Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. Though Princess Giselle is currently engaged to be married to the handsome Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for the worse when the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) banishes her to the unforgiving metropolis of New York City. As the cruelty of the big city soon begins to wear down the fairy-tale exterior of the once-carefree princess, the frightened Giselle soon finds herself falling for a friendly but flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) whose kind compassion helps her to survive in this strange and dangerous new world.

This is a very good movie. I went to the theaters to watch it and then later got the dvd for this movie. Very interesting merge with cartoon and real live people. It reminded me about an old classic, snow white. Her singing was wonderful and there was many hysterical moments. It is a film for you and your kids alike. Highly recommend this movie.

This is a very good game with okay graphics. The story makes it a good game to play. The mix between disney characters and final fantasy characters make this game something different and new at the same time. The real time battle system is excellent. The disney maps are just what you would expect. The game plays for a good amount of time and if you enjoy final fantasy games this is a good game choice for you. Though the weapons for the main character seems laughable and the item array seems limited, it is fairly enough to make this an enjoyable game. At times the game might be too easy but if you try to unlock all the secret and beat all the secret bosses, it adds to the challenge of the game. The cutscenes are enjoyable. If you are looking for a game with a good story, why not give this a try.
What's great about it: something new with disney mixed with finalfantasy

This is a very good prequel to one of the most touching stories in the final fantasy universe, final fantasy 7. It has amazing high quality graphics and realistic animation. All the characters are remodeled and they look superb. The battle system is also very interesting. They merge action pack combos with the real time system. When you walk into battle, the transition from one scene to the other is excellent. However, the game is too easy and short. I truely recommend this game as a collection to final fantasy fans. This game interms of gameplay wise is truely remarkable and good for all psp players.
What's great about it: Very good graphics for psp and gameplay
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

This is a very good game with many characters to choose from. The control are easy and supports the old gamecube game controller. The adventure mode of the game, known as subspace emissary is a great feature of the game. It lets upto two play cooperatively complete a story mode through mass stages. Its a mode where you and your friend try to reach the end of the level and solve puzzles by beating up endless enemies on the way. The fighting system is also really easy for new players to get and similar to the N64 and gamecube smash brothers game. The brawl mode is similar to all its predecessors where you have upto four players/cpu battle it out in trying to eliminate your opponent by knocking them off the screen. A new addition to the game is the online play. I didn't get a chance to play the online edition of the game hence i can't give you feedback on it but I really recommend this game.
What's great about it: Good array of characters and many replay value.

The game has very good graphics but a little bit shaky at times. The frame rate at the title screen seems to struggle a little bit but does not affect the game play all that much. The game is very long. If you don't want to sit there for hours just trying to beat the game, then this might not be the game for you. The game get to be very intense as the level progresses. It might be very frustrating to reach the end of the game with over 19 chapters. Do not expect to breeze through the first few chapters as well. If you are not familiar with the blocking mechanics, this game might prove to be impossible even on the first few levels. The game has lots to offer with realistic combos and not the repetitive play that you would expect in these kinds of games. The newly added Rachel character adds a little bit fun to the game. However, her moves are slow and her chapters are limited. Thank god she is not all that fun to begin with anyways. If you need a challenge and are into these types of games, this game is the right game for you.
What's great about it: Good graphics, nice gameplay and story
