Ghostbusters


Who you gonna call? This game is really interesting and fun.

After the events of the second movie a rookie by the name of "Rookie" is hired to test the new and expermental equipment. But After a whole lot of paranormal events the ghostbusters try to work out what is causing all the maddness.

Alot of the events in the game are copied from the movie with lame excuses. But it was fun anyway. Some of the puzzles were overwhelmingly hard and I couldn't resist looking up a walkthrough. Fun but hard.

8.5/10

Mass Effect

Mass Effect is an RPG/AAG. It has good graphics, and good action.

In the future man kind has descoverd the Mass Relays, which allow ships to instantly be teleported to other relays. This invention was discoverd several years ago, but man kind is still a young race in the whole galactic spectrum. After discovering a Spectre (a special agent with a pass to do anything) has gone rouge, the council has appointed Commander Shepard to take him down. Whatever the cost.

The gameplay is confusing at first but you get used to it pretty quickly. It was interesting and i liked it how your choices effected the game. It was really fun,

The Taking of Pelham 123


Pelham 123 was a good movie, good acting and a good story.
It takes place in present day New York when a gang of criminals have hijacked the Pelham 123 train and are demanding 10 million dollers. The authorities have 1 hour to get the money, when the hour is up the gang will kill a passenger every minute they are overdue.
It was a good watch, but only good. If you're at the video store and you need to kill some time i'd recomend this.

Fanboys




Fanboys is the ultimate movie for any, well... Fanboy. It is very funny.


In 1998 Star Wars fans are left in darkness. But The Phantom Menace is on the horizon. But the wait is more painfull than a blaster bolt to the hip. So a bunch of Fans decide to take a road trip to the Lucas Ranch to steal a rough print. What could go wrong.
It was a hilarious movie. Not anything bad I can really say.

Tropic Thunder


Tropic Thunder is hands down the funniest movie I've seen. At the movies I nearly pissed myself.
It is about a team of actors who are in the proces of making a movie of a novel written my a war hero. When the studio threatens to cut the budget the director takes the team into the real veitnam jungle to make the movie.
It is hilarious. A very funny movie. I'd recomend it to anyone with a sense of humor.

Watchmen




Watchmen is mind blowing. The fight scenes are insanely stylised (in a good way).
It is set in an alternate 1985, when all superheros have been outlawed.
After the death of the cynical "Comedian", Rorschach - a masked physco decides to take the investigation into his own hands. He and the other ex-supers discover a higher plot behind it all.
It was an awesome and revolutionary movie. I'd really recomend reading the comic first though.

Mirror's Edge


I got Mirror's Edge about a week ago. It is so fun.
It is set in a world where there are rules and oppression everywhere.
You play as Faith a "runner" (someone who can run up walls and pull off heaps of cool stunts) and you have to deliver messages to other runners in an attempt to eventually free the city.
It is pretty non violent with the exception of a few punches and kicks and the occasional gun. though it discourages guns because they slow you down. It was an enjoyable game and definatly an undiscovered genre, but it wasn't used to fullest of it's potential. It could have been more risky and out there. They should have used this new idea to create a new genre not just a good game.
7/10
