If you like GTA and Sly Cooper (this is like a combination of the two) or wanted to play a FUN superhero game, this is the one for you. There is so much fun stuff to do and the only complaint I can give is that sometimes you want to just land on the ground, but the auto grip attaches you to a building or ledge. Other than that, it's fantastic.

This is a great game, but has to step up in the face of games like Fallout 3. Like that game, the controls take a little getting use to, and although become easy to use, I still found myself pushing the wrong button from time to time until the end. The use of a vehicle was nice, but there needs to be an easier way to figure out where you need to go when on foot and the inventory system needs to be tweaked. There were also a few times my character would get stuck in the scenery. But all in all, an enjoyable game.

There' s a reason this movie was going to be straight to DVD, because it's terrible. The story was poor, the dialogue was worse, and the only redeeming value was the makeup for Jigsaw looked cool. Aside from that, its a mindless curse and slaughter film. I expect something like that from a Nightmare on Elm St or Friday the 13th movie, but even the last Jason movie had a better story than this. There is a reason it's rated R, so unless your child is in their teens, you shouldn't watch it with them.

For the most part, I don't care for this movie, but it does have a number of funny, tongue-in-cheek moments. What really makes it passable for me is the appearance by Tom Cruise, acting in a way that I swore I would never see him in a movie.

When I heard this game was made by the same guys as Oblivion, it already had one strike against it. I couldn't stand that game. But onthe constant urging of a friend, I tried this game and I'm glad I did. It takes a little to get into, and yes, it's controls take a little getting used to because there's so many options, but once that's out of the way, it becomes second nature and you become addicted.
I would get the 360 version over the PS3 because of the extra downloadable content that's exclusve to the 360.

Although the plot has been played out, the angle of chimps being the astronauts and doing the heroic deeds, makes this movie passable and at times fun. If you have kids, they'll love this. If they don't get something by Pixar.
What's great about it: MONKEYS!

Such a simple concept made into a good freaky movie. The un-nerving special effects of the ghosts are what make this a good movie and yet another enjoyable japanese homage film.

The is a perfect end to the franchise, if they would end it on this film. It tied up all loose ends from previous films. The acting was a bit blocky, but in this series, that's nothing new. there were no extras aside from trailers, but mine was a rental so that might be different if you buy it. All in all, I would buy this film.

The game touches on all the same elements of the game, but it isn't as enjoyable. It's a pretty decent movie, but there are many better out there. I also felt the main two actresses should've switched roles. Wahlburg made a decent Payne though.
What's great about it: There actually ISN'T any supernatural stuff in it
What's not so great: The game is better

Return to Liberty City and the cruel streets in this second take of Grand Theft Auto IV. Customizable cars let you design Niko Bellic's ride as he travels the city in search of his fortune and an escape from his past. Intricate maps and the hottest music available on the stereo make Grand Theft Auto IV a wild adventure.

I'd actually give the PS3 version 4.5 stars and the 360 verison a full 5 because the 360 version is getting exclusive downloadable content. Aside from that, the two games are virtually identical. It's a little slow to begin with, but just like a movie, it really pays off as it goes. It just gets better the more you play it. This is one game you shouldn't pass up. The only improvement is that something should be done to make driving to a required destination a little easier. Trying to drive, and see where you're going at the same time can get difficult if cops are chasing you or if you're being timed.

How can I buy the AC/DC Live rock band pack? It doesn't seem to be available on the PS Store.
Go to an actual, brick and mortor store and pick it up. It's that simple.

Does the Wii play DVD's?
Sadly, no. Kinda pointless though since most everyone at this point has a DVD player or a different system that will play them.

what is the difference between rockband and guitarhero which is better
Rock Band has multiple instuments (two guitars, drums, and a microphone) and has songs that have been programed to make use of all those instruments. With Guitar Hero, you use just that. A guitar and only a guitar. The songs weren't created with the other instruments in mind, but with Rock Band, you don't have to use all the instuments if you don't want to or don't have the people there at the moment.
