Customer Review: Painful Read – Returned It
I found this book very difficult to read. It wasn’t the level of the technical information but sentences that are just horribly written. It felt more like a transcription of somebody’s poorly though out presentation. I ended up returning it and buying another XNA book (by Joseph Hall)

51kJFHFxIdL. SL160  n00b noob Newbie Funny logo Mens tee Shirt in 12 colors Small thru 6XLCompanies are always going on about the synergy between movies and video games, but all this really ever seems to mean is lots of dreadful movie tie-ins where all the money has been spent on celebrity voiceovers. Stranglehold is different though, in that it’s essentially a sequel to 1992’s classic movie Hard Boiled, made purely for video games. This time Inspector “Tequila” Yuen is unleashing his unorthodox policing methods on Russian crime bosses in both Hong Kong and Chicago. It stars the likeness of original lead Chow Yun Fat and has been developed with hands-on help from director John Woo – who it turns out does seem to know a thing or two about video games.

Of course video games have been ripping off John Woo for years, particularly his trademark slow motion shots of two-handed pistol action. As a result this initially seems dangerously similar to Max Payne et al., but the graphical power of the next generation consoles and PC ensures that this is a far more dynamic and interactive affair. Not only can you make use of a bullet time effect (call “Tequila time” here) to slow down time around you but almost all of the scenery can be used too, from sliding down banisters guns firing to scooting across the room on top of a waiter’s trolley. The damage done as you go is truly impressive, with tiles shattering off the walls, chandeliers impaling bad guys as they fall and electric wires and water mains unhinging themselves everywhere. Making a mess has never been so much fun.

Customer Review: Tiresome
If you have played the demo then you dont need to get the game. then demo gives you all the best things from the full game. Perhaps ive been playing games too long, but max pain on the PC was doing this years ago and with much more depth and fun. core concept is good and the mechanics work fine, (does feel like they just ripped off the max pain engine) but besides some nice settings its like they didnt have a clue what to do to make into a game, shoot 4 things, plant 4 bombs by pressing a, protect these people for 30 mins while endless waves of bad guys come, badly placed spawn points after death require you to trek though the same area again and again, very old fasioned and really really dull. shooting people in the balls is fun though I will grant you. for a while at least.
Customer Review: Arguably too short but, amazing fun while it lasts.
Stranglehold is an all action shoot ‘em up which is great fun while it lasts. A lot of complaints have been made that it’s too short. I agree to a certain extent but because the game play is virtually the same throughout I don’t think it could have been stretched much further. The action is some of the most exciting ever seen on a games console and the way the scenery is destroyed adds to the immersion. Usually the damage to scenery in other shooters is minimal. In Stranglehold the damage is remarkable. Almost everything can be shot. During a gunfight, tables are knocked over, bottles smashed, concrete form pillars is smashed off and in one level even fish tanks can be shot spilling the contents all over the floor. At the end of a gunfight when you get your breath back and look at the room you are in the level of destruction is amazing. Because the action is so fast and exciting its one of the few games you can let your mate have a go on and not get bored watching someone else play it. Forty quid is definitely a lot to ask for a game that is this short, this easy and has very little replay value. However, now the price is half that it’s definitely worth a purchase. Fans of big budget action films will love this.

Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS2)

October 22nd, 2008

In a nutshell:
The Xbox 360 gets its own version of EyeToy with this multi-use webcam and motion sensing controller that is a must-have piece of next gen hardware.

The lowdown:
Capturing at a resolution of 640×480 and at 30 frames per-second, the Live Vision Camera has far more practical uses than the EyeToy ever did, with the ability to use it for free live video chat and picture messaging. It’s extremely easy to use and even lets you customise your own gamertag picture. The camera will also work on a PC too. Installation is very very easy–simply plug it in and the Xbox 360 recognises it straightaway.

It comes with a free download of card game UNO and the Super Monkey Ball style Totemball. Other games that support the Live Vision Camera include Bankshot Billiards, Texas Hold’em, Hardwood Hearts, Hardwood Spades and Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Vegas which allows you to digitise your face into the game. The Live Vision Camera has every chance of becoming as essential to next gen gaming as it is to next gen online chat.

Most exciting moment:
Although it is only a card game, UNO instantly illustrates just how much the Vision camera can transform a game. Each player gets their own little video feed on-screen, so you can chat to and see whoever you’re playing with and communicate with them in real-time. Dressing up can also push up the fun factor somewhat. Just make sure it’s appropriate!

Since you ask:
Developer Strange Flavour, creators of Totemball are planning another two Xbox Live Vision games for the future. It’s not clear though whether they’ll be downloadable Xbox Live Arcade games or proper retail titles.

The bottom line:
This is EyeToy done right and already a must-have for Xbox Live.-HARRISON DENT

HAHA i saw that no one had put a 1 star rating on it yet so I’m going to!! woo, it’s actually a really good product buy it!! :P
Customer Review: Xbox Live Vision Review
A good idea with some great potential but for the time being that’s all it is. I think it’s great that the camera can be used as a normal webcam, being a USB, you can just plug it into your PC. The camera is reasonably clear, however you can take a higher advantages of the effects on the 360. After taking a photo, to set as your personal gamerpicture, or to send to a friend, you can add various effects, including the common settings like black and white, sepia, negative, as well as special lens effects that expand, inflate, or reflect the picture, as well as many more. When i purchased this item, it comes with a one month free gold membership on xbox live, an extra headset for online chatting (worth about ?14.99 at the time), and a code to download UNO full xbox live arcade game. Great if you have friends over with the headset, so you can all talk to different people, and UNO isn’t a bad way to boost your gamerscore. Similar to the Sony Eyetoy, on playstation 2, you can use it to control characters. However there is few games this is compatible with. TotemBall, (a free arcade game that requires the camera) is not the greatest of games, but, for the younger generation it can be fun. Basically you control a ball rolling around a level, by moving your arms up and down in fountains to control the speed and direction. Doesn’t sound great, because basically it isn’t, specially when you already have perfectly good games to play on. You can also have video conversations and calls with other xbox live members but they must have a gold membership to view and send their own (if they have the cam), or they can just watch, (with gold). Another great feature that the visioncam can be used for is ‘Gameface’ technology. Despite only being in one game, this shows great potential for personalising characters. The only game supporting this so far is Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas. I don’t own this game but I would say – aswell as many other people – that it’s possible one of the greatest shooters on xbox 360 so far. In multiplayer you create your own characeter, when the camera is connected, you set up to take a photo, line up your face in good lighting in the box shown on screen, then take a photo, repeat it again from the side. After quite a long wait, that, providing it works, is worth it, a photo appears on your soldier that doesn’t look identical, but looks quite good. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can arm your character with various headgear, like scars, balaclavas and goggles but you unlock an achievement worth 20 or 30 gamerpoints which is a highish benefit if you have a low score like me :) Despite a high asking price, with all the extras and potential included it is worth buying. However it’s also worth waiting for to hope the price lowers and more games include the gameface technology. Hope this review was helpful to anyone considering buying this item.

Customer Review: WHERES FREE ROAM GONE!
Im a big fan of NFS i loved carbon and most wanted BUT THIS! prostreet is horrible the cars handleings gone all lumpy and THERES NO FREE ROAM or POLICE PURSUITS has ea been taken over or something! But there are good things like The grafics and the fact that the new bmw m3 and nissan GTR are in it! BUT BUY NEED FOR SPEED CARBON OTHER THAN THIS if yourve played carbon and most wanted you will HATE prostreet

Customer Review: Bring back the old NFS
Arguably the second worst NFS game after Underground. EA Bring back the street racing, police chases and FREE ROME. I would normally test a car in single player random race to see if its worth buying- you cannot do this so i wasted about 400k on the Lambo only to find out that it is rubbish!

I only found this game good for the first hour or so then i got frustrated with waited for it to load/save! the actual driving experience is average but you should be able to use a 4 wheel drive in drifting as the evo x is AMAZING at drifting in grip mode.

Get you’re act together EA and don’t call the next game Pro-street 2 unless you can actually DRIVE on the street!
