Why I'm a 360 Fanboy

Ok,I admit it, I'm a 360 guy to the bone.
I got mine as soon as I could, and I am happy with it, my comparison is not fro experience but I have friends who know, so I am not totally out there.
For on, I like the exclusives that Microsoft has, all the Good star wars games are there, Halo is Theirs, Bioshock is cool. and more that I cannot remember.
The system has an Ergonomic controller, no reaching for the sticks, and the trigger feels more natural than the shoulder buttons on the PS3.
I like Live better than a nonfunctional Home.
Headsets and Voice chat are standard on the 360.
And overall, the 360 is cheaper, nobody is FORCING me to play their Hi-def mode of choice on the 360, unlike the $600 ps3.

Full Auto

Ok, so it came out 3 years ago, I get 'em when I get 'em.
Anyway, I think the idea of armed cars is not new,(Twisted Metal, anyone?)
But the idea of an actual Race with these vehicles is something not really used before, and Certainly not on a Next-Gen system.
Unfortunately, the game is not as good as the idea suggests, the cars are fun but most of them are really the same, stat-wise, and armament-wise.
The cars have about three-four options for weapons, and the secondaries are packaged with them, not cool, and there is no upgrading, Unless you can call unlocking the same stuff for three different cars upgrading. The cars also feel a little Floaty, and in a brawling race, I don't need floaty.
Now that is not to say it isn't fun to blast the backside off of your opponent's car when he passes you, or that the racing is crappy, but it is nowhere near as tightly controllable as the cars in, say Burnout. The ability to aim your guns is nice, especially if you have an opponent ahead of you, but you don't want to turn into traffic to get him.The cars, While not real, are still interesting to look at and some have WICKED paintjobs.
The game is fun and worth the $20 it costs anymore, just not worth the $60 it used to cost.

Star Trek: Legacy

This Game is FREAKING AWESOME!!!
I am a Star Trek fan, and now I have a worthwhile game based on such.
I am really happy with the way piloting works, though the way some ships are so slow is a little annoying.
The gameplay is good, though the learning curve is inhibitive if you go to far before you learn the basics.
For example, I was trying to repair one item and defend another,(easy if you are good at team management), without learning how to give separate commands to different ships.
I failed several times before learning that the different ships can be grouped.
The Game spans all the Eras in the Star Trek universe, from the Very first Enterprise(Jonathan Archer's) to the Sovereign era(never heard of it, but it is the latest in the game).
I am not sure exactly at this point if Voyager and DS9 are in the story, but the ships are in MP so I hold out hope.
The game features the ACTUAL ACTORS from the series, Kate Mulgrew,William Shatner,Scott Bakula,Patrick Stewart, Whoever the heck played Sisko.
I was slightly disappointed with certain control elements.
For example, speed is controlled, by tapping B(Full Impulse, and All Stop alternate) more delicate adjustments are made in a menu that pops up if you hold B, this is impossible to do smoothly, especially if you are in a fight.(The menu is navigated with the same stick controlling your Ship)
Also, the Right Bumper locks on an enemy, but the lock breaks if you move the Camera stick(not hard, especially if you just got out of a free roaming area)

Not significant issues but still...
As for the Ships, I find it great that the ships from the different shows/movies are present(the Excelsior, and it's refit), along with some variants I've never seen(such as the Akula class).
I was a little wary of the menus used to navigate long range, but they work better than I could hope, coordinating all of your armada in one stroke.

All in All, I am happy to finally have my Trekkie dreams realized,
Warp Speed Mister Sulu!!!

Some tips: I recommend using a blend of ships, one Battleship class, one Destroyer, your current era vessel(Enterprise, Voyager ETC.), and one of matching class to the current era vessel.

Also, keep the manual on hand, it can save you, if a complex action is not going right, look it up, there is no shame in learning.

Halo3

Halo 3 has a Huge customization aspect that launches it ahead of most other games in it's field, but it falls short in it's overall playability, For example, large rooms ALWAYS lag, and the amount of "N00B Tricks" is pathetic, Shotguns can be fired, then immediately Puched with, to Guarantee an instant kill, or the oft used N00b Combo, involving a Plasma Pistol and a Battle Rifle, Impossible to fight, and not fair to anybody.
Forge is Awesome, though an improvement that would be nice is the ability to selectively disable Each person's Editor mode, so people I like can help and fools can't come in and delete my hard work.
recent improvements have made Forge even better, one is Immovable objects, Finally an object that cannot be Hammered out of the way, If I say no go, no go.
And Man Cannons, I can now make giant cannons that shoot people around the map.
I am not into the overall game, because for example If two people Punch each other the game randomly decides who get hit, rather than allowing both to count.
Or the way I can be firing a Hail of bullets at someone, and then die when they punch me, not cool Bungie.
Or the latest removal of Mauler Shotguns from maps, this game is fine, I play it sometimes, but I never really liked the amount of work it takes to kill a guy, I much prefer a tactical, quick kill, more work game.
As for the Hugely loved Videos, I never thought those were that good, I had to do too much work to find anything I wanted, all for a five second shot of a funny landing, I would prefer a kill cam with a save function or something similar.
Overall a good Game but not my favorite any day.

70/100

Cod4: How I see it

ok, First of all, a lot of my opinion is the evolution of what I hear, so it may not be all original.

In the area of maps, i think Cod4 is better than most, because every map is loaded with Camouflage, Cover, useful spots and cool scenery.The "glitches" can be annoying but they do not really allow much to be done, as most are not hidden, just in an area that most don't look.
So for example, I can hide in a balcony, I am not impossible to hit, I will show up on the Killcam of the first Person I snipe, so it is only a one kill deal.
Some people claim that the Camouflage is to easy to hide in, you can be right in front of someone and never see them.I say that this mean you have to be careful, If you go crazy and sprint around corners, You will get shot, if you check areas, communicate with your friends, and are smart, it won't be bad.
My main issue with Cod4 is a certain tendency of lag to come in the most horrible fashion, now lag always sucks, but most of the time, it is just the fact that people don't die right or some slowdown, In Cod4 it tends to manifest as invisible players, Snipe shots that hit when they should miss, and miss when they should hit.
Sometimes the party system will not allow someone to join an empty match, but it is worth it to me.
With over 20 weapons, it is not a lack of guns, but the fact that the majority are almost alike, most fire Rapid sprays of ammo, some are single shot and some have burst, but the are really all guns.Not to say that an M16 performs ANYTHING like an AK-74u, but they don't have the cool light effects that some games include.
A minor flaw is the ability of certain Perks(character traits that affect gameplay, You get three, and they are interchangeable) to allow"N00B combos", or classes that are almost invincible because of the design.
For example, let say you have an M16(very good gun, almost too good), Juggernaut(health boost Perk),Last Stand(You get shot, your character lays on the ground for a little while and shoots his pistol), this character is almost invincible, because as soon as you shoot him to the ground he pulls his Desert Eagle and keeps on shooting you, it take 2-3 people to down this guy.
Or a character that is carrying a silenced gun, and is invisible to radar, plus he makes no noise when he walks, you can't find this guy, he can walk all over you and you'll never know.
This is mostly a flaw of people, as any game has an overpowered gun/ability, it is an unfortunate thing that people will use that to win.
There are no Vehicles that are user operated in Call of Duty, you can call in a helicopter or airstrike based on kills.
Note:These bonuses are fun, and sometimes save a game, but a lot of the time they can turn a small lead into a blowout, as one person gets his chopper, this allows someone to get his, until the entire opposing team is blasting yours and you can't move for fear of being annihilated.
Again it is in the players, if everybody is playing smart you can actually down the choppers, and air strikes rarely kill people inside structures.
Stealth plays a large role in this game, silenced weapons can rule the battlefield as nobody can find them, and sniper is never safe to hold a position, as any good stealth player can come behind him and destroy his lead with a single knife thrust.
I am a HUGE fan of the killcam, not only is it good for taunt value(look what I did to you!), but it tells you where the guy was, and teaches a little bit of strategy.
Drawbacks:1. it gives a sniper one kill before he must change positions 2. The killcam never shows the losing player firing, even if he was.
Campaign wise: Call of Duty has some issues, like enemy closets that will spawn bad guys until you move on, and some issues of AI getting people stuck in walls or not noticing the explosion of his partners head next to him.
If I could have three wishes for DLC, I would want:
1. The ability to change my own Camo
2. More choice in my gun's look, Red dot sights made several different looks in the game, one with a crosslike "dot"
3. More Perks/Guns/Attachments(silent Sniper, Laser sight on M16)
Overall, My favorite Multiplayer game EVER.
