When I try to play a game (Call Of Duty WaW), it won't let me look up, and makes me spin around. I thought it maybe was the Look Inversion in the options, so I changed it, but then it only let me look to the sky. Any Ideas on how to fix it?

If you spin around that means the right stick is being pressed in a direction without you even touching it because of loss of calibration. There are some calibration utilities online but for the start you can let Windows calibrate your gamepad.

Open control panel -> classic view (on the left) -> Game Controllers -> Select your controller -> Properties -> Settings tab -> Select Calibration and follow the instructions. If during calibration you see that the right and/or left stick is being pressed in a direction, it is a hardware issue. In such cases replacing the controller is a better option. If it is still under warranty you can get it replaced. If you bought it from Game stop they do normally accept returns within a month or so.

There is one thing you can that sometimes works: Press the right stick towards right and turn it fast in a circle all the way through clockwise. Repeat it 3-4 times and then do it anti clockwise. It works for me each time my controller acts like that, I dont know how but it doesnt matter. Hope it works.

While playing call of duty on xbox 360 my controller when i look up and down is working in reverse

Your control settings have likely somehow become inverted. While in-game, go to the pause menu and select options. Make sure that Look Inversion is DISABLED.

Someone hacked my score to -2147483647 on call of duty world at war on the xbox 360, i have went from lvl 35 to lvl1 and cant play the online game

Your score is probably on Treyarch's servers and won't be reset, but maybe deleting your game save will reset it. WARNING: You will loose any progress you have made in the campaign, but you'll still keep your achievements.
To delete the save, go to the SYSTEM tab all the way right on the dashboard, Choose memory, then Games, then pick Call of Duty WaW, then pick delete. Look at any of the other folders and delete anything related to CoD World at War. Hopefully this will reset your score online.

It freezes when beginig the intro 2 the game

make sure your other games are playing fine. If your other games are playing fine then make sure the disc for call of duty WAW is clean with no smudges or dirt on the bottom and top of the disc.

If you still have problems then the disc for call of duty is bad and you would need to get another one.

If your other games are having probblems then take a can of air and gently blow it into the drive to make sure there are no specs of dust or dirt on the laser.

If you still have problems then the drive would need to be replaced.

Xbox 360 Blurry/Fuzzy Screen

The machine is overheating and the graphics chip on the main board is acting up cause of it. Make sure there is no dust or dirt blocking the air vents that would cause the system to heat up more then normal.

If that doesn't do it then maybe think about getting a cooler for the system, here is a website that talks about a few of them. Click here.

If that doesn't help then your mainboard is going bad and would need to be replaced.
