![X-Men Origins: Wolverine [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)

Overall, this movie was pretty good. I am actually excited to see the other Origins movies when they come out. I was a little disappointed that all of the mutant action scenes pretty much happen in the last quarter of the movie. This in the only thing I do not like about the X-Men series. It seems there are too many characters plotted, so not enough time can be spent on them. The same is true even with this film. There are a lot of characters, when the movie should have focused solely on Wolverine. Aside from that, the action is fantastic and the ending of the movie was pretty cool. I recommend this movie, but do not feel it is worth an additional $20 for the special edition with the Woloverine bust. If you have a Blu-ray player, I highly recommend this.
What's great about it: A movie based solely on Wolverine's past
What's not so great: Too many mutants in the movie (for an Origins movie)

Chevelle fails to disappoint again with their newest CD "Sci-Fi Crimes". Chevelle has an awesome sound and you can listen to each of their CDs from beginning to end, without getting bored or skipping songs. If you have never heard any of Chevelle's music, I highly recommend this CD. Their other releases are also very solid. "Vena Sera" is one of my favorite CDs.
What's great about it: Chevelle is an awesome band!

In the '60s, they took the music world by storm. Now they're about to do the same for the world of music video games. Get ready to live out the meteoric rise of a band of legendary musicians as you take on the role of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr and experience the music of the Beatles in an entirely new way.The Beatles: Rock Band immerses you fully in the music and artistry of the Beatles. Show off your skills on guitar, bass, drums or vocals as you jam your way through hits that span the length of the Beatles' impressive career, performing at venues ranging from the Cavern Club to the roof at Savile Row. Combine up to three microphones to perform Beatles-style three-part harmony with your friends on enduring hits like I Want to Hold Your Hand, Day Tripper, Back in the U.S.S.R. and Here Comes the Sun. From their early days just breaking onto the world scene to their final artistic triumphs, you'll be at the center of the action, experiencing all the excitement and musical power that went into the making of a truly legendary band, and even gaining insights into the Beatles' experience beyond the limelight.

I am glad to see another game that can be added to the Rock Band collection. This game highlights some of the greatest hits from one of the world's best known bands. This is a fun game for gamers of all ages. If you have never experienced the Beatles music, but enjoy the Rock Band series, this could be your gateway to some of the best songs of the last century. The Beatles definitely helped pave the way for rock music and it is such an enjoyment to revisit the roots of rock n' roll.
What's great about it: Rock Band is so much fun!

![Killswitch Engage [2009] [Special Edition] [CD & DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9359/9359366_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Jago
Killswitch Engage bring us back into their world of heavy/melodic lyrcis, pounding bass from the rhythm section and the combination of in your face metal gutiar, with melodic undertones. This album is much better than "As Daylight Dies". This album is highly recommended for KSE fans, both new and old.
What's great about it: New music by KSE!!
What's not so great: N/A

I am defintely anticipating the release of the newest Tom Morello side project. The first single has been playing on the radio and fans of Rage Against The Machine will not be disappointed. If you love the sound that RATM has made famous, this is definitely an album you need to pick up. Tom Morello and Boots Riley have created a musical masterpiece with this album. I look forward to its release tomorrow.
What's great about it: Solid rhythms, strong lyrics, Tom Morello's signature unique guitar playing
What's not so great: It's not out yet....one more day to go.

I have really grown to enjoy the music Lacuna Coil puts out. The dual lead singers provide a unique blend of tones. The songs are pretty solid on this album. Karma Code is still my favorite album, but this one is worth checking out as well.
What's great about it: Good sound and songs
What's not so great: Not Karma Code

I played the demo for this game and it seems as if there is finally a Batman game worth playing. The controls are awesome and very user friendly. The graphics are really good. Being that I only played the demo, hopefully the full game is more in depth. If every level is like the one I played, it could get old pretty quickly. I am definitely going to rent this one before picking it up.
What's great about it: Graphics, controls
What's not so great: ???

What's not to like....MK and DC in one game
on December 30, 2008
Posted by: Jago
If you are a fan of the MK series, this is definitely one to check out. The game play is fun when playing with another player. I beat the game on my first attempt, playing solo, so the game is not too long or difficult. I picked this up at Best Buy online, during a recent sale for $37.99. I would wait until the price comes down again before picking it up. It is a fun game, but not worth $59.99. It is however a good game to add to the collection, especially if you are a fan of the series.
What's great about it: Finally, a Mortal kombat game for PS3
What's not so great: Not very challenging, number of characters

Continents erupt in flames and hails of gunfire as war breaks out on an unprecedented scale. This is World War II, where a massive conflict rages on two fronts: Europe and the South Pacific. Answer your nation's call and travel to distant lands where you'll take part in devastating battles that gripped a generation and laid the foundation for the world as we know it today. Do you have the courage, the cunning and the commitment to fulfill your duties and see the war through to its harrowing end?Prepare for global conflict presented in all its terrible grit and immediacy. In Call of Duty: World at War, you assume the role of a U.S. Marine or a Russian soldier in the waning days of the Second World War. Travel to the far reaches of the conflict, from war-plagued Berlin to the dense jungles of the Pacific theater, as you confront enemies who refuse to contemplate surrender or retreat and who fight all the more desperately ~ and more dangerously ~ knowing the end is near. Employ the weapons at your disposal, including a flamethrower and other new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, and fight to complete your mission as battles explode around you with all the terrible chaos of real war.

This is by far one of the best games I have ever played. I used to be a big fan of the Medal of Honor series, but the new games seem so repetitive. So I decided to pick up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. That game left me wanting more. I picked up World at War as soon as it came out. This game is fantastic and best of all, unlike Medal of Honor, the Call of Duty series are 2 player games. If you are a fan of war games or looking to pick one up, I highly recommend this game. If you like it, also check out Modern Warfare. You will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Another smash hit in the series
What's not so great: Leaves you thirsting for more

"Better" is the best song on the album and probably the only one worth giving a listen to. Not worth the 15 year wait for a new GN'R album. You can really see the loss of creative juices without Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum. The music sounds like a mish mosh of exactly what it is....a mix of sounds from a dozen musicians pasted together over the last 15 years. Some of the guitar riffs try to replicate the playing style of Slash, but do him no justice. I really hope this is Axl's last attempt at keeping GN'R an active band. Harcore fans will enjoy a couple of the songs. Should new fans check it out....hmmmm, not so much!
What's great about it: Nice attempt by a classic rocker!
What's not so great: Not the GN'R you remember
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

do ps2 controllers work on ps3?
No, but I notice that when playing some PS2 games on the PS3, I have to attach the controller to the PS3 by using the controller's charging cable. For some reason the wireless aspect does not work. One game I can think of, in particular, is "God of War".
