Halo 3: ODST Firefight map screenshot blowout

One of the biggest updates coming in Halo 3: ODST is the addition of the Firefight mode. Firefight lets you team up with three other friends to take on round after round of enemies. It’s a nice divergence from the standard Halo 3 multiplayer fare, and makes ODST a very attractive package. I was able to spend about 90 minutes playing Firefight yesterday, and I’ve gotta say, I can see this being a new favorite. Firefight is to Halo 3: ODST what Horde is to Gears of War 2 - it allows you to team

In Praise of the 3-Hour Game (Wired News)

When The Maw was released at the end of January, critics raved. The game had everything: cute, Pixar-like graphics, charming lead characters and a kooky game mechanic — you control a bloblike sidekick that devours enemies, getting gradually bigger (and weirder) with each chew. What's not to like? One thing: the length. The Maw is a very short game; downloadable from the Xbox Live arcade, you can ...

3 Stars Not Perfect, But Enjoyable
This game, like the movie, honestly depends on what you prefer. We know the let downs. Some of the controls, fighting, etc. We know the strong points. The graphics, the Halle Barry voice that brings the new Catwoman alive in the game for you (although that’s arguable, considering that some might not like it.. But how can you not?), etc.

I enjoyed the movie. I knew its downfalls, but in my opinion (we’re all entitled to opinion folks, let’s not judge a movie by opinion, but movie elements, techniques, etc.) it was fun. Patience was a little boring, but then Catwoman came along to lighten up the screen. In the video game, she’s awesome to play with. Perhaps it’s due to the graphics bringing you in so much, capturing her ever sleek motion. I would have liked there to be more combat maneuvers. But again, like the movie, it’s just ‘fun’. I think some people look into waaaaay too much. She’s not overdoing her movements, that’s just simply who she is, and it works. It fits her, the character. Awesome video game. Won’t ruin the fun for ya, just go buy/rent it.

2 Stars Can’t sleep? Play this game.
I bought this game for my kids to play, and after they bored of it after 30 minutes, I decided I would give it a try. Well, save your money and go buy a grande Starbucks coffee, at least that way you can stay awake. The “action” is boring and the gameplay is very lame. Not recommeneded.

3 Stars ok for a movie based game
when i started the game catwoman i thought it would be horrible

but as i played the game it was really fun to play unlike all other movie base games you play as patience philips aka catwoman she vows revenge aganist all who played a role and her death.you must used your cat-like skills and prince of perisa like moves to uncover the truth of her untimely death.

1 Star Thank God for Blockbuster.
This game is totally not as good as it sounds I went to Blockbuster and considering the movie was one of my favorites I thought this game would be good well I got home and put it in to my XBOX and I discovered that I was the wrongest person on earth at that moment thank god I rented it but still I wasted 4.50 on a video game that should be removed from the shelf at every store that owns it I was in EB Games that day and asked the guy if they had Catwoman and he said yes but it was for PS2 the game console that I really want right now so I was really dissapointed that they didn’t have it thank god they didnt cause I would of bought and returned so thank god for Blockbuster this game is just terrible and I would be shocked if no store knew that. My grade over all (F-)

1 Star Are you kidding me?
How this game has managed to get even one good review is beyond me. Talk about repetitive and pointless. While the graphics are quite good, they certainly do NOT make up for this game’s shortcomings. Yet another disappointment in a long line of comic book characters turned video game heroes. If you enjoy jumping all over the place and kicking the same villians into dumpsters, you would probably enjoy this game. Otherwise, don’t bother. This game is pointless and not even worth the rental price.

Armed and Dangerous




Armed And Dangerous is for the shooter fan who likes to laugh. Add a little wit and humor to your mindless violence! You’ll laugh and be amazed when you see the surreal humor of the game – you’ll think you were watching (and directing) a sci-fi comedy

4 Stars Very Good
I think that this is one the funniest games ever made. Best of all its compatible with Xbox 360!

2 Stars Meh…
It does have some very homerous elements in the game.It did make me laugh out loud a few times. But other than that it is very boring.

1. You run through a set path shooting enemies

2. The cool weapons have limited ammo

3.It is over the top hard for a simple game

4. the graphics are terrible

If anyhting rent it to see the jokes then don’t waste you money

5 Stars HURAHH For The Shrub Patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got this game just today and BOY is it fun and Funny( Even my dad was laughing). I’m used to the British humor so its very funny. Weapons are great too, ahhh the LandShark Gun! You no what i think im going to go play it now!

5 Stars I am Armed and Dangerous
Armed and Dangerous is a great game. The story is okay, but the main point of buying this game is for the humor and destroying everything in sight. The weapons are crazy and destructive. For example, The Shark Gun is the scenes from Jaws into a gun. The big letdowns are that there is no multiplayer and you can only play as one character while you have a whole squad. This game is still really good. You should buy it.

4 Stars fun and hilarious!
This game is basiclly a spoof of Star Wars. You play as a scottish guy named Roman. You travel with three friends. One of them is a blind, short scientist. The weopons are hilarous. One gun shoots a shark in the ground which repeatdly eats enemies. There are some cool bombs to. If the games the right price you should snag it fast. I got mine at game crazy really cheap. So go out and get it.

3 Stars i love this show
this was a cool game. but i beat it in like 2 nights. i was hoping for a longer story line with more levels. but i did enjoy playing. i was kinda mad that they didn’t use toft as the earthbender but i guess the game came out before she was a character on the show. the plot was good but wish it was more like beating the firelord or zuko or something more like the show, since the big boss itsn’t even a character. overall i say buy it but only cause it is such a good price here on amazon.

3 Stars Not quite what I expected
Perhaps it is to early in the game, but I just thought that I would be able to choose who I get to be and play the game even though it is entitled avatar. All in all I think it is a good game. Might be a little to complicated. Definately for 10 and up. You have to earn you avatar power so don’t think you start off in superhero style you have a staff and you wack a lot of wooves to build up point to earn you powers for later battle. It is a good game if you a fan of the avatar cartoon and I think you will fill like you are part of the game. I would recommend this game.

1 Star Avatar XBox game
Unfortunately we did not realise when we purchased this game that it would not work on our TV’s in Australia. My 9 year old son was so disappointed when he tried to play it with no success.

5 Stars Would like to think it was great.
As the game sent was not compatible with my console, i was unable to view it and its contents. sorry.But media has it as very good

3 Stars Way to short.
This game was okay at best, it was way to easy for even my son and much too short.
