Walk It Out This instant

I have only had this game for a couple of days. I can say that it is definately a workout thats for sure. It is fun and the music keeps you moving. The only complaint that I have is that it only gives you access to 15 songs to start out with and it seems like its going to take forever to unlock anymore of them. As others have said it is a little dificult to click on things while walking in step with the songs however I find that if I just point the wii remote and the tv and start clicking in the right area that I am able to get lots of them. Still figuring out the just of the game and hoping to build my island pretty quickly so that I can focus more on walking and less on clicking items. I have also seen some others complain about not being able to lift your feet of the balence board and have to say it really works best if you just lift your heals as they request.Get more detail about Walk It Out.

Personal Trainer: Math Best Quality

I got this for my 4th grader as a way for him to memorize the times tables because he is a DS nut and I hoped this game would be more enjoyable than flash cards. He has completely memorized his times tables from using this game without any other assistance. It is also good for practicing division as well as continually brushing up on addition and subtraction. I think having to write the answer with the stylus helps cement the information. As part of his daily 'chores' he does a lesson on this game each day, which probably takes around 10 minutes. He finds the music a little annoying so he turns down the volume but he likes the game and doesn't mind playing it. As math practice goes this is a pretty painless way to do it.Get more detail about Personal Trainer: Math.

I have played this game on the Gamecube and PS2,thought it was cool then,But then i got a Wii and bought this for it..I just love it,its much more fun.The controls can be tough at first,but you will get use to them.I just get more into it with the Wii remote.To kill someone you have to point at them,to cut you swing the remote,to turn a wheel you have to turn the remote..Much more fun then just sitting there and not having to move more then your thumbs..Its a winner from beggining to end..Get more detail about Resident Evil 4.

Final Fantasy XIII Buy Now

The first thing you'll notice about this game is it's amazing presentation; the graphics are incredible (at least on the PS3 version), the in-game movies are awesome, the menus are really stunning, the battle system is quick and intuitive, etc. I've been a big fan of this franchise since FFVII was released and have played all of the FF games since then. Overall, this game is by far the best when it comes to presentation, but that's to be expected on this generation of consoles. The worlds are massive and look great. I like the battle system in this game; it is a bit different from other FF games, but it's nothing you can't pick up pretty quickly. The weapons and upgrading system is quite complex and I'm pretty sure that after 80 hours of gameplay I've only uncovered about 30% of all the available upgrades.

On a macro-level, however, this game is lacking in the biggest area for me: the story. I'm sure you've read all about how linear this game is, and it's true. This is the most linear of any FF game I've played, and that is really a downer because I think a lot of people really love being able to explore the openness of these games whenever they want to in the story, and that isn't possible until you are pretty far into the game. I just wasn't drawn into the story at all. Other disappointments for me are the eidolon/summons, the lack of mini-games (there are some, just nowhere near as fun as previous FF games), lack of depth in attacks/magic.

All in all, this game is still a lot of fun. The amazing graphics and fun battle system make up for the lack of story and character depth, at least for one play-through. I enjoyed the 90 hours I put into the game, but I doubt I'll be playing it again. If you're a fan of FF games, I highly recommend this game. If you love RPG's, be warned that this is more of an "adventure" game, not an RPG in its truest sense. Still a fun game that will keep you entertained though.Get more detail about Final Fantasy XIII.

Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010 Order Now

This is by far the worst game that I have ever played! There is no way to play with more than one player, no way to play with more than one profile (in other words, my son usually plays his wii under his name and I play under my own where we maintain our current separate levels - NOT WITH THIS GAME!!! - there's just one PROFILE), and the camera "sensitivity" is far TOO sensitive. My son says that he would rather play with garbage than play this game again!!! :) And he LOVES games!!!
The Good:
There was a "progressive" storyline and there were fights with several animals (that were really effortless), there are ways that you can get higher scores by following the directions, and the bullet camera is a plus, but the game is overall NOT AT ALL WHAT I NOR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON EXPECTED!!! You can't play with more than one person!!! If my son wants to play, I must sit and watch him and then I can play. That's the way game night goes when playing this game. My son and I played it for less than 15 minutes and have barely played since. The gun is a fiasco as well. It adds NO FUN to the game at all - just makes it more difficult. I WISH someone had told me how HORRIBLE this game was before I bought it!!!!Get more detail about Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2010.

Very good collection of games overall.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Right now

My 8 year old son loves this game. With the complete saga you get quite a bit of gaming here for a very reasonable price. My favorite feature of the game is that a second player can jump in and play or leave at any time, even when the game is in progress. This is nice for a Dad who can't quite keep up with his son's video game habits.Get more detail about Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Cheapest Gold's Gym Dance Workout

The tutorials are wimpy, but I'm fine with that. I prefer to learn as I go anyway. I get annoyed by the long tutorials. So far, the game is hard enough to be a challenge, but it's keeping my attention. I am having a LOT of trouble getting it to notice all of my moves. But, that could be user error. I haven't figured that part out yet. It's a great workout, and I am really enjoying it.Get more detail about Gold's Gym Dance Workout.

Cheap Super Mario Galaxy 2

This is a very creative game. Each level feels like a brand new (Mario) game. Simply BEAUTIFUL. They took the best of every Mario game ever made since the '80s and improved it in Galaxy 2. I never played Galaxy 1, but LOVE how wonderful part 2 is. Highly recommended for the whole family. You can play it in a pseudo-2 player mode and you can play as Luigi. Best part of this game would be Yoshi. This game has to be game of the year easily. A wonderful family friendly game like this puts violent/obscene games like God of War 3 to shame. You do not need excessive mind numbing violence and nudity to make a game good. Imagination and creativity are a great foundation of this memorable game. Must own and not a rental in my humble opinion.Get more detail about Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Skate 3 Review

Skate 3 Top Quality

Others commented on the improvements over Skate and Skate 2. Yes everything is better. The skating/trick pulling off is much smoother and quicker in Skate 3. You'll be ridding rails in no time. The graphics are improved and more refined, although some early online reviews said it looks the same pretty much as Skate 2, I saw differences right away. More colorful and detailed world to skate in. Yes, the areas are huge and really much more interesting than previous Skate titles. Character customization is much improved, as is the level of detail everywhere. I suggest once you get the basic playstyle down through the tutorial, if you havn't played a Skate game before is to free skate and see some of the scenery. I spent hours just cruzin' around, pulling off tricks and such with other AI skaters and civilians. The skatepark I found was a blast, as is skating down some posh area streets downhill bypassing or jumping over/off the traffic. There are more items in the world to manipulate now, like knocking down a row of trash cans and plowing through the crowd (who will attack you if provoked too much or just taser you). All around this is a big major improvement over Skate 2. Multi-player, sorry can't comment on that as the EA skate server was down at the moment, but what's implemented in the multi-player aspects of Skate 3 look to be a complete blast. And the editor, havn't had time to play with it yet either, but it looks very nice..and people can share what they've constructed/filmed. As someone else mentioned, if you like Skate series, or skate boarding games, or just fun sports type games then Skate 3 delivers. I have an old friend who has been working for Thrasher magazine for like 15+ years so it's nice to see so much Thrasher (among other companies) related material/support of this game. So Skate & Thrash!

Great game! I know I'm missing some information here like info on the movie editor, track editor, game editor etc. I just recieved this game on the 12th and there is so much I've not toyed with yet as I've been just having a blast freestylin' and enjoying what little of the world I've seen, and I've seen alot so far. The "Hall of Meat" is a roar and the bone crunching/body bashing is awesome to have turned on. Also as your skater eats it, you get bruised up and your clothes get all dirty & trashed up.

The intro movie is real life filmed, and is absolutley hilarious! Rock on...

Skate 3

I have really been enjoying my time with Skate 3. The game improves upon everything I loved from the original Skate and Skate 2. I spent an absolute disgusting amount of hours playing Skate 2 and received all 1500 gamerscore points. To say that I am a veteran of the Skate series may be an understatement. I had a great time in San Vanelona, but amazingly I have been enjoying the new Port Carverton even more. The locales are much more skate friendly. Each of the districts (University, Downtown, and Industrial) offer unique places to skate and have a great time.

Also I love the new online options. The ability to create a team with Xbox Live friends and complete challenges works very well. For fans of freeskate it is back and it is awesome. Having troble completing a career challenge? Jump online and get help completing the challenge with members of skate's dedicated community.

Skate 3 also features an improved soundtrack, skate park editor, and all sorts of great customization to create your ultimate Skate team online or offline. As stated on the official website skate.Create and Share is back and better than ever:

"skate.Create and Share - Returning favorites skate.Reel and skate.Graphics are back. The all-new Skate.Park is an open canvas for players to create their dream plaza or mega-ramp park. Once created, they can share their masterpieces with the world by uploading them directly from their console. "

If you liked the original Skate or Skate 2 you will love Skate 3. Black Box has loaded the title to the brim with amazing content. The game is now more accessible than ever with three difficulty options (Easy, Normal, and Hardcore), although the game may still be a bit difficult even on the Easy setting for newcomers. Thankfully you can practice the basics again and again with the assistance of Coach Frank.

For those new to the series I would recommend that you download the demo from PSN or Xbox Live prior to purchase. You will need to get used to and practice the flick-it controls. It shouldn't take too long before you can start busting some mad tricks.

Oh and did I mention the awesomeness of the Super-Ultra Mega Park?

See you on the streets of Port Carverton!

I just got my copy of Skate 3 today and had to play it right away. So I have now been playing it all day and I can safely say that this is the best Skate game out there. It surpasses Skate 1 & 2 by so much.

There are endless new and improver features available in the 3rd Skate. The skate park builders are fantastic, the new trick are to die for, the Hall of meat is the best there is and the graphics and the whole new maps are Amazing.

Shop For Skate 3

Well this is a great game if you want more Skate and improves over Skate 2 in the following ways:

-Skatepark Creator that lets you build stuff anywhere (seriously, you can build stuff in the middle of the street)
-More online features
-Better controls walking
-Slightly improved graphics (less drops in frame rate too)
-New easy and hard mode
-Great new map
-Good soundtrack
-New missions (but they are repetitive of the last two games)
-Continual updates

Now for the ugly bad:

-EA charges $10 for the "Skate Share Pack" that is included free with the game. The problem here is that if you buy a used copy of this game there is a good chance that this code has already been activated and you will need to spend $10 to be able to upload and download custom skate parks, photos, and replays. This is of course a continuation of the video games industries attempt to profit/stop the 2nd hand market for games as they do not make any money off those. Many people buy games with the knowledge that they can sell the game later if they don't like or they get bored with it and this restriction is an attempt to prevent you from being able to sell what is yours and what you paid for. Even PC games with outrageous DRM allow a limited number of installs, so a one time use activation code is ridiculous.
-EA is continually releasing DLC, which is a good thing for some as it keeps the game fresh, but in all honesty most of the DLC content is overpriced and should be priced lower or somethings should be give out for free.
-Missions are not as fun as Skate 2 (The Danny Way missions from Skate 2 were a blast, but Skate 3 is lacking unique missions that are more than just a contest or a photo shoot)

If you care about your rights of being able to sell what you own and hate DRM (or in this case an attempt to prevent people from selling and buying used copies), then you should boycott this game. That is probably too extreme for most people as this is a fun game besides the bad parts, but if you let EA take your rights now, then it will only be a matter of time before all games have limited number of users and other ridiculous restrictions.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Buying Skate 3

This is the third game in the skate series so there is a lot of background info from the other two games that would help make the game make more sense. So I would recommend that you at least play the second one first which is a great game. This game has many improvements from the first and second one including brighter more vibrant colors and more realistic game play. Although the bails have gotten a lot less realistic so if you play for the laughter of watching your skater wreck himself, play the second skate. Otherwise this game is excellent.

Cheapest Skate 3

Ok, first off this game does improve a LOT on SKATE 2 in some areas, but IMO its overly glitchy especially online, and lacks a lot in playable terrain compared to SKATE 2, but I digress-


The Good-

More refined

Better character control off and on board

You can Deck Check/Punch people

Its more fun in a lot of ways than 2, less frustrating except for a few spots

You can customize decks, shirts and other gear to suit your taste or logo preference



The Bad-

The character editor for custom gear of your own taste is often limited by where it allows you to place things, IE you cant put a logo on the back of a hat or multiple logos on stuff

There is NO way to actually save a game manually, its an auto save which is normally fine except this one only saves when you unlock a set achievement. So if you bust out a gajillion point trick and then later turn off your console because you are done playing its gone, and wont reflect in your stats unless you do some cool stuff then do an event and beat it thus causing the game to save. Thats ok at first, but once everything is beat you can forget about it saving what you did(which brings me to my other point)

There isnt that much to actually do in this game, like way less than 2. I only did the actual contests etc casually as I mostly free skate and I beat this game in a month

Not a lot of playable terrain, its not one big city is three small areas that are in no way connected and you must 'beam' yourself between these areas. The playable map is like 1/2 or less of the map w/ all kinds of dead space in between they should have filled w/ terrain to skate

If the game was 20 or 30 bucks, it would be worth it but not at current price its a waste of money, might as well have been an expansion for as short as it is

All the cool codes and stuff you can get for parks, gear etc;, are online only which means you must have XBox live to get the content

All the online stuff is horribly glitchy, doesnt work more than it does and is a general a royal cluster flop on EAs side, Codes dont work as they should, stuff wont download etc Graphics you make dissappear or wont load etc etc etc

EAs total lack of concern for the players who paid way to much for an under featured game w/ serious technical issues and glitchs galore none of which EA is really rushing to fix


My opinion is if you like the SKATE series, buy it, but WAIT until it hits the 20 Dollar shelf at your local Big Chain store and hope its issues have been fixed online wise but dont expect too muchGet more detail about Skate 3.

Save Skate 3

This plays just like Skate 2, it even takes joking nods at it's predecessors flaws like when the annoying camera man from the previous two games hands the camera to a new guy and says, "don't talk a lot, they hate it when you talk." They've also replaced the infuriating s-k-a-t-e (horse clone) game with a much more respectable who-can-get-the-highest-score game. The new editor is fabulous, but I couldn't find any way to invite friends to my skate park. What's the point of being able to design a park if you can't ride around in it with friends? The redesigned multiplayer is nice, but it's not really different from the previous skate 2 multiplayer accept the points are linked. You can't ride around in free-mode with friends, you have to hope from location to location just like before. It would be nice to see a giant MMO-like setting. The only time the game comes close is actually in single player. When you add friends, their avatar will pop into your single player game randomly as a computer AI.

Here's where EA ruins the show. A lot of people are complaining about this new money-making strategy that EA is doing where if you want to use the online features you have to buy a $10 activation add-on. The people who buy the game brand new get their very own copy, but that means people who buy the game used have to shell out extra money to play online. That's just something to know if you're buying this game used.

One more thing. Shortly after I got Skate 3, and I got to about 1.5 million boards, my PS3 broke and I bought a new one. I tried to transfer my save file to the new PS3 but EA doesn't feel that I am capable of doing that so they locked it down. Even copying over the save file from a backup didn't work which is disturbing. I loaded up skate 3 and the game went black and wouldn't load anything (on my new PS3). I know it has some strict online features, but couldn't they just link the save file with the online id as I sign in? That would be a lot more responsible than ruining hours and hours of work.

In short: This game is fantastic, it fixes most of the flaws, but it doesn't really improve on much. The editor is nice, but lonely, and whatever you do don't let your PS3 break. _Get more detail about Skate 3.

Low Price Skate 3

The skate series has done nothing but improve. From Skate to Skate 2 you could get off your board and move objects. Now with Skate 3 you are able to build parks with an editor, do more tricks including dark-slides and more as well as play with both an online and in game team.

Along with this, they have really improved the skate school portion -- and as an added bonus you get to hear the guy who plays "My Name is Earl" say manuals like "man-u-elles" lol.

Great replay value as always -- probably will never sell it back until maybe skate 4.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Skate 3 Right now

I really enjoy playing this game. Its a fun game to play with a bunch of your friends on xbox live. The only thing I didnt like about this game is having to teleport to different districts in the city. I enjoy being able to ride through the whole city like in skate and skate 2, but overall its a great game to buy if you like skateboarding games.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Lowest Price Skate 3

Skate 3 includes an amazing park editor, great new video tools, and the challenges are more fun than the last game. Overall, I think EA did a good job with this game.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Skate 3 Decide Now

A lot has been said about the improvements of Skate 3, so I thought I would bring out the few items that really matter to me.

Pros -
* They got rid of the security guards. The game setting is a city that embraces skateboarding, so it isn't necessary.
* Improved load times on tasks where repeated reloading is required - i.e. bailing before completing the 4 required tricks only requires hitting A once to get started again in less than a second.

Cons -
* The local multi-player games have disappeared. My two young sons are finally at an age where they like playing. The local multi-player "Own the Spot" challenges on Skate 2 were our favorite as it gives a time limit to everyone's turn... This doesn't appear to be present now.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Mmm, I had a bad feeling about this one. Too soon for a third installment, EA and Black Box dove into this with no regard. I've played the first two and had a great time, but now it's getting a tad Tony Hawk. The new tricks, such as Dark catch/slides and underflips bring some freshness, but not much. I'd like to see more flatland tricks such as Caspers and Truckstands, but that's just me. Perhaps they failed to get permission from the Mutt himself to reproduce his magic. The Hall of Meat has gone redonk-ulous with the high flying acrobatics (anyone remember doing 360 McTwists over helicopters ala THUG?). Ay-yi-yi. Some great terrain design, but on a whole, it doesn't connect as one big city to skate in unlike San Van. You basically teleport from place to place, which can be great when you don't want to four-wheel it all the way to a challenge, but I must honestly say, there's nothing like being able to long lines from top of the mountain and ending up downtown.

This whole teaming up and throwing down thing seems a tad contrived as skateboarding at it's purest is a single participatory activity (Coach Frank, the virtual skate coach hilariously voiced by Jason Lee actually addresses this in an onscreen tip during the load screen). Teams, product, magazines, while good is not the heart of skating. On the other hand, I did like the Hardcore mode which is really close to real skating. Nice animations on the bails and semi-bails/recovery. Even the drop board-push-from-standing is a nice touch. I also like that grinds aren't so magnetic and you really have to line yourself up to ledges. Tricking in and out of grinds is almost impossible, but totally rewarding when you pull off them off and those nerve-wracking combos.

If you're a real big xbox live community geek, then the online stuff is right up your alley. Where else can you make a pseudo name for yourself by racking up online points to be a faux board company mogul? You can do most challenges online with your self made "team" or join other skaters online to form a team that way, which I suppose is better than holing yourself up in your bedroom, being anti-social and scarfing twinkies and pepsi max.

Most will find this a fun romp, which it can be, but for me personally, is no substitute for the real thing. Now go skate!Get more detail about Skate 3.

Skate 3 Best Quality

Though this game may have a few minor flaws, it is easily the best in EA's skate series.

Improved walking mechanics, a few new tricks thrown in, and a skate.Park creater are just a few of the new things added to this installment of the game.

Sell boards, earn things, progress through the game having fun. That's what it's all about, in my personal opinion.

As someone who skated for four years, this game is by far the closest thing to the real deal. Tricks look amazing, set-up is basically the exact thing as in real life on hardcore mode, and I'm loving every minute of it.

This is the skate game everyone has been looking and waiting for. Sure Tony Hawk's series will forever be remembered as the beginning of something great, but EA's skate 3 tops off the genre with aplomb.

Is this new game worth your money? I was skeptic, but it was definitely worth it. What a smooth execution.

So why not go ahead and buy it now? You're missing out on something to be experienced!Get more detail about Skate 3.

Since Skate 1 originally launched, I've been a huge fan of this series. The games in this series all make you feel like a badass and make you do crazy stuff, while still being somewhat realistic. What makes this game stand out from the previous two is that it has perfected the mechanics of the games. Besides a couple of bugs I've noticed, they've fixed the on foot moving, they've fixed how long it used to take after you bailed, they've fixed all the little annoyances in the series. I will admit, I was skeptical of how this game would do, as it didn't seem like it had anything going for it. Skate was this all new revolutionary game, and Skate 2 took that and made it bigger and allowed you to walk. Where do you go from there? You get the little things right. Of course some new locales were put in, but its just great to see how all my gripes that I used to whine about Skate 1 and 2 are gone. No more, why does my character walk so awkwardly, why does it take so long for this guy to stand up, why can't I do Darkslides/Underflips, why can't I do Hall Of Meat whenever I want instead of just when an amazing bail occurs. Its a game that. for me, got everything right this time, and it was worth the $60.Get more detail about Skate 3.

Skate 3

I have really been enjoying my time with Skate 3. The game improves upon everything I loved from the original Skate and Skate 2. I spent an absolute disgusting amount of hours playing Skate 2 and received all 1500 gamerscore points. To say that I am a veteran of the Skate series may be an understatement. I had a great time in San Vanelona, but amazingly I have been enjoying the new Port Carverton even more. The locales are much more skate friendly. Each of the districts (University, Downtown, and Industrial) offer unique places to skate and have a great time.

Also I love the new online options. The ability to create a team with Xbox Live friends and complete challenges works very well. For fans of freeskate it is back and it is awesome. Having troble completing a career challenge? Jump online and get help completing the challenge with members of skate's dedicated community.

Skate 3 also features an improved soundtrack, skate park editor, and all sorts of great customization to create your ultimate Skate team online or offline. As stated on the official website skate.Create and Share is back and better than ever:

"skate.Create and Share - Returning favorites skate.Reel and skate.Graphics are back. The all-new Skate.Park is an open canvas for players to create their dream plaza or mega-ramp park. Once created, they can share their masterpieces with the world by uploading them directly from their console. "

If you liked the original Skate or Skate 2 you will love Skate 3. Black Box has loaded the title to the brim with amazing content. The game is now more accessible than ever with three difficulty options (Easy, Normal, and Hardcore), although the game may still be a bit difficult even on the Easy setting for newcomers. Thankfully you can practice the basics again and again with the assistance of Coach Frank.

For those new to the series I would recommend that you download the demo from PSN or Xbox Live prior to purchase. You will need to get used to and practice the flick-it controls. It shouldn't take too long before you can start busting some mad tricks.

Oh and did I mention the awesomeness of the Super-Ultra Mega Park?

See you on the streets of Port Carverton!

Well this is a great game if you want more Skate and improves over Skate 2 in the following ways:

-Skatepark Creator that lets you build stuff anywhere (seriously, you can build stuff in the middle of the street)
-More online features
-Better controls walking
-Slightly improved graphics (less drops in frame rate too)
-New easy and hard mode
-Great new map
-Good soundtrack
-New missions (but they are repetitive of the last two games)
-Continual updates

Now for the ugly bad:

-EA charges $10 for the "Skate Share Pack" that is included free with the game. The problem here is that if you buy a used copy of this game there is a good chance that this code has already been activated and you will need to spend $10 to be able to upload and download custom skate parks, photos, and replays. This is of course a continuation of the video games industries attempt to profit/stop the 2nd hand market for games as they do not make any money off those. Many people buy games with the knowledge that they can sell the game later if they don't like or they get bored with it and this restriction is an attempt to prevent you from being able to sell what is yours and what you paid for. Even PC games with outrageous DRM allow a limited number of installs, so a one time use activation code is ridiculous.
-EA is continually releasing DLC, which is a good thing for some as it keeps the game fresh, but in all honesty most of the DLC content is overpriced and should be priced lower or somethings should be give out for free.
-Missions are not as fun as Skate 2 (The Danny Way missions from Skate 2 were a blast, but Skate 3 is lacking unique missions that are more than just a contest or a photo shoot)

If you care about your rights of being able to sell what you own and hate DRM (or in this case an attempt to prevent people from selling and buying used copies), then you should boycott this game. That is probably too extreme for most people as this is a fun game besides the bad parts, but if you let EA take your rights now, then it will only be a matter of time before all games have limited number of users and other ridiculous restrictions.Get more detail about Skate 3.
