Dead Space 2 Review !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


http://www.boomtron.com/2010/09/dead-space-2-%E2%80%93-hands-on-impressions-pax-prime-2010/


Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third person shooter game that puts you as Isaac Clarke, an engineer with dementia trying to fight his dementia and survive another necromorph outbreak. It is  the sequel to Dead Space (2008), which was well received by many game reviewing magazines, and websites. Dead Space 2 is Rated M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. This game was published by EA which is very well known for its sports games, such as Madden NFL. This game came out on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. First of all, if you don't like games that scare you then you are probably not going to like this game as much as others, because you will constantly be on your toes expecting something to jump out on you. When I played this game, most of the time I was on alert because I learned that if you put your guard down on this game, you will get easily startled. This game's environment also adds to the scary factor because its so empty and creepy that you can't expect anything less then a huge bladed monster to jump out and kill you. The fact that this game is stunning in the graphics category just adds to how the environment contribute to the survival horror aspect of the game. The voice acting is fantastic in here , but I believe the best sounds were the ones that you heard throughout the game, because that just totally added to the creepiness of it. One of the scariest moments I had in the game was when I was locked in a room that had flashing lights and when I heard the music that tells you if enemies are around, I was terrified. The gameplay is similar to the first but there are a few improvements like better melee attacks. I think this game has a ton of replay value because of all the things you can upgrade or find, which keeps me coming back to play it again. This game's story mode is about 10 to 12 hours long depending on your skill level and how much exploring you do, which I have to admit is not a lot but still decent. After single player, there is a multi player mode that isn't the best out there, but it is still partially enjoyable. In conclusion, I think this game is fantastic and that if you are a huge survival horror fan, then this is a must own. If you aren't much of a survival horor fan, then you should probably still rent it. I give this game a 9.5/10.

Iron Man Review!!!!!!!!!






This movie is a great recommendation for anybody and a must see for comic book or super hero movie fans. I never really knew Iron Man that much as a superhero character, but now I have no doubt that he is now one my favorite Marvel superheros. This movie is just fantastic, because the movie just has a nice flow. What I mean by that is that it never has one of those moments where you are waiting for a scene to end. Tony Stark or Iron man, is played by Robert Downey Jr., which I think he did a terrific job playing as . He convinced me that he was the funny, intelligent, and clever character that is Tony Stark. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper Potts who is Tony Starks assistant. I can name all the actors but all I have to say is that each one of them does an amazing job and I find it difficult to think of anything they could of improved on. There is a lot of great visuals here and the action will make any action fan satisfied. I think that the best part is Tony Stark himself because the type of person he is and changes into is the most entertaining part of the movie. Like most superhero films, they are all similar so you know what to expect. They all have a villain or possibly multiple villains. I cannot tell you who the villain is exactly because that would ruin part of the plot. Another part I enjoyed was the humor because this movie wasn't completely serious and I think the funniest parts were the ons Tony Stark was in. This movie is PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content. This movie runs 2 hours and 6 minutes long but there probably won't be a minute where your bored. The only bad thing for me was that even though there were great action scenes I still wish there were more. This movie is great and if you haven't seen it I recommended you go and purchase or rent this movie. I give this movie a 9.5/10.

Star Trek (2009) REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!


http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://filmpopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Star-Trek-2009.jpg&imgrefurl=http://filmpopper.com/star-trek-tops-2009-pirated-list/&usg=__J37d2Tx2oTt-jEK4Ffm1xob1oeg=&h=1185&w=800&sz=132&hl=en&start=2&zoom=1&tbnid=T6ntRqUfh3aBhM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=101&ei=xueTTcCAMoyEtgfHvoiLDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstar%2Btrek%2B2009%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D766%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1

Although I have never really been into Star Trek before, I still found that this movie was incredible. If you never watched any of the old Star Trek episodes, then don't worry because this movie is fantastic at explaining everything clearly. First of all, this film has one of the best visuals I have seen in any movie. The action in this movie will be more than enough for all of those action fans reading this review. This movie isn't 100% serious, it does have some funny parts in it, which is nice because some people don't enjoy a completely serious movie. As I said, you don't have to be a huge Star Trek fan to enjoy this movie, but if you are then you will just love this movie because then you can see similarities in both separate series. All of the actors were fantastic, and they couldn't have done a better job. Chris Pine played as James Kirk, which to the Star Trek fans is Captain Kirk. I that one of this movies best part is the characters. Not only was the acting fantastic but the characters were so well portrayed. Each one was different from the other, and they were all memorable. This movie is 2 hours and 6 minutes long, but no worries because this movie will keep you glued to your seat in anticipation to see what happens next. This movie is PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content. This  movie came out on May 7, 2009. This movie was directed by J.J. Abrams and I hope to see more films directed by him. Overall, this movie is fantastic and if you haven't seen it then I recommended you go watch. Too bad this movie isn't in Theaters anymore, because I watched this on a computer, but I am surprised on how incredible this would be in a movie theater. I give this movie a 10/10.

Terminator Salvation Review!!








http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/964/964409/terminator-salvation-20090319000343249.jpg&imgrefurl=http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/615765/terminator-salvation/images/terminator-salvation-20090319000343249.html%3Fpage%3DmediaFull&usg=__xtEiku8jv6TQrGyAgzQ-ZCBJPjs=&h=720&w=486&sz=155&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=w-F-nbHLWRRUoM:&tbnh=184&tbnw=126&ei=uANrTcj5OcqBtgeq1PnnAw&prev=/images%3Fq%3DTerminator%2BSalvation%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D809%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=553&vpy=115&dur=5055&hovh=273&hovw=184&tx=106&ty=187&oei=uANrTcj5OcqBtgeq1PnnAw&page=1&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0

Terminator Salvation is a movie about John Connor and how he is leading a group of survivors to fight against the machines. Terminator Salvation is the 4th movie of the Terminator series. This movie is certainly different from the other Terminator movies so if you haven't seen the other 3 then you aren't really going to be confused during this movie. This movie is PG - 13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and language. This movie is great  if you want to see a fantastic action movie, but if you are a fan of the other 3 then your going to find this one not as good as the others because of how different it is. Christian Bale( Played Batman in The Dark Knight) stars as John Connor, the leaders of the rebels that are fighting the machines to end the war. Sam Worthington ( Plays Jake Sully in Avatar) is also in the movie, but I can't say much about his character because that might ruin part of the movie. Both of these actors are great in this movie because they really capture the sense that they are trying to survive and how they perform in the actions scenes is fantastic. Another person that a few people might know is Common, who is a rapper. The special effects in this movie were very well done. There were scenes where they would face off against the machines and the combat looked believable. This movie 1 hour and 54 minutes long and I enjoyed it the entire way through. During this movie I never had the feeling that I just wanted the characters to stop talking because the story was well made and I enjoyed the dialogue. The only bad thing that I want to point out is that this is just an action movie and to some fans of the Terminator series, it might be a disappointment. Overall this movie was fun and I would recommend people who enjoy action films or have seen the other Terminator movies to go rent or buy this movie. I give this movie a 9 out of 10.

Red Dead Redemption review!























http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/video-game-release-spotlight-red-dead-redemption-1972764.html?action=Gallery&ino=2

Red Dead Redemption is a open world western game in which you play as John Marston, a past outlaw who gave up his past life and tries to hunt down his former friend that left him to die . Read Dead Redemption is made by the same developers that are famous for the Grand Theft Auto series which are great games. This game is rated M for Blood, Intense Violence, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, and Use of Drugs. This game has 2 main parts to it, Story Mode and Online Multiplayer. The story mode by itself should enough for the game price, but multiplayer is added into the game as well. The story takes alot of time to beat even if all you do are the muissions. I would recommend exploring and doing other things such as challenges and side quests becasue those help pull you into the story. The multiplayer is not the best part in my opinion but it is enjoyable. The competitive modes such as deathmatch, i found were slightly boring because there was no skill in just locking on to an enemy and just shooting. The best mode was possibly Free Roam because its basically  juts roaming around the world doing challenges and gang hideouts that you can do with your friends. The graphics are amazing and the physics in the game were realistic because if they were to get shot in a certain place then they would react to it. The music was great because it seemed like it came straight out of a Western movie. There were a few bugs in the game, but they weren't game ruining in anyway. I would rate this game a 10 out of 10 because there is tons of fun things to do and a multiplayer mode that is enjoyable.

Inception REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Inception is a movie directed by Christopher Nolan, the person who directed The Dark Knight, and its one of those films where you have to pay attention because its so complex that if you miss one thing it might be confusing for you. There are many famous actors in this movie including Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gorden Levitt, Ellen Page, Matt Hardy, Michael Caine and many others. So the main character is DiCaprio and he is just an awesome actor and he is a wanted criminal in the U.S. for certain reasons I cannot say because that would spoil a very important part of the movie. So DiCaprio is a professional at going into peoples minds and taking their ideas and there is a job he must do that will allow him to go back into the U.S., but its not that simple because its not deception, its inception because instead of taking an idea, your planting one.So all the actors in my opinion do a wonderful job, especially Joseph Gorden Levitt because he was just amazing in the movie and I wish there were more of him in the movie and also there is a fight scene in the movie including him that just amazed me. This movie is best watched in the theaters because the sounds and effects are just spectacular in the big screen. Inception left even some of the smartest reviewers confused because it is so complex and I think for most people, including myself, will have to watch it at least 3 times to understand completely.Some people don't like this movie at all because they say that its too complex, but this movie is amazing because its just interesting to link things in the beginning of the movie to the the end. Inception is coming out on DVD and Bluray this December and for those who haven't watched it I recommend you go out and buy it and just watch it over and over again. I give this movie a 10 out of 10 because the plot was amazing, the acting was phenomenal, and the effects and sound are unforgettable.

CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS!

Call of Duty Blacks is the seventh game of Call of Duty and it still carries the way Call of Duty is, by being one of the best First Person Shooters ever on consoles and PC's. Black Ops has 3 main parts to it, Campaign mode , Multiplayer, and ZOMBIES!   The campaign mode is good, but its not worth the cost of the game. You play as Mason, a Black Ops soldier, and you start the story in a chair and you are being interrigated becasue only Mason knows something the U.S. government needs to know so they can save thier country. The missions you play are Masons flashbacks as you try and remember this special information which leads to a chemical gas that, in the wrong hands, can bring down the U.S. Its one of the best Call of Duty campaigns, but it still doesnt match up to Call of Duty 4's campaign. Now lets move on to Multiplayer. The multiplayer is where players will spend most of the time at and heres a fact; in the bottom of the multiplayer screen there is information such as how many kills and how many grenades have been thrown, etc., and I saw that in total of all the players on PS3 that play Black Ops, they have been playing for over 1000 years! This just shows that the multiplayer is very addicting. The perk system is back and the create a class is just as good as before. One big change is that there is a new currency system in which youain COd points that you can use to buy weapons. A bad thing about that is that you have to unlock the weapon first but I suppose it works in the game because of the new customization. You are able to customize your weapon in many ways such as camo's or emblems on your weapon. Its still fun and wil last players for a long time. Zombies started in Call of Duty World At War and is another big part  of Black Ops. It is a mode where you survive as long as you can and you face waves of zombies. They have some things in the zombie mode that you can use to survive. This game is amazing and is a must own because it is another call of duty game that provides hours of entertainment for players. I give this game a 9.5 out of 10.
