Enslaved Demo This is the game by Ninja Theory, who also developed Heavenly Sword. I believe the reason they made Enslaved is because Sony owns the Heavenly Sword IP and the engine they used to create the game, so if you play Enslaved and roll your eyes when you see the Unreal Engine is being used that’s why. They also went multiplatform because they made no money from Heavenly Sword and ... Read More!
Caught “Resident Evil: Afterlife” this weekend. I actually thought this movie was called Resident Evil 3D. Something on a technical note, this is the first film since Avatar to use James Cameron’s camera, the Fusion Camera System. RE3D, (I’m just going to call it that), was solely designed to be a spectacle to show off slow motion 3D action. The CGI is poor in some areas, and ... Read More!
Watched that King of the Fighters movie last night. Good lord, what a horrible movie. I can’t even go into specifics except the whole thing was just horrible. 5 minutes in I was thinking I should just watch MacGruber and at least get some laughs. The movie makes any movie look good, like the Chun Li Street Fighter movie, Battlefield Earth, The Avengers (with Ralph Fiennes and Uma ... Read More!
Caught Scott Pilgrim this weekend. It got moved to the cheap theatres up here but is still available at the local cinemas for regular price. I only paid $3.50 for admission and even then my cousin treated me so I paid nothing.
Horrible film. Trailers utterly deceiving. The only redeeming part was near the end in respect to what the main character does with the ocean. There is a beautiful contrast of the sea being tamed by the flowing movements of a little boy. It’s a forgivable piece for me in respect to what the film is as a whole. I appreciate that type of cinematography, it’s a wonderful thing but ... Read More!
Not what I typically expected, I was worried I’d be bored watching it but once the action picked up, it actually picked up. Problem was I never really both that Rhys-Meyers guy, he wasn’t as aggressive as say when I saw him in MI3. I don’t think he’s suited for lead type roles something about him seemed not manly enough? Does that make sense, maybe too pretty boy? ... Read More!
Inception. My two word review: Frighteningly Incredible. This movie from a pure conceptual standpoint is brilliant, it was my type of movie and to spoil it would be a disservice to you. I went in with blackout mode in full effect, saw the trailer in the theatres way back learned what the inception was but once I got to the theatre I seemingly forget what the inception was and learned it ...

Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This movie is exactly what you expect it too be. The introduction and backstory I dug, I really REALLY wish The Last Airbender had done the same thing with how it got the people into the movie. It would’ve been so simple and just enough magic to make me say, hey I want to know the rest. That was Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the idea of it seemed magical ... Read More!
Unthinkable is that terrorist movie with Sam Jackson and Carrie Ann Moss. The villain is played by the guy who plays Lucian in the Underworld series. Movie was never released in the US, don’t know why. It could be cause of the subject matter. It’s a straight up terrorist movie with Iranians as the bad guys so it’s current events type thing. Basically dude plants 3 nuclear ... Read More!
I didn't like the intro sequence for the game, it was like watching a trailer for the game and I was seeing CG cutscenes of events that looked cool but didn't happen yet and as such was being spoiled. The first chapter of the game is the demo I imported over a year ago, so I actually played the first hour which felt rather monotonous. I kept telling myself, gotta get through this ... Read More!
So I played NSBWii. A lot tougher then I anticipated. With up to 4players it is a classic. New power ups are cool. I hate how tiny the damn buttons are on the Wiimote. Actually I don’t like the Nintendo controller completely based on how tiny it is and how it really doesn’t work for traditional gameplay. The nunchuk and Wiimote combo works but when you’re playing traditional ... Read More!
Ok this game is for real. Bayonetta that is. The first clock tower scene is shaky I guess if you care about framerate, it doesn’t help I watched the PS3/360 comparison video for it. However beyond that part the game runs fine to me. Graphically it’s like a B, but with the art directions whether the blur/grain on the entire game was intentional I push it’s visuals to a ...

Wow! I forgot to give you impressions! This is going to be a hell of a game,it was the E3 demo but I was really really surprised how much was left toplay from what they showed on stage. Only about half was shown, which was ashame because the demo ends on a high note. If you’ve played the previousGOW games, basically the third game has bigger graphics, bigger setpieces,more gore then I can ... Read More!
What to say about this game… I honestly and this is sincere. I don’t know if it’s a good game or if it’s a bad game. Basically put 2 hrs into this game, there are 10 worlds I believe with like 11 stages per world. However each stage has a puzzle mode or action mode. Puzzle mode you have to solve something, action mode you have to reach your destination and/or do ... Read More!
Flat out enjoying it! Same old smash and mash gameplay. I chose Wolverine based on healing factor, it really goes a loooong way. I mean when you don’t have to heal yourself… it’s pretty awesome. As per usual you have to unlock characters along the way and some characters are straight up DLC. I’m did some Juggernaut scam yesterday so hopefully I get the free DLC code for ... Read More!
Didn’t do that much gaming this weekend, I got caught up watching House on TV and subsequently went out and picked up the TV show on DVDs. It’s easily my favorite show on TV and maybe ever. I did however finish the NBA Draft Combine. Incredibly disappointed overall with it after I “beat” it. You are limited to 6 drills and 6 games, but after which you can continue ... Read More!
I caught Gamer the other night. I dunno what to say about this movie other than it’s justifiably horrible. I get it though, I get what the director is trying to portray and even in some ways the movie is ‘Ok’. About half way through the movie I was waiting for it to ‘start’ and actually show there was a slightly compelling reason as to why this movie was even made, ... Read More!
