Advantages: Fun to play, Darth Vader, interesting story, lightsabers and force powers in general.
Disadvantages: No multiplayer, not long enough, fewer force powers than expected.

...Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a game which was designed to fit in between the 3rd and 4th films in the Star Wars saga. The story is told from Darth Vader's secret and powerful apprentice "Galen Starkiller". The story is about Starkiller's quest to eliminate all of the Jedi's that remain in the galaxy, to ensure the Empire's total dominance. The gameplay is very good, with a good range of force powers and moves to learn, as well as several outfits and lightsaber colours to unlock on the way by finding various "Holocron's" that are scattered throughout the game. The player has huge control over the force powers, some including Force Grip, Force Lightning and Saber Throw. There are many different combinations for the player to find and play around with, with different rewards based on the level. There is also quite a bit... Read review

Advantages: All three Special Edition films are here, nice sound, crisp picture
Disadvantages: None

...At last! Where have you been?-- C-3PO to R2-D2, A New Hope Part One: A Fan's Dream Comes True at Last. On Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2004, Lucasfilm Ltd. and 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment released -- some might say unleashed -- the DVD edition of one of the most anticipated movie collections since the invention of this increasingly popular format: The Star Wars Trilogy And despite some opposition from fans who (a) wanted the DVD set to include both the 1977-83 versions and the 1997 Special Editions and (b) are unhappy with further alterations made to the "Classic" trilogy especially for the 2004 DVD editions, The Star Wars Trilogy four-disc set has been selling briskly. (It's No. 1 in DVD sales at Amazon.com.) I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977, so not only have I seen the existing five Episodes of George Lucas' space fantasy... Read review

Advantages: Great fun game great graffics
Disadvantages: No online play

...BUILD AND BATTLE THROUGH THE ORIGINAL TRILODGY when i first bought lego star wars 2 i wasnt expecting much but when you here that star wars theme and appear in episode 4 you just get sucked into this game with its fun original levels its light hearted humour and all the unlockables this is a game that makes it hard to put down your xbox 360 controller.

Advantages: great graphics for xbox game, simple squad commands, intense action sequences, great presentation
Disadvantages: some minor glitches, multiplayer is bland, ammo is scarce, campaign is short

...Ok I'm going to start off saying I live in the US. Two days ago I decided to buy a xbox game because they're pretty cheap now, I had a discount coupon at Gamestop, and because there are no 360 games I want right now. I'm a huge Star Wars fan so I decided to choose between Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Star Wars Republic Commando. After reading a couple reviews online I decided to get Republic Commando so I went to a local Gamestop but they didn't have it so I settled with Battlefront 2. I played an hour of Battlefront 2 and I began regretting buying the game. Battlefront 2 just seemed so bland to me. I decided to go to another Gamestop and exchange Battlefront 2 for Republic Commando. This is one of the best decision of my life. Republic Commando is a FPS that pits you as an elite clone trooper in the Clone Wars. Other... Read review

Advantages: Countless hours of variable online gameplay - Can't get board
Disadvantages: Too many people who quit online!!!

...This is in my opinion, along with many others, the best game in the Xbox 360. It's........... Gears of War Background of Gears of War If anyone here is a gamer then you have probably heard of Gears of War, if you haven't then I hope you enjoy what I'm going to say. Gears of War was released on the 17th of November 2006 in the UK but as usual it was released 10 days earlier in the US, typical. Prior to its release it was the most hotly anticipated game on the Xbox 360 as most of the other games before it hadn't really succeeded. It sold over 3 million copies in its first 10 weeks, and that figure as now reached 4.5 million total copies as of January 2008. I was surprised to one day see on Xbox.com that Halo 3 had overtaken Gears of War and has now sold over 8 million copies, this is something I just do not get... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable price
Disadvantages: freezes, glitches, crashes, noisey, overheats, poor choice of games

...I am a keen gamer, and wanting to keep up with technology- decided to get an HD TV, and a new generation console. The choices before me were: Nintendo wii, Xbox 360 and (although not out at the time) a ps3. I thought the wii was a great gimmick- having the motion style controllers- but felt as I have back and shoulder trouble- it would just end up causing me pain- and rather than sitting down to relax- and play a good game- I'd be forced to move about- when I just want to relax. The ps3 wasn't out yet, and was way too over-priced for my budget. So I went with the Xbox 360- especially as it was already more established than the others, having been out for quite a long time- about a year when I bought it. We were told that you don't have to have an HD TV, and when we bought the Xbox 360 - we hadn't yet had the HD TV delivered. We... Read review

Advantages: playable, robust, collectable
Disadvantages: can be expensive, too many to collect

...Star wars unleashed battle figures are very collectable and they come in a variety of packs and prices. For instance there is the Star Wars: Unleashed Battlepack - Episode IV Rebel Blockade Troopers, which onsists of four blockade troupers or Star Wars: Unleashed Battlepack - Episode IV Commanders, which consists of Princess Leia, Lord Darth Vader, Rebel Commander and Grand Moff Tarkin. Or maybe you would like Star Wars Unleashed Battle Pack ''Battle of Hoth'' Rebel Alliance Troopers or Star Wars Unleashed Battle Pack ''Battle of Hoth'' Imperial Snowtroopers. Then there is Star Wars Unleashed Order 66 Shock Trooper Battalion and Star Wars Unleashed Order 66 A New Empire. You see what I mean? I am not much of a Star Wars fan but my son is and he collects the figures and seems to know which ones he wants to collect. I am sure... Read review

Advantages: Gorgeous Visuals, Fresh Tactics, Co-op
Disadvantages: Gory, Short Campaign, a few stutters

...With the original X-Box clinging to life early-on solely thanks to the success of Halo, it was surprising to see the 360 lacking a decent shooter for the first year of its release. Just before the competition joins the fray, however, Epic Games caters to that large fanbase. Gears of War brings a few fresh tactics into the mix, coats them with gorgeous graphics and great cinematography, but it basically gives the shooter demographic what it primarily asks for: A chance to slaughter aliens with chainsaws and satellite beams. ***The Story*** Every bit about Gears of War feels like a good sci-fi war movie and before delving into the excellent presentation, let's take a look at the script. Extra-terrestrials attacked Earth 14 years ago and a never-ending war rages on ever since, as one side tries to wipe the other out from existence... Read review

Advantages: Great offline and online content, awesome graphics.
Disadvantages: Some online.

...360 Elite, let's just say this is the only game I'm still playing out of the 3 :) I bought it for £30 at the time, but you can pick it up for around £15 now days. -------------------------Basic story in Gears of War----------------------------- Gears of War is the traditional "Good guys vs Bad guys". The story starts when an alien race named the "Locust Horde", attacks Earth in countless numbers and the planet is forced to destory it's own cities, they keep coming and the human population is falling fast. Is there any hope? Of course! An inmate named Marcus Fenix , once left to die, is now charged with keeping humanity alive... -------------------------Features of Gears of War-------------------------------- Let's have a look at what Gears of War offers....

Advantages: Great story, Great voice-acting, Well-written characters
Disadvantages: Bland graphics, first few hours are rather dull, bugs

..., but there is not a lot of detail otherwise. Glitches are a bit of a problem, like characters not following you, corrupted save files and so on. The sound though, is pretty good. Great voice acting really helps it along (althoigh it's a bit tempting to skip the conversations and just read the text) , so does the lightsaber and blaster noises. In-game music is quite relaxing, and fits the part. Overall, Star Wars: KOTOR is a fantastic, subtle, deep and involving game that really gets you thinking. As I said before, it doesn't matter whether you are a Star Wars or RPG fan or not, It's an essential part of any Xbox collection, if only to get the old grey matter moving. Buy it!
