Prince of Persia is a great looking game, it has a variety of setting and the dialogue between characters is humorous. Your basically an acrobatic prince who jumps from one place to another with a princess trying to turn the work into good after being taken over by an evil prince. It a great looking game, almost looks like a moving painting and the characters move in such smooth lifelike motion, but it has no challenge. You can't die in the game. There is no challenge at all, if you fall into an endless pit you automatically get saved by the princess and the game doesn't rise in difficulty at all it the same old jump, but in different settings, so in the end I got bored of it and sold it back. The game certainly isn't worth buying, but it maybe deserves a rental.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Oh man what a great movie this is, oh yes, it's like time flew by when I watched it and it was a beauty too. I liked how each scene was setup with a particular feeling. As if every scene had a center piece to focus on, the steamboat, the ballroom, things like that. There isn't much to do then watch it. I would say it was my favourite movie of the year. wooT!

Skipping

Skipping is dumb. I've learned the hard way that it's not a very smart thing to do as Captain Obvious tells me and I shouldn't have never done it. So now I face the consequences. It sucks, but it's life. Hey! At least it's heart healthy! :D

Fallout 3 is an RPG game, a type of game I've never played or touched. They always seemed too complicated with number and lists and just too much care taking of characters. They were always a chore, but something about Fallout 3 struck me as different. The style, set in 2775 in a post apocalyptic world where everything was destroyed with nukes. You roamed the Capital Wasteland of Washington DC and it seemed so cool and it is. It was like everything was stuck in the 50's, the music, the style of clothes, and even the technology reeked of 50's design except that it's advanced for it's time. You roam the capital wasteland killing mutants, doing quests, and mainly looking for your father. I spent 30 hours on it in a week and even then I wasn't bored of it and I can't wait to get back on, so hopefully on this long weekend i can sit down for another 20 hours. I'll give it all my attention.

Oh school, how I wish you would pull me back in...


So recently I haven't been doing too well in school and I really didn't know why until I came to this conclusion, theirs no incentive or anything there to pull me back in, the teachers aren't helping either and I don't feel like what I'm learning is going to help me later in life. I like school is just feels like the same old thing, like we're covering the same old stuff over and over and there really isn't an incentive for me to keep doing better. I could've moved on to college earlier and focused more on what I wanted to do, but I didn't because I didn't know what to do. And am I spelling didn't wrong? It keeps highlighting the word as misspelled, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. or is it? It's driving me nuts!!!

Gears of War 2


So Gears of War 2 just came out and having played through it I would say it's a really great sequel to one of the best shooters in the last few years. This shooter revolutionized the cover system. It's the game that all other games look up to, or copy, the cover system from, but you know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it's propelled other good games to being great. This is a great sequel, great graphics, probably the 2nd or 3rd greatest looking game out at the moment and surprisingly their are a few scenes that pull at your heart strings. So I'd give this game a 9.8 out of 10.

Barack Obomba!

So Barack won. Very exciting indeed. This has been the election I've followed the closest ever and I'm very excited at the possibility of change. Hopefully he can bring change to Washington. Barack is going to be our first internet president I believe so thats exciting too. I'll be watching closely.
