Rock Band Drum SetThe drums add a new dimension to the game!
After careful consideration, I decided to buy this game piece meal since I already had the guitar from Guitar Hero. I picked up the drums from Amazon and they are very cool. It’s like playing the real thing to the songs.
If you have Rock Band, get the drums. They’re worth the extra cash.

The Rock Band Drum Kit allows players to unleash the power of rock-and-roll drumming ” featuring four durable drum pads, a kick pedal, drum stand, and authentic wooden sticks. Use the Rock Band Drum Kit to upgrade to a full band, play head-to-head or versus mode with your friends (online enabled with Xbox 360 software), or play through solo tour mode on your own.

G Pak 360 Console Organiser & Travel CaseVery good product
I was not expecting a “perfect” case for this price range, thus I’ve rated it 5 stars even though there are some (minor) flaws.

Firs of all, the case really does its job. I was able to fit the console, power brick, and 4 controllers (2 wired and 2 wireless) inside. That’s more than enough for me.

I was worried, since some people mentioned they were unable to fit the power brick inside. However there is space allocated to it in the main compartment, along with the console itself. There is also a padding item to separate them (to reduce risk of scratches).

Gears Of War xbox 360There’s nothing casual about it
I have to admit, when I first played this game I didn’t care for it. It seemed way too difficult for me. After getting killed three times in a row on the first level I gave up on it. It was Christmas time after all, and I was had other games to play plus my old favorite Oblivion that I keep going back to. (Yes, I must slip Oblivion into every review for an Xbox 360 game) But later, when I heard people talk about how much they enjoyed it and read reviews about it on Amazon I decided to give it another go. I read faqs about how to play better and my skills started to improve. I began to better grasp the concept of cover, when to stay behind it and when to sally forth and kick some alien(?) butt. I started to actually get perfect active reloads.(That flashing bar when you get a perfect reload is quite satisfying. It almost makes up for the fact that half the time when you finally get a chance to shoot something your temporary damage bonus is gone) I persisted through the choke points where I wasn’t entirely sure how to proceed.(In a fluid game like this strategy guides only help so much) Even though I died (and got chunked) enough times to fill up a national cemetary I finally beat the game andit was one of the most fulfilling moments of my video game playing days.

Burnout Paradise Xbox 360250 miles of realistic heart pumping fun in Paradise City
I’m not a big video game player. I don’t care for Halo type games or ogres running around. But, I was very excited to be able to try out Burnout Paradise as I’ve always been a fan of racing. Unlike several other racing games, Burnout Paradise has approximately 250 miles of open road set in beautiful Paradise City (Hollywood).

This newest burnout game did away with crash mode and replaced it with Showtime mode, which allows the car to continue to crash all the way across the map if you’d like. Each time you hit a car you get a boost and the crash gets more spectacular.

Logitech G25 Racing WheelI would like to know whether the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel
I would like to know whether the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel
Is compatible with the Sony Playstation 3 expect an answer thanks

Best wheel
This is the best wheel I’ve used. Its really nice. If your looking for a wheel you should really consisder this one. I use it for my PS3 and it works perfectly. The only downside is that it doesnt have a PS button so you will need your controller to exit the game or turn off your PS3. I would also suggest you dont buy it from Tigerdirect or Compusa. Its where I got mine and it was used. I have read many reviews saying the wheel in bad shape but I just bought it from them anyways. Overall this is the best wheel, just buy it from a trusted seller.
