Let me say one thing for sure, this is the best FPS to ever hit gaming. This masterpiece is being compared to all FPS's being released before March 2010, (late review). Killzone 2 just has those assets in every way. Visuals are unmatched to almost everygame with a few exceptions. The detail is incredible and even shocking, because many games these days are looking so great, but very very rare to see one as detailed as Killzone 2. I really can't describe how great Killzone 2 is because it is just so amazing how Guerilla Games nailed the visuals, great gameplay, online etc. The online in Killzone 2 will in fact be up there with some of the best Online games around. Warzone, which is basically the online in Killzone 2 which is a compilation of many game modes is an amazing idea that was excecuted so well , and everytime the game switches to a new mode (BodyCount (Team Deathmatch), Capture and Hold, etc.) is so seemless as if you had never knew it had changed. Unique gameplay such as being able to literally attach yourself to walls or pillars is great because it makes combat have a new depth to it, as well as making it more fun and interesting to see exactly where you can shoot your enemies by focusing your weapon in a certain area. The campaign is around 10 hours to complete and the story is actually very solid, and very, very fun to play through. You could even say the campaign itself is incredible. Just a true mastepiece, great job Guerilla Games. By the way, weapons are fantastic.

Overall, if you're looking for a great FPS to keep things fresh, this is your game. I honestly don't think it is as good as previous FPS's that were released earlier this year or past years like Killzone 2 or Resistance 2, but it is still a definite buy. Truly, a definitive multiplayer experience at its core, as well as a great effort by Infinity Ward to nail down their new Spec-Ops modes which are just incredible and some pretty exhilarating missions as well. The graphics are flat out great, for the most part. The gameplay is the same as other COD games, so no changes there. Weapons are satisfying to fire, and use. Online modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination, etc. are also pretty strong. If there was actually a real complaint about Modern Warfare 2, it would definitely be the campaign mode. Don't get me wrong, it has some great cinematic moments and can be fun at times, but it just feels off, as does the story itself.

Resistance; Fall of Man is a must have PS3 shooter. The graphics are great and detailed to mix in perfectly with the story, and the gunplay and having the option to play alongside your family and friends make for one extremely fun PS3 exclusive. Some shooters now a days aren't so fresh or feel like you've played them a lot before, but this is not one of those, I am happy to say. Resistance: Fall of Man feels fresh and new, what you would want in great shooter. The controls are very easy to grasp and you don't have to be a pro to learn everything about the gameplay. Here is my overview on this game:
Graphics: 9/10
Gameplay: 9.2/10
Fun: 9.3/10
Overall: 9.2/10
What's great about it: Extremely fun, cool weapons, story, must have shooter
What's not so great: none

This product saved my life! I looked everywhere and a lot of methods of removing scratches from DVD's, and this was something that finally worked! The process with use of this product is only about 1 minute. My disc hadn't worked about the last 20 times I had put it in my PS2, and I put the disc in again, after use with this scratch removal product, and up to this day it is still working. Highly Recommend, worked for me.
What's great about it: Fixed my scratched PS2 game

I actually think this game is ok, but I thought that it was more on the average side of things. The venues are ok, the graphics are great, and the songs are good. Would I recommend buying it? In my opinion, it's right in the middle, so I would suggest renting it first.
What's great about it: Just ok, graphics are great
What's not so great: Expected it to be better, venues aren't too great

This movie is known all over American and known as an awesome movie and is overated for no good reason. The movie is just ok, but nothing special. The only great thing about the movie is Heath Ledger, the acting is good, the plot is good, and the action is good, but it just isn't the big great movie you would expect. Overall an ok movie, expected it to be better.
What's great about it: Ok movie, good extras, acting
What's not so great: Not Great, way overated

I have to say that this is the best Ratchet and Clank game yet. When Tools of Destruction came out, it became a sensation for all ps3 goers. Now A Crack In Time delivers, believe it or not, more than Tools Of Destruction. What A Crack In Time really focuses on is the story, which is so epic, you just can't stop, you want to know what happens next. Anyway, the visuals are even better and brighter(and i'm not just saying that) than tools of Destruction. The New weapons are awesome and the gameplay never gets boring. There are new and improved weapons, and even tons of customizable things for each weapon. Overall a tremendous sensation of a game. An easy 9/10
What's great about it: Visuals, epic, extremely fun, difficulty modes
What's not so great: none

I have to say that this is by far, and I really mean by far the best movie I have ever seen. I finished watching the movie and I thought it was by far better than anything I had ever seen before and I hadn't read many reviews for the movie yet, so the next day I went onto my computer and read the reviews and thought to myself" How can some people not like this movie!" Because there were many reviews of people loving this movie, but at the same time not liking it. The only reason some people dont like about this movie is because of the acting and or plot. Those 2 things did not affect me one bit.I thought the action was so exhilarating that while I was watching the movie my heart was beating as fast as when I run a mile. The acting and plot to me were fine, and did not seem bad in my opinion. Shia Labouf and Megan Fox were great. There is non-stop truly stunning and exciting battle sequences throughout the flm that will especially please poeple out there that want maxed-out action in a movie. The blu-ray extras were good because you can practically see how they put the movie all together, and history about the transformers. There are so many new transformers in this film which really help it flow because of all the desruction. I think that this film definitely surpassed the first one with its undeniably fun and exhilarating action. I know that most sequels do not surpass the first film at all, but I thought this film truly delivered. I love it so much that(counting the theatres) I have seen this movie 6 times. Even though it runs two and a half hours it's so great with everything put together it just simply rocks!!
What's great about it: In my opinon, best movie, good acting, blu-ray rocks
What's not so great: none
