Madden is a franchise that needs no introduction. Weither you love the game or hate it, there’s no denying that Madden is one of theĀ biggest, most profitable gaming franchises in existence.
Xbox 360’s newest addition to the series is Madden NFL 2010. While some say the series plateaued long ago, there’s no denying that this is the biggest most realistic Madden yet.
Madden NFL 2010’s presentation has been tweaked from the traditional interface to an interface reminiscent of a cross between the NFL network and NBC, complete with a weekly recap on what went on with your franchise.
The feeling of integration into the NFL world is further enhanced by the inclusion of many well choreographed scripted scenes. Watching fans buying overprices memorabilia, referees arguing with each other, and coaches shouting at their teams gives an extra level of realism.
In terms of graphics, Madden NFL 2010 is the best Madden to date. Unique quarteback movement, fluid movement, and great animations all contribute to a fantastic overall appearance. Jukes and ever looked so good.
A new online franchise management mode and online co-op adds to the overall game play experience. Players can manage their team and trade players on their console, computer, or on an iPhone app. Co-op gameplay dismissed the traditional camera system in favor of a more close up camera angle.
Overall, Madden NFL 2010 is the most realistic, biggest, and best Madden to date. Though online co-op could still use some work, Madden is Madden NFL 2010 is Xbox 360’s most realistic football experience.

Far Cry is one of the best FPS on the market; there are very few games that really turn out as good as Far Cry did. The reason it really stood out to me was that it was HUGE the whole game was just massive. It isn’t like those other games were you can only go the way they tell you to go and fight who they tell you to fight. If you are passing a little camp and you don’t feel like fighting you can either set trap or just sneak past them.
It’s not just the big things that are remarkable; it’s also the little things. In most games the main character gets all the good graphics (though you don’t even get to see him) and they ignore the other guys. Not in Far Cry. I thought it was amazing how the graphics were so balanced throughout the whole game.

Fallout 3 is indeed a great game; the stunning weather really helps you get a feel for the game that you normal wouldn’t notice.
The game is like Oblivion the game is almost never-ending. Even when you finish the game there are still more mods to explore.
The only thing that really disappointed me was the level cap. I think the level cap is 99 in Oblivion but in Fallout 3 it’s 20. You wouldn’t think it’s that big of a deal but it just makes the game go by too fast because once you get to level 20 the game is over. Some modder will come with a mod that will fix that so there is probably nothing to worry about there. Overall I loved the game and I can’t wait util an expansion comes out!

Call of Duty: World at War is World War II with a twist: the game changes the rules by thrusting players into weary, merciless battles against a fresh fierce enemy in the most hazardous and thrilling battle ever seen in World War II. In other words the game is fast and fluid; you fight for a minute and then you die. You fight for another few minutes and then you die%u2026etc.
Call of Duty: World at War is a worthy to part of the Call of Duty saga.
The Sound
The sound was great most of the time, there were just that very few glitches that bothered me. Like when someone shoots off a “Banzai” it sound like they’re right next to you even though they’re across the map.
The Graphics
The graphics were not exceptionally good but they were the best yet of the collection.
The Gameplay
The game is very unique in the way that when you pick up a different gun the whole game changes. You could be doing really well and then you run out of ammo so you pick another gun and you start failing. Just like every other game, your teammates are not very good and you pretty much have to fight the whole war by yourself.
Overall
The one thing that stood out was the fact that there were no immature little kids screaming at you and being annoying. That is a deal breaker when I am trying decide what game to play.

In Resident Evil 5, you will discover that the daylight is just as fearful as the shadows of the night.
The people of Kijuju are experiencing some difficult times; people are transforming into mindless, enraged creatures of the dark. The city is going mad; eyeballs are oozing, tentacles are sprouting out of the body and the citizens of Kijuju are becoming weary for blood.
It is up to you to save Kijuju.
Are you strong enough to accept this challenge and discovering what is happening to Kijuju?
The Sound
The sound in the game adds tension when needed, especially when the nerve-jumping music plays as enemies approach. The characters voices for the most part pretty good; you will find some pretty bad voices but for the most part they’re good.
The Graphics
One of the most gorgeous games of century, when you play the game you can not help yourself to stop and marvel at the job well done. The way the lighting and the landscape work together is just outstanding.
The Gameplay
In most games like Halo or Gears of War shooting a gun is babies play, but in Resident Evil 5 it’s a little bit more challenging which adds a whole new style to the gameplay.
Overall
Most games depend on competitive online multiplayer; Resident Evil 5 has ingeniously come up with a rare replayable game. Very few games are this way, and it works because there is so much detail and so many extra bonuses that every time you replay the game it’s almost like a completely different game.
