce some amazing visuals, Ill admit. I found myself impressed by the wonderful art direction and level design of the game. For the most part, environments feel natural and well thought out. Character models and facial expressions are visually striking and definitely a high point of the title. Things arent perfect, however. Some environments seem to be coated in a thick reflective gloss that looks artificial. Other environments are bogged down by surprisingly low-resolution textures for a HD game. Theres nothing wrong with the sound of the game. Theres a great surround sound track that accompanies all the shooting, growling and screaming, but most sound effects have been lifted directly from Resident Evil 4. Nothing bad there, Ill admit, but it would have been nice to hear deeper and more pronounced gunshots, explosions, etc. Thats nitpicking by far, but Resident Evil is a series that should be banging its head solidly against the glass ceiling at every opportunity. Music is stock Resident Evil fare, which isnt going to knock your socks off, but it gets the job done. One Resident Evil 4 gripe that has found its way into this sequel is the never-failing tendency for ominous music to start playing whenever an enemy enters the environment, regardless of whether youve seen them or not. It doesnt leave much room for sudden scares. The control scheme from Resident Evil 4 is back 100%. Thats a good thing, but unfortunately Capcom didnt bother to tweak the control scheme one single bit. You can only dodge certain heavy attacks by pressing a button at the opportune moment, but theres no sudden side, backstep, or forward lunge to get you out of the way of the merciless attacks youll be facing. In short, it doesnt feel that realistic in terms of controlling a Special Forces expert like Chris Redfield, who should be able to adequately balance agility and strength in a firefight. Theres no strafe option, either, which could have easily been implemented by using the X button to activate a strafing mode, while using L3 exclusively for running. I realize that many people would prefer to use X for running, but doubling up the same function on two different buttons is not only redundant, but pointless. The biggest gripe I have with RE5 is the implementation of a partner system. While the character of Sheva is pure digital eye candy, shes absolutely useless in a fight. To be fair, I personally cannot stand a game where I have to babysit an NPC, even for a few minutes. To go through the entire game with a poorly executed character hanging onto your leg is just ridiculous. The advantages to having Sheva by your side are not worth the actual experience. Sure, shes got your back. The problem is that shes so outrageously trigger happy that shell whittle down what little ammo you pick up through the course of the game in no time flat. Frequent checks of my inventory showed all of my ammo counters at 0, with no extra cartridges to spare. That meant having to rely on absolutely worthless backup weapons like the macheté (dont bother, trust me). The game is sparse on ammo to begin with, but a single character traversing the environment would be in a far better position to conserve and expend cartridges. Sure, having Sheva by your side means an extra 6 inventory slots, but give me 8 as a single player character and Ill find a way to make it work. If things werent bad enough, Sheva has an unfailing tendency to walk straight into your line of fire. While retreating from multiple pursuing enemies, I quickly did a 180 degree turn to face my attackers and take a few out. Unfortunately, there was Sheva, standing directly in my line of fire with the red laser dot of my weapon pointed straight between her eyes. It takes her a few moments to get the hell out of the way, at which point your enemies have already closed in far more than you would have liked. Worse, Sheva will frequently try to help you with the firefight, only to inexplicably and obliviously shoot you in the back over and over again until you move out of her way. Im not crazy about the combat system this time around, either. RE4 was set up extremely well, allowing you to put your back against the wall and fight it out, or use more tactically sound methods like blocking doors, diving through windows, etc. Those abilities are all here, but more often than not, I felt swarmed. There are far more enemies coming at you this time, and they come from all directions. Its a constant run n gun, which of course is the point, but battles feel mismatched and unfair. When youre trying to gun down a load of approaching enemies, only to get blown up by dynamite that an enemy tossed from out of your field of vision, the experience becomes frustrating and cheap. Similarly, there are so many cramped areas in the game that it becomes difficult to navigate and fight back. One such level involves Chris and Sheva teaming up with another Special Forces operative, trying to escape using elevators. On a narrow walkway, your third operative attempts to hack the elevator console while you and Sheva are responsible for protecting him. Not only do dozens of enemies come flooding the walkway, but youre treated with an extra problem: the chainsaw-wielding foe that can absorb 10-15 direct headshots with a high powered rifle, despite only having a bag over his head. Couple this dilemma with the aforementioned shortage of ammo thanks to a sod of an NPC partner, and the game becomes tiresome. In fact, I put down the controller halfway through the game and decided to quit for good, completely unhindered by the thought of finishing the game or revealing more of the story. The frustration had become too much to bear, which I found incredibly surprising given my continuing adoration for Resident Evil 4. If there was an option to play strictly as Chris Redfield, or politely give Sheva the heave-ho, I wouldnt have been as critical of the game. As it stands, I believe I played through enough of Resident Evil 5 to score the game accordingly. For the RE diehard, there are obvious reasons to play through the game. There are unlockables galore, as always, including a mode where you can play through the game solely as Sheva (why, I have no idea), and unlock and upgrade multiple weapons and items. As it stands, Resident Evil 5 is a beautiful game that trips on its own shoelaces thanks to poor A.I., a shoddy combat system, unbalanced enemies and an NPC partner that is the complete polar opposite of Elika from Prince of Persia. Unfortunate, indeed. GRAPHICS: 8.5/10 SOUND: 9/10 CONTROL: 8/10 GAMEPLAY: 6/10 FUNFACTOR: 7/10 OVERALL: 7/10

VERY good game I must admit that my opinion will be biased because this is the first Resident Evil game I've ever picked up and played. I'm a big baby when it comes to scary games so I only purchased this for online co-op. And let me tell you, it's been one of the best investments I've made for the PS3. The story line isn't too original... some things are a dead giveaway but I can forgive that almost immediately. Online co-op has got to be the BEST ONLINE CO-OP I'VE SEEN TO DATE. You are able to fully interact with your partner, give items back and forth in case you've run out of something, or your partner has. If you don't have a headset there are voice command presets that are already done up which can help you give your partner the gist of what you want / need. The graphics are very good as well. And on the scary factor, after playing this game for quite some time, you'll find yourself laughing instead of screaming : ) The bonus features of the game have to be unlocked, which is great motivation to get you to keep playing the chapters over and over. Sometimes you may get a little tired of it, but put it down then for awhile and come back to it after a little break. It makes a difference and keeps the story interesting. Overall I gave this game 5/5 stars because of the graphics, co-op, and bonus features. It's important to have a game that keeps you addicted and playing so that you won't feel like you've wasted your hard earned bucks. Resident Evil 5 definitely covers that part ^_^

A single player role-playing game (RPG) for PlayStation Portable, in Class of Heroes who you choose to take with you into the dark, dreary depths may be the difference between walking out a hero, clutching prizes and riches beyond imagination, or being carried out a zero, your stiff fist still feebly clutching your sword.

Assemble your party, plan out your tactics, be sure to pack a nutritional lunch, and then show everyone else that you’re the best adventurer-in-training in the world. Mysterious dungeons await you, first-year student. An

early demise looms around every dark corner, but danger and adventure are a learning experience in Class of Heroes, so don’t forget to finish your homework.

Story Long ago, without reason or explanation, the mysterious labyrinths came to be, and the world was changed forever. In a constant state of flux, they sprawl across the world like a web, connecting towns and villages, mountains, lakes, and deserts. Many adventurers delved into these labyrinths dreaming of riches, and those fortunate enough to return did so with amazing stories and unimaginable treasures. It was only natural that the children of the world began to look upon these heroes with unconditional admiration, eager to follow in their footsteps. And so, academies for adventurers were born.

Welcome to Particus Academy Welcome, students, to Particus Academy, the newest adventurer academy to open its doors. Since the appearance of the labyrinths--a mysterious set of paths that transverse the mountains and forests--many youths have been inspired to venture within in search of their treasures and secrets. Particus Academy was built to help students reach their goals. At Particus, we strive to empower our students with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle the most difficult tasks within the labyrinths. With 15 majors to choose from and a diverse student body of all 10 races from across the world, Particus Academy is a compelling choice for any student looking to begin their adventure. Particus Academy is in a class of its own. Enroll today.

the Races at Particus Academy Each of the 10 playable races at Particus Academy has its own separate customs, physical characteristics, strengths and weakness which make them at one time or another valuable or a liability as you quest through the labyrinths. Choose your comrades wisely and you may be successful in your adventuring yet. Just a few of the playable races are:

Drakes With dragon blood flowing through their veins, Drakes have great natural strength and high vitality making them the quintessential warriors. But they are often overly proud and condescending towards others.

Sprites A fairy race who often mediate between gods and humans Sprites have an inexplicable admiration for humanity, and are both quick and wise, making them good candidates for thievery or spell-casting majors.

Diablons Being of demon origin, Diablons tend to be avoided by other races. they are knowledgeable in magical physics, and often receive high marks in spell-casting majors. Without exception, there is no ill will between them and Erdgeists.

Humans A race with no outstanding qualities, Humans have a choice of a wide variety of majors. their high fertility and a short lifespan, leads many to grow interested in the sharing of knowledge and oral tradition in their old age.

Elves Elves are a highly intelligent and pious, and thus are well suited for spell-casting majors. they do not like speaking to Dwarves, due to their distaste for their harsh, low way of speaking.

Key Game Features:

● Over 500 Character Possibilities - 10 races, 2 genders, 3 alignments, and 15 majors add up to incredible opportunity to customize your party. Change majors for further customization at higher levels.

● 80 Hours of Classic Dungeon Crawling - This is as classic as dungeon crawling gets in an ever-changing 3-D labyrinth containing more than 75 maps full of puzzles, traps, and treasure. Battle hundreds of monster types and uncover over 1300 item types.

● Flexible Alchemy System - Offering more than 400 recipes, this system allows you to synthesize new items from random components found in the labyrinths, as well as customize your weapons’ attributes, range, and strength.

Customer Reviews

Great game for "Old School RPG" fans. Legacy of Ys Books I & II is basically a compilation of the first two games in the Ys series. Both games came out a long time before Final Fantasy 7 brought RPG console games into the mainstream, and this game still feels like it was brought out of a time capsule into today's market. Yes, the graphics look better than they did back then, but it still suffers from a lack of innovation of current RPGs. That's not to say that it is a bad game, far from it. It is a very good update of a classic series and has a feel that is very reminicent of earlier Zelda games but with more roleplaying elements. You can buy this game on the Wii Store, but it feels better as a handheld title. The co-op mode is misleading. It is just a minigame rather than playing through the story co-op with a friend. It's unfortunate but understandable. If you are looking for a challenging RPG with great cut-scenes and story, then look no further. However, it may be a little to "hard-core" for some gamers. The bonus Soundtrack CD is a great addition as well.

Spectacular One of the most enjoyable movies i've seen. It was great in the theatre and its just as great on the big screen in 1080p resolution with surround sound. The special features in particular are excellent to watch. Each detail of the most interesting aspects of the movie are broken down and exposed on how they were developed. Quite amazing.

Best Batman to date Really good movie. I have watched this one over and over again and can never get enuff.... Can't wait for the next Batman movie!

Heath Ledger is awesome!!! Heath earned his Oscar with a spectacular performance, well worth the price of this Blu-ray. One of the few movies I will will watch more than once. The best Batman movie made to date.

Customer Reviews

Great Workout! I purchased this product around 3 weeks ago and am SOOOOO happy with it. I too liked the boxing workout on the Wii Fit, but I hated how slow it was and I hated using the remote/nunchuk combo. With Gold's Gym, it's an actual "break a sweat" workout and you can use two remotes instead of remote/nuncuk. The game is a great boxing workout that teaches proper punches, blocks, ducking and weaving. The instuctors are easy to follow and I like that he or she reminds you of your stance or energy level during the workout; helps me when I'm nearing the end of the workout and I'm not punching as strong, lol. You can stay at each level as long as you need to before moving on to a higher level. My favourite feature is having your instructor create a customized workout for you. It saves me time of trying to decide which workout to do. I've actually been doing it every other day for the past 3 weeks and have lost 5 pounds! It's the only workout I stick with.

Cardio Box Rockx! This is a great game. I loved the boxing component in the Wii Fit game but wished there was more to it. Now you can use this game! It is easy to use, challenging, fun and motivating at the same time. I hate working out, I can't seem to stay interested in anything for more than a few weeks. This will change that however, I find my self waiting to use it. The price is great. If you are at all thinking about it, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Workout I like the variety and change in activities that this program has. The instructions are straight forward and it was easy to get started. The workout is as easy or as difficult as you make it.

The Hormone Diet: Lose Fat. Gain Strength. Live Younger Longer. By Natasha Turner






Product Description

Editorial Reviews

Review "At last, a book about how to achieve hormonal health that looks at the big picture. This book is a treasure. " –Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Secret Pleasures of Menopause (Hay House, 2008), The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, revised 2006), Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (Bantam, revised 2006), and Mother-Daughter Wisdom (Bantam, 2005) “The Hormone Diet adds an exciting new dimension to the contemporary discussion of hormones and health. It teaches people of all ages how to favorably alter their own internal hormone production with diet change, exercise, adequate sleep, natural detoxification, stress reduction, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and botanicals–a truly patent medicine-free and very effective, holistic approach. Dr. Natasha Turner leads readers through a simple, step-by-step approach to determine which of their hormones are high and which are low, and then another step-by-step approach to the correction of these imbalances over time. Following her advice will result in significantly better hormone balance and over-all health–and lead to sustained weight loss for as long as her program is followed.Very highly recommended!” –Dr. Jonathan Wright, a pioneer for natural female hormone replacement "Dr. Natasha Turner, N.D., is brilliant, authentic and a top notch author....She is sincerely dedicated to the health and well-being of us all.I have found her advice and experience to be remarkably helpful in my life. I am sure this book will become the cornerstone of your progressive, healthy lifestyle....I personally favour Dr. Turner's approach as it gives certain hope for the possibility of re-establishing superior hormone communication patterns by non-drug, lifestyle interventions. This is powerful knowledge! My 25 years of research has demonstrated to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the groundbreaking dietary approach explained in The Hormone Diet, with straightforward, no-nonsense terminology - from eating slowly to fully embracing life and joy - is the best strategy for a healthy and happy life." –Sam Graci, internationally renowned lecturer, researcher, formulator of greens+, and author of four books including his latest, The Bone-Building Solution.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 14 Sex and Sweat: Why We Need Both For Hormonal Balance Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions. Woody Allen Here’s what you will learn in this chapter: • Many of us are not enjoying the sex we should • How sex revs up our fat-burning hormones • How sex can satisfy cravings and control our appetite • The benefits of exercise on our hormones for fat burning and metabolism • The common workout mistakes that slow fat loss and hamper the hormone-enhancing benefits of exercise Now that you have primed your hormones in Steps 1 and 2, you are set to enjoy the explosive benefits that great sex and exercise have on your hormones, metabolism and weight loss. If you are not in the habit of getting physical on a regular basis, I hope this chapter will persuade you to change. When I say “getting physical,” I mean enjoying two very basic hormone-enhancing, fat-burning, stress-busting activities: sex and exercise. Both involve working up a sweat. Both have wonderful hormone-boosting effects when we engage in them regularly. And, believe it or not, when we do one, we often have more desire to do the other. Any amount of pleasurable sex is beneficial for you, as is any amount of exercise when done properly. So, I guess in this sense, every workout counts and every make-out session counts — but doing both a few times weekly is even better! Unfortunately, the majority of us don’t exercise and just as many of us don’t enjoy sex as often as we should. We can come up with a whole host of reasons why we don’t exercise: we’re too busy, too tired, don’t have enough time, not in the mood, don’t like it, don’t feel well enough, don’t know how to do it, don’t think we’re good at it, can’t last long enough, wouldn’t know how to start, don’t like to do it alone, don’t like doing it in public. And I suppose all of these could apply to sex too. In my practice, I have at times begged patients to begin working out. In some cases I have actually told them not to come back to see me but to spend their money on personal training instead. One patient in particular was terrific about taking her supplements and was spending plenty of good money doing so. I told her she would probably need half the products if she would exercise. I truly believe there is no better way to change your life than to start exercising. If there’s one thing I pray you’ll do after reading my book it’s to make exercise a part of your life, if it isn’t already. If it already is, perhaps you’ll learn something after you read the second part of this chapter that will allow you to enjoy better results from your efforts. But let’s start with sex first. It’s always a good attention grabber! Bringing Sexy Back! Sex is something we can get by without, whether we are in a relationship or not, but we shouldn’t have to. Sex can be a complicated issue because it involves emotions, relationships, past sexual experiences, and physical and spiritual components. It also depends heavily on our current hormonal state, although some experts say our prior sexual functions and relationships are more important variables in determining how much sex we have or how enjoyable it is for us in the here and now. When a patient comes to see me, I ask two basic questions: How’s your energy? and How’s your sex drive? When a patient tells me either of these aspects of his or her life has changed, I know immediately there’s a bigger health problem at play. Sadly, I’ve found that a surprising number of people ignore these changes for years, simply accepting them as normal or feeling too embarrassed to deal with them. If this scenario sounds familiar to you, I hope to inspire you to think differently and to take steps to get your “mojo” back. You may be one of the millions of adults who experience sexual dysfunction, the incidence of which appears to be at an all-time high. According to an extensive study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the obesity epidemic is certainly not our only concern at this point. The results revealed that about 43 per cent of women and 30 per cent of men experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction, including lack of desire, arousal issues, inability to orgasm or ejaculate, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, lack of enjoyment, erectile dysfunction and performance anxiety. If you think sex has fallen away just because you’re getting older, are not in a relationship or haven’t done it in a long time, think again. Pleasurable sex is something every adult should enjoy for a lifetime — with or without a partner. And remember, sex doesn’t mean intercourse alone. Masturbation (on your own or with a partner) and other forms of sexual play that get your hormones revving are definitely recommended. If you’re currently having great sex, keep at it because it’s good for you. Have sex all your life, and your body, brain, muscles and fat cells will thank you for it. Do it over and over — that’s right, don’t stop. Are Our Hormones Hampering our Sex Life or Is It the Other Way Around? The answer is both. Sexual dysfunction is a global concern, as shown by the Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors (GSSAB). After 13,882 women and 13,618 men from over 29 countries were surveyed, the researchers concluded: “Sexual difficulties are relatively common among mature adults throughout the world. Sexual problems tend to be more associated with physical health and aging among men than women.” Sexual Issues for Men An estimated 1 in 5 men currently experience erectile dysfunction (ED). Although psychological reasons play strongly in cases in men 35 years of age and younger, physiological factors are the main cause for men 50 and up. But ED at any age can provide a much bigger picture about a man’s health besides what’s happening below the belt. We now know, for example, the state of a man’s penis is a very good indication of cardiovascular wellness. Problems in this area are linked to arterial disease, heart attacks, stroke and diabetes. Ever since that now-famous little blue pill topped $1.5 billion in sales in 2001, becoming a pharmaceutical smash hit practically overnight, drug companies have been working feverishly to produce second-generation medications to deal with ED. Think about that figure — $1.5 billion! And realize at the same time that about 30 to 50 per cent of patients can’t even take Viagra because of contraindications such as heart disease. Since this family of drugs hit the market in the late 1990s, the number of American men with health complaints has increased by 50 per cent. Evidently sex is an important issue and a great source of motivation for seeking medical intervention. Viagra is certainly working wonders for many people, although in my view it represents a “quickie” solution when a “long-term love affair” with lasting lifestyle change is certainly what’s needed. That’s right, I mean the three steps. That Viagra sales, obesity and stress rates are at all-time highs is no coincidence because the hormonal distress associated with abdominal obesity is a major contributing factor to impotence and erectile dysfunction. All healthy men experience a gradual decrease in testosterone, about 1.5 per cent each year, after age 30. (This percentage appears to be increasing, however — possibly due to toxin exposure.) Although the link between men’s testosterone levels and their desire for sex is not entirely clear, the connection between lower free testosterone and weakened orgasmic function and/or erectile function is definite, according to a 2002 study from the British Journal of Urology. The hormonal changes men naturally experience as they age tend to happen more gradually than the ones women undergo with menopause, although they can still result in symptoms of reduced energy, poor sex drive, declining muscle mass, increased abdominal fat or irritability. These symptoms may seem uncomplicated, but they are increasingly common in my clinical practice among men in their 30s and 40s and are definite signals of high risk in the field of preventive medicine. Remember, low testosterone in men is linked to heart disease and even death. Sexual Issues for Women Drug companies are also scrambling to tap into the sexual dysfunction market for women. Sadly, this market is also huge and, unlike the case with men, the distribution of difficulties is fairly even among women 18 to 59 years of age. About 20 per cent of women experience problems with arousal and, as a result, experience poor lubrication. Drug companies are now looking at ways to understand the female brain and develop a means of stimulating the arousal centres. But more pharmaceuticals are not always the answer. The three steps of the Hormone Diet have the potential to create the perfect hormonal balance for both a healthy libido and successful fat loss, especially because of their wonderful ability to calm the cortisol that can crush a healthy sex drive, even under the best of conditions. Stress is certainly quick to kill that lovin’ feeling, but menopause is often no help either. The natural dip in estrogen, testosterone and progesterone that are part and parcel of this stage of life can lead to problems in almost all areas of sexual function, including interest, responsiveness and enjoyment. These same hormones also affect mood, sleep, where we store fat and how well we lose it. Considering the incredible impact these hormones have on our life, restoring their balance — either with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy ...

Everything You Need to Know It is simply a gem. It's all you'll ever need to reclaim your health. Natasha could have done 4 books out of all the information she's packed in this one. It's surprisingly accessible, despite the fact that she's dealing with a lot of medical information (and words with too many letters). I've been lucky to be one of Natasha's patient for over 10 years and she's put me on her plan way before her book came out. After being misdiagnosed for 3 years by my ex-GP, my hypothyrodism was getting worse. She the first one who saw what was wrong and helped me get back on my feet. My pre-menoposal years are getting closer but I fear not this transition because I know that it'll be greatly eased by her help and the plan in her book. If you don't have the chance to have a great ND like I have, at least get yourself this book. Now!

The Hormone Diet I have been searching for a Canadian aspect on the effects of how hormones play a part in messing up the body, especially for women. Truly a must read for women wondering why their own bodies have turned on them and how you can get the education and help to naturally combat the invisible stress of your inner self.

Great Book This is a must have book for men and women, very informative! I find I am referring back to it all the time.I am also looking forward to receiving the products that were suggested. Thanks Jayne

supermario galaxy i find the game really fun,the camera is a little frustrating that you cant ajust it but overall i say its fun for all ages

Super Mario Galaxy This is a very fun if not very simple game. The graphics are great. The controls are decent(although it gets confusing when you walk around a small planet or underneath things). What I really appreciate is the co-operative capability. My wife is very competitive, but not that good at console games, so she gets frustrated very easily. With this title, there is no competition, rather she is able to help me out by collecting the star bits that I can't get when I'm in an area I need to focus on controls. She really enjoys helping me out in this way. She is also able to freeze enemies (which can really help in tight spots), shoot star bits and occasionally make me jump (although this can be detrimental if done accidentally in the wrong place). This is a great game for new gamers, fun for old gamers, but might be too simple for serious gamers. I enjoyed playing through it.

One of the Top Wii games ever! I bought this game not to long ago, and had extremely high expectations for it, since everyone seems to be going on about how amazing it was. I was nervous it wouldn't be as good as I was hoping it would, but I was so happy to find out it is. I have a hand cramp from playing it so much. It uses all the features of the Wii remote flawlessly, and it is so much fun to play. It is fairly easy to get the hang of, but still presents a challenge as a game. I would recommend this to everyone that they buy it. It is by far one of the best games out there for the Wii

Amazon.ca Product Description Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower.

About the Xbox 360 Hardware

Xbox 360, shown with wireless

controller, is a sleek, customizable

gaming and entertainment

system.

Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has announced plans for a upcoming video-conferencing camera that will work with the system.

Xbox 360 can manage your

games, your online friends, and

your personal digital library.

About Xbox 360 Games and Media Xbox 360 is scheduled to launch with more than 20 launch titles, with several more slated to be released within the following month. Launch titles include Madden NFL 2006, Project Gotham Racing 3, and the long-awaited Perfect Dark Zero. All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to

supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

About Xbox Live A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital goodies for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

What's Included in the Game System

● Xbox 360 console● 20GB detachable hard drive● Wireless controller● Wireless Xbox Live headset● High-definition AV cables● Ethernet cable● Xbox 360 Media Remote Control (limited time)● Detachable faceplate● Xbox Live Silver membership

The Next-Gen I love my Xbox 360, and yeah I suffered the 3 rings issue, and it's getting fixed right now. Microsoft handled that issue great, although it stands to reason that if the 360 wasn't rushed out to get the jump on Nintendo and Sony, then perhaps they wouldn't have these problems, but I guess to win in this business it's who's first and who's got the library, so 360 is doing exactly what PS2 did to the original Xbox, win by just having the much larger library. Asides the hardware problem with the 3 rings, I've never had an issue, not even the disc eating, I guess that's few and far between, and mind you yeah it's a pain to lose a game system, but since the warranty was extended for 3 years, what more can you ask for? I've heard such negativity with the reviews here, but it's a free repair, it's either that you get it fixed for free or get a PS3 or a Wii. PS3 with it's frame-rate issues on Madden 08 and other games, and who knows if it won't have technical issues it's still a new system, as well as having almost no exclusive titles. Then there's the Wii, which is equal to the original Xbox with most games being done in 480p, not all, most, and a gimmicky and sometimes problematic controller that many developers have trouble programming for. Xbox 360 as a gaming platform, and as an entertainment centre with the HD DVD player is tops in my book. So far Microsoft has dominated the market, and only recently has Microsoft also become a developer to maintain more exclusive titles, and 2008 should be a very interested year for 360 owners, well it should be a very interesting year for all the game consoles, this console is far from being over, it's a great time to be a gamer, especially with prices going down although a little slow but they're going down none the less.

price drop why is everyone selling for such a high price when you can go to the store and get the 360 for $399

Great console, best of the 3 avaliable Alright, let me get this straight...unlike most of the people who post reviews on here who DON'T have this product, I have all 3 of the newest generation consoles (PS3, 360 and Wii). I got my Xbox 360 on day 1, got my Wii on day 1, got my Ps3 a couple of months ago...Xbox 360 is by far the best console. It has the best selection and variety of games at this point, and I haven't had a single problem with it...never had to send it in for repairs and it works like a charm. Even my buddies who got the system on day 1 haven't had any issues with their Xbox 360's...i personally think the 33% rate (as mentioned below by the fellow who is obviously basing all his opinions from inetrnet message boards) is exaggerated. Plus, Microsoft offers a 3 year warrenty...$0, all free service. As a matter a fact, I'm actually having to send my Nintendo Wii in this week for repairs and i've heard they charge after 90 days (which isn't fair). In the end, Xbox 360's online may cost $50/year but is totally worth every penny...PS3's online is half decent (only because its for free) but i've had connection issues and voice chat problems with the service, Microsofts online is solid and stable. If you want the best console thats avaliable right now with the best games, get an Xbox 360...The PS3 is definitely a good console, but the variety of games is weak and 95% of the games are coming to Xbox 360 anyway. The Bluray is a nice addition ofcourse, but this is a VIDEOGAME console we're speaking of...not a movie watching/internet surfing device.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower.

Under the Hood



gaming and entertainment system

Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 8.3 by 31 by 26 centimeters and weighs about 3.5 kgs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage this console package includes a 120GB hard drive. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

gaming package

The Media Experience All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

Go Live A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

What's in the Box?

● Xbox 360 Elite console (black) ● 120GB hard drive ● Wireless Controller (black) ● Xbox Live Headset (black) ● HDMI port ● HDMI cable ● Xbox Live Silver membership ● One-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold

Customer Reviews

ELITE?... ELITE?... i think so! this is my second 360 ive purchased and is BY FAR the better. more consoles should have this idea adding the hd cables with the bundle plus all the extras this system comes with. in my opinion anyone looking to buy an xbox 360 should pick this one even though its slightly more money since it's worth it in the end.

Sweet. Aside from Canada Post leaving my new XBOX 360 Elite unattended on my doorstep in the sun, this console is pretty amazing. First of all, the expanded 120gb harddrive doubles that of the PS3. You could argue that you'll never need all that space, but I remember when I was told that my Pentium 90 was all I'd ever need...HDMI is supported, and it comes with the cable too unlike another system I know... The black color is a nice touch, but they talk about it like it's never been done before!

Customer Reviews

Amazing deal for an Amazing system This is the same bundle that you see at every store for $500, but here, for $450. Same bundle, different price, save $50 if you buy it off Amazon, doesn't sound like much savings but that pretty much covers the taxes, which is a nice treat :-D. It's a great system and a great value, and other bundles are just other bundles of different games, hence the other reviewer who gave this system a low rating should realize that this bundle is for the Graw + arcade bundle vs. the PGR3 Kameo bundle. It's also important to mention that the Graw + arcade bundle is a newer release of the xbox 360 that comes with the quieter dvd drive. Good games to buy: Good Games to get with it: Tactical Shooter: Gears of war Action: Dead Rising Strategy: Lord of the Rings: Battle for middle Earth II amazing classic for xbox: Halo 2 My suggestion, buy the premium package over the core, premium comes with the 120$ hdd, the headset + remote and wireless paddle.

Great deal I'm not sure what makes this a holiday bundle since the same bundle has been available at my local stores for well over a month. I'd also note that other online retailers appear to be selling what they describe as a "holiday bundle" with the inclusion of another free game. I'd look around before sinking money into this particular "deal".

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed From LucasArts Entertainment






Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #899 in Computer & Video Games ● Brand: Lucas Arts● Model: 32389● Published on: 2008-09● Released on: 2008-09-16● ESRB Rating: Teen● Platform: PLAYSTATION 3● Number of items: 1● Dimensions: 10.00" h x 10.00" w x 10.00" l, .30 pounds

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

Artwork of the Jedi "Maris"

View larger.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM

incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time. Game Features:

● During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.

● Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.

● Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:

❍ The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.

❍ The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.

● In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.

● Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.

● The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.

● The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.

● LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Meet the Cast The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event. Set during the "dark times" between Episodes III and IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed portrays the previously untold story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice -- and now you can put a face to that mysterious character as well as the major supporting cast members as LucasArts unveils the actors set to star in The Force Unleashed.

The New Technology of The Force Unleashed With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create true next-gen gameplay and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

Customer Reviews

Far, Far from Perfect I had high hopes for this game. But upon playing it, I felt heavily let down. Though, some fun and redeeming aspects did surface from the experience. From the start, the gameplay feels unpolished. I had hoped that later levels would improve, but they too carried the feeling of something being unfinished in the game's design and execution. Enemy and Allie intelligence can at times be very buggy, sporadic, and largely incompetent. This really draws away from the overall experience, keeping the game from feeling truly alive and engaging as the Star Wars universe should. The game does display some nice visuals at moments, and features a wonderful new physics system to try force powers with, but these things are not enough in the end to help the game succeed. Despite these things, the game does manage to carry a reasonable story line, and mixes in a good level of fun with the abusing of force powers against helpless enemies. (Nothing like throwing Jawas and Wookies around at will) Really, if you're a big fan of Star Wars, then I really do recommend this game for you. The lack of polish shouldn't be too much of a problem to deter you from enjoying the game. But if you're skeptical, and not a big fan of the series, then I have to suggest you pass on to something else.

Customer Reviews

Ne pas acheter pour le moment Rock Band 2 souffre de plusieurs "bugs" au niveau de la batterie pour le moment. Le signal de la batterie s'éteint parfois pendant les chansons ou la batterie se met sur pause de manière automatique. Problème que Rock Band 1 et Guitar Hero World Tour n'ont pas quand j'utilise ma batterie ou la batterie de d'autres personnes. Le problème est le même avec la batterie de Rock Band 1 et Rock Band 2 qui est sans fils. Donc ce n'est pas un problèmes avec la batterie directement mais avec le jeu Rock Band 2. Plusieurs forums sur Internet parlent du problème sans offrir de solutions sérieuses. Je vous conseil d'acheter Rock Band 1 ou Guitar Hero World Tour et d'aller acheter des chansons sur le PlayStation store à la place (si vous voulez du nouveau). En espérant que PlayStation fera une mise a jour pour corriger le problème... Mais ça risque d'être long.............

Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer In the highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling Sony PlayStation 3 game, Resistance 2 is an alternate-history, first-person shooter that puts you in the heroic role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as he struggles against overwhelming odds to defend humankind from an insurmountable Chimera.

Resistance 2 puts you in the heroic role of

Sgt. Nathan Hale. View larger.

This sequel introduces several new

Chimeran enemies with a host of new

powers. View larger.

Resistance 2 takes up right where Resistance: Fall of Man left off. Hale is kidnapped by a black ops group in London and forced to Iceland for research testing. The full scope of what happens in Iceland is a mystery, but the game reveals that as Hale wrestles with the insidious Chimera war machine, he must also battle the virus raging inside his body that threatens to transform him into the very creature he fights against.

The Return of the Chimera The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise. For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans into

Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes. They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth's climate to a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat requirements.

Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying species that attack in hordes.

The Battle Moves to the United States After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco. Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies, demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no survivors. As the battle continues across the United States, you're sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more powerful enemies.

In Chicago, you'll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the level, you'll need to work together, moving from cover to cover, setting up your squad in a smart and

defensive manner. These are just a few examples of the challenging levels you'll encounter as you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if you're hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won't leave you disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter experience.

Online game play Goes BIG Powered by Insomniac Games' third-generation PlayStation 3 technology, Resistance 2 delivers several console gaming breakthroughs. Most impressive are the stand-alone, class-based, online co-operative campaign mode that can accommodate up to eight players, and the mind-blowing, 60-player, squad-based online competitive multiplayer battle fest. This unprecedented 60-player option could revolutionize online multiplayer game play and is sure to provide countless hours of action-packed fun.

Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online

gaming experience.

Customer Reviews

Great game falls just short. I want to preamble by saying this game is great. It's fun, there are numerous different locations and some fun bosses

to beat. However, the #1 complaint I have that stopped an otherwise graphically beautiful, epic game, from getting 5 stars, is

the lack of a strong story line. While the plot sounds epic, the way the cut-scenes are filmed stops the player from

really caring about the situation. We are witness to the invasion and destruction of San Fransisco, and a serious

threat to the continental defenses of the US, but there is never a sense that it REALLY matters. This is a great, but generic first person shooter. About 15 hours of game play if you have fun playing.

Very disappointing for offline players I'm not a gamer and bought Resistance: Fall of Man solely to play with my hubby. I have no interest playing online

with others. We had a blast playing campaign co-op in RFOM, so when R2 came out, I eagerly bought it with the

anticipation of hours of campaign co-op fun. So we were very surprised and disappointed to discover that they had

taken away offline campaign co-op. The offline co-op available is horrible - the missions are completely random, it's

extremely tedious to play a map over and over again just to unlock another map, and one of us will never retain our

XP. I know most people love the sequel because of its online capabilities. However, not everyone who purchase this

game wants to play online. If Insomniac can come up with the "revolutionary" 60-player option, the least they could

do is to retain campaign co-op for offline players. I know I'm in the minority but I'm very disappointed with this

sequel. If there is an R3 in the works, I really hope Insomniac will restore offline campaign co-op capability.

*****Best PS3 game ever***** Wow!!!!!! I am a huge fan of FPS games and after playing this game i can without doubt say.....this is one of theeeee

best shooting game i ever played in my life. The game is 200% improved form the original one. The graphic,,,,

gameplay,,,,story,,,, everything is A++++++ This game also probably has one of the best online game play ever

created,,,,,,,,, if u r a huge fan of shooting games then this game is definitely for U and it is a must buy for all PS3

owners. It's the best ps3 game of the year*****

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed From LucasArts Entertainment






Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #984 in Computer & Video Games ● Brand: Lucas Arts● Released on: 2008-09-16● ESRB Rating: Teen● Platform: Nintendo Wii

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

Join the Dark Side

You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice

View larger.

Use the force to disable your enemies

View larger.

Artwork of the Jedi "Maris"

View larger.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics system. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything

reacts exactly like it should - wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time. Game Features:

● During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.

● Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers - Force push, grip, repulse and lightning - throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.

● Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:

❍ The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls - he'll Force push enemies through walls.

❍ The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside - he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.

● In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar face s from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.

● Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.

● The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.

● LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Meet the Cast The Star Wars Saga will continue in 2008 with LucasArts' biggest-ever video game event. Set during the "dark times" between Episodes III and IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed portrays the previously untold story of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice -- and now you can put a face to that mysterious character as well as the major supporting cast members as LucasArts unveils the actors set to star in The Force Unleashed.

The New Technology of The Force Unleashed With The Force Unleashed, LucasArts not only introduces a new chapter in the Star Wars saga, but also two completely new and innovative technologies -- Digital Molecular Matter by Pixelux Entertainment and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. These groundbreaking technologies combine with Havoc physics to create gameplay and the Force like it's never been seen or experienced before.

Customer Reviews

Good controls, average game As a Star Wars fan, I was eagerly waiting the right moment to buy this game (which came during boxing days) to have the opportunity to swing a virtual lightsaber in my living room. In that aspect, the game has not disappointed me. The controls are very fun to use. On top of the lightsaber, you have several Jedi powers (chocking, moving objects using the force, etc.) I encourage you to complete the tutorials to learn how to use all these powers as the game is much more interesting if you use all of them instead of always going through the same combat routine. As for the game itself, I must admit that I was disappointed. This is not a role playing game, so you do not have any decision to make. The story is original and interesting, but I would have liked to have a bit more interaction with the other characters. Where this game lacks in my opinion is in term of challenge. I am only a casual gamer, so my standards are rather low in terms of game difficulty. But for a game that is action-based, I expected it to be trickier - especially with the bosses. In each of the chapters, you will only encounter 2 or 3 different types of foes, with each using only one combat technique (most of the time they will simply be firing at you). I hope there will be a sequel, using the very interesting controls developed for this game and putting additional efforts in developing the game itself.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed A MUST HAVE FOR A Wii OWNER AND STAR WARS FAN! This game starts you off very powerful, right off the bat! You will begin playing this game as Darth Vader on the Wookie Homeworld of Kashyyyk.

Customer Reviews

Excellent service! Rapidité de la livraison et du service. Rien à redire. Je vais revenir à titre de client. Merci Stéphane Bouchard.

watch out for the guitar build quality This is by all means a great game. There are a two things, however, to watch out for: 1) early versions of the game were released with only mono sound. This won't make any difference to those who use their TV only for sound but if you have a surround sound system hooked up to your console, it means that you will only get sound from your center channel. This is a significant detraction from the game. Luckily, Activision is starting a disc repalcement program where you can send your disc in for one with a fixed dolby capability. The unfortunate thing is that you have to ship your game off and wait for the new one to arrive which means you can't play for a while while it's en route. 2) the build quality on these guitars is not the greatest. I have used three different les paul guitars and they all varied in terms of quality. One worked fine throughout, one had a whammy bar that flopped around loosely right out of the box, and the last one had a defective strum bar mechanism. When I'd strum down, the force of the bar returning to position caused another strum in the opposite direction. This meant that every strum would result in an error in your playing in game songs. According to my local game shop, this is a common problem with these guitars and they get a lot of warranty returns for this issue. Otherwise, this game is a ton of fun and about the closest you can get to the feel of playing in a real band. ROCK ON! Great Game -- Terrible Price OK, it is a great game, but come on! I can't believe they are charging for a game!! "9 used & new available from CDN$ 178.99" The Wii system itself isn't much more than that! Bring the price down to $50.

Prolly won't get used much Bought this to play Mario Kart 64... and having played the updated Wii version, I'm not sure the old controller is really worthwhile - especially considering you need one controller per person.

A must have for those who were born in the 80's or earlier This controller is pretty much a SNES controller with 2 analog sticks. It's a must have for 99% of the games on the Virtual Console right now. The controller is very well built and responsive. The only problem I have with it is the wire is coming out of the bottom and it should be coming out of the top, if the wire was out of the top it would get a 5/5, but I can only give it a 4/5 the way it is.

Un must La wii zapper augmente considérablement la qualité de jeu de combat tel COD WAW ou autres.... À se procurer!

just arrived i just got the wii zapper and link crossbow. played it once. loved it. will play again and again. cant wait to try other games compatible with the zapper. FUN

Excellent gun and game. I have to admit, I bought the Wii in no small part for the gun games. Links Crossbow Training seemed to fit the bill, including the Wii zapper and game. I just played through it the first time, and it's quite fun! If you're looking for a classic light gun game, you'll find a bit of that here, but it's definitely more than that. Basically in every level there's 3 sections: The first is a classic shooting gallery, where you are confined to the one screen. Light gun fans will like this one. Link is in a variety of locations (including one riding on the horse), and you just aim and shoot at the targets that pop up. The second section is similar to the first, but instead of targets you'll be shooting monsters, and link can now turn left and right by pointing the gun at the edge of the screen. The third part is the free-roam section, where you now use the analogue stick to walk link around, while aiming and shooting at monsters. You'll also fight a couple bosses in the later stage. The game is heavily rewarded for accuracy. For every target you hit, the multiplier goes up, and if you miss one shot (or a monster attacks you), your multiplier is gone. So while it's fun to be trigger-happy, if you want to earn the medals you'll have to focus on accuracy. In addition to just shooting at the required targets, you can shoot environmental objects such as pots and skulls,and by holding the trigger you can even charge up your crossbow, releasing an exploding shot that has a blast radius. You can also zoom with your nunchuck button, which is a cool feature for those targets far away. Overall this is a worthwhile addition to your Wii. It's over pretty fast, but has some replay value for the high scores. The multiplayer is alright, you basically challenge your friends for high scores in any of the levels from single player. It would've been nice to see simultaneous play, but a pass-the-zapper is better than nothing. The peripheral works perfectly for this game and feels great, and while it's better than a bare remote for other light gun games (like house of the dead), a standard pistol attachment would probably be better, since the nunchuck is not needed. (NOTE: Because you can't align the crosshair horizontally in this game, you'll want to put the Wii sensor EXACTLY in the middle of the screen, this will ensure where you point your zapper will be where Link shoots. You can then adjust the vertical alignment and sensitivity in the options.)

Amazon.com Wii Sports Resort is a new collection of fun sports games that anyone can pick up and play.

This sequel to the popular Wii Sports makes use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible.

Just as with Wii Sports, people will love competing against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players will find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a console role-playing game (RPG) for Sony's PlayStation 2. Chronologically the sixth installment in the Persona series, Persona 4 is a suspenseful countryside murder mystery with multiple twists and turns in the plot that will have you guessing all the way to the end.

game play and style are similar to Persona 3, but there are plenty of new twists and additions. View larger.

Myth and Occult Mixed with Contemporary Japan Megami Tensei was originally based on the novel series Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani. A major franchise in the RPG genre, MegaTen games take place in the contemporary or near-future Japan, mixing occult and cyberpunk elements. The games feature mythological references from multiple mythologies, and the player is often asked to make moral or philosophical choices that affect the game's storyline and ending.

The silent male protagonist who represents the player in Persona 4 attends Yasogami High School with Chie, Yosuke, and Yukiko. His entire personality and name is decided and portrayed by the player's in-game actions and decisions. He wields two-handed sword type weapons, but unlike Persona 3, he doesn't use alternative weapons.

Mysterious Murders Abound Persona 4 takes place in a rural town named Inaba where mysterious murders occur whenever there is fog after heavy rain. The town has a television channel that airs only at midnight called Mayonaka TV, during which it is said that one can see their "other half" while staring at the screen. After hearing about a recent unsolved murder, some characters realize that they had witnessed the murder victim while watching Mayonaka TV.

The protagonist discovers that during midnight when the channel is on, his body can phase into his television set, using the set as a gateway to another world infested with shadows. Mayonaka TV and the town murders seem so connected that it's possible that the victims may in fact victims of Mayonaka TV itself. The characters decide to solve the mysterious murders by exploring the hidden world of Mayonaka TV.

Brand-New Yet Familiar game play Persona 4's game play and style are similar to the popular Persona 3. Players familiar with Persona 3 will quickly recognize the social links and dungeon crawling game play, as well as the engine itself. The battles also have some similarities, such as the One More system, All-out attack, and the AI controlled support characters.

However, unlike Persona 3, characters can be set to take commands from the player, new glasses allow characters to see through the heavy mist inside Mayonaka TV, and tarot cards can be shattered to summon the characters' respective Persona. Other changes include an increase in player stats from three to five, and the removal of health status, allowing players to explore dungeons continuously.

Let the Action Begin Battle-wise, Persona 4 lets you directly control the actions of other party members and continually exploit an enemy's weakness. Post-battle card shuffles have added Arcana Chance, which bring you good or bad status depending on the Arcana. Battles now occur after school instead of at midnight, like in Persona 3, giving the player less time in which to do social activities. This turns out to be significant because Social Links now have a greater effect on battle.

At higher levels, the player's allies progress from occasionally protecting the protagonist from a deathblow, through occasionally offering follow-up attacks, to eventually allow the persona of the corresponding ally to evolve into another persona. And persona can retain or even lose weaknesses and can be immune to certain kind of magic attacks. All allies who have their corresponding Social Link levels maxed out now have a chance to survive an otherwise fatal attack, leaving them with one remaining HP.

Customer Reviews

Persona 4 takes everything great about Persona 3 and improves upon it Great game. Interesting and emotional story. A fun and memorable cast of characters. Full of comedy, suspense, action and mystery. Easy to grasp combat system (a little repetitive at times). A bit challenging, even on easier difficulties. Social Links are a blast! If you are a fan of character-development, this might be your cup of tea. The (english) voice-acting is well done. Improved game play over Persona 3. The graphics are decent. I like the art-style and presentation. Lots of side quests. 70+ hours of game play. You are getting your money's worth. Persona 4 is an amazing experience from start to climatic end. RPG fan or not, I would highly recommend it to anyone. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

Amazing game I wasn't familiar the Persona series but I liked this one so much that I bought every other persona game.

An excellent swan song for a great system. Persona 4 is, to be brief, a masterpiece. Unlike the majority of RPG's with a "Save the Kingdom/World from the evil supervillain" storyline, Persona 4 strives for something original. A murder mystery set in a small Japanese town has the police baffled. Only you and your friends have the power to see through the fog surrounding the mystery and find the true killer. * Gameplay is a wonderful mix of RPG turn-based battles and "Relationship Building". Meet and become friends with an eclectic cast. As these relationships strengthen, so too do your powers within the game. * Original Story with several twists, and several different endings, depending upon your actions in the game. * Artistically beautiful (although somewhat linear) level design, and equally beautiful enemy design. * 60-90 hour story, with a new game plus upon completion. * Wonderful voice acting, accompanied by great writing. This game is probably the most over-looked game released in 2008, but if you are a fan of RPG's do yourself a favour and try out Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.ca Product Description Get ready to take on the full strength of the Helghast war machine from a dramatic first-person perspective with Killzone 2 for PS3. From Guerilla Games, this much anticipated follow-up to Killzone for PS2 and Killzone: Liberation for PSP drops you right into the boots of battle hardened special forces soldier Sev. Set two years after the aborted Helghast assault on Vekta, the action opens with your ISA Legion squad deployed behind enemy lines on the Helghan's unforgiving home turf.

Motion blurs and studio-grade special

effects bring battle to life. View larger.

First-person viewpoints and 7.1 surround

sound keep you immersed. View larger.

Realistic lighting and detailed environments

add a cinematic quality. View larger.

Smooth animation and improved AI give

the Helghans a terrifying, realistic

presence. View larger.

Combat Lifelike AI and Inhospitable Terrain Despite the smooth character animations and swift-thinking AI behind each individual Helghan, their planet itself may be the most deceptive opponent that you face. Unlike other game environments that serve as nothing more than a visual backdrop, the devastating Helghan climate takes a notable toll. And, worst of all, the Helghans know exactly how to use the planet against you.

The in-your-face perspective comes to life as you take aim with exotic new weapons and mainstays from the previous games, including the M82-G assault rifle. And you can now drive an array of rugged, sometimes strange, vehicles that expand the gruesome possibilities of war.

Guerilla Technology in a Terrifying, Realistic World Guerrilla's unique visuals and deferred rendering technology ensure that even the ugliest situations on Helghan are beautifully lit. Ambient occlusion and accurate shadow casting from a variety of light sources combine with gritty textures, detailed environments, and studio-grade special effects to help complete the realistic, Hollywood experience of this first-person shooter.

Real-time cutscenes, full-screen anti-aliasing, motion blurs, and internal lens reflections all bring you into the fold and work to maximize the hardware capabilities of the PS3. And the audio experience is no less impressive. 7.1 surround sound capability lend a truly dynamic sound element to your experience, while audio occlusion with wave tracing means that you can hear the difference between indoor and outdoor firefights.

Chaotic Multiplayer Drama Online While single-player mode lets you take on the unique challenges of 11 fully developed levels, online play lets you engage with up to 32 players at a time, bringing the gritty, realistic chaos of war to a whole new level.

Other multi-player friendly enhancements in Killzone 2 include in-game clan management, a match wagering system, and the ability to integrate new information and track friends and enemies with the community at Killzone.com.

Customer Reviews

Great graphics, story lacking Killzone 2 is a strong follow-up to Killzone on PS2. It has an excellent multiplayer experience with a lot variety of game style, and a solid user base that makes finding a 48 player game easy. The single player mode is fun, and encourages you to play through in a couple of days (14 hrs was how long it took me), but I question replay value. One issue was the lack of a strong story. If you are a multiplayer fan, than this is going to be one of the best games for you on the PS3. If you are buying for the single player campaign - RENT IT.

The FPS to get on the PS3 If you like Shooter and Action, Killzone2 is THE Best Shooter on the PS3. Single player campaign is very good and immersing. Multiplayer is a blast with its classes and badge system. if you're hesitating, don't, you won't regret your choice. :)

BEST GAME OF THE YEAR There are only a few words to rate this game. It is nearly flawless. The only thing I feel is the game is too short. I want it more.

Synopsis Ten years after Japan withdrew from the U.N., cut their ties with all the nations of the Earth, and built an impenetrable electromagnetic field to prevent any outsiders from entering their borders, a high-tech American commando unit is dispatched on an unofficial mission to penetrate the shield surrounding the country and gather information about their highly advanced robotics program. The year is 2077, and Japan has been accused of conducting illegal robotics research. As a result, the leaders of Japan have decided to construct a massive electromagnetic field known as RACE to prevent any further meddling in their domestic affairs. Meanwhile, back in the United States, an elite commando unit dubbed SWORD launches a surprise attack on a powerful Nipponese conglomerate known as Daiwa Heavy Industries and nearly captures primary android Saito (voice of Akio Otsuka). The leader of SWORD is fearless commando Vexille (voice of Meisa Kuroki), and though she may have failed to capture Saito Vexille is determined to succeed at her team's next mission. American intelligence has gathered that Daiwa has recently made substantial advancements in the realm of robotics, and despite the difficulty of breaching Japan's borders they are determined to learn these valuable trade secrets. In order to make this happen, Vexille and her boyfriend Leon (voice of Shosuke Tanihara}) will have seventy-two hours to lead their team into Japan, gather the information on Daiwa's robotics program, and get out. It's a secret mission that hasn't been officially sanctioned by the U.S. government, but could benefit that current leaders and politicians greatly. But once in Japan Vexille is separated from the group, and quickly discovers that Saito has been awaiting their arrival. Upon awakening in a barrio-like district that was once the capital of Japan, Vexille quickly teams with resistance fighter Maria (voice of Yasuko Matsuyuki) - a former girlfriend of Leon's who also harbors a growing grudge against Daiwa. Later, after Vexille gathers the necessary resources and locates the rest of her team, she, Leon, and Maria lead a daring attack on Daiwa's artificial, offshore fortress. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

Vexing agent It doesn't come as a huge surprise that "Vexille" is from the people who brought the world "Appleseed" and its even better sequel "Appleseed Ex Machina." The CGI look, the cyberpunk flavor, the big mecha, and the futuristic world full of political and technological conflict are all firmly in place, along with some pretty slam-bang action sequences and a darker, grittier feeling. While it lacks some character development and feels rather bleak at times, it's still a pretty entertaining story -- if only it fleshed out the main cast a little more. About seventy years in the future, the American tech police known as SWORD are sent into Japan to find out if the isolated country has been doing illegal robotics research. They aren't, and the movie ends there. No, seriously, they are, and all the SWORD agents are killed except for Vexille and her boyfriend. Moreover, Vexille finds that the once-proud Japan is ruled over by the evil Daiwa Corporation, which wanted to experiment with robotics, biotech and so forth. Now it is barely more than a mass slum. Even worse, a nanotech "vaccine" has reduced its inhabitants to mindless husks. Vexille's only hope of saving herself -- and her lover Leon -- is to join forces with a small band of rebels. Those hoping for another "Appleseed" will probably be quite disappointed with "Vexille" -- the colorful, sparkling "utopias" of those two movies are not to be found in this one. Instead "Vexille" seems to be aiming at a darker, grimier aesthetic, with a more complex plot full of political machinations and some fairly hefty moral questions as well. It's a pretty amazing spectacle -- action-packed fights, nanotech leviathans, and a small-scale apocalyptic finale, rendered in detailed, fast-moving CGI animation. And there's a certain element of horror when we see the devastated Japan, and what its inhabitants have been turned into by the nanotech. Call it a warning about how far you take technology, much as in the recent "Appleseed Ex Machina." And the animation is pretty astounding. While it has an oddly rotoscoped look, it's still detailed and gloriously vivid. And that includes details like snowflakes being individually swept from a windshield, or the inner glow of a gem -- or even a smooth-skinned, nimble mecha exploding into a building. This glorious look almost makes up for the stretches of relatively action-free plot. Perhaps its biggest weakness is in the characterization. It feels like they put a lot of effort into creating lifelike-looking characters. But despite some moments of spunkiness from Vexille, with her bubblegum and her gritty determination, the characters never quite come alive. The best-rounded character is probably Maria, the tragic rebel leader who also provides a little romantic tension for our elf-faced heroine. "Vexille" is a flawed little semiprecious gem -- it's not the best "lifelike" anime movie, but its plot and artwork have enough style and substance to be worth the watch.

Balls to the wall action I looked this movie up on youtube first. It looked alright! and the comments were pretty good too. So I placed my order. A week later I recieved it. I looked at the box and it said "Balls-to-the-all-action" I laughed at it and said "what ever". 20 mins later..I was against the wall. Vexille is an awesome movie. I cannot give it five stars because it's not Transformers ;)

Amazon.ca Product Description Fire Emblem returns to its roots with a total overhaul of an NES™ classic never before released in America. New features include touch-screen controls, multiple save options and easy-to-follow tutorial chapters that shed new light on Marth's story. New players can jump into the action, even if they've never played a Fire Emblem game before. Take the battle online and clash with players around the world over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You can also borrow units to use in your army, talk with friends using the built-in Nintendo DS microphone and even buy rare and powerful items from the Online Shop using in-game currency. You are the general: Shape your army to suit your strategy by selecting from dozens of characters with unique spells and abilities. But guide your army wisely, because if a character falls on the battlefield, he's lost forever. Game storyline: Medeus, the king of the dragonkin, has been revived and is forming an alliance with a fearsome sorcerer named Gharnef. Together, they threaten to the throw the entire continent of Archanea back to an age of chaos and war. Now, it's up to young Prince Marth and his small band of loyal followers to rise up and rally all those left in the land to make one last desperate push to free Archanea from the tyranny of the Shadow Dragon. How to progress through the game: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy setting. Players alternate turns with opponents, moving their pieces (units) and attacking enemy units on the battlefield. There are dozens of units and different weapons and magic spells, each with its own strategic benefits-high-flying Pegasus knights move effortlessly over varied terrain, fast-moving mounted cavaliers can use swords and lances, unarmed curates use healing staves to mend the wounds of other units and so on. Characters: Many groups play a part in a story but undoubtedly the story's protagonist, Prince Marth, will be the focus for most. Marth has been featured in the Super Smash Bros. series and has been extremely popular within those games, but this is his first time starring in a Fire Emblem game in the United States. At Marth's side is a support of fearless fighters, including the brave Caeda, a princess of the Talys kingdom. Other major characters include the evil sorcerer Gharnef and the sole surviving descendant of the royal House Archanea, Princess Nyna. Special Features: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is the first to offer players a chance to test their skills against other players in combat. Using your broadband connection, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and wireless play modes, players are able to send units they've trained into battle against those of another player. Collect optional cards to give your team a unique tactical bonus that can help you clench victory. During Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection matches, friends can talk to each other using the built-in Nintendo DS microphone. Touch-screen controls, multiple save options and an easy-to-follow tutorial allow novice players to jump into the action, even if they've never played a Fire Emblem game before. Borrow units wirelessly or through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and use them in your own battles with the Loan Unit feature. Six levels of difficulty ensure that even seasoned players can find a challenge in this new entry into the Fire Emblem series. Purchase rare and powerful items using the gold you've acquired during your single-player campaign with the Online Shop feature. You never know what items you might come across, because new items rotate in and out of the armory on a daily basis. Play through the events that brought Marth to the beginning of his quest through a new set of prologue chapters that were specially added to the game for its Nintendo DS release.

Customer Reviews

Solid strategy game This title is probably the most underwhelming Fire Emblem available in North America. There's a huge stable of characters, maybe too many--you'll find that you'll end up sticking with probably less than half of those, and the other half will remain undeveloped and thus useless in later chapters. This is the first Fire emblem I played where the archers are useless--movement limitation will make them last to arrive at a battle, which makes them hard to develop. The class change feature is nice, but switching will set you back in terms of weapon skill. Though I spent about 20hrs in the game (to finish it in normal mode), it felt short--likely because the story was very ho-hum: "bad dragon takes over the world, yawn, you must save the world"--uninspired, linear. There are no subtleties here and you get the feeling they tacked on the story just to justify pushing you through the campaign. There's not enough story here to make you care for the characters, the dialogue is awkward (feels like the source was a teen using medieval sounding words) a bit too heavy on the drama; hard to swallow, and you'll likely end up skipping through it to get to the battles. Graphics-wise, it looks no better than the first Fire Emblem on the GBA from years ago. It's disappointing that the stats boosting pairing of characters introduced in the Wii title Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is not present here, and I don't see the excuse for it; it's the sort of thing that does not depend on the consoles' capabilities. Why give it 4 stars then? This is still a very solid strategy game, of good length, and with some replay value (you can go back and do it again with a different "team" of characters should you like). I'm tempted to unwrap a copy I have of GBA's Fire Emblem Sacred Stones --supposedly a better game; but I've caught the collector's bug and can't quite get myself to do so, especially after seeing the average asking price for brand new copies more than double in about half a year. How silly is that?

Cross Edge is the result of an unprecedented collaboration between five major Japanese game publishers. Nippon Ichi Software, Capcom, Namco Bandai, Gust, and Idea Factory have joined forces to create a Strategy RPG unlike any other and exclusive to PlayStation 3.

View larger.

Cross Edge features characters and storylines from popular franchises including: Darkstalkers, Disgaea, Mana Khemia, and Spectral Souls. Cross Edge is action-packed with memorable characters, amazing items, and over-the-top battles to deliver an once-in-a-lifetime gaming experience.

Story The story of Cross Edge follows the adventures of hero and heroine York Neely and Miki Aiba. Awaking in a strange world, they are soon sought out by a little girl named May. She tells them that the world around them was created from souls gathered from other worlds and that if this stealing of souls from other places does not stop, sooner or later those other places--that is reality--will disappear forever. To stop this from happening they will have to defeat this new world's evil master by releasing all the souls now confined to his nightmare world. To do this they will need all the special abilities that they possess, as well as the help they will gain from others that they meet on their travels.

Gameplay Cross Edge is a traditional Japanese role-playing game complete with world map, random battles, level grinding, item combining/creation using alchemy, etc. It also features heroes and villains from game franchises published by Gust, Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Namco Bandai and Idea Factory. As players set about freeing the trapped souls supporting the nightmare world that they are stuck in, they engage in turn-based team battles. This is where the characters from previous games come in. Players must enlist them to join in party-based battles. Success in these battles is based on the ability to string together specific moves into chain attack sequences, which in turn unlock even stronger combinations when successful. Players can also increase their characters' stats and abilities by acquiring additional costumes called 'forms' and redressing their characters in them. Female characters physical appearances can also be changed based on the form they're wearing.

The goal of the game is to release souls. You can find and collect souls by searching around area maps. Exposure to souls can grant players items or unlock events. Along with soul related events, maps will also point players to other helpful locations such as event points, points at which other events may occur, and save points, where you can save your game as well as buy, sell and trade items.

Key Features

● Cross Edge combines classic RPG combat with a grid-based Strategy RPG combat to create a hybrid battle system. In combat, a square grid will appear beneath the units. Some units are better at close combat and others at a distance, so players must strategically move their units to battle enemies.

● In combat, some units can toss up enemies and chain combo various moves for extra damage, like in a fighting game.

● By using characters from Gust titles, players can use alchemy to craft weapons.

● Change costumes to increase character’s stats and abilities, and in some cases revealing cut scenes.

● Explore dungeons to run, jump and attack.● Cross Edge is bilingual. Players have the option to choose between English

or Japanese voiceovers.● Add to your PlayStation trophy collection as you play through the game.

The Story Wylfred was only a boy when his father was killed in battle and the valkyrie Lenneth claimed his soul. Although this is the ultimate glory for a warrior, it also sealed the fate of Wylfred's family. Adrift in a dangerous world, without his father Wylfred's family soon experienced the ravages of poverty and eventual tragedy. Embittered by these agonies Wylfred's journey to manhood was fueled by dreams of revenge against the valkyrie, but it is not until he agrees to a bargain with Queen Hel for the 'Destiny Plume,' which was shed from Lenneth's wings and found near the corpse of his father, that he is given a chance to exact it. But to stand against Lenneth he must, like his father before him, become a warrior worthy of the attention of the gods and their messengers. The world around Wylfred is aflame with the chaos of war, which is just the situation that he needs to accumulate the glory that the gods desire and draw the attention of the valkyrie. To the valiant she comes, and so to the battlefield he goes. Destiny awaits.

Gameplay Gameplay in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume revolves around players, in the role of Wylfred, engaging in a series of strategy/role-playing quests and battles throughout the land designed to level up your character. Through in-game conversations with the 20+ available allies, players assemble a group of up to four members to engage in these battles, as well as gather items and upgrade inventory for each when and where available. Once an enemy is engaged, action is turn-based, with the members of your quest possessing limited movement indicated by colored squares. Although individual characters can feasibly carry out successful attacks, battle is designed with group combat in mind, so positioning of your team within ideal striking distance of an enemy during a single turn is important. Attacking as a group not only yields more hits as each team member strikes in turn, but if timed correctly these successive blows max out a player's attack gauge, unleashing Soul Crush, powerful special moves that quickly finish off enemies with startling force. This overwhelming power is measured in Overkill and equated as Sin. Building up as much of this as possible is important due to the deal that Wylfred makes with Queen Hel, which stipulates that each progressive battle will entail a set amount of Sin. Battles won without generating the necessary amount of Sin result in a penalty of much more difficult future battles. An additional game feature that allows for maximum damage which should be strategically planned, is the careful use of the Destiny Plume. Players can grant the plume to an ally, which instills unstoppable power in that character for a limited time and assigns special abilities to Wylfred which he retains, but at the cost of the ally's life for the remainder of the game. To be mortal is to suffer, but are the gods beyond suffering a mortal's revenge? It all depends on your choices in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.

Key Game Features:

● Brand New Storyline Perspective - Follow Wylfred's darker story of seeking his revenge on Lenneth Valkyrie.

● New Gameplay Siege Dynamic - Experience how the characters actively support each other in Sieges and gain greater skills and fighting advantages in the Active Formation system.

● New Attacks ❍ Soul Crush - Powerful attacks that can be performed when players

max out their attack gauge.❍ Overkill - Attack enemies once they are defeated to accumulate Sin.

● Ultimate Replayability - Discover multiple possible story endings as you decide the fate of your allies, with results that will change the course of the game.

● Dynamic Dual Screen Presentation - Experience a beautifully rendered 3D world.

● Seraphic Gate - Battle formidable foes as you recruit new allies in an unlockable bonus dungeon.

● Over 20 possible allies to enlist.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.ca Product Description Adding to Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, the epic saga continues with Halo 3, the amazingly anticipated sequel to the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise. In this third chapter of the Halo trilogy, Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.

Get ready. The Chief is

back.

HDR lighting, self-shadowing, and

more make Halo 3 look and feel

realistic. View larger.

Mystery abounds with the return

of Cortana. View larger.

Earth is conquered. The Covenant

is everywhere. Halo 3 promises to

be an epic journey. View larger.

Game developer Bungie announced that Halo 3 will be released for Microsoft's Xbox 360 sometime in 2007. The game was revealed to the world at the Microsoft press conference held at Grauman's

Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA in May 2006. To gamer's delight, the announcement was a complete surprise. The rumors have been abound for the past year, as everyone wondered when the next installment would be ready. Bungie and Microsoft did a stellar job keeping their lips sealed, and fans benefited from their first glimpse of the hallowed third and final installment.

The short presentation was delivered in real-time on the Xbox 360 using the current version of the Halo 3 game engine. That's right, no studio production video, Bungie and Microsoft delivered the real deal: what they showed at the announcement is what gamers will see when they play Halo 3 in 2007. The HDR lighting, self-shadowing, GPU-run particle system and many other effects are rumored to show up in full effect in the final game. Needless to say, the gaming community is salivating.

CJ Cowan, Bungie's director of cinematics discussed one of the most startling moments of the presentation: the return of Cortana. "Given the variety of character and story arcs at the end of Halo 2, we wanted to boil down our announcement to a few key threads. Cortana and the Chief being a galaxy apart is a situation we haven't seen before, and is something that is a powerful component to Halo 3. We are using her transmissions in the demo to give the viewer a few subtle clues to her situation and state of mind, without revealing any specifics we want to save for the game itself."

Graphically, the game closely follows in the tradition of Halo 2, although it has been upgraded to take advantage of the Xbox 360's more prodigious visual abilities. As art direct Marcus Lehto explained, "[The presentation] was intended to be an understated announcement of Halo 3 -- the tone is that of mystery and suspense -- the calm before the storm. I wanted to make sure that we reintroduced the Chief, showed that Earth was thoroughly conquered, with Covenant everywhere, and that there is a glorious, ancient artifact buried under the Earth's crust which will provide Halo 3 with the epic journey which we all want."

Taking full advantage of the power of Xbox 360, Halo 3 expands on everything that has made the franchise great, adding a wealth of technical and gameplay advancements. The game design has evolved with next-generation, high-definition visuals, enhanced A.I., an advanced real-time lighting engine, and, of course, new weapons, characters, and challenges. Halo 3 promises an unparalleled first-person shooter experience and, in the end, the most compelling and engrossing story in the franchise's history. Last, but certainly not least, Halo 3 builds upon the unique social multiplayer experience and innovative, evolving online gameplay of Halo 2. Rest assured, you'll still be able to run with your clan and battle with (or against) your buddies from coast to coast.

Customer Reviews

Halo 3 A must have for any Xbox 360 owner. Addicting multiplayer, co-op campaign, and much more. Lots of DLC for Halo 3, and there is still more coming. New weapons, maps, ect. You dont need to buy the limited edition of this game to get any exclusive DLC content.

Finish the Fight! Halo 3 is a great sci-fi/horror first person shooter that is based on three main combat components: shooting, melee attacks and grenades. The campaign is great, the universe rich and consistent, the story compelling. It is even better in co-op. But what makes Halo 3 really special is its Multiplayer experience. Varied gametypes, useful True Skill system matching you up with people of comparable experience, great maps, hundreds of thousands of people online at all times... it's totally excellent. A great game that provides hours and hours of entertainment. Well worth the price and the hype, if you ask me.

Bad Game My older bros. have this game but i think people get excited over nothing. Wii games are better and you can just complete Halo 3 in two days. All you do is going around killing freaky alien dudes.

Worth the buy? Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter My most wanted thing with my xbox, but is it worth the money i payed (79$) well what to start with, i received this product yesterday, and it looked just as new, and just as great as the pictures (slim design, really small, short cord small antenna-all for the sleek cool view.) Now many of you may be wondering "does it really work as well as it should" or many other things but im here to help, so lets start with the pros. and head to the conns. PROS (the good stuff) -well the product had amazing looks, great condition as well. -setup was easier than i expected, just plug in, let it detect your wireless receiver then it connects by itself, took 2m then it was off to gaming. -it worked from a good range (it detected my neighbors Internets sooo...haha yea-dont get any ideas) but inside house my conection was green to my router, and it worked well in that way. -"is it any slower than an actual internet cord?"-the anwser to that, well to me, was no, it seemed to run as fast or better than my internet cord that i had attached before, in general it hasn't crashed once, hasn't done anything funky, and no problems yet detected. CONS (the bad stuff....) -well only thing I have noticed that isn't that great about this product...is the price, as it does nearly reach 100 dollars. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CHOICE-MAKE IT RIGHT, MAKE IT SIMPLE, MAKE IT WORK. xbox 360 wireless network adapter review by RICHARD FLEMING.

This is a must for any live player. I'm so happy to have gotten the wireless adapter. No more plugging and unplugging wires constantly, no more moving my 360 to the computer room for a plug and play. It receives signals without qualms and has made me switch to a gold membership to xbox live. It is a bit pricy, but well worth it.

Resident Evil 5 From Capcom






Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #98 in Computer & Video Games ● Brand: Capcom● Model: 33010● Published on: 2009-03● Released on: 2009-03-13● ESRB Rating: Mature● Platform: Xbox 360● Number of items: 1● Dimensions: .54" h x 5.42" w x 7.51" l, .33 pounds

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.ca Product Description Experience the thrill and terror all over again with Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360. Featuring Chris Redfield of the original Resident Evil and Sheva Alomar, a West African agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this sci-fi survival game is staged in a remote desert colony packed with hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking enemies that represent a whole new breed of evil.

Cooperative game play options let you take

teamwork to a new level. View larger.

Dramatic graphics and lighting effects add

a realistic edge to your mission. View

Move through vast environments that have

a discernable impact on game play. View

larger.

You'll face faster enemies backed by

improved AI. View larger.

Meet Two Fierce, Playable Main Characters Back from the original title and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, former S.T.A.R.S. special forces team member Redfield is a battle-tested, founding member of the BSAA. With a reputation for superior marksmanship and phenomenal hand-to-hand combat abilities, he's on the ground and up against a new strain of evil.

You'll call his shots from the same over-the-shoulder third person viewpoint that distinguished Resident Evil 4, except this time you'll also have the option of playing as his teammate, the fierce, local Alomar. Whoever you play as, updates to the earlier version's third-person control scheme offer more options and promise intuitive interactions.

Learn to Work Together The new cooperative game play element focuses on the realities of a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while still allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you

maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when picking a partner.

Steel yourself Against the Harsh Reality of Kijuju An advanced version of Capcom's proprietary MT Framework game engine brings groundbreaking graphics and effects to Kijuju, the highly-developed environment where this game's action takes place. New, lifelike lighting schemes highlight the differences between harsh sunlight and extreme darkness, and when you move from one to the other, you'll have to wait for your character's eyes to adjust before you can see clearly, adding to the suspense and challenge of navigating this game's environs.

Face the Next Generation of Evil You'll face new enemies with faster reflexes and improved AI, designed to be as dangerous alone as they are in groups and to keep even Resident Evil masters on their toes. Thankfully, they're not the only ones who have evolved. This game also offers access to powerful new weapons variations that extend your destructive capabilities.

And the updated, quick-select inventory system allows for real-time inventory management, as well as allowing characters to trade items and allowing you to place an item on the directional pad for instant access. Add all this to a detailed storyline the touches on what the past ten years have meant for Redfield and a Hollywood-caliber soundtrack, and it's clear that the latest installment in this series really does showcase all the elements at the heart of horror gaming.

Customer Reviews

Awesome! Awesome game, good story line. Overall play time was short but other than that no complaints.

RE:5 is going to be AWESOME Im sure im not alone when I say ive been waiting for this game to come out for a long time. I seen video footage of this game at the E3 Gaming Expo two years ago and my mouth has been watering ever since. Ive been keeping up to date on all the info released on this game and video footage which im glad to say still looks as good if not better then the original rendered footage from two years ago, Ive recently downloaded the demo for this on the Xbox 360 and I must say its very fun, I was alittle disappointed that they didnt change the aiming in the game as per previous Resident Evil games when you aim your weapon your stationary and cant move while aiming which wasnt a big deal in the past but now with high pace games like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 & 5 and Gears of War 2, I wanted to be able to move while aiming, it would just feel better (More Natural), I downloaded a video on the game on my 360 recently and found that they actually made it an option to be able to move while aiming and now im apsolutly pumped for this game.... the co-op in this game looks unmatched and the online should be fun, im buying this game for the 360 so my friends and I can play together, Ive already purchased mine online and I highly recommend you do the same you wont be disapointed!!!

Play the demo!-Read real reviews! You know I have a hard time using reviews when some dude leaves a short review that is poorly rated, you may have had good reason to rate it low but tell us a little more why or it is mostly based on your preferences. I also have a hard time using reviews when people rate it 5/5 and proclaim it as being "great" When they too haven t played the game. Maybe the main story is short, who knows but calling people names isn't cool(pretty childish...people are entitled to their opinions). I played this with some buddies and a couple of them didn't like it so much, a couple of them did. That doesn't make the people who don't like it idiots. I just say try it for yourself and read the reviews(not these ones obviously!) {1} will this game be good...yah probably(probably get rated between 8.0-10.0...will it be great?...only time will tell. {2}it is hard to find out what exactly comes with the collectors edition that is worth an extra 30$( i was hoping old res evil games) {3}"in the end many sections of RE5 are much like what is shown in the downloadable demo" ign.com-so yes the demo is a good taste of what the game is and probably just a shorter version. the first review may have been correct in regards to being co-op oriented game. The review even goes on to say "it's so clear that this is a game not meant to be played alone."ign.com {4}IGN review also says that the AI, options and control of your partner is slightly limited in this game, making it a better co-op game when you have a friend to rely on. {5} apparently there will be more action in vehicles...SWEET! {6}Read the review and find others..see if you like what they say and YES! this game is primarily a co-op survival game...It appears that you have a partner that you must interact with and survive with throughout the survival campaign.

360 Controller I haven't tried the second controller I ordered yet, but the first one the right bumper doesn't work a lot of the time. You have to press it at a certain angle. I kind of wish I had just bought one from the store.

Works great Love the Xbox360 controllers. Great feel to them and easy to get connected as a second controller.

Same old controller as the first one, just black. Nothing different here - the same quality controller you'd find if you purchased the white one. XBOX 360 controllers are very comfortable and aren't a hassle to use like the original XBOX was. To connect the controller to your 360, hold in the XBOX guide button on the front and the four quadrants will blink then the one that you are assigned to (player 1 if nobody else is playing) will just light up.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

The Cold War goes Next-Gen

Welcome to the nation's capital.

Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a

life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

Customer Reviews

Very Full Experience Fallout 3 is a very massive game. Bought this game a month ago and 80 hours later (and I tried to find time to play everyday), I finished pretty much all the main mission quest and the side missions. Now I just started my second time through the story with a female character who's going to be a complete jerk. If you have never played a fallout game before (this is the 3rd one in case the "3" in the title didn't give it away), don't let it stop you. This is my first experience with the Fallout series and I gotta say that it has me hooked and I am looking forward to getting the "Broken Steel" DLC on the X360 that's supposed to be released sometime in May 2009 (and I normally do not buy DLCs) and the big Fallout:New Vegas release next year. This game also made me curious on how big the Fallout universe is and it's pretty darn interesting that's for sure (google for "Fallout wiki" if you want to know more). WOW pretty much sums up my experience for this game.

Fallout 3 this game is amazing. great graphics, amazing story and astounding gameplay. a must have for anyone who can get it, xbox, ps3 and pc

Simply Stunning This has to be the best, most consuming RPG that I have every encountered. You will find yourself spending entirely too much time with this one.

Customer Reviews

Truly an amazing, immersive experience! Gaming was soon reaching the end of the line for me, before this magnificient remote was introduced. Never before have I considered the possibilities of motion control in video games. One step closer to true virtual reality, the mighty "WiiMote" can be held in your hand like a TV remote, and deftly becomes your sword, your paintbrush, your wand, your tennis racket, baseball bat, or golf club! Turn it sideways and it quickly becomes a configuration you know and love, it becomes your typical game pad, or with motion control technology, even a steering wheel that responds to you turning it like an actual wheel! The Wii Remote is easily the breakthrough of the video game world! My own parents, having not touched videogames in 10 to 12 years, are as we speak enjoying playing tennis, or bowling, or even boxing, all from the comfort of our living room. I highly recommend trying the amazing intuitiveness of the wii remote, and if you enjoy it, pick up a wii at your local retailers! You won't soon regret it!

Great fun The Wii remote is definitely different. You get great interaction with your video games with the remote. Simulating motions such as you would in tennis, golf, baseball, bowling. Even more fun if you are wielding a sword. I will say this..I have not had the controller leave my hand during gameplay. But I have been so immersed in the game that I will creep forward towards the t.v and the sensor for the remote. So every now and then I have to move back. I don't have to over extend my motions when swinging etc. Therefore I have not experienced sore shoulders or anything else first reported when the Wii came out. What I have experienced is a new way to interact with videogames. Even my husband who is not too much into videogames will play more games now. He doesn't have to learn button pressing combos. I own and have owned other consoles, the ps2 is still in the house, so I am new to Nintendo and all its products and games. Now in our house I wait to game with my husband as it is more fun with another. :P

Great controller but keep an hold on it The Wii Mote is a great controller. The base of the Nintendo Wii system. It is wireless and it can act like all kind of things like a baseball bat, steering wheel, golfstick and much much more. You can connect the classic controller and the nunchuck to this controller for even more game pleasure. Just be careful that keep it tight so that it doesn't fly away when you are playing a game!

Amazon.ca Product Description DanceDanceRevolution celebrates its 10th anniversary with DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2, an all-new game DDR game for the Wii. Packed with an entirely new soundtrack, new game modes and interactivity--including the ability to import your Mii on to the dance floor--DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 enhances the series' trademark interactive gameplay by combining the physically engaging, innovative and easy-to-pick-up-and-play mechanics of the Wii platform.

Hand Gestures and New Gimmicks Although loaded all the familiar mat mashing DDR fun, in utilizing the motion sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 also brings new moves to the floor in the form of Hand Gestures and Gimmicks. Hand gestures

require players to keep time to the rhythm of songs, beyond the step pattern they dance to, by shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuck. In effect this adds a third dimension to the traditional front to back/side to side gameplay, resulting in an even more full-body experience. In addition, if players so choose they can also up their difficulty level through Gimmicks. Through these players can briefly alter the game's UI--for example delaying the appearance of on-screen arrows--forcing them to rely on their rhythm instead of screen prompts and in the process pick up major bonuses.

Key Game Features:

● All-new soundtrack includes smash-hits from the last 4 decades as well as Konami originals, boss battle songs and videos.

● Dance mat included with game.

● 1-4 player support.● Cool new modes and

features:❍ Your Mii can now be

incorporated onto the DanceDanceRevolution dance floor.

❍ Brand-New Gimmicks, such as the Minimizer, add to the next evolution in DanceDanceRevolution gameplay.

❍ More Wii mote interaction in the Dance n' Defend Battle Mode where players use Wii mote movements to beat their opponents.

❍ Nonstop dance action with the new Course Mode, various set themed song lists that players dance along to.

❍ Unlock hidden features in the Groove Arena Mode as you battle your way to the top of this new venue.

❍ Learn real dance moves and practice the same routines as the characters from all different angles with the brand new Hottest Training Mode.

❍ All new DanceDanceRevolution characters with new outfits, exclusive to Hottest Party 2.

● Enhanced motion capture will be applied to all characters for increased realism and customization.

● New stages with enhanced effects, with more than 50 unique dance environments.

The New Hottest Training Mode Finally, DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 also includes a new lesson track system. Unlike the tutorial tracks in previous releases that relied heavily on text explanations, here players new to DDR gameplay will enjoy both video and audio encouragement and direction from their own on-screen instructor. As "left,right"…"front, back" etc. are called out all dance floor newbies have to do to place their feet accordingly on the mat and there you have it. You've joined the DanceDance revolution. So, whether you are new to the DDR universe, or a master of the disco ball, get ready to become the life of the party, the Hottest Party, with DanceDanceRevolution Hottest Party 2 for the Wii gaming system.

Customer Reviews

Original DDR Hotest party for wii is better... This game is basically the same as the first. The songs (for me) aren't as fun or memorable. They've also changed the way that the levels are displayed, making it feel as though there are fewer stages to dance on then in the original (maybe in reality that's not the case, I didn't actually count the levels, but it feels like there are fewer levels to play in the "groove circuit" mode). Also the challenges in "groove circuit" mode don't really scale up like they did in the original. It goes from stupidly boring to trivial, easy, still easy, to OMG that's impossible how can I possibly beat this level??. There isn't enough difference between the levels. I still can't figure out how to do the stupid hand signals. I've tried everything I can possibly think of, and I have pretty good timing and rhythm for my age, but no matter what I do I always miss the hand signals. If you like awkwardly flicking your wrists as quickly as you can to get the signals, that's your prerogative. However, it can't possibly be good for your wrists! I give up! I turn off the hand signals completely. I do like how the settings for turning off hand signals actually get saved in this game, so you don't have to keep remembering to turn them off every time you turn on the game. That's one mark in the positive for this game over the original. Having both "hottest party" games to choose from, I would always choose the original over the this game. But since my original game disk is scratched beyond repair I'm forced to stick with this one :(. Maybe after a few more months of dancing to these songs I'll change my tune.

Customer Reviews

S'allright. Though I love actually being able to get a DDR game for the only console that I actually have, Hottest Party is really only good for the casual player. I found it seriously lacked the challenge - and speed! - of other games in the series, and so anyone who expects to actually have to WORK at it should look elsewhere. While fun as a diversion, Hottest Party lacks the staying power (and music!) of other DDR titles.

Gets dad up off the couch; kids have a hoot! This game is, quite literally, fun for the whole family. I can beat my [...] now but I'll bet that with a bit of practise, they'll start trouncing me. My 12 year old gives me a run for my money. Basically, the game is a great equalizer. For each song, there are four difficulty levels. The easiest is easy but the next level up is quite tough initially. I would have never believed that the top level is humanly possible until I watched a well-practised (and talented) young friend bopping around on her XBOX version of the game. Wow! She was flying. So, it *can* be done but I doubt I'll ever reach that level. The only problem that I have with the game is that one chooses the character before choosing the dance. If you want to take turns with a single mat, you have to go (B)ack quite a bit, reselect the other character, and then navigate forward again. The end result is too much delay between the actual dancing. Aside from that minor quibble, it's a lot of fun. I kept my 12-year-old up late last night so that I'd have an excuse to play. Pretty silly for a 44-year-old father.

Dance Dance, Where's the Party This game may be okay for people whom are unconditional fans of the "genre" but the performances and the choice of soundtracks really are a let down. I had more fun playing with Raving Rabbids 2 in the music modes than this game. Still, the execution, graphics sound quality are all up to par. Hope they can make it up by finding some real party tunes as were present in the Raving Rabbids game.

$20 for under $20. How can you go wrong? You can buy points through the Wii store for >$20 USD + taxes. Or get them here for <$20 CAD + taxes. No brainer, really.

Points are great, but they're cheaper elsewhere. There are a lot a great games available for download with Wii Points; Tetris Party and Super Mario III for example (and supposedly, though I have not checked on my system yet, we should now be able to download individual Rock Band songs for 200 points each.) BUT, you can purchase these points for a much cheaper price, and NOT only online. I've purchased at $20 for 2000 points at both Zellers and Wal-Mart (canadian stores) in the past. And since Zellers has their price listed on their website, we're able to use the price match guarantee policy at both FutureShop or BestBuy (since they too sell for $24.95; FS and BB will also take another 10% off the price as part of their price match guarentee.) In essence, excellent product, not well priced here unfortunately.

Ok, but don't need it Its ok but I don't need it because its cheaper to buy it on the Wii.

Amazing The storyline is amazing and it's the most fun i've had on a videogame in a LONG time. I like how you can fight and also do some puzzle. The controls are very easy and you get the hang of them in no time. GET THIS GAME IT'S WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing game with a major flaw Ok let me say this first this game was well thought up and produced it is beautiful and incredibly fun. The Good: The game never really slows down or came to a point where I put it down for a week or something (which is rare for me). The story is excellent and the use of the wolf was incredibly cool and refreshing for the series. Battle was incredible the Wii allows for battle to be brought to a new level. Horseback fighting probably the most fun had in the game it was done so well that I have one of my games saved at the first Horse battles. Overall the boss fights were fun and the temples were not redundant and overly boring. and NO NAVI with that annoying "Hey listen" The Bad: Overall the game was too easy it is ridiculous when I get through 6 straight boss fights without getting hurt. and in the last boss fight I lost a grand total of 1/2 a heart. I play alot of games but I don't consider myself an elite gamer so this was dissapointing. The characters need voices. I know its a style choice but even if it remains the jibberish I think that all the major scenes need major characters to have some sort of voice so your not just reading with dead noise in the backround. Finally the music the orchastrated music was only at the end where was it for the rest of the game. Even thought here is bad there is in every game I still suggest everyone buy this game and play it because it is that good but there was a gaping hole for me in the difficulty. Still a must own

Quality over Quantity Coming soon to a Wii near you! He howls! He sniffs! He digs! He smiles! He ....shows expression?!? He saves Hyrule! TADA! It's Link - by golly! It's the one and only green-clad hero from the Province of Ordon to save Hyrule from being overthrown by Twilight! Complete with cinematics and a fabulous storyline, complete with snazzy overly classic Hyrule details and characterization, this is definatley a game worth playing over and over! Heck - I'm on my second round of gameplay (finished it a month ago) and it took me just under 80 hours to finish. This time around I've decided to explore the vast caves, collect things and by far this is topping any other Zelda game! The storyline - aided by characters of Hyrule, also add to the fun factor. There is so much to this game that just all around makes it spectaular, the launch of new items for greater gameplay and little things that make you jaw drop while the story takes turns that I've never seen in Zelda. I could go on for hours about this game, but I'll spare you so you can go buy it and play it for yourself!

Rayman Raving Rabbids is the edgiest and most off-the-wall gaming experience in the history of the Rayman franchise. This new Rayman game features the funniest, zaniest, wackiest antics ever when hordes of nasty bunnies invade Rayman's world. They enslave him, forcing Rayman to participate in a series of gladiator-like trials. In order to win his freedom, Rayman must entertain and outwit these crazed, out-of-control bunnies.

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman You'd be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman

Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It's rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding your failure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.

Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one "boss battle," so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.

Exercise your Wii Remote Hand it to Ubisoft's development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers' capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.

Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you'll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.

When you take on the boss stages, you'll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don't control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.

Impressive replay value There's extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.

The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That's when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here's hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!

Customer Reviews

Tons of Fun!!!! Very interative, with lots of different kinds of games, good entertainment and fun. The story line is hilarious to watch as well!!

Crazy, zany fun! A bizzare trip into bunny land. This game is quite witty and also a lot of fun. The game is basically a series of 70 mini-games. You play a character that is captured by mad rabbits and are made to perform for thier entertainment in a collesium type atmosphere. I loved the game, and kids will find the humour great as well, though parents should be aware that some of it could be considered rude or mildly crude (such as a mini-game where 4 rabbits are sitting in outhouses and noises are heard of there "efforts" inside. They try to open the doors to their commodes, and it's your job to keep the doors shut!) In all the game was great fun. A drawback is that some of the games get "recycled" into two or three parts in the latter portion of the game, so by the last third of the game you are playing repeat mini-games. Also, the story-mode of the game can easily be finished in one afternoon by an adult. However, as you beat the levels, the mini-games are unlocked for multiplayer mode. Anyone with a zany sense of humor will enjoy this game!

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Cure a cold, or amputate an arm, all without cracking open a bottle of pills or getting bloody. The latest in the Trauma Center series of games by Atlus, Trauma Center: Second Opinion lets you play the surgeon in an exciting medical drama simulation game. You'll need to cure patients of

everything from routine medical maladies to life-threatening designer viruses.

Game Storyline Sure, we've all imagined what it would be like to become a doctor. Years of medical school, residency, and clinic duty eventually pay off in a rewarding position saving people's lives. Or, you could skip all that and just put in a few hours after dinner. Trauma Center puts you in the position of having to make life or death choices at the operating table.

Heart surgery and tumor removal might look easy from the morphine end, but how do you think the doctor feels? Well, you're going to find out! In Trauma Center, patients' lives are in your hands. You'll experience all the drama we've come to expect from the medical field. So go ahead, toss on some scrubs and step into the O.R.--it's time to play doctor.

Gameplay Trauma Center: Second Opinion, is a robust "Wii-make" of the game "Under the Knife," and features a totally revamped medical toolkit that includes scalpels, forceps, defibrillator paddles, syringes, and more--all designed specifically for use with the Wii Remote.

Other game features include new graphics and animation, new and remixed musical themes, new surgical implements (including a defibrillator), and operation types, a second playable character with all-new missions, multiple difficulty modes for gamers of all skill levels, and a revised control system that takes full advantage of the revolutionary Wii Remote.

Customer Reviews

Trauma Center: Second Review If there were any quality launch titles for the Wii, they were Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and this game, Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Which is why I was a bit surprised when I discovered the 1-star rating it had here on Amazon.ca. The Wii wasn't built for mind-blowing graphics, but to offer new control options to create new, more interesting styles of games. And I feel that the people at Atlus understood that more than anyone when they created this game. It's a tremendous amount of fun and the Wii controls work beautifully. It may have a soapy storyline and the operations may not represent reality too well, but it is what it is: A fun, challenging and unique title that should stand proudly with many of the Wii's other AAA titles.

Get a 3rd opinion... I like blood. I like guts. I like medical stuff. So I figured this game would be a lot of fun, and put it on my wish list. Luckily, I rented it and found out how horrible it is. Clunky graphics, whiny characters and tedious operations. The character conversation and underlying patronizing quality of the writing (hey, maybe it is like a doctor after all :) made me very happy to NOT get this game. Given the possibilities of technology, this should be a great game. I am very disappointed.

Fun Party game!!! If you play this game by yourself, for sure not so much fun, yet if you play with lot of friends, this is an awsome game. You will enjoy this game with all of your friends!! Worth it, it's a great party game!!!

It's only just ok! Good for kids - not too old The game is fun the first couple of times you play and then you have beat the game - too easy! You also have to watch 5 min long videos before you can start each new level - very frustrating! Not worth the money - just rent it, and you can beat it before you return it. Mario Party 8 is the way to go!

Wario Wackyness A must-have title for those who plan to have big crowds in front of their Wii console. While it's a lot of fun just having your spouse watch you flap, hula and elephant nose your way through the hundreds of mini-games, the game breaks out when you have a large crowd. Only one wii-mote and, optionally, a nunchuck, is needed; you pass it around as you play, which makes enforcing Nintendo's demands to always wear the wrist strap a bit hard. There is a lot here, both in the amount and variety of micro-games, as well as some longer skill contests. Even if you whip through the single-player in a day or so, the rest of the package will keep you waving the remote like a maniac for a long time.

Customer Reviews

Great novel fun! first, I have to admit this is my first foray with any Mario Party game. I absolutely love this one! There are so many ways to use the controller and that alone is worth getting the game - seeing the versatility of the system. Plus the mini games are so varied and unpredictable that it keeps it new. My husband and I are hooked! Also great fun for having friends over - nice activity for whoever wants to take turn. Since most of them have never played much on a Wii, this is a perfect novelty.

My 4 yr old LOVES IT!! This is a great game for kids. My four yr old just loves it and does it all by herself.

Good but gets boring A great game to play with lots of people, but after u beat all the boards, and get all the games, it gets boring. But its neat how u can play mini-games using your Mii's, or Mario characters. I love how they added Dry Bones and Bloop as characters, but they left out Donkey Kong. The game boards are neat as in they are more than just paying 20 coins for stars, you have to get them a certain way on each board. The games are really fun and make good use of the Wii controller, but they are very quick and too easy to beat.

Customer Reviews

AWESOMELY ADDICTING Good things addicting fun hidden extra activities revealed after game beaten to keep u playing and more! Bad things hmmm... only bad thing is at beginning of game, really long intro

What a Classic I have the very first NES version on my Wii and I play that alot! This is a whole new Mario and the plot is just Hilarius, not a serious game. You can get stuck on parts that can be a little tricky but who can get mad with such a cute story. They really did it this time, I am impressed. About the reading 30 minutes is a long stretch 5 minutes TOPS and i doubt that it is really 5. I find most only last a good minute maybe. Who can NOT love Mario anyone who every had the first console knows Mario and grew up playing Mario or was the first game they ever played. You truly have no soul if you do not like Mario that is sure. New game play is great, I love the switch to 3D it takes a while to get the hang of it. If you cant jump over it switch to 3D and go around it, or find a secret passage its just over all awsome. If you have a Wii you owe it to yourself to buy this game.

Great Game It's suprising that Peach isn't the victim in this game, that's what I liked about it, something different. Not to mention you get to be her plus Bowser, and one other character (but I haven't gotten there yet). This game really annoyed me at some parts, so much I had to go online to figure out what to do. But I really like this game, more than the other two Paper Marios'. The use of Pixl's is neat, plus you can do a lot more with Mario in this one, other than turning into something made of paper. You can flip to 3-D! I love it, you should buy it!

Amazon.com

After her initial DS debut, Mama is whipping up some kitchen competition by pitting chef against chef in Cooking Mama Cook Off – a unique 2 player family game designed specifically for the Wii home video console. Step-by-step, recipe-by-recipe, help Mama cook international dishes from 10 different nations and watch as the realistic foods actually change in appearance based on your actions!

FEATURES

● The Wii Remote is your ultimate cooking utensil, putting you in total control of the cooking action as you chop, grate, slice, stir, roll and much more! Hold and point it in many different ways depending on the task (i.e. upright to mash potatoes, lengthwise to fry in a pan, etc.) to get the real sensation of cooking in a kitchen!

● All-new Cooking Challenge Mode lets you and a friend go head-to-head in the ultimate multiplayer cook off to determine who can cook the fastest with the fewest mistakes.

● Create 55 real world dishes from 10 different nations: Japan, America, France, India, Mexico, England, China, Spain, Germany and Italy. You can even make desserts like cream puffs and pudding too! From hot dogs to pan fried crab to bouillabaisse, Cook Off challenges you to make it all!

● Realistic graphics with real-time effects make you feel like you’re actually cooking. Adjust your timing and make decisions about your next course of action based on what you see on screen (i.e. if food is starting to look burned, quickly remove it from the burner, etc.).

● Keep your kitchen fancy and fresh by earning items that bring your kitchen to life (i.e. seasonings, small utensils, etc.).

● Earn bronze, silver, and gold medals from Mama based on the quality of your cooking.

● Practice mode allows you to fine tune your cooking skills without being judged. Recipes progress from simple to complex, from small to large dishes, so do your best to meet Mama’s expectations as you unlock new dishes.

Customer Reviews

Hungry for some fun? Cute cooking game. My niece loves it. Not a "manly" game, but it's easy enough that anyone can play it. Found some of the controls tricky but other than that, its good old clean fun. The cook off is especially fun with a group of friends.

Family Fun I picked up this game to play with my daughter. She is 3 years old and loves it. It is a great game to interact with her and we mostly play the cook off mode.

Not bad, not amazing It's fun to use the Wiimote in unique ways (e.g. chopping, peeling, cracking eggs) and the narrator is pretty hilarious. I thought this game would be easier than it is, considering how cute it looks, but it's actually fairly difficult to do really well. It's fun, but I don't know if I would buy it. In my opinion, it's not one that you would play for a long time. Fun to try it if you like cooking though!

Red Steel is an exclusive Wii launch title that takes full advantage of the innovative Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and puts players directly into the action-packed first-person experience with the weapon in their hand - literally. An engaging storyline unfolds as you learn that your fiancé has been kidnapped and her father - a Japanese mafia kingpin - murdered by a rival gang. The only way to save your loved one and defend your honor is to journey from Los Angeles to Japan and confront the Tokyo underworld. By learning the ancient art of Japanese fighting with your katana and the focused precision of modern firearms, you will progress and adapt yourself to this foreign environment, where skills alone may not guarantee you victory.

An epic tale awaits Red Steel is an action-packed first-person experience for the Nintendo Wii that will put the weapon in your hands like never before. The

engaging storyline opens in Los Angeles, as Scott Monroe and his fiancé, miyu, arrive at a high-class restaurant. Scott is to meet Miyu's father, Isao Sato, an important business man from Tokyo. Suddenly, the restaurant erupts in a hail of gunfire as a group of Japanese mobsters (known as Yakuza) attack and try to kidnap Sato. Scott manages to save his future father-in-law. The Yakuza attackers run off, taking Miyu instead.

Scott soon learns that Isao Sato is the Oyabun, the Godfather of one of Tokyo's largest Yakuza families. The attack in the restaurant marks the end of a truce between rival clans that Sato had guaranteed. The Yakuza wanted to kill Sato and find his sword, the Katana Giri. The legendary sword was once used to punish dishonorable Godfathers, and has since become a symbol of peace. Sato was mortally wounded in the attack, but before he dies, he passes the sword to Scott in exchange for a promise to rescue and take care of his daughter. Scott has no chioce but to head to Japan and try to find Miyu.

Once in Japan, Scott seeks out Otori, a reformed Yakuza and an expert in the art of sword fighting. A friend to Sato and a man of honor and tradition, Otori reluctantly agrees to help. Otori trains Scott in the art of the sword. Meanwhile, another man named Harry Tanner teaches Scott all about the Japanese Underworld. Harry runs a night club popular with the Yakuza, and he uses his many connections to help Scott on his quest.

Eventually, Scott uncovers the man behind the attack of his father-in-law and the kidnapping of his fiance, a power-hungry young Oyabun named Tokai. With his mistress, Mama San (the head of the Geisha district and a female gang of Yakuza), Tokai seeks to take control of the entire Tokyo mafia. However, his real intentions are much darker and more mysterious.

With Otori's help, Scott must convince the Godfathers of all the remaining clans to join him in stopping Tokai. Kenzo, leader of the Financial Clan, Tetsuo, boss of the Game Fighting Clan, along with the heads of all the other clans - all powerful men, all harbor their own agendas and ambitions. Scott must convince them all to join him in stopping Tokai, but who can he really trust?

Control the action like never before Red Steel uses the Nintendo Wii controller in ways not previously seen in a console action game. By turning the Wii Remote itself into your gun or blade, players can shoot and slice their way through Red Steels ample story mode. When first equipped with a firearm, the Wii Remote will automatically sense the location and direction of your hand and aim the on-screen weapon similarly. As you rotate your wrist to add flair and style while picking off enemies, the on-screen weapon will mimic your movements.

Equipping the sword is even more impressive. When Scott has the sword at his disposal, the Wii Remote becomes a sharp Kitana as players literally slash at their enemies and run them through. The play style is incredibly immersive, and lends a realistic element to action games that isn't often seen. As Scott becomes more comfortable with his weapons, so too does the player, and the moves they can pull off with the Katana improve in both accuracy and speed.

Multiplayer swordplay As if an impressive story line and immersive control weren't enough, Red Steel also boasts a number of local multiplayer modes. In these modes, players can challenge friends to split screen battles in various locales to see who the real master is. Try a sword only battle royale without cover and the ability to heal. Or, set up a tactical battle with pistols and flanking schemes for you and 3 of your closest enemies. Whether teaming up or going "every man for himself," Red Steel multiplayer offers a fun diversion to the title's main story.

Red Steel is an impressive Wii launch title from one of the most innovative publishers making console games today. From its opening cinematic to its realistic and quick-paced swordplay, Red Steel is a riveting and engrossing title worthy of Wii owner's time and attention. After a few hours of mowing down enemies with your side-mounted pistol and whisper-quiet Katana slices, you'll wonder why action titles aren't all this simple and fun to play.

Customer Reviews

pretty fun i just finished this game like an hour ago and its pretty awesome. first id like to say that the controls are hard to get used to but once u no how to use them, there awesome. the storyline is ok a bit of the usual(girl gets kidnapped guy saves girl thing)but with a cool japanese culture twist. as for the graphics there pretty much last-gen with a little twist here and there but while im shooting or swinging my sword for my life, i couldnt care less about graphics. now for the gameplay its pretty cool with all the diff. places and destroyable stuff(water pipes breaking, crates exploding,walls falling apart make for pretty awesome gameplay. graphics 3/5 storyline 3/5 controls 4/5 gameplay 5/5

great game I think this is a excellent game. It might take a little while to get used to the controls, but once you've figured it out it's very easy and precise. The swordfighting is quite fun and multiplayer is great. It has a very good storyline, the graphics are good, the music is good, and it does have replay value. I think it's certainly worth buying.

Shoot & Sword - Less than you expect I was looking forward to try an FPS (First Person Shooter) utilizing the revolutionary Wii remote unit. Before the Wii, there has been many debates and argumentation how the "regular" console controllers can handle this kind of game experience vs. the PC mouse + keyboard approach. For me, the later turned out to be much more efficient and favorable. So here comes the Red Steel for Wii: a point and shoot approach topped with sword-fight sessions where the motion sensor can work at it’s best. High expectations. I’m not going to comment on the storyline – whoever is curious about spoilers can find a lot over the internet. I’d rather talk about the visual experience though before getting to the controls and the “fun factor”. I must say that I can’t ignore the fact that we’re in 2007 (or late 2006 when the game got released) so when it comes to visual experience from consoles or computers I expect a lot. Especially from an FPS type game. The Wii does not come out strong on this point. It is very disappointing to see the simplicity of the visuals, even if I account for the fact that the Wii is not supposed to be a super high-end graphical engine. It is also worth to mention that I played this game both on a 32” regular TV so as on a 60” HDTV. The later one is a full disappointment. In my opinion the Wii should not really be used on large screen TVs since it’s maximum 480p capability severely limits the visual experience you can get out of it. Back to the game. So how does the new Wii remote control deal with the job? At first it’s strange but you can get the feel of it. As one progresses and improves things gets better. My personal say however is, that without some re-thinking of the control method, the PC mouse is still unbeatable in precision and enjoyment. The “Red Steel solution” is very efficient when it comes to shooting at enemies: the “point and shoot” (you have to aim the remote to the enemy) is great not to mention the “fun” factor of the impression of using a “real gun”. The problem comes because the pointing function is also used to make the player’s viewpoint turn. So if the player points to the right edge of the screen the viewpoint turns right. It was/is very “unnatural” for me. I’d rather use some buttons if nothing else to do that. To further increase complications, if the player points outside of the screen are (the controller looses the screen) the viewpoint gets into a spinning until the pointer finds its way back to the “sensible” area. When it gets to multiplayer games where screen is halved or cut into 4 quarters this gets even more annoying. What I would have expected to see is more an approach like on the slot-machine shooters with a point-aim-fire system: the player has a fixed path movement around the map and the point is to use the virtual gun to aim only. Obviously this reduces somehow the interactivity but yet could be a better fit to the Wii concept. Swordplay. This is really a point where the program and especially the Wii controller shine. The sword-fights are really fun and enjoyable. Too bad, the insertion of this segment into the game breaks the concept and illogical. As another reviewer on the internet wisely put: since Indiana Jones we know that if you have a gun you don’t engage in close-up fight with an enemy who only has a sword. You shoot him from the safe distance. Same applies to Red Steel: equipped with armor and heavy guns why stop to sword fight with a guy who only has a baseball bat???? After all this, with a below average visual experience, simple storyline, and questionable control mechanism in my book this game can not get more than 3 stars. It’s a fair work without re-play value – except the multiplayer mode. But for that there are much better options than this.

Call of Duty 3 delivers the intensity of being closer than ever to the fury of combat during the Normandy Breakout, the historic campaign that made the liberation of Paris possible and brought the Allies a step closer to Berlin. With advanced high-definition graphics, detailed character animations, and explosive on-screen action, Call of Duty 3 delivers the most immersive and cinematically intense war experience to date.

Immersive, pulse-pounding action in the heart of Normandy.

Game Storyline Through a seamless narrative that delivers the rush of unrelenting battle and breathtaking action, players assume the roles of four ordinary Allied soldiers; American, British, Canadian, and Polish, are thrust onto an authentic, living battlefield for an unprecedented variety of combat situations.

Gameplay An all-new close-quarters battle mode allows players to fight hand-to-hand, improvise explosive devices, disarm traps, and execute a host of other battlefield situations that require cunning and rapid reflexes to survive. Meanwhile, the next-generation game design allows for multiple attack

routes that let players decide how to confront the enemy. Each unique mission path requires special tactics, from sniping and demolition, to all-out head-on clashes, providing for a truly organic game that is never the same twice.

Special Wii Features The Wii version of Call of Duty 3 adds special motion recognition features that further immerse you in the game. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk allows you to engage in realistic melee combat, toss grenades, control vehicles, aim, and more.

Multiplayer Action There's also a new multiplayer mode that allows for team-based combat. The multiplayer mode provides unprecedented depth and variety by allowing up to 16 players to battle it out online with the option of single or split-screen Internet play. Gamers have the choice to play as infantry or commandeer multiple-occupancy vehicles, including tanks, jeeps, and motorcycles with side-cars, leading to unique mobile combat roles for all-out, multiplayer mayhem.

Call of Duty 3 also offers soldier classes, each with class specific abilities, and a ranking system for truly diversified squad combat, and hours of multiplayer, and single player fun.

In the grand and classic racing tradition of Excitebike, get ready for a big-air experience like no other! Players rocket their trucks across dynamically changing terrain in this nitrous-injected, high-flying racer for speed junkies. Showing the Wii Remote controller's versatility, players tilt the controller on its side to turn it into a wireless steering wheel!

Arcade excitement, arcade feel Excite Truck doesn't hide the fact that it's an arcade racer. You won't be modifying your rig with aftermarket parts or racing to win the heart of some flag-waving girl. You will, however, go fast- very fast. It would be easy to stay on the dirt path that defines the race track, but if you plan on truly winning in Excite Truck, you have to go off road and in the air. Your

true success in each race is based on a star system. The more stars you get by performing stunts, drifts and more, the better your rank.

Netting lots of stars is not for the feint of heart. You'll need to cruise through fields of trees, launch yourself high in the air, hang on around curves for dear life and smash the daylights out of other trucks. All this and you still want to finish the race in first place.

Turbo originality As with the game's spiritual predecessor, the NES classic Excitebike, you can turbo to your heart's content, but if you push the envelope too far, your rig will overheat, causing you to stall until it cools down. If you smash into a tree, go to far into the water or come face-to-face with a rock known as a mountain, you'll need to mash the 2 Button to right your truck and get back on the road.

The Wii-unique aspect of Excite Truck is the way you hold the Remote. Instead of its traditional vertical configuration, you hold it in a horizontal fashion, like the center bar of a steering wheel. You move the remote in the same fashion that you would a car steering wheel, tilting your right hand up if you want to turn left and your left hand up if you want to go right. When your truck goes airborne, its front end will lean toward the ground if you tilt the Remote away from you, and if you tilt the Remote toward to, your truck's front end will point up, allowing you to catch a little more air. If you catch enough air, you can try to pull off a 720 and, if you're daring enough, a 1080. The more midair spins you can perform, the more stars you earn. Plus, remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to make your character land a huge jump? Now that move will actually affect the game in Excite Truck.

"Raze" the track The game features a Dynamic Terrain power-up. When you drive over this symbol, the road ahead changes, sometimes it plows upward to give you an extra hill to jump off. Other times, the terrain can sink, sometimes exposing water that can cool off an overheating engine. If you time the Dynamic Terrain activation just right, you can earn stars by sending racers out in front of you for an unexpected flight. Excite Truck's tracks also contain POW power-ups. This gives you clutch invincibility as you dare to go off the road and into the woods for a star-flooded tree run.

Excite Truck lets you customize the in-game music you race to. Download an MP3 to an SD card and explore Excite Truck's sound options to hear the tunes you want. The speed of the game is one thing, going fast to tunes that get you pumped up makes the game a pulse-pounding experience.

Customer Reviews

Not another 5 star review!! Yes..and I really mean it. :P We are currently playing this on our LCD tv and we have not had any problems like the plasma player (review of plasma tv owner is on this page). Nothing is burned into the tv and trust me, we play this game alot. It could just be how that person has their brightness turned up to high in general. We meaning my spouse and I, have become Excite truck addicts. The controls/steering of the vehicle is so smooth. The Wiimote ( with the new Wii jacket) is comfortably used to raise/land/steer left or right your truck through some exciting terrains. No glitches in the controls at all, no problem steering various hefty or light trucks in the game. At first I was really intimidated by the tricks, thinking I won't be able to complete the tracks and fill up the achievement awards within the game. However I followed the quick tutorials and kept at it. Soon doing tricks came second nature to us while driving. Race locations are Fiji, Scotland, China, Canada, Mexico. Visuals are stunning at each location along with the graphics. If you have mp3s, then load on your favourite driving tunes onto the SD card and go do some damage. *Within the game - head to options and clear out the SD card of music or set it to random play and throughout the game it will toggle through your music list. This game is not for those who love tweaking their vehicles to race. I am not one of those that can race then figure out how to upgrade my engine, brakes, all those things to make my ride gun it like the others. I just want to race and this game fits the bill. Each win unlocks different levels of the locations I listed above. While driving maniacally along you can change the environments on the fly. Changing the terrain can wreak havoc among the very intelligent AI drivers by tossing them out of your way at the last second or finding new shortcuts for yourself. Sadly the two player mode is just you and the other person (split screen), no AI trucks to add to the possible carnage you can do. This game rewards you for crashing into the other drivers, drifting (like many other games), spinning your vehicle in the air (much like snowboarding), doing tree runs and jumps as well. In order to enjoy this ride you need to be able to let go of the "track racing" mentality and literally go off road. I purchased this game used from an Amazon reseller here and it won't leave my Wii library. Every weekend the answering machine goes on and the cats in the house get ignored... :)))) while Excite truck is on.

Mega fun My 6 yr old son fell in love with this game instantly and the adults are just as addicted. Of all the Wii games, this has had, by far, the most hours of play.

Great Game- Warning However This Game introduced me to the Wii and I my son and I got right into it. However, a warning to all who play this game. It displays slightly smaller than the widescreen picture I have and has several items that display all the time. On the bottom right is a TEMP gauge for your boost and on top right is the lap counter. Well I have a nice burn in on my plasma where these items are. So much for my $2700 plasma!! You can't turn them off and they don't move, so BEWARE of this. Turn your brightness down if you don't want the same. The other games don't seem to have this, I just wish I had seen this coming or if the game designer would allow this to be turned off. Otherwise great game. Happy racing!

What

happens in the canyon, stays in the canyon What starts in the city is settled in the canyons as Need for Speed: Carbon weaves a story line that players won't soon forget in locales that are as detailed as they are deadly. You and your crew must race in an all-out war for the city, risking everything to take over your rivals' neighborhoods one block at a time. Boldly expanding on the key features that have made the Need for Speed franchise a hit for more than a decade, Need for Speed: Carbon turns up the excitement and intensity by introducing all-new canyon racing. As the police turn up the heat, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve. With multiplayer racing and the most detailed Wii graphics and car customization tools ever, Need for Speed: Carbon is the ultimate next generation racing game.

Need for Speed: Carbon on the Nintendo Wii introduces the world to a whole new way to play Need for Speed. Offering the classic Need for Speed controls and immersive gameplay experience, with the addition of the Wii's unique controller scheme takes NFS Carbon gameplay to levels previously not possible. A simple yet intuitive control scheme using the Wii controllers, the player will instantly recognize and feel the physics differences between the extensive list of Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner cars, as they use their crew to win Canyon races, customize their cars using Autosculpt technology, and battle to take control of the streets of Palmont. A streamlined focus on game physics has resulted in a truly authentic racing experience, as each of the game's three distinct car classes have been designed to maximize differentiation and enhance performance.

Over 50 rides to drive and customize Carbon offers more than 50 custom rides in three distinct classes: Tuner, Exotic, and Muscle -- each with unique attributes. Muscle are best on straightaways, of which there are precious few in Palmont. Need for Speed: Carbon gives you the power to design and tweak your car in every way - including over 300 different parts - using the ground-breaking new Autosculpt technology. As with other racing games you hold either end of the Wii Controller and tilt it to steer your car. If you'd rather not take the motion-control plunge EA thoughtfully provides five different steering configurations, including using the Nunchuk's analog stick. Our advice is to forget about old school -- the Wii Remote is the way to go. How did we ever enjoy racing games before it was invented?

Birds of a fuel-injected feather New to Need for Speed in this generation are the three kinds of wingmen (and yes, that's what the game calls them). Scouts search for shortcuts. Blockers create distractions and slow rivals. Drafters give you a second of speed boost for every second you can stay behind them. All three also give you moral support via wireless communications. Scouts are most useful the first few times you run a course. Drafters are of limited use on Palmont's twisting thoroughfares. Practically indespensible are Blockers, who are always willing to lay their precious paint jobs on the line so you can cross the finish line first. Now that's true friendship.

In total, Need for Speed: Carbon takes racing on the Wii to the next generation, and never looks back. With extensive customization, multiplayer options, revolutionary control, and an intriguing story, owners of the Wii may not be able to put this title down for a long, long time.

Very fun game for the Wii This game is both fun and challenging for kids or adults. Most of the moves in the game are done with the WiiMote. There are lots of levels in single player mode and a variety of multi-player party games which are quite good. I would recommend this game to any Sonic fan or anyone looking for a challening 1-player game for the Wii.

Watchmen By Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons






Product Description

SOON TO BE A FEATURE FILM! This Hugo Award-winning graphic novel chronicles the fall from grace of a group of super-heroes plagued by all-too-human failings. Along the way, the concept of the super-hero is dissected as the heroes are stalked by an unknown assassin. One of the most influential graphic novels of all time and a perennial bestseller, WATCHMEN has been studied on college campuses across the nation and is considered a gateway title, leading readers to other graphic novels such as V FOR VENDETTA, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and THE SANDMAN series.

Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk Has any comic been as lauded as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns but Watchmen remains the critics' favourite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creation than Miller's fantastic, subversive take on the Batman myth. Moore, renowned for many other of the genre's finest creations (Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and recently From Hell, with Eddie Campbell) first put out Watchmen in 12 issues for DC in 1986-87. It won a comic award at the time (the 1987 Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards for Best Writer/Artist combination) and has continued to garner praise since.

The story concerns a group called the Crimebusters and a plot to kill and discredit them. Moore's characterisation is as sophisticated as any novel's. Importantly the costumes do not get in the way of the storytelling, rather they allow Moore to investigate issues of power and control--indeed it was Watchmen, and to a lesser extent Dark Knight, that propelled the comic genre forward, making "adult" comics a reality. The artwork of Gibbons (best known for 2000AD's Rogue Trooper and DC's Green Lantern) is very fine too, echoing Moore's paranoid mood perfectly throughout. Packed with symbolism, some of the overlying themes (arms control, nuclear threat, vigilantes) have dated but the intelligent social and political commentary, the structure of the story itself, its intertextuality (chapters appended with excerpts from other "works" and "studies" on Moore's characters, or with excerpts from another comic book being read by a child within the story), the fine pace of the writing and its humanity mean that Watchmen more than stands up--it retains its crown as the best the genre has yet produced. --Mark Thwaite

Customer Reviews

A Must Read for All Super Hero Fans I've been wanting to read this for quite some time. Longer than I even knew they were thinking about making a movie. I've often seen it on the library shelf but decided against picking up this very thick graphic novel. Of course, it took the recent movie to make me actually get up and read it but by then everybody else wanted to read it and I had to add my name to the very long waiting list at the library. Finally it was my turn. Only a very broad summary can tell the premise of this plot without giving anything anyway and that hardly does the story any justice. A group of costumed heroes worked at thwarting crime during the forties, early fifties but they eventually went out of fashion in the fifties. But another younger, more resourceful group took over in the sixties only to have an act passed in '77 banning vigilantes altogether, except for a select few who worked for the government. This all takes place on an alternate earth where costumed vigilantes are real, Nixon is still President in the '80s (he removed the 2-term rule) and America won the Vietnam War. Now the world finds itself on the brink of World War III as US and Soviet Nuclear weapons are pointed at each other as the USSR starts to attack Asia starting with Afghanistan then Pakistan. In this setting we have a more personal story of former superheroes, some retired, some still working underground and suddenly, former masked heroes are turning up dead or worse. One currently working costumed vigilante has an idea that someone is picking off former masked heroes and he tries to warn the others but no one really takes him seriously in this political clime of uncertainty. This is an amazing book! The story is so intricate. Not only are the two main themes going on as described above but each of the superheroes involved carries their own personal subplot as well throughout the series. Amazingly everything ties together and I'm always stunned when a graphic novel can show such depth and intricacies with such limited text. Of all the great books I've read this month this is my favourite so far. Certainly a product of it's time; the eighties fear of nuclear attack from the Soviets, the Cold War, the threat of a third world war and yet somehow things never change. While the "bad guys" are different today, we still have these threats of nuclear arms making headlines today. I'm really excited to see the movie now. I've purposely avoided any notice of it as I wanted to read the book without any preconceptions. I don't even know who is in the movie and that is why while reading the book I visualized one of the characters as a certain actor. Jon is a science experiment gone wrong and is a big blue muscular naked guy with a circle on his forehead. His voice is distinctly different from the others, unemotional, and I immediately thought of him as a Jaffa, T'ilk to be exact, and I just heard Christopher Judge's deep voice saying that character's voice throughout the novel! It's weird when that happens. Back to the book, totally engrossing and riveting. I wish I hadn't waited this long. I said this was my favourite book of the month but this is also probably one of the finest graphic novels I've ever read. It is tough, hard and bloody and most definitely one for adults though, so don't go thinking of this is a "comic" and handing it off to the kiddies. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Read! This is the first full comic book/graphic novel that I have ever read (read the odd comic book before)and I have to say it is fantastic! A great story, great characters and just an overall thrilling read! This is actually really really good! Read this then check out the movie, both really good! totally worth the $!

c'est le temps des watchmen Ce bouquin est indispensable pour bien saisir le contenu du film et le défi de scénarisation qu'il représentait. Le livre est très bien produit.

Amazon.com The award-winning Gran Turismo franchise returns with its 5th installment, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, exclusively for PlayStation 3. With its signature realism and unrivaled physics, this highly anticipated precursor to Gran Turismo 5 continues to blur the line between simulation and reality.

"Prologue" is defined as an introductory or preceding event or development, and true to every letter, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue treats both long-time fans of the Gran Turismo franchise as well as those coming to it new, with a generous sampling of what they can expect to see in Gran Turismo 5 later in the year and further releases on the PS3.

Developed By the Best Polyphony Digital is the developer of the Gran Turismo franchise, led by creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Polyphony Digital is known for pushing the limits of the PlayStation hardware, and with its realistic graphics and physics,

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is no different. In addition to receiving CAD data from the auto manufacturers, they have taken thousands of photos to model each car (and track). As an example of the level of detail, a car in Gran Turismo 4 has the same number of polygons as a headlight in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

Polyphony works even closer with the automotive industry to make sure that the cars look and drive just as they do in real life. In fact, Kazunori Yamauchi designed the on-board computer for the real Nissan GT-R. If you’re lucky to buy one when it releases, you will notice the Polyphony Digital logo when you start your car.

Up to 16 players will be able to go head-to-head on some of the world's best racetracks on PlayStation Network. All you need to get racing is a broadband connection and PS3. Once you're up and revving, Global Online Rankings and the My Garage homepage feature will leave the world in n o doubt as to just who is the best at Gran Turismo.

And then there's the Online Dealership, providing a wealth of information on cars and manufacturers and also Gran Turismo TV – a dedicated online channel available exclusively from PSN and packed with some of the greatest content that Motorsport, car manufacturers and TV has to offer.

Key Features:

● Race over 60 cars from worldwide automotive manufacturers, precisely modeled both inside and out.

Customer Reviews

Another amazing entry in the Gran Turismo franchise While Gran Turismo 5 Prologue obviously isn't a full release and is more or less a very large demo for $40, it's still amazing and I'd purchase another for a family member in a heartbeat. The graphics are great, there are many cars from many different manufacturers to choose from but the only things that annoy me are the lack of races and tracks. Unfortunately, if you are good, the game doesn't last that long. Online play and local split-screen multiplayer will make up for that, though. In the end, I don't think it's worth the full $40 but it's definitely a good game for those looking for a new racing game for their PS3.

Customer Reviews

Great deal for a great price I recommend this game, or should I say games. Most games on the disc are 2 player and every game gives you a trophy. There is something like 45 games on here so there is something for everyone. The controls are easy to use and most games you can pick up and play. Even if you only like a few games on this disc the price is well worth it. ($30cdn) There is even unlockables like other games, interviews and stuff. If you own a PS3 might as well own most of the Sega games to.

The Best Compilation in the History of Mankind! This games features 48 first party genesis games (almost) perfectly emulated with trophy support. The complete list includes: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle Alien Storm Alien Syndrome (arcade) Altered Beast Beyond Oasis Bonanza Bros. Columns Comix Zone Congo Bongo (arcade) Decap Attack Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine Dynamite Headdy E-SWAT: City Under Siege Ecco the Dolphin Ecco: The Tides of Time Fantasy Zone (arcade) Fatal Labyrinth Flicky Gain Ground Golden Axe Golden Axe II Golden Axe III Golden Axe Warrior (Sega Master System) Kid Chameleon 1 Phantasy Star (Sega Master System) Phantasy Star II Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium Ristar Shining in the Darkness Shining Force Shining Force II: Ancient Sealing Shinobi (arcade) Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master Sonic 3D Blast Sonic & Knuckles Sonic Spinball Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Space Harrier (arcade) Streets of Rage Streets of Rage 2 Streets of Rage 3 Super Thunder Blade Vectorman Vectorman 2 Zaxxon (arcade)

Must get if you are a nostalgic gamer. This game is great mainly because you get so many wonderful classics in one cheap bundle. Graphics wise it looks a bit awkward on a HDTV. My only concern with this game is how there is no unlimited live/credits system for games such as streets of rage and golden axe. Nothing new has really been added to the games though.

Story Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier is set across a variety of worlds, ranging from an apocalyptic wasteland covered with the hulks of downed spaceships to a fantastical place of fairy tales and dark magic. Join Haken Browning: gunslinger, professional bounty hunter, and amateur ladies' man, along with his motley crew of robots, were-beasts, secret agents, and busty princesses as they delve

deep into the mysteries of how their worlds came to be and face a threat that imperils the multiverse.

Battle While engaged in combat in Endless Frontier players utilize every character available, but only four characters will be acting as front-line fighters. Use the formation option to rearrange your party, where characters in the front will be the ones getting up-close and personal with enemies, and characters in the back will be available to provide support for attacks. During a battle each character will make use of HP, SP and COM. HP is the character's health. When it is down to zero the character is knocked out and can't be used in battle until revived. If all four characters in front are knocked out, you've lost the battle and the game is over. SP is used for skills and spirit commands. These provide a variety of useful effects like healing or special attacks that deal status effects to enemies. COM is what allows you to perform attacks each turn. Each attack a character makes has an associated COM cost. More damaging attacks require more COM and if a character doesn't have enough COM to continue her/his attack sequence, the turn ends. Each character regains some COM every turn, and some items or spirit commands will refresh a character's COM as well.

Hit Count and Combos Every time you strike an enemy, that enemy will be lifted off the ground slightly. As long as the enemy is in the air each successive hit will add to the hit count. The higher the hit count, the more damage you'll do in a series of attacks. In addition, your chance of getting critical hits increases in direct proportion to the current length of the combo. Critical hits deal a lot of damage. To keep your hit count high, use careful timing to chain your characters' attacks together into an unstoppable tidal wave of pain. These tricks will keep you fighting at the top of your game.

Chain Attacks While one of your characters is attacking, if the next characters to attack is another one of your characters, you can begin the second character's turn before the first has completely finished his attacks. This might seem wasteful, but it lets the second character jump right into combat and begin attacking while the enemy is still being juggled from the attacks of the first character, further increasing the hit count and dealing more damage through critical hits. You'll also get a boost to the frontier gauge, making it even easier to use overdrive attack more often.

Support Attacks Characters in the back row can still help you out, even if they're not part of the fighting force. Call upon those members of the party to use support attacks, during which they will quickly jump into battle, deal a few hits, then leap away again. This takes place while your party members are attacking, so you can continue attacking on your own. Let the assisting characters attack, or use this opportunity to chain in more characters to extend the combo even further.

Key Features

● Fighting style combat - Combo attack your enemies and never let them hit the ground to deal the most damage. This unique “juggling” gameplay and timing-based attacks keep every encounter fresh and exciting, unlike most RPGs.

● Story intended for mature RPG gamers - Intended for the more seasoned, older gamers, the story includes more nuanced, complex characters and manages to mix drama, romance, and humor to great effect..

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [Blu-ray] From Buena Vista






Product Details

● Amazon Sales Rank: #2700 in DVD ● Released on: 2008-12-02● Format: NTSC● Original language: English

Customer Reviews

You may find Narnia a more savage place Imagine finding a magical kingdom in another world... only to return over a thousand years later, and find it in ruins. That's the whole idea of "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," a superb sequel to "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe." While it has a climax that goes on WAY too long, this movie shows us the darker side of C.S. Lewis' fantastical world -- with a heavy dose of Shakespearean villains, political intrigue, and some spectacularly epic battles. It's been 1,300 years in Narnia, and the human Telmarines have invaded and driven the native Narnians underground. Aslan hasn't been seen in centuries. And when King Miraz's (Sergio Castellitto) wife gives birth to a baby boy, his nephew -- the rightful heir -- becomes an obstacle. Young Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) flees from his treacherous uncle, and is discovered by a band of Narnians. Along the way, he accidentally ends up summoning the ancient Kings and Queens of Narnia -- also known as the Pevensie children, who were waiting at a train station when they were unexpectedly sucked trough a tunnel. Though initially delighted to have returned to Narnia, the Pevensies are horrified when they find that their once-idyllic land has been nearly destroyed. Caspian has been organizing a ramshackle army of native Narnians, but Peter (William Moseley) finds that fighting an organized, armed force is very different from battling the White Witch. And after a disastrous attack, the Narnians are facing almost certain destruction -- but Lucy (Georgie Henley) is convinced that Aslan can somehow save them, and restore the kingdom to Prince Caspian.... "Prince Caspian" is definitely a darker story than its predecessor -- good guys die, coups fail, evil machinations succeed, the castles are grimy, some of the good guys turn bad for real, and a bleak, hopeless feeling suffuses much of the movie's second half. Even our heroes have to deal with their doubts and anger, especially since Aslan is conspicuously absent for 95% of the entire film. And if the first film was a colorful fantasy adventure, then this one is a military story with all the necessary action trappings -- spectacular aerial drops, castle-wide massacres, and a spectacular finale involving a massive pit, tree roots, a river, and catapults. But Adamson also packs in as much violence as a PG-rated movie can contain -- while there's only a few drops of actual gore, there's plenty of beheadings, shootings and stabbings. But Narnia itself has lost none of its charm, and Adamson lingers lovingly on the sunlit forests and quiet rivers for as long as he can. And though the story is grim, he sprinkles it with plenty of humor (the bound-and-gagged cat) and fairly snappy dialogue. One of the most spectacular scenes involves a very familiar character speaking from inside a sheet of shimmering ice, as Caspian is dragged into a necromancer's ritual. It's really rather creepy. Problems with the movie? Well, the climactic battle drags on for a LONG time, and every time you think it'll end, it revs back up. And those masked soldiers are a wee bit too reminiscent of "300's" Persians. The four Pevensie actors all do solid jobs, although William Moseley is the standout -- Peter is struggling with doubt and a bit of alpha rivalry, especially since he's used to being Narnia's top dog. Barnes starts off a little stiffly -- come on, where's the fear when you see your bed turned into a pincushion? -- but soon grows into the difficult role of a Hamlet-like prince who is struggling to become both a Narnian friend and a Telmarine king. But there's a pretty brilliant supporting cast as well: Castellitto is simply outstanding as the ruthless, icy-cold Miraz, as are Damián Alcázar and Pierfrancesco Favino as his scheming advisors. Warwick Davis does a low-key, malevolent turn as Nikabrik, while Peter Dinklage is the likably brusque, cynical Trumpkin. And Eddie Izzard is top-notch as the mousy swashbuckler Reepicheep -- this could have a silly, comic-relief character, but he does end up being both adorable and formidable. "Prince Caspian" drops the children's fantasy feeling, in favor of a darker, more militaristic story -- especially with all that father-murder stuff. But despite its darker overtones, it never forgets the light side.

good If you liked the movie sin city you should definitly buy it on blue ray. good quality but no extras. not availible in the US so i bought it from canada. it's in english or french. good movie

Great on Blu-Ray Beautiful film and an awesome HD picture with this movie. I would definitely recommend picking one up.

Sin City on Blu-Ray I recently purchased Sin City on Blu-Ray format in hopes it would benefit from the high definition format. I have the DVD and I'm glad I upgraded to the high definition format! The movie looks great and this is a movie I really like. It's one of those movies you either love or hate. It's a must have for my collection. The unusual way it was photographed mixing black and white with partial color gave it a unique look and feel. There are multiple stories going on that end up tied together and good acting by Bruce Willis, Mickey Rorke, and Clive Owen. The blu-ray format didn't offer much of anything as far as extras but I bought it for the movie so that didn't matter to me. If you are on the fence I say go for it!

Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com "The Bride" (Uma Thurman) gets her satisfaction--and so do we--in Quentin Tarantino's "roaring rampage of revenge," Kill Bill, Vol. 2. Where Vol. 1 was a hyper-kinetic tribute to the Asian chop-socky grindhouse flicks that have been thoroughly cross-referenced in Tarantino's film-loving brain, Vol. 2--not a sequel, but Part Two of a breathtakingly cinematic epic--is Tarantino's contemporary martial-arts Western, fueled by iconic images, music, and themes lifted from any source that Tarantino holds dear, from the action-packed cheapies of William Witney (one of several filmmakers Tarantino gratefully honors in the closing credits) to the spaghetti epics of Sergio Leone. Tarantino doesn't copy so much as elevate the genres he loves, and the entirety of Kill Bill is clearly the product of a singular artistic vision, even as it careens from one influence to another. Violence erupts with dynamic impact, but unlike Vol. 1, this slower grand finale revels in Tarantino's trademark dialogue and loopy longueurs, reviving the career of David Carradine (who plays Bill for what he is: a snake charmer), and giving Thurman's Bride an outlet for maternal love and well-earned happiness. Has any actress endured so much for the sake of a unique collaboration? As the credits remind us, "The Bride" was jointly created by "Q&U," and she's become an unforgettable heroine in a pair of delirious movie-movies (Vol. 3 awaits, some 15 years hence) that Tarantino fans will study and love for decades to come. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.ca Deuxième volet du quatrième film réalisé par l’enfant terrible du cinéma américain, Quentin Tarantino, Tuer Bill vol. 2 était d’autant plus attendu que le premier épisode nous laissait sur cet incroyable apéritif : l’enfant que portait l’héroïne au moment de sa tentative d’assassinat n’était pas mort.

La Mariée, alias Black Mamba, dont ce film révélera le véritable nom, est toujours bien décidée à se venger des membres restants du Détachement International des Vipères Assassines, responsable de son meurtre raté. Après s’être occupée de Vernita Green et de O-Ren Ishii, restent sur sa liste : Budd, Elle Driver et bien sûr, le chef de l’organisation, Bill.

Si ce deuxième volume paraît moins spectaculaire et coloré que le premier, il peut néanmoins s’appuyer sur l’incroyable talent de dialoguiste de Tarantino. Le thème de la vengeance se double alors d’une réflexion sur la maternité tandis que le ton, vif, original et décalé, sert de liant entre les différents chapitres non linéaires. Détournant joyeusement les codes de nombreuses références tant explicites et implicites (le western spaghetti, le kung-fu, les séries télé, Superman…), Tuer Bill vol.2 compte également sur quelques scènes redoutables d’efficacité (comme la confrontation Black Mamba-Elle Driver ou le flash-back du massacre) auxquelles donnent vie les très en forme Uma Thurman, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen et David Carradine. Et, bien que le DVD présente une scène supplémentaire et un making-of, le problème avec Tarantino, c’est qu’on n’en a jamais assez ! Helen Faradji

Review Considering his •ber-moviegeek persona, it is easy to forget that Quentin Tarantino is a writer. The reason he has traditionally taken so long between projects is that he hones and shapes his screenplays to near perfection. His camera movements, his editing rhythms, and his soundtracks are fully in his head before he shoots a single frame, and every element of filmmaking is utilized to serve the story -- all while he remains loose enough on the set to adapt to the moment (as he did throughout the creation of the fight sequences in Kill Bill). That unique blend of passion and craft -- call it freewheeling deliberateness -- makes Quentin Tarantino one of the best directors of his generation. The first half of Kill Bill, released to theaters six months before the conclusion, celebrated the moviegeek elements of Tarantino's personality -- specifically the geek who has absorbed every Sonny Chiba movie. Where Volume 1 offered the most visually freewheeling Tarantino work ever, Volume 2 showcases how deliberate his intentions are. Take the training sequence with Pai Mei: This looks like every kung fu movie that ever played on a Saturday afternoon on your local UHF station. The cheesy zooms, the arch dialogue, and the faux-mystical bearded mentor are all intricately planned and in place. These elements are not kitsch; Tarantino genuinely loves these genre tropes and wants nothing more than to share that love with the audience while never taking his eye off the story. This is exactly what he accomplishes in Kill Bill, and he does it with confidence. For each Perils of Pauline-like death that awaits The Bride, Tarantino has taken great effort to explain how the skills she has developed over time allow her to escape. That is never more true than in the climactic face-off with Bill. Thank goodness Warren Beatty ended up not playing the part because it is hard to fathom a more perfect choice than David Carradine, whose work here, with his deep, laconic voice and subtly menacing physical confidence, recalls Robert Mitchum. Their nearly 40-minute showdown is much more mental and emotional than physical. That the performers, the film, and the audience so easily adjusts to this new battlefield reveals the writer in Tarantino -- and makes clear his remarkable achievement. Tarantino proves, as he has with each of his films, that a good story well-told will support any and all visual flourishes. He has not transcended the generic revenge story line he has utilized, he has simply made one of the best possible films of that type. While other movie geeks will spend years cataloguing the various musical and camera lifts in Kill Bill, the people who understand and appreciate fine storytelling should marvel at how -- in just four movies -- Tarantino has become arguably the best crime writer of his generation. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

"That woman deserves her revenge... and we deserve to die." All grown men have a little boy in their heart that still surfaces every now and again...some fellows more so than others, and it's always so much fun to go back. That is one of the many reasons I enjoy having a son waiting to greet me when I come home from a day of work or a long business trip. On the flip side, Quentin Tarantino gets to go back to being a boy every time he goes to work, and I say good for him. The Kill Bill movies are a potent effusion of likely all the things Quentin grew up with. Westerns, Kung-Fu movies, Samurai movies and other action films that helped mold and create his robust imagination. Now, he can take the ideas that inspired him as a child and make them even better for the next generation of action-craving bloodthirsty little children. Kill Bill volume 2 is more than a derivitive tribute film, it is an elicitation of massive nostalgia, excentuated keenly by incredible dialogue. Other than function well as a conclusion to the series, it is actually quite different from Kill Bill volume 1 in a few ways. Kill Bill volume 1 contained mostly introductions, followed by bloody action as Beatrix Kiddo took on and took out Vernita Green, O-Ren Ishii, Go-Go Yubari and of course the Crazy 88 (yes, all 88 of them). But in Kill Bill volume 2, I felt like those were merely the supporting villains as Kiddo takes on the more resourceful and profound antagonists in this film; Elle Driver, Budd and of course Bill himself. The sequel, unintentionally perhaps as the two were written and filmed together, possesses more depth than the first part. There is more room for dialogue and that is of course a great thing because outrageous and unlikely dialogue is one of Quentin's strengths, and it serves here to make the characters even more unearthly and super-hero-like then in the first film. Overall, in volume 2 we get to see how Beatrix learned her skills and we learn more about the relationship between her and Bill. It all leads up to an often criticized climax between Bill and Beatrix. Between the dialogue and David Carradine's performance, the climax helped me enjoy this film a bit more than volume 1. So, if you prefer action and violence you will like the first movie better, but if you just so happen to get caught up in the characters along the way and have an appreciation for the kind of concentrated cultural yearning crossed with mythical level characters that only a Tarantino film can deliver, then Kill Bill volume 2 is a great cap to the two films. For me, simply put, together they make one amazing movie.

My favorite movie Quentin Tarantino at his best! This is a movie TO SEE ABSOLUTELY!!!

2 movies to make 1 ? I don't like how they made 2 movies instead of 1. I refuse to put any money out either to rent or own Kill Bill #2. I hope that movie producers do not follow this idea ever again...... It is a money grabbin technique for something that is really not that worth it......

Customer Reviews

AScary Stuff This should be a horor Novel not a Diet Book, there is an amazing amount of information in this book about how your metabolism works and how all the garbage we eat affects it. No wonder most of us are over weight we've been feeding out bodies chemicals and all the wrong stuff (not to mention too much of that stuff which we can only blame ourselves for.) The book is 80% technical and scientific information about the metabolisim the last few chapter are about the diet but don't let that scare you because you should read it so you are aware the next time you pick up a can of some process food that you know you are hurting your body by eating it. The diet itself is common sence (we all know what we SHOUTD be eating) and Jillian gives you a couple different options so anyone can follow it. There's a basic table of good food types the non cook can use to pick and choose from. There are also meal plans and recipies for those more advanced in the kitchen, so something for everyone. I rated the book a 4 simply because it's so technical and a little daunting to read, I think most people (including myself) will have to reread it to really absorb the information but, I think Jillian has done the world a service and finally put the word out that the majority of the food industry is poisioning us with chemicals that our body can not process so it aborbs it to the detriment of our health.

Love Jillian and love this book! Another GREAT weight loss book is enLIGHTened: How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat, Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer, by Canada's own Jessica Berger Gross (she teaches at UBC). Part memoir and part how to guide, the book helps you think about why you're eating too much, and sets you on the path toward losing weight and keeping it off for good. It's funny and compassionate and shows you how losing weight can actually be fun!Enlightened: How I Lost 40 Pounds with a Yoga Mat, Fresh Pineapples, and a Beagle Pointer

Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones By Suzanne Somers






Product Description

What if you could really feel better as you get older, or age without illness? What could be better than having your doctor tell you that you have the bones of a twenty-year-old, or the heart of a thirty-year-old? Follow the advice in Ageless, and you’ll discover your own internal fountain of youth! In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Somers reveals the secrets to a younger, healthier, and sexier you. Jam-packed with updated information on bioidentical hormone replacement and antiaging, Ageless will change your life forever. Suzanne talks about: • Antiaging medicine and how it can help work against the environmental assault that is making us sick • Menopause, which can become an enjoyable passage once the body is in perfect hormonal sync with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy • Why so many hysterectomies are unnecessary, how birth control pills may have contributed to the rise of them, and how to restore your body to perfect hormonal balance after having one • The importance of sleep and the healing work that nature does during this time

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. CHAPTER 1 Taking Charge of Your Own Health "To remain oblivious to the hidden regenerative processes inside your body will cause you to die unnecessarily young." - Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman, MD, Fantastic Voyage Five years have passed, and as of this writing I have now been happily pronounced cancer-free. What a relief. No longer does each ache and pain trigger a fear in me of "Oh God, is that 'it' coming back again?" Cancer does that to you. It's an inner nagging, a constant reminder that there could be something bigger than yourself lurking out there in the shadows, sitting back, like a predator, deciding when and if it cares to strike again. Now, finally, I can release that fear. The predator has been locked up, in prison, hopefully never to be let out again. Along the way in this war I have been fighting have come the blessings. I am truly loved by those who mean the most to me. They showed me this over and over during this time. Through it all, I learned about my own strength and courage. I didn't know I had it in me to buck the system by choosing unconventional therapies and doing it my way. But you see, I was never able to wrap my arms around the "standard of care" set forth by Western medicine as the way to treat cancer. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I needed to be emotionally strong to fight the battle. To help with that, I needed to be hormonally in balance. It is hard to be in a fighting mood when you are hormonally depressed. Balanced hormones keep your emotions in check and I believe (based on my research) are the most effective way to prevent cell proliferation (cancer). Unfortunately, Western medicine's "standard of care" believes that taking away all hormones prevents disease. I believed differently, so I didn't want to go off my bioidentical hormones. Nor did I want to undergo chemotherapy. You see, I do not believe in the "poison" theory of using chemotherapy. It is my belief that an environment of balanced hormones prevents disease. This is reinforced by many of the doctors interviewed in this book. For one thing, it ablates, or takes away, hormones. Chemotherapy does kill cancer cells, but it also kills the immune system. Without a strong immune system, cancer has a perfect opportunity to proliferate. We need a strong immune system, and balanced hormones to prevent disease. So it didn't make sense to me to "take away" hormones as a means to kill cancer. As I now see it, there are two ways to fight cancer: build up or destroy. Western medicine's standard of care is to destroy. Well-meaning though it may be, the idea of chemicalizing myself, destroying everything, and hoping my health would come back, coupled with the instructions to give up my hormone therapy, was not appealing. I decided to approach cancer by "building up." This took courage, because it is daunting to go against the course recommended by one's doctor. But because of the books I write and my understanding of the hormonal connection to health, I had a lot of information. I understood that hormonal balance is key to health and vitality. My decision to go against the standard of care was probably easier for me than it would be for other women not armed with the same information. I approached my cancer through balanced bioidentical hormone replacement and complemented this replacement with Iscador, an anthroposophic medicine whose function is to strengthen and build up the immune system so that disease cannot attack and invade. I believe this was the best decision of my life. Aside from the discomfort of injecting myself with Iscador every other day for these five years, my health has never been better. I have not had so much as a cold during this time; upon my last checkup, my immune system was so high that my doctor was ecstatic. He said he had never seen an immune system this strong in any of his adult patients. That information was able to put all my fears to rest. How could a life-threatening illness get past an immune system this strong? Great. I had done it. I beat it. I did it my way, with my body almost intact. So you can imagine my surprise (five years and one month after my initial diagnosis) when my gynecologist told me that I had a pre-precancerous condition (not cancer, not even precancer) growing in my uterus and that in order to prevent possible severe problems down the road, I would need to have my uterus removed. Why was the sleeping giant trying to rear its ugly head again? Luckily we caught this before it became cancer, yet it was serious enough to force the removal of an organ. I do not take the removal of any body part lightly. What was wrong? I have thought about this a lot. As a teenage mother, I was given my first major chemical, a shot to dry up my milk, and was encouraged to feed my baby Similac formula. In chapter 5 I will discuss at length the protective aspects of breast-feeding and prolactin production. Second, at age eighteen I was put on the early high-dose birth control pills and stayed on them for twenty-two years. Unknowingly, like so many women of my generation, these chemicals put me into a false menopause. All those years of chemicalization were dangerous to my health. Add to this scenario stress and environmental assault and a brutal childhood and you have a recipe for disaster. The ninth year of bioidentical hormone replacement, things started going wonky (this is my term--don't expect your doctors to use it!). I had breakthrough bleeding, and then after a while I was bleeding continuously. Something was wrong, obviously. You must understand that because bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is such a new science, all the medical professionals working in this arena are learning as fast as they can, but with each year we all learn more. At this point in my BHRT, I had not heard of "rhythmic cycling," which I will explain in great detail later. In the way I was taking hormones on a static dose, my estrogen was not rising and falling as it once did in nature, and my progesterone was not rising and falling as it did when I was making a full complement of hormones in my youth. (See the diagram.) Because of this, my receptor sites were not opening to receive the progesterone, so the estrogen lining in my uterus kept building and building. Over time, like a motor on "rev," this thinkening caused excessive bleeding and sent an alarm to my brain that "all was not well," that this human being was no longer able to reproduce (which is why, according to nature, we exist). Because I was bleeding constantly, I was not ovulating. Thus I was not a reproductive person, according to my brain. You must understand that the object of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is to fool the brain into thinking I can still make a baby, even though I have no eggs left. As a result of not having a rhythm, and of the thickening and the bleeding, severe hyperplasia, along with adenomyosis (leaks in my uterine lining), came about. This excessive bleeding and hyperplasia created a perfect scenario for cancer, so I had no choice but to remove my uterus, thus removing my problem. I now feel that had I not been chemicalized by the "dry-up" shot, and if I had not been on strong birth control pills, and if I had been cycling in a rhythmic fashion, this problem might not have occurred. This is a theory that I have embraced, as have several of the doctors I interviewed for this book. As you will also see in these interviews, there are other doctors who do not agree with rhythmic cycling or with cycling in general. My job is to give you all the information from these professionals so you can draw your own conclusions. I am not a doctor, but I am a very informed layperson. I will explain rhythmic cycling in detail in chapter 5, and you can then decide what makes the most sense to you. I am merely the messenger. Losing my uterus caused me to do a lot of searching. For years, I was unknowingly hormonally imbalanced, not just as a perimenopausal and menopausal woman, but also as a young woman. Unfortunately, I never realized hormonal imbalance was the problem. Without hormones or imbalanced hormones, we lose any grip on feeling "normal." Without hormones, life quality is greatly diminished. Without hormones, a woman is at her weakest physically. Without hormones, disease is allowed to proliferate because the brain perceives that the body is no longer reproductive; therefore, nature wants to "eliminate" you to make way for those who are healthy and reproductive. Loss of hormones is not to be taken lightly. Having no hormones is like having bad premenstrual syndrome (PMS) every day of your life. You are not in control of your emotions, nor are you in control of the cruel physical manifestations of the loss of hormones. Couple this with the stress of having and fighting cancer, and (to me) it doesn't make sense to be without hormones. You see, we may have changed with the passing of time, but the biology inside us has not. Nature has a job to do, and the brain was hard-wired at the begining of time and doesn't know anything else. A healthy woman is hormonally balanced. We can't "outthink" nature. This never works, no matter how hard we try to come up with something better. Women remain confused about hormones and in some cases terrified of hormone replacement; one day, headlines in the newspapers praise hormone replacement therapy (HRT); the next day, the headlines are screaming that HRT will kill us. The truth is, despite the widespread use of synthetic hormone brands such as Premarin and Provera, these drugs have always been associated with cancer. The first cancer linked with synthetic hormone replacement was cancer of the uterus lining (endometrium). The most recent resurfacing of the negatives associated with synthetic hormones and cancer came fr...

Best One Yet This is by far the best and most informative book I have read by Suzanne Somers yet. The Doctors that she interviews in this book are top notch and they really give a tremendous amount of their knowledge about Bio Identical Hormones and other helpful information to help us women get back on the road to perfect health after our hormones start to dwindle away on us. This book has helped me alot, and I highly recommend it!

A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF HEALTH This book is an absolute MUST for all women (and men). It has totally changed my thinking about hormone balancing and acquiring bioidential products and finding a doctor that supports this new approach to medicine. I only wished I had read this book years ago.

Begin with this book A better and healthier life, a life of youthful energy comes as a result of embracing natural anti-aging remedies. The author explains why our overly-reliant-on-drugs medicine is inadequate and outdated. In "Ageless" she presents a clear case that drugs will not make us better. Look for alternative sources, read good books on keeping yourself healthy. This book is one of them. Another great title that you may not miss is "Can We Live 150". The new approach to health presented in these books will give you back your lean body, shining hair, and great skin, making sure that you are eating correctly and exercising in moderation.

The Cellist of Sarajevo By Steven Galloway






Product Description

This brilliant novel with universal resonance tells the story of three people trying to survive in a city rife with the extreme fear of desperate times, and of the sorrowing cellist who plays undaunted in their midst. One day a shell lands in a bread line and kills twenty-two people as the cellist watches from a window in his flat. He vows to sit in the hollow where the mortar fell and play Albinoni’s Adagio once a day for each of the twenty-two victims. The Adagio had been re-created from a fragment after the only extant score was firebombed in the Dresden Music Library, but the fact that it had been rebuilt by a different composer into something new and worthwhile gives the cellist hope. Meanwhile, Kenan steels himself for his weekly walk through the dangerous streets to collect water for his family on the other side of town, and Dragan, a man Kenan doesn’t know, tries to make his way towards the source of the free meal he knows is waiting. Both men are almost paralyzed with fear, uncertain when the next shot will land on the bridges or streets they must cross, unwilling to talk to their old friends of what life was once like before divisions were unleashed on their city. Then there is “Arrow,” the pseudonymous name of a gifted female sniper, who is asked to protect the cellist from a hidden shooter who is out to kill him as he plays his memorial to the victims. In this beautiful and unforgettable novel, Steven Galloway has taken an extraordinary, imaginative leap to create a story that speaks powerfully to the dignity and generosity of the human spirit under extraordinary duress. From the Hardcover edition.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly Canadian Galloway (Ascension) delivers a tense and haunting novel following four people trying to survive war-torn Sarajevo. After a mortar attack kills 22 people waiting in line to buy bread, an unnamed cellist vows to play at the point of impact for 22 days. Meanwhile, Arrow, a young woman sniper, picks off soldiers; Kenan makes a dangerous trek to get water for his family; and Dragan, who sent his wife and son out of the city at the start of the war, works at a bakery and trades bread in exchange for shelter. Arrow's assigned to protect the cellist, but when she's eventually ordered to commit a different kind of killing, she must decide who she is and why she kills. Dragan believes he can protect himself through isolation, but that changes when he runs into a friend of his wife's attempting to cross a street targeted by snipers. Kenan is repeatedly challenged by his fear and a cantankerous neighbor. All the while, the cellist continues to play. With wonderfully drawn characters and a stripped-down narrative, Galloway brings to life a distant conflict. (May) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Review "For historians, the siege of Sarajevo might seem the appropriate finale of the century that invented world wars, nuclear arms and planet destruction. That is precisely the reason why Sarajevo should belong to artists and not experts. In this vivid, passionate and generous novel Galloway takes us there, to the very streets of the besieged city. Snipers above us, cameras among us, shards of dreams beneath us, and each wrong step can lead to death or, worse, loss of dignity." —Dragan Todorovic, author of The Book of Revenge "Steven Galloway’s The Cellist of Sarajevo is a wonderful story, a tribute to the human spirit in the face of insanity." —Kevin Baker, author of Dreamland and Paradise Alley "A gripping story of Sarajevo under siege." —J. M. Coetzee “I cannot imagine a lovelier, more beautifully wrought book about the depravity of war as The Cellist of Sarajevo. Each chapter is a brief glimpse at yet another aspect of the mind, the heart, the soul -- altogether Galloway gives us fine, deep notes of human music which will remain long after the final page.” — ZZ Packer “Though the setting is the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, this gripping novel transcends time and place. It is a universal story, and a testimony to the struggle to find meaning, grace, and humanity, even amid the most unimaginable horrors.” –Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns “Steven Galloway is a precocious writer of astonishing talent and creative imagination whose third novel lives up, in every respect, to the high bar set by his first two. The Cellist of Sarajevo captures with taut, painstaking clarity the events and atmosphere surrounding the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s. . . . Galloway once again shows himself to be as gifted as he is fearless. If it weren’t for the fact that he teaches creative writing, I’d say it was time to give up his day job.” — Emily Donaldson, Quill & Quire (starred review) “A darkly powerful novel about the insanity of war, the anonymous dying of a city under siege. Written with elegance and style, it is an unforgettable story about our limitless human spirit in a time of tragedy.” –Owen Sound Sun Times “A story that speaks to the dignity and generosity of the human spirit under duress.” –The Guelph Mercury “Gripping. . . . Every action, no matter how mundane, is charged with tension. . . . Galloway has shown that contemporary fiction can move beyond the minute examination of self and relationship. We are asked to gaze, instead, on a city, a society, in the process of being destroyed, and on the tiny human gestures that represent the only means to repair the damage.” –National Post “Although Galloway’s characters weigh the value of their lives against the choices they must make, he effectively creates a fifth character in the city itself, capturing the details among the rubble and destruction that give added weight to his memorable novel.” –Booklist “Undeniably suspenseful.” –The Sydney Morning Herald “A grand and powerful novel about how people retain or reclaim their humanity when they are under extreme duress.” –Yann Martel’s pick for www.whatisstephenharperreading.ca “Galloway delivers a tense and haunting novel. . . . With wonderfully drawn characters and a stripped-down narrative, Galloway brings to life a distant conflict.” - Publishers Weekly “A novel about trying to cross the street. The description, though, does not do justice to Galloway’s spare, elegant prose or to the haunting images the author creates in this fine and affecting novel.” –Edmonton Journal “At once an expansion and a deepening of the thematic concerns that weave themselves throughout his work and a glittering testament to the power of art to counteract hatred and division. . . . Galloway’s novel, bursting with life, is a vivid reminder of the power of art to dispel the darkness.” –The Vancouver Sun “[V]ery nearly perfect, a galvanizing examination of the strength of the human heart, and the possibility of the survival of the human spirit in the most dire of circumstances. It will be impossible for readers not to imagine themselves in these characters’ shoes, wondering what they would do in similar circumstances. That personalization, which creates an understanding of a tragedy previously only glanced over in the pages of the morning paper, is, in itself, the highest of achievements.” –Ottawa Citizen “Written in visceral, cinematic prose . . . Galloway’s compassionate story about the consequences of war is riveting from beginning to end. It will undoubtedly linger in the minds of many readers long after they finish it.” –Winnipeg Free Press “Sensuous and precise, Galloway’s prose captures the unbidden movement between personal and public space, the contradiction of being trapped in a city one would not think of leaving, even if one could. This portrayal of what it’s like to live in the despair of the present, but with an unkillable knowledge that things can be otherwise, is what connects Galloway’s characters–and his novel–with the mission and the legacy of the cellist of its title.” –The Globe and Mail “Perfect in that way only a true story can be. . . . [Galloway] is a surprisingly mature and self-confident storyteller. . . . His writing is meticulous and purposeful. War may be hell, but in this novel it’s an unsentimental, almost pedestrian hell and all the more compelling for it. The Cellist of Sarajevo is a sombre, stirring performance.” –The Gazette (Montreal) From the Hardcover edition.

About the Author Steven Galloway is the author of Finnie Walsh and Ascension. He teaches creative writing at UBC and SFU, and lives with his wife and two young daughters in New Westminster, British Columbia. From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews

The Cellist of Sarajevo I enjoyed this book fully. The book was a real in-site into what it is like to live in a war torn country. Galloway showed people's passion for life, as well as their fears. He showed how the human spirit has hope for the future and the strength to carey on in the face of great adversity. Galloway raised the questions in me ,"Could I live through that and how would I have reacted in those situations?". A great read.

An Amazing Novel! I was immediately swept up in this story! It is sad, but rich and compelling and moving. Clear your calender, as this one is immpossible to put down! I highly reccommend it.

A Story About Humanity I read "The Cellist of Sarajevo" in one sitting and I have to say that it was the most emotionally invested I've been in recent memory over a novel. Set during the siege of Sarajevo during the early 90s, the fictional story of three main characters and a lone cellist will make you think more about what it means to be human, what humans are capable of at their worst and at their best. As for the writing, I found Galloway to be superb in the way he described some of the more terrible scenes of carnage. Also, the struggle for survival and the motives behind each character are very well developed. As mentioned, there is a deep emotional attachment as a reader towards the characters in the novel. Overall I can find no fault at all with "The Cellist of Sarajevo." I would not be surprised to see this book turned into a movie someday, just a wonderful story of what it means to be a human being.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author Rick Gallop’s bestselling G.I. Diet was published in 2002 and quickly became the most successful Canadian diet book ever, with more than two million copies sold worldwide. It is currently available in twenty-three countries, in a dozen different languages. Gallop holds a Masters degree from Oxford University and was president and CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Menopause and Weight Gain Now, here are a few basic facts about menopause and how it can have an impact upon your weight. Besides genetics, it is hormonal changes that occur during a woman’s life cycle that are the principal trigger for weight gain. Principal hormonal changes take place in adolescence, pregnancy and menopause. All of you have experienced adolescence and the associated weight gain from the rounding out of hips, breasts and thighs. The resulting body image and associated weight consciousness was for many the beginning of a lifetime struggle. Next, many of you experienced the major hormonal shifts of pregnancy with its inevitable weight gain. The final hormonal shift takes places during menopause, where again many women feel its effects. This may come as a surprise, but the link between menopause and weight gain is not clearly understood. There are several reasonable theories, but nothing conclusive to date. However, we do know why women’s traditional “pear” shape, with weight distribution around the bottom, hips and thighs, shifts to the more prevalent male “apple” shape with the middle (read beer belly!) carrying the weight. This is because the female hormone, estrogen, was responsible for the development of your female shape during adolescence. During menopause estrogen production in your ovaries drops, so your body shape redistributes and you accumulate more fat around your abdomen. It’s this increase in abdominal fat that has serious implications for your health, especially heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The likely causes of weight gain during menopause are a combination of both hormonal and age-related factors. Here’s what we do know: • Estrogen/progesterone: Both estrogen and progesterone hormones become depleted during menopause and this interferes with appetite control. In one research program, some HRT (hormone therapy replacement) users showed less weight gain and less redistribution of weight, though those prone to weight gain did not appear to benefit. • Metabolism: This is the rate at which your body burns calories. During and post-menopause your metabolic rate drops. So if you burn calories more slowly then you need fewer calories. This change in metabolic rate is partly due to the natural aging process. Remember, burning fewer calories without reducing your calorie input inevitably leads to weight gain. • Muscle mass: Muscles are the body’s largest calorie consumers and we start losing muscle mass from the age of 20. This muscle loss really accelerates during post-menopause (for men it’s post 60 years) which means again you’re burning fewer calories and therefore putting on the pounds if you haven’t adjusted your calorie consumption. • Physical activity: As we approach our fifties (average North American menopause age is 51 years) many of us become less active. Child rearing and its associated activity are largely over. Exercise becomes more of an effort and we become more conscious of the wear and tear on our bodies along with the inevitable aches and pains. Less exercise means fewer calories burned – and we know where the surplus calories are being stored! • Lifestyle: As many of us now have fewer family-raising responsibilities and are entering our peak earnings years, we tend to eat out and travel more. Eating out tends to be a calorie-rich experience. So, as you can see, while hormonal changes are somewhat responsible for weight gain during menopause, the aging process itself also has a substantial impact. The two are inextricably linked. The one common element in all the factors I’ve mentioned is calorie intake and expenditure. The two must be brought into balance – and that is what the G.I. Diet is all about. I will show you how to reduce your calorie intake painlessly and without going hungry or feeling deprived. The traffic-light coding means you never have to count calories or points, or weigh and measure your food. The G.I. Diet is a nutritious, balanced diet that will keep you healthy and reduce your risk of major diseases, including most cancers (including breast cancer) heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia. The evidence that food is the most important controllable risk factor in our health is overwhelming. While exercise is important for overall good health, it is a poor tool when it comes to losing weight. As you will read later, losing weight is 90 percent diet and 10 percent exercise. However, when you reach your target weight, exercise is essential to help you maintain that weight and improve your health. How to Read a Food Label When reading a food label, there are six factors to consider when making the best green-light choice: Serving Size Is the serving size realistic, or has the manufacturer lowered it to make the calories and fat levels look better than the competition’s? When comparing brands, ensure that you are comparing the same serving size. Calories The product with the least amount of calories is obviously the best choice. Some products flagged as “low-fat” still have plenty of calories, so don’t be fooled by the diet-friendly slogans. Calories are calories, whether they come from fat or sugar. Fat Look at the amount of fat, which is often expressed as a percentage, say 2 percent (good) or 20 percent (forget it). Then check to see what sort of fat it is. You want foods that are low-fat, with minimal or no saturated fats and trans fats. Remember that trans fats are often called “hydrogenated oils” or “partially hydrogenated oils.” Fibre Foods with lots of fibre have a low G.I., so this is an important component. When comparing brands, choose the one with higher fibre. Sugar Choose products that are low in sugar. Again, watch for products advertised as “low-fat.” Companies will sometimes quietly bump up the sugar content to make up for any perceived loss of taste. This often happens with yogurts and cereals. Sugars are sometimes listed as dextrose, glucose, fructose or sucrose; regardless of the form, it’s sugar. Sodium Sodium (salt) increases water retention, which doesn’t help when you are trying to lose weight. It also contributes to premenstrual bloating in women and is a factor in hypertension (high blood pressure). Combine high blood pressure with excess weight and you move up to the front of the risk line for heart disease and stroke. Low-sodium products are therefore preferable. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for sodium is 2,500 mg, but this is generally regarded as too high. The U.S. National Academy of Science’s new recommendation of 1,500 mg makes more sense. Since the average North American consumption of sodium per person per day is over 3,000 mg, it goes without saying that most of us could stand to cut back. However, if you have a BMI over 30 and have any blood pressure, circulation or heart problems, you need to be even more vigilant about seeking out low-sodium brands. Canned foods such as soups are often very high in sodium, as are many fast foods and processed foods. You’ve talked to your doctor, decided there’s no better time than the present to lose weight and get healthy, set your weight-loss target, cleared your kitchen of fat-building foods, and restocked your pantry with delicious green-light choices. Now all you have to do is eat green-light meals and snacks each day and you’re well on your way to your new trim self. In the next section, you’ll find a week-by-week guide to all the challenges and issues that will come up as you follow the G.I. Diet for the first thirteen weeks. By the end of it you will know everything there is to know to achieve your weight-loss dreams, and you’ll have lost a significant amount of weight along the way! Fast Food Most of the leading fast-food restaurants have introduced menu items that are lower in fat and calories. However, the amount of sodium (salt) that is often added to offset any perceived flavour loss is a concern. Remember, salt retains liquid, which is the last thing you need when you’re trying to lose weight, yet alone trying to keep your blood pressure down. If you are not sure about salt levels, ask your server for a nutritional information sheet, which most family and fast food restaurant chains carry. A couple of ground rules: 1. Always eat burgers and sandwiches opened-faced, throwing away the top slice of bread or bun. 2. Use at most, one-third of the salad dressing normally provided in a sachet as it contains far more than you would ever need, and only adds unnecessary calories and salt to your meal. Choose the light or vinaigrette dressings over creamy ones. Here is a more detailed rundown of your best choices at some of the larger fast-food chains: Subway This chain has been a pacesetter in the fast-food industry in reducing fat and calories in its meals. Subway’s 6-inch/6g fat subs on whole wheat or honey oat bread are your best choices. Just be careful not to load on those high-fat/-calorie extras such as cheese, bacon and high-sugar sauces. Mr. Sub and other similar sandwich chains are following this lead. McDonald’s McDonald’s grilled chicken salads are a good bet with a low-fat dressings. You can even go for a Fruit ’n’ Yogurt Parfait dessert (hold the granola). Burger King Again, grilled chicken salads, or a chicken sandwich with garden salad, are your best options. You also may consider a Veggie Burger (without mayo) and a garden salad. Wendy’s Grilled chicken sandwich or salads are acceptable along with low-fat dressings. You might consider a large chili with side salad. Pizza Hut Normally I recommend...

Customer Reviews

This is a huge different then Game Cube!!! If you own the Game Cube version, I will say, you better buy this one!! Since you can enjoy the fun that using your remote as a REAL GUN to target, because I bought the "light gun" holder, wow, it's so much fun!!!

Wii Edition is best [late review] I can't believe quite a few people are complaning about this game, even though it is the best offer. It seems you can't please 100% of the crowd, no matter what you make or do. So, what the graphics are dated? What did you expect from a 3 year old game? It makes the game better, that you are playing something that you remember, or for the first time. Nintendo has endless proven that graphics don't make the game, quality does. I'm all for this, since the game market has been inflated ever since 2000. Why are some people also complaning about the control style? Now this is stupid. If you don't like the excellent, realistic controls of the wii remote and nunchuck, you can also use a classic controller, or even plug in a GCN controller. How can you even complain about the controls, other than you can strafe or move while aiming? As for story, the story is interesting all the way through. I like how it takes a few steps from the depature while letting character development allow for the main character that you play as, Leon S. Kennedy. (hope I spelled his name right) You also have quite a bit of bonus features from the Ps2 version, with Gamecube graphics, which are more signifigant than the Ps2 version. There also is nearly no lag, the lag is not even noticable sometimes. The cutscenes are pretty amazing, they do something that keeps you interested: You have to press buttons, at certain times so you can never really put that control down, until the credits roll, you are at unrest. The enemies are also different than zombies. Even though they still are infected, they are much smarter. I'm all for AI, they are much harder than Zombies sometimes, you can notice that they all have minds of their own sometimes, but even than they sometimes rush at you. You have limited ammunition, so you often have to have good aim, and travel for hidden suprises, like ammo crates. Yes, this is the most mainstream Resident Evil, and also one of the most critized, however it doesn't deserve all of the negativity it has been getting. Ocarina of Time now has been released 4 times in a row, and no one has been giving it negative reviews. 5/5

I want my classic RE As most complain that the Resident Evil series got boring and repetitive prior to RE4...but i disagree. I've been a fan since the release of the first title on PSX, adored the series over the years...RE5 looks awesome but i miss the classic games (If you have a Wii or Gamecube, buy Resident Evil [REMAKE])

Sleeper Hit Bad name, bad advertising, for what is an otherwise excellent game. Puzzles you'll obsess over (unless you buy an in-game cheat), and think will take you 5 minutes to figure out will eat up half an hour easily; then you'll get it, step back and think "wow, that's pretty smart; wow again, I'm pretty smart to get it" (and if you end up buying this game you are pretty smart, pat yourself on the back). You'll tell your friends about this game, but they won't get what the fuss is about unless they actually sit down to play it. Looks pretty good too. And is $10 cheaper than the usual Wii game--what was Capcom thinking? Hope they make a sequel; but for that people need to start buying it. So stop reading reviews and buy it already!

Best game on the Wii! Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure is the best game on the Wii right now. It's puzzling and amazing and while it looks like a kids game, it's great for everyone. No matter how intelligent you might be, you'll get challenged by Zack and Wiki. Go buy it. ;)

Difficult, but Very Rewarding First thing you need to know, this is not an easy game. Oh sure, it starts off easy, but it ramps up really fast. And that is a good thing. When you solve a puzzle, you get this amazing "Wow" moment, especially in the later levels. Oh sure, you'll die a good number of times, but you will never feel any disappointment over this game.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com The Wii sequel to Big Brain Academy for Nintendo DS includes three multiplayer modes for up to eight players. Players also can exchange student-record books with other players over WiiConnect24 and compete against their save data. With 15 new activities that challenge the brain in single-player Test and Practice modes, Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree sees how players measure up in five categories: Identify, Memorize, Analyze, Compute and Visualize. All activities are designed around the Wii Remote's pointer. Players can play solo with one Wii Remote, or pass it around like a relay baton in group competitions.

Sample activities: The activities in Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree are fun minigames with a ton of variety, and they're meant to be played rapid-fire for a short time as players push their brains to do more than they did the day before. Here are three of the activities included in the game:

● Art Parts: In this Visualize activity, players must complete the sample painting by stamping the missing pieces onto an unfinished scene. When it becomes more difficult, Art Parts flips the unfinished scene sideways or flips it upside-down.

● Balloon Burst: In this Compute activity, players must pop balloons in rising numerical order. At its easiest, there are few balloons shown at once. On a higher difficulty level, Balloon Burst sends in more balloons, including some with negative numbers.

● Fast Focus: In this Identify activity, players see a distorted image that slowly returns to normal. Players must select what it is as soon as they figure it out. As it grows more difficult, Fast Focus starts with a more heavily distorted image, so it takes longer to identify what it is.

How to progress through the game: When players start a new game, they'll meet the whimsical Dr. Lobe, who will suggest that they take on the Test mode challenge: playing all 15 activities that span the five brainy categories. He'll tell players how big their brain is based on how well they did and how fast they did it. He'll encourage players to take the Test often and to use Practice mode to beef up their skills in all 15 of the activities. Practice mode also offers three difficulty levels for each activity, and Dr. Lobe will award several medals for high achievement in each one.

Multiplayer: Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree offers three ways for groups to play:

● Mental Marathon: Speed through activities to buy more time to stay in the game. Go it solo or as a team, but if anyone botches an activity, the game is done (1-8 players, one Wii Remote).

● Mind Sprint: Form a team to compete against a system-controlled competitor that "thinks" like a selected student record (1-4 players with one Wii Remote). Or separate into two teams (2-8 players with two Wii Remotes). The first side to complete a set number of problems wins.

● Brain Quiz: Play game-show style with up to four teams that compete in a total of 20 activities, since five extra activities are available in this mode. (1-8 players, one Wii Remote)

Mii compatibility: Everyone who enrolls in the academy will choose a Mii, which will walk down the school's hallway and pop up during Wii Remote handoffs to help explain which teammate goes next in multiplayer matches.

Wii Remote audio: Players will get encouragement and hear color commentary from a "Wii Remote Coach" who speaks to the player through the Wii Remote speakers.

WiiConnect24: In Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, players can send and receive student-record books full of brainy data. By establishing WiiConnect24 ties with Wii Friends who own the game, players can all see their academies affected in several fun ways:

● Compare distant students' test scores with those of the local student body on the Student Scores board. Distant students' records are shown as books.

● Compete against distant students' brains in Mind Sprint. Players actually play against game-controlled competitors that "think" based on brainy strengths and weaknesses in their student records.

● The distant player's "Mii student" will walk the hallways with the player's own student body. Players can make WiiConnect24 connections with many students, adding many Miis to their crowd.

Players are encouraged to send and receive each others' records frequently, so that their academies have up-to-date results for competition and comparison. In this way, individual academies can join a personal network of schools and push each other to develop their brains further.

Good for the casual gamer. This is just another Wii game for casual gamers. I must admit though, it's pretty fun. There are two teams - Mario's team and Sonic' tram and you can participate in several different olympic activities that take advantage of the Wii remote. I rented it and in my opinion it's better to wait for a price drop though.

A fun and casual game. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics is definitely a solid game. Good graphics and gameplay built through the game, however it is definitely a casual game with no storyline/career mode. Great for playing with friends or by yourself (can your Mii go head-to-head in a sprint with Sonic himself?). Definitely worth the money if you enjoyed Wii sports and want to continue your sports/mini games experience on the Wii.

Revolutionary control

You've never played Super Monkey Ball like

this before! Tilt, twist, roll, and jump all with the revolutionary Wii controller. The Wii's remote sensor picks up your every move as you slip and slide through colorful environments with the same tricky gameplay moves and colorful environments you know and love from the Monkey Ball series.

The single-player puzzle levels in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz have been innovatively designed to challenge gamers' skills like never before. For the first time in Super Monkey Ball, AiAi and his friends will have the ability to jump when players flick the Nintendo Revolution controller in an upward motion. The ability to jump has given game designers another dimension in which to expand the Super Monkey Ball gameplay experience and allows gamers a whole new way to interact with the franchise; this time in true three-dimensional fashion. Unlockable multiplayer games support one to four players and offer stiff competition. Think you've mastered the Wii controller? Put your money where your mouth is as you take on three friends in various match-based games of skill and familiar sports favorites.

Many many mini-games

The Party Games, for which the Super Monkey Ball franchise is famous, return with more variety than ever and over 50 total. As an added bonus, all of the Party Games are unlocked the first time you spin up the game in your Wii. An abundance of new Party Games have been creatively designed to take advantage of the Revolution controller in a multitude of ways. Gamers will find themselves competing in a traditional game of ring toss, fighting aliens in space with "Alien Attack," or even smacking pesky moles in a game of "Whack-a-Mole." With each mini-game, players use the Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz's large library of Party Games is sure to inspire friendly competition anytime.

New characters roll onto the scene

AiAi, MeeMee, GonGon, and Baby will be joined by new characters YanYan; a young, vivacious female monkey and Doctor; an older monkey with a past steeped in mystery due to his acute case of amnesia. The addition of YanYan and Doctor also marks another first for the Super Monkey Ball franchise, differing skill-set levels for each character. Each character will have strengths and weaknesses in categories such as acceleration, speed, and jumping ability. Even the size of the monkey ball and its weight will play a role in a character's performance in the game.

Doctor is a mysterious old that drifted down to Monkey Island from an unknown origin. He suffers from amnesia and doesn't even remember his own name. However, he is a well-liked, smart inventor, and everyone in town knows him as Doctor. Doctor has the highest acceleration out of the whole gang, but it's probably aided by some sort of contraption he invented. Being a bit on the old side his jumping skills aren't what they used to be as well, but he is still a good monkey to play with.

YanYan is a young girl that recently moved close to AiAi's neighborhood. She is a fearless girl, a master of the mightiest Monkey martial art of pugilism, Hachi-en-Ken. She might have fallen in love with AiAi and sometimes becomes very shy around him. YanYan is the highest jumper of the entire group. Her vivatious energy allows her to reach heights that are unusual for her size. If you like to jump, YanYan is the monkey to choose.

Customer Reviews

A real bargain with tons of fun! 51 games for the price of 1! What a great deal! The main Monkey Ball game is a challenge. The moves are tricky. The game requires good balance and coordination and concentration. It is not one of those games you can blow off in an afternoon. It will keep you coming back in an attempt to finish it! The best part of this game is the 50 extra games that come with it. They are short and fun. They are perfect to play at a party. Most of them support 1 to 4 players with a handful supporting only 1 to 2 players. They are all sports related, but with wacky twists. Both adults and kids have had fun times at our house playing these hilarious head to head to head to head games! This game is a winner just on value for money alone... add in hours and hours of family fun and you have a sure fire winner!

A bit hard to handle... While the graphics were great and the concept of the game fun and cute - I find the execution and the handling of the characters too be very challenging in the single player mode. I could not move beyond the second world... Therefore for someone like myself who does not consider themselves a "gamer" - I would not recommend this game. In the "mini games" even novice players can find a handful of games to enjoy... however Wii sports has similar games that have a much better execution. Over all - unless you are obsessed with monkeys, I'd pass on this one.

A Barrel Full of Monkey's! This is a great game. Graphics are fun. The levels get insane as you move along. Very addicting!

Customer Reviews

Actually not that bad... I've seen many reviews that found this game substandard for something out of the resident evil franchise but I thought it was worth the money. The learning curve isn't that steep but it definitely takes some time getting used to the control. Personally I kept on confusing the button for weapons switching and the one for a knife. Except for the final Wesker mission ammos are plenty so you'll rarely be in desperate need of them. Especially if you're playing with someone else, you can be as trigger-happy as you want. The weapons consist of the usual variety, including a handgun with infinite ammo, shotguns (both the regular and Richard's) and machine guns. As you go along you can unlock more superior guns like a rocket launcher. It's good for final boss fights; it is way less time consuming and will contribute to getting a good result in the end. There are a few criteria in which you're examined, such as critical shots and total enemy kills. Since you can destroy almost anything in the game environment, the result takes that into account also and rewards a high count of objects destroyed. The grades range from S to C. (I haven't stumbled upon anything lower than C.) The better result you get, more stars you accumulate to improve your weapons' firepower, capacity, etc. (RE4-style.) The difficulty within the game varies according to chapters but also you can switch the overall difficulty yourself. Although the game gives you a brief summary of each game in the series, if you know the story you'll have a lot more fun because of the familiar surroundings and characters (with the same quality of lines and voice acting, which are totally lame). The game also encourages to collect documents which explain all the little (or big) mysteries behind the Umbrella corp. It's not the regular genre you'll find RE in but it's nice for a change and even non-RE fans can enjoy it. The story still has some loopholes and has new, even more obscure characters but they are excusable for the overall quality of the game.

I love this game!! i can say this a very great game. If you playing it by yourself, I think you gonna get bore quick, and may be wanna throw this game away. Yet if you play this game with one of your friend, that will be soooooo cool, since can enjoy enjoy the fun of partnership. In gernal, I love this game!!

Zombie fun! This is a great game for fans of zombies movies and lightgun games. This game is about shooting down hordes of zombies, mutants and other various creature. It is also a great way to catch up a bit with the classic resident evil story and offers a great deal of bonus information about the characters and the creatures of the Resident Evil mythos. You can get a good deal of replay value trying to find all the hidden files and by trying to better your score for the mission and by upgrading your arsenal of weapons. This game received a lot of criticism for not being the classic cliche resident evil horror survival game. I'm telling you to ignore all of that criticism! This is a great arcade style shooter that is a lot of fun that offers a rapid paced game.

Enjoyed the first of this series, so I was confident in purchasing this sequel.

Just sat through about my first 3 hours in co-op mode (2 player mode). We had great fun trying to master the art of surgery and get high grades. I own the previous one Trauma Center- Second Opinion. I enjoyed the manga style art and how they set it up as a soap opera style (hmm..bordering anime style as well). Graphics are good in this game. The only drawback is you cannot fly past the rambling adding to the soap. Which cost it a star in this rating, same problem in the previous game. My wrist hurt more just trying to press A to get past the rambling of game characters. This game really gets you into using your Wiimote and nunchuk simultaneously in single or co-op mode. Gameplay for me is 5 out of 5. Being a fan of the series I enjoyed the additional story line. This time you are in a remote area in Alaska. No worries they seem to be able to get hold of an arsenal of hospital equipment. :))) I play this on a LCD tv, and it looks great to me, graphic wise. Quite detailed and realistic, in a cartoon body. :P As for kids getting into this game..I would advise parents rent this and play it first. This way you know what you wish for them to see. Its not bloodshed; like shooting games, but there is blood, broken bones, etc. Warning: No English game manual, included. Just French. There are in game tutorials that easily guide you through. Along with giving you plenty of time practice. Once you start a tutorial, you cannot skip any steps etc. IF you need a manual just turn the game holder over and check for the company web address. Once there just wait for the page to load and 'download manual' will appear there. I really didn't need it. ***I currently play games on the Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, Guild Wars online, and dabble in Diable II- online. Just to give you an idea of my gaming experience.

Great Follow Up to Trauma Centre: Second Opinion When I first bought my Wii last year, one of the first games that I got was Trauma Centre: Second Opinion (the predecessor to New Blood). When I found out a sequel was out, and now two players can operation simultaneously, I got the game right away, and it definitely did not disappoint. As with the previous Trauma Centre game, you play the role of a surgeon who operates on patients with various ailments. The challenges can be split into two main categories: "normal" medical conditions such as broken bones and tumors, and "biological weapons", which are viruses with attack capabilities. You use the nunchuck to select your medical equipment (forceps, scalpel, antibiotic gel etc), and you use the wiimote to apply/use these equipment. The controls are quite intuitive once you get the hang of it. For example, to use the forceps, you would squeeze the A + B button to produce a "squeeze" motion, and pulling left or right then dislodges objects. Applying antibiotic gel is simply pointing at the wound and pressing A. While the controls may seem complicated at first, the first couple of levels are tutorials. Once you play a couple of times, you can perform the procedures very quickly. Compared to the first game, you get to perform more procedures on the "normal" medical conditions, and I personally don't find the biological weapons viruses to be as hard to defeat. Regardless, what makes the game stellar this time is the two player co-op mode. Being able to operate with someone else simultaneously adds to the excitement, and you might find yourselves fighting over who should treat the wound! However, I also think that the two player co-op mode is a drawback. At times, it feels like the game is designed for two people, so it is almost impossible to complete certain levels with just one person (to be fair, it may also be because I haven't mastered the healing touch yet) Replay value comes from trying to get a higher rank on the same surgery. I haven't tried any sort of online capabilities related to this game yet. Overall, I would say that this game is pretty much the same as Trauma Centre: Second Opinion, except now you have 2 player co-op mode. If you're buying this as a 1 player game and have Second Opinion already, I wouldn't recommend that, as it doesn't have much improvement/new tricks compared to the first one. But the two player option is worth the $50. If you don't have any Trauma Centre games for the Wii yet, definitely give New Blood a try. It's a fun game that fully utilizes the innovative controls of the Wii.

Simply fun Me and my friend started playing two weeks ago and we can't stop ever since. He tought because this was a medical game that he'd be discusted by the blood or something, but instead is as intrested as me! The story is very great for this kind of game, and the most attractive new gameplay option is the two player option! You can play with an "assistant surgeon" as i like to call by buddy XD I must say this is a must buy for fans of the serie and for any kind of gamer (I suggest a rental first, maybe this isn't your style of game after all). I suggest that if you're very nerveous, you should stay far from this game, as being a surgeon makes you nervous... alot!

Customer Reviews

Disapointed The game was a lot of fun for the first hour but now it has become very mundane. There are only 3 stories over and over again. All you do is increase levels and increase the killing. No extra "special" screens when you change levels. Increase in weapons and uniforms but no extra game play.

Short but good party game As a port of the Arcade game, one round of Ghost Squad will be finished within 15 mins. However, if you really like light gun shooters, you will be replaying this game quite a few times as you try to unlock all the guns, costumes, and levels. Best of all, you can play it with 4 players, be it using Wiimote or Wii Zapper. A nice touch this game have is that you can calibrate your shots, so that if you trust your sensor bar enough, you can turn of the aim reticule and use line of sight. If you want something longer (30mins), go for House of the dead 2&3; If you want a full game, go for Resident Evil:Umbrella Chronicles; however, those only have two players. If you just want something that is fun, especially in a party, pick this game up.

Great Fun! If you like arcade shooters, this is for you. I picked this up along with the Zapper & Links package from Amazon. The Links game is cool, but you really need another game like this one to have a lot more fun out of the Zapper. I like xbox 360 shooter games like Ghost Recon, but for the Wii, Ghost Squad is so much fun. The game's arcade style makes it easy to pick up and play for anyone. For $29, it's great bang for your buck.

Customer Reviews

Surprisingly fun. Super Smash Brothers Brawl was a game that my 8 year old daughter chose for her birthday gift. I really didn't want to buy her that one because I was unsure about what it really was but it was her choice. It has turned out to be a pretty fun game. My husband and daughter like it alot. She has played it more than all of the other 15 games we have (other than Mario Kart of course). It has some very neat aspects and modes of play that aren't found in the other wii games we own so its a nice change from the standard walking your character through worlds. It features all of the favorite characters too which is really fun because each has its own strengths. Even though its a fighting game its not violent.

An evolution of the Super Smash Bros. genre Within the depths of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the answer to that eternal question: "If Mario and Link were in a game, who would win?" Brawl allows you to control characters from a myriad of Nintendo properties, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Link, Zelda, Samus, Captain Falco, and Kirby, to name a few. Along with this distinguished list of alumni, there are characters from other markets: Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series, for instance, as well as Sonic from Sega. If you've played the original Smash Bros. for the 64, the pacing of Brawl will be familiar (Melee fans take note: gameplay is a touch slower and seemingly a bit more strategic than the Gamecube version). Classic stages from the previous two games are included, and like before, you'll be spending a slew of time unlocking various characters and stages. A new component of Brawl is the "Final Smash." In a match, a pulsating orb will appear. Should you break open this orb, your character will gain a one-time incredibly powerful attack, the effects of which vary from character to character. Needless to say, when one appears, that's the focus of every character's attention. Another new mode is the "Subspace Emissary" (which reminds me less of Nintendo than it does of Deep Space Nine, which my wife and I are currently watching). I haven't gone too far into this single player mode, so I don't have a lot to say about it, but suffice to say that if it's not the icing on the cake, it's certainly a very pleasant cherry off to one side. A wide range of multiplayer options abound, including online play using Nintendo's free online service (though the friend code system is more than a bit cumbersome) and four players in front of one television set. The Wii-mote, Wii-mote & nunchuk, and traditional Gamecube controllers are all control options for the game. All in all, this game is well worth your attention if you played the N64 or GC versions of the game, if you're interested in fighting games, or if you've any interest in all in Nintendo characters. A highly polished game that definitely deserves your attention, though it is a bit frustrating to have to unlock some of the neater characters (Sonic, for instance) rather than giving them to you up-front.
