Skate (PS3): Skate has been said to be better than the Tony Hawk series, and I am here to tell you that it is. It is much less arcady, and it has great controls. The tilt features aren’t as tight as I would have like them to be, but they are good nonetheless. Graphics are spot on, and this may be one game that I would say looks better than its 360 counterpart – 85/100

Orange Box (360): The Orange box is a set of 5 games; Half Life, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress. All are amazing games, and this may be one of the greatest values in video game history, at sixty dollars. Graphics are much improved, as they have been redone for the original Half-Life and Episode 1, and Episode 2 has very good graphics also. Portal has great controls, and requires you to think a bit, even though it is not too hard. Team Fortress is a great multiplayer experience, and is very fun. I would definitely recommend picking this up – 95/100

Project Gotham Racing 4 (360): This is a very anticipated game for the 360, and is a sequel to a launch title for the system. One of the greatest features is the dynamic weather, in which the weather conditions can change through the game. Graphics are very good, and gameplay is also very tight, even though the game is quite arcady. The addiction of motorcycles is a welcome feature, and they do not disrupt gameplay at all – 90/100
