no...
The only reason i gave this product 2 stars is that it is more cost effective than replacing disposable batteries. This basically changes a wireless controller into a wired one, while yes you can play and charge, but it takes way too long. Rechargeable batteries isnt bad idea, but i'd get the quick charge kit basically same thing as rechargeable batteries only it is made for charging 360 battery packs (comes with one rechargeable battery pack) and is capable of charging two at the same time... extremely quickly... about hour and a half for 1 battery pack and around 3 and a half to 4 hours for 2 battery packs

Unnecessary peripheral
While this can be handy, there is a far better solution for having rechargable batteries for the wireless 360 controller.
A must need
IF you are a hard core gamer like me then this is a must need. When i first bought the 360 i got suckered in to buying this for my controler by the store clerk and you know what iam glad i bought it.WIth out the play and charge kit you have to constantly change out batteries every few hours, but with the play and charge kit i just have to wait for the controler to die plug this thing in and bam iam back in the game with out having to look for new batteries for minutes on end and it will save you alot of money in the long run.YOU have to buy this in order to play 360 constantly and also if you have four controlers for if buddies come over buy it for those controlers too. yes i know the 360 only has two usb ports but if your like me i have a computer too so you can plug two more in those usb ports.but if you dont then you can always revert back to batteries until yall are done then you can recharge the controlers over night. ...

fun time
I like Lego Star Wars, and don't think the game is aimed toward children either.My only complaint is that we're already beginning to get flooded with too many Lego Star Wars games and I'm not going to sit around and put up with it.Actually, I can't do anything about it but complain.Pick up ONE Lego Star Wars game and, for the love of God, move on to something completely different and pretend that NO MORE than just ONE Lego Star Wars game exists.That way you won't go crazy when you see just how many DO exist.

Brilliant, even in comparison to Tomb Raider, Tenchu, and Metal Gear
This game is really perfect.It's complicated enough to keep your brain active, without endless, mindless fighting as in Kingdom Hearts--which my wife loves, but I only see as one unending battle scene and inappropriate for the children it's aimed at.
Great Game
It's a lot of fun, however, the original trilogy is going to be much better. But, I recommend both. Another Star Wars game I recommend is Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. I have both, and they rock! But, this of course is great. I have lots of Star Wars games, but this ranks top five. ... Read more

This is the best game ever!
This is a really fun, exiting game that you can play for years and not get bored of. Emerald is different than the other games. First, when you meet a wild or trainer pokemon, they do an animation. Like when you meet a wild Linoone, they swish their tail from side to side. And Aron jumps up. If you have beaten the Elite Four, you can trade with players from other reigons, like FireRed. This game is a good game to play on long, boring road trips or just at home relaxing. The only flaw is that it costs 30$!!!

This is a really fun game
I bought this game last month.This is my favorite game. You can trade pokemon with other versions with a gamelink. You need to be able to read to play the game. Buy this game!

Emerald is the best game ever

Not Nancy Drew's Best
I was very excited when I heard that the newest Nancy Drew PC game would take place in Paris and yet, it didn't live up to my expectiations.The running errands and chains of "if you do this for me then i'll give you..." that always appear in these games were more tedious than any before and took up most of the game.Beside that I had trouble understanding the plot, many elements of the game were not explained (like why one character had electrical engeneering books), and the motive of the criminal was too far fetched to believe.Combined with the fact that the Parisian setting was not used to it's full potential, Danger by Design is a sign that Herinteractive is running out of ideas.

Nancy Drew Rocks
Even though Nancy Drew does rock, this wasn't my favorite game by HerInteractive.I know it takes Herinteractive a lot of pressure and time to create these games.My feeling is that The Nancy Drew game series is starting to decline.All the Nancy Drew games I have played I would rate 5 stars.Danger by Design disapointed me due to lack of diolague and how many things did not add up.One example is the why did someone not explain why s/he had a certain book.Of course the graphics are AMAZING and the characters have their charm as always, and Nancy Drew is still the best.I just hope that Herinteractive does a better job on their next game "Creature of Kapa Cave."

An Awesome Fashion/Puzzle Game!
I think this game rocks! You should try the demo at herinteractive.com first because it is a perfect example of what the game is like. I loved it because I love fashion but even if you aren't a total fashion fanatic like me you'll still love the latest installment in the Nancy Drew PC game series. It is by far the best that I've played although I've only played 4 and 5 besides this one.

You'll need this
The Xbox 360 charger only comes with 1 battery.If you play alot you're going to need an extra.There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a great game and your juice runs out.Get this extra battery!!

A must have!!!!!
I just got my 360, i bought a battery with charger for my first controller, then i bought a new one, so now i bought this, i have one charger allready.

You don't need this!
Why buy a rechargable battery pack, when you could just buy more veristal (and cheaper) rechargable batteries?The charger is sold separately, so it just doesn't make sense.

So Stupid!
Now, before you say anything, I have played this game and beaten it in the week provided by blockbuster(grudgingly playing it though)and now for the unbaiased opinion. I think that this game is so completely stupid. It and the sequel are retarded but again its my opinion.

One of the Best Games Ever
I unlike a lot of other people did not buy this game when it first came out.My initial thought was what was Squar thinking.I was thinking this could be nothing more than a childs game.It wasnt until I talked to a number of other people, right before KH2 came out did i finaly listen to all those people and spend the $20 to get the game, (as was the price of the game by then,) and low and behold, by the time I finished watching just the opening scene I was hooked.I played that game for what seemed like hours on in, (it was really only a very long weekend.) But that game became so addicting I immediatly went out and bought the second one the day it came out.The story line was on par with that of Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy VII, my two favorit games in the world. I would recomend this game to anyone with even the slightes bit of imagination.If you can even dare to dream you will instantly love this game as I did.It was well worth the price, and my only regret is that i did not buy it sooner.

Toss up
Fighting- the combat isn't as in depth as traditional gamers would expect since combat consists of dodging striking and magic. Still you may find yourself sweating when a fight gets really close.

One of Two Top Software My Daughter Loves
Right along with the Giggles software this is the highest ranking software for my 3-year-old daughter. As Giggles taught her mouse movement and clicks, Kid Pix Delux has given her a new freedom of interactivity. While she can drag and drop amazing backgrounds, she loves to create lines and circles as they stretch and make goofy sounds. I set this program to automatically start when she turns on her computer. For some reason she loves to exit out of Kid Pix Delux first, go to Giggles (search Amazon for this product,) giggle at the cutest giggles when this program starts, and then comes right back to Kid Pix Delux to do her art work. The CD I bought is for Windows.

IT IS A REALLY REALLY COOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL GAME.Never trust Jedi mom!!

Awesome game... no other way to put it.
Kingdom Hearts II is the long-awaited sequel to the 2002 Disney/Square collaboration Kingdom Hearts. Picking up the story where the former game--and the interim Game Boy Advance release, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories--left off, Kingdom Hearts II guides you through a series of Disney-themed worlds as you encounter a cast of characters that reads straight off the credits of some of the most popular Square games and Disney movies. Though the formula in KHII is quite familiar, much of the gameplay has changed, and it's safe to say that it's been for the better. Fans of the original game and of Disney/Square properties in general will fall in love with this game quite easily, though a few problems with the basic gameplay prevent Kingdom Hearts II from being whole-heartedly recommendable to everyone else.

im to hott for yalll

An O.K. Game
I am 13 and a half years old, and I love the show Hannah Montana, and I love Miley Cyrus, that is why I got it. I Started playing this game, is was fun at first, then it got really anoying. You do like the same tasks over and over, it's really anoying. I got a head ache from the music, and I beat this game in less than two hours. I wouldn't recomend for any one, only if you are really bored one day. It is fun when you go into Hannah's closet you can dress her, but you can't do any thing else. At the end it is a surprise but it's cheesy. Hope you follow my advice, I will probably ask my dad to put this game on ebay, because I don't want to play it any more, so I will just sell it.

Fun... But for little kids!
I'm not a little kid. I'm 10 yrs. old and LOVE Hannah Montana! So got got this game. The point is to finish the mystery. There is 3 missions to complete. I finished the game the day i got it! And this is a game you can't play over because you know what will happen!

Good first version
The game play is pretty good. The graphics are workable. It is a little too easy on the easy level. It does well accessing the Star Wars world.

Empire at War
The graphics leave a little to be desired, but overall the game is fun to play.My kids really get into the battles.

This game is fun, but still has severe bugs after 5 patches.
I love the graphics and gameplay in Star Wars, Empire at War.The space battles are geat and there is plenty of strategy.Beware, however, that this game has SEVERE bugs.It will crash randomly to the dektop, and freeze to make you restart your computer.You may not be able to complete the campaign because of the bugs and glitches.This already has 5 patches, but they only introduce new issues.BUT, this game is still worth it in my opinion, because it is so fun and strategic.You will have to make that decision for yourself. ...

Excelent! for a while...
I had The Sims 1 for a long time before I got this game, and I was looking forward to its release in Mac. I wasn't disappointed. This is a really fun game, with alot of new features. Unfortunately, like the old one, I became easily tired with it. The Sims 2 gets pretty repetative. It is still worth it, because if you get a new expansion pack every once in a while it makes it really fun again.
Slow on 1.5GHz w/ 1.25GbRam
I've got a 12'' PowerPC PowerBook with 1.5GHz cpu, 1.25Gb of ram, and 64mb graphic card. And the game is very choppy and laggy. This definitely detracts a lot from the game play.
Runs better on Mac
If you have a Mac, this game is worth getting.It has cool videos to go with special scenes which is a neat new feature.I find that it runs better on the Mac but that may be because I didn't have a very good PC.I've always been in to playing the Sims so if you like the Sims this is a good buy. ...

Improvement over original SP
I bought this pink gameboy advance SP for my daughter, who loves pink. Her older brother, who normally would rather be caught dead than with something pink, actually traded gameboys with his sister because the "lighting and screen are so much better" on this version of the SP. It must be a heck of an improvement -- he doesn't even hesitate to carry it around in public despite the color!

Really great toy
My daughters are only ages 4 and 5 and they love their pink gameboys!I initially just bought one thinking they were too young to play them but we nearly immediately had to go out and buy another one because they both loved it so much.I am really impressed by the quality of the games and the number of games available for this age range.I also am not a big advocate of computer games over other activities, but there have been many times when the gameboy has been a terrific time filler for my kids on car rides and in waiting situations that have kept them busy, happy, and occupied.It's very sturdy and both of ours have been dropped a number of times with no damage at all.Also the batteries seem to last a very long time.I will admit to enjoying playing it myself!Gameboy has come along way from what I remembered it being. I would definitely recommend it.

Wonderful
I loved this product for my Granddaughter. It is easy for her to care for as a five year old. it is pretty and the games are great. I make sure to choose age-appropiate games and she has lots of fun. I had been worried that she might get "addicted" but no problems there either. She plays for awhile and laughs out loud at times whilst other times she cries out in frustration but good humoredly; then she puts it down and runs off to play healthy children's activities. It is just great as a wind-down time for her and it teaches her to try hard but to not always expect to win every game.

After all is said and done...its worth the price of admission.
After having played through a large portion of Bully, I can say this: Though its gameplay style may mimic other Rockstar titles (mainly the Grand Theft Auto series), Bully stands out on its own with many tweaks, themes, options, and fun to warrant itself as a standalone game worthy of praise, and not just another clone.
The PS2's very own version of "The Catcher in the Rye"
Bully may very well be one of the most contraversial games of all time.Looked down upon by many groups, parents and politicians as a "Grand Thef Auto in a high school," or a "Columbine Simulator," simply based of Rockstars reputation it has for putting out adult oriented games.Especially when stacked with the contraversy surrounding the Hot Coffee Mod found in San Andreas last year.The game suffered long before it's release when Rockstar only had a name to their game.Now that it's finally out we can see just what this game is, and what it isn't.

Yes
All of the people that gave this game a review of more than two stars are bs-ing you.Those people are probably hardcore ff7 fans - that game was barely mediocre at best.Other ff7 releases = advent children, cell phone game, and movie/tv show thing.All three things, resectively, sucked.Now comes, "Dierge of Cerberus"whoop did eeee doo!!The only reason why I rented it was because the title says, "final fantasy" in it.The only redeeming quality of this game is the cutscenes - other than that, boring.If you can get more than 20 minutes through the game, then by all means, it's the game for you.

Fun game......just a really bad game.....
I read poor reviews for this game in PSM magazine yet failed to believe them seeing I am a hardcore Final Fantasy fan. I ran to the store and picked this up, popped it in my PS2, and awaited to review it myself. I seem to speak for myself when saying this...but I just think simple games that are easy are just...fun. This game was amazingly fun, just not worth 50$. I highly suggest renting this game, unless you're a FF collecter (like myself). The length is also dissapointing, seeing I beat it in one sitting (only about a 4-6 hour game).
This game is the definition of "Generic"
I just beat DoC (Dirge of Cerberus), and if I had to describe this game in 1 word, it would be: generic - and that saddens me deeply, because this game had the potential to be bad arse. I mean come on, Vincent Valentine (cool name, huh?) is a awesome, well designed character, and the FFVII world is a classic theme based world to make a great game off of - RPG or not.

Top 3 PS2 game ever
This game is simply awesome. I received it for a gift last Christmas and I still love it. The graphics & action are amazing, it's not available on XBOX. If you don't already own this game you simply cannot go wrong w/ this masterpiece. You'll love it. The main character, Kratos, reminds me of Quan chi in Mortal Kombat. Looking forward to God of War 2 !

One of the best action games PERIOD.
You've read a lot of reviews to get to this one, most likely, and they've gone on about how great it looks (it does look tremendous), how fantastic the gameplay is (it is awe-inspiring), and how just absolutely great of a gaming experience it is. There are a few things that I would like to add. First off, there is one slight problem with the game. Personally, with action games of the 3rd-person variety, I like to be able to control the camera. This game does not have that. Instead, you are taken where the gamemakers want you to go and only what they want you to see. This is a very slight complaint, and one I'm hoping will be improved with GOD OF WAR II. The second thing that I would like to add is that the Mythological aspect of this game is GREAT! It really gives the game a very epic scale that is not found in a great many games. It's the thing that drives this game farther than it usually would. It's a tremendously entertaining, and oft-times thought-provoking, game that has a sense of gravitas that most action slice'em-dice'em games of this type get to. Get it!

From the video game widow's point of view...
My husband brought this game home and I thought, "Oh no, I guess we're not having multisyllable conversations for the next few weeks..." But to my surprise not only did he ABSOLUTELY love this game but I would sit next to him and watch, totally transfixed by the amazing detail and effort that the creators poured into this game. I caught myself saying, "Baby, aren't you going to play your game?" This game is incredible and while I am not at all a gamer I'm tempted to try it out! Everyone not shocked by gore (and I mean LOTS of gore) should play this game. Every game should be this well made.

PRETTY GOOD GAME BUT PRETTY HIGH REQUIREMENTS
This is easily the best rpg for the computer ever created, the only problem is that you need really high system requirments, even higher than the box suggests most of the time. But if you can make it work on your computer than this game you will not stop playing for a looooooong time. The graphics if you can run them on high detail are CRAZY AWESOME. There are so many weapons and armor and side quests. You will spend a long time playing this game if you want to 100% complete it by doing the main quest and all of the side quests. And another good thing about this collector's edition is that you get a big map that says where the key areas in cyrodiil are. The mini-guide to tamrial is helpful to because it tells you about the characters and all about the eras of the game. And the Septim coin is pretty cool because you get to see what the money in the game looks like. So overall this game is THE BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED FOR PC.

What you need to know before buying
The game requires a very high end video-card in order to display correctly - even with a newly new 2.8 GHz HP desktop, I wasn't able to play the game without the purchase of a new video card - the CHEAPEST supported video card being just over $100.

Easier than many alternatives
I was using a basic Linksys wireless game adapter with my 360, and it worked fine. However, it needed to be connected to a PC for firmware updates (making it impossible for Mac users), and was generally more difficult to set up than the "official" adapter from Microsoft.
network adaptor
i love having the wireless network adapter, but i was truely pissed when i saw it cost 99.99. Microsoft just trying to rip you off for something you basically have to own.

Preaching to the choir
Well, I must say after purchasing the Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter that while yes this adapter is overpriced, it does work and considering that I only got the Linksys adapter to work once and then it shut down in the middle of an update I must say the price looked worth it.

Welcome, to the beautiful world of Tyria.
When you look back at some of the first MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games) it's incredible to see how far they've come along.There really wasn't too much hype coming from the release of this game, but I can assure you Guild Wars, although it shares many qualities of a fantasy online RPG, distinguishes itself from others.With a unique skill system, beautiful graphics, a dual profession system, and for the first time, no monthly fee, this game was almost made to be a sure hit.The game starts you off in the city of Ascalon, pressed by hard times by the war against the ferocious creatures known as the Charr.Your hero must rise to the challenge of opposing these creatures and save your homeland from complete destruction; however, your journey takes you outside of the realm of Ascalon where you'll visit neighboring cities, explore vast jungles, and even walk Hell's Precipice!The storyline itself is riveting from start to finish, I never found myself not wanting to know more as the game progressed.Intricate cutscenes and storyline missions keep you wanting more.One of the game's most unique systems is how you can choose one primary class (warrior, necromancer, monk, ranger, elementalist, or mesmer) as well as possess the skills of a secondary class from the above list.Although you must use the same armor as your base class, it gives the game just that much more depth.With over 150 skills per profession, the character build possibilites seem almost endless.However, each player can only limit themselves to the use of 8 skills at a time, which provides a more strategic side to this RPG.The game world itself is gorgeous, characters are presented in high detail the lush land of Tyria is one you'll enjoy exploring.Ah, that reminds me, you'll be able to venture with allies to your chosen destinations.You begin only being able to venture with three other teammates but as the game progresses and becomes more difficult you can team up with up to 7 other allies; furthermore, there is also the option of using henchmen at no hiring fee.Now, crossing over to the PvP part of the game.It's just as encouraging to play as the PvE portion of the game is.It's fast, high action scenarios cause you to work cooperatively with your teammates.I won't get too much into that part of the game as there's lots to learn about it, but much of the style of play is introduced in the PvE portion of the game.If you're a newcomer to MMORPGs, here's one you might as well give a shot, with no monthly fee there's no real necessary attachment to it, for longtime MMORPG fans here's a game that delivers, it does a fantastic job at putting out all the stops to win you over, although it's not perfect, it sure does it's best to become so.
waterd down Diablo
This is a poor excuse for a MMORPG. It's to much like the worst parts of diablo 3.
Really Good MMO
