Customer Review: Works great for xbox live
I use this with my 360 and it works just fine. I can stream video,music,and download stuff from xbl with out any problems and setup is as simple as plugging it in and then pushing the blue button until the lcd screen says In.
Also on the 360 you can select what network you want to connect to if there is more than 1 available by going in to the setup menu and selecting edit network settings.

Customer Review: Best shooter on 360 - better than Gears of War
Just a quick review - I LOVE THIS GAME! Best shooter currently out on the 360. Better than Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Gears of War and Ghost Recon. I still play it and I’ve had it nearly a year now. Buy it buy it buy it.
Customer Review: Xbox Live
This game is a must for anyone who has Xbox Live. I started playing at christmas 07 and didnt stop playing it for a whole year. Without xbox live it is still a good game.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.
The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game’s real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want.
Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset.
Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know.
The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.

Customer Review: good good
this game is the first game i ever got for the 360 and even today it beats assassins creed and halo 3,because its endless. with this game you don’t have levels and boundarys telling you your going the wrong way,because every way is the right way.you go through the tutorial with simple enemies and understandable story line,you choose your class and when your finished you go where you want you kill,steal,hide from,whoever you want.if you dont feel like doing the main storyline,sod it become an assassin or a thief,or a gladiator.earn money to buy better weapons and armour and become solid and then do the main storyline. as for the battle system one button the block one to magic one to attack all you have to do is move and decide which way to kill them.various magic ability’s can be learned or bought,like your elements ice fire thunder and water,you can unlock doors lock pick or magic,telekinesis,breath under water summon monsters to help out against a tougher opponent. the graphics are very good capturing the environment as you roam around and the faces of different races if there expression towards you is angry or happy.swords axes bows and arrows are all detailed depending on the material,its just a shame about the blood.structures such as houses in town and farms are very good too. with a variety of everything to do its just the best game to come out for years(apart from when fable 2 comes out)for any console,so i recommend you buy this game and cherish it.
Customer Review: Prepare for your social life to end.
If you only get 5 games for Xbox 360 this has to be one of them, maybe even if you only get 1. There are massive pop-up graphical issues, but with a world so large with many different creatures and 100s of missions to do you will not be complaining. Powering up your Character is a lot of fun. Be careful when you start to choose the right creature type for you, because you can’t change that later and you’ll be playing as the same one for many hours. I would put on this game and then check my watch later and realise I’d just spent 4 hours collecting plants, mixing potions and doing a couple of side missions. Just finishing the main story line is to miss the point. Highly recommended to all and sundry.

Customer Review: Nice Box
This is a decent kit for hauling around your PSP. The box is very sturdy and has plenty of room. The car lighter adapter does come in handy for those of us who spend a good deal of the day in a vehicle. The screen protector is a bit cheesy and adds a bit of haze to the screen but serves it’s purpose of stopping screen scratches (which the PSP is very prone to). The only real gripe I have is that the backing of the case came loose right away, but this was easily fixed with a hot glue gun. Oh, also, the little three game case that it shows in the picture was not included, instead there were about 8 clear plastic covers for games which I think work better anyway. It also came with a couple extra thumb controller buttons which are not shown or mentioned and a USB cable, not shown.
Customer Review: Not for grown ups.
I dont know what I was thinking buying something as bulky as this product. I guess when I was looking at buying this I was set on protecting my PSP…which Ill give it that, the box is very durable and can handle a little rough handling BUT unless youre a kid whose already used to carrying a LUNCHBOX, Id look to something that doesnt resemble a cosmetics case. Also, the Headphones weren’t very impressive at all(might as well have been wax paper)and were a tad annoying because they’ll retract any time you move your head or the PSP. Its a swollen thumb down for the Pro Gamers Kit…sorry.
It’s never obvious what to make of delays in video games. Sometimes it’s simply an indication of a problem production that ends up looking out of date before it’s even released. Other times though it’s simply evidence of ruthless perfection: thankfully TimeShift seems to be the latter. At first glance it seems like any other first person shoot `em-up, with some technically impressive but artistically ordinary visuals. What makes it unique though is the gameplay, with the best use of time travel in a game since Prince of Persia.
The story of the game involves the unlikely named Aiden Krone go back in time and changing history to suit him - kind of like a more evil version of Back to the Future, Part II. However, the time travelling doesn’t end there as the special suit you’re strapped into to chase after him also allows you to stop, rewind or slow down time whenever you want. Since Krone has got his own version of the same kind of time suit many of the enemies can’t even be properly seen under normal conditions because they’re moving too fast, but there are more subtle uses for the rewind and stop powers. Slipping past guards or running through a burning building becomes child’s play, while stopping time, running up to an enemy to grab his gun and then nipping back to cover to shoot him with it is just one of the game’s unique pleasures. Even if Doctor Who wouldn’t approve.

Customer Review: One unique gameplay aspect wrapped around a derivative FPS
If you’ve played through “The Orange Box” and “Halo 3″ and are looking for more original FPS fodder, look away now. Almost all of the solo campaign play is reminiscent of HalfLife2 with dabs of the Halo trilogy added to mix it up a little. It’s as if a committee of businessmen asked “what’s gone down well lately then?” and set about steeling other developers ideas. And given how long this game has been in production, that probably did happen at some stage. So why am I still playing it then? Because, even though this game is a loveless void of facsimile with fairly dated game-play, YOU CAN BEND SPACE-TIME. After a while, you realize that the only weapon you would really need is a big spanner, because once you’ve paused time, run around a soldier and then happy-slapped him from behind, what’s the need to have elaborate high-tech weaponry? Ok, there are those semi-scary time-bending supersoldiers to deal with from time to time, but since they are expecting to win, pinning them with explosive crossbow bolts is amazingly satisfying. I laughed once when I picked up a tossed grenade, reversed time to prevent the thing going off and then deposited between one of these supersoldiers’ legs. He actually said “huh? impossible…” before going up his own posterior. Classic. So there you have it. If you are a Valve or Bungie zealot, stay well away. If, on the other hand, you can get over the obvious influences (ahem) of this title, and especially the “circa 2004 feel”, you might just have a good giggle with this one. Oh, I should mention that there are some clever puzzle solving aspects to this game that are impossible to complete unless you utilize your time-space bending powers, so it’s not all slow motion slaughter. Frankly though, I think this game would have worked much better as a third-person shooter ala “Gears of War”. Maybe next time, eh lads?
Customer Review: Very Average
This game looked cool when i bought it being able to control time and all that but when i played it i found it was a very bland generic shooter. the story was confusing and i couldn’t really see why i was bothering to travel to a different timeline to fix whatever went wrong which isn’t really explained very well. don’t even get me started on the vehicel sections which appear to have just been thrown in at the last minute. And playing through the levels i found to be a bit of a chore. Buy Halo 3 or gears of war instead. or kane and lynch and mass effect are out soon. i’ll be trading in timeshift for one of those titles

Limited Edition Platinum Game Boy Advance
This is a special limited-edition, platinum-colored Game Boy Advance console.
When you first pick up the Game Boy Advance system, you’ll be amazed at how little it weighs. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA’s wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout is comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.
Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA’s larger screen somewhat darker than they’re used to, but that’s because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won’t be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.
But you’ll also notice the graphics. Sporting what’s basically a redesigned SNES technology, you’ll see things on the GBA that you see on big consoles, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects–technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.
Customer Review: Incredible.
This console was awesome. Surely 5 stars. It ranks equivalence to the SNES in graphics, so you can really get something nice out of it. It also plays Gameboy/Color games so it’s kind of the “GameBoy Ultimate.” It plays everything, it has SNES+ graphics, and it has several features. Along with the Gameboy Player, the E-reader, and several others, the GB link cable makes a comeback. You can be playing Mario Bros. with 4 of your friends, or hook up for more stuff. Excellent value, recommended.
