Creepy cool

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.

Great end for the series... if it is.

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.

Get this version.

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.

Worth a rental

I didn't even bother with the DVD extras, so I don't know what's there, but the movie didn't really impress me. With two such high caliber actors, I expected more, but the plot was thin and I saw the ending from a mile away.

Yes, it can happen your first time...

I really liked this movie, but I liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall more. It's done by the same guys, even has a number of the same people, but seemed more plausible, either that or my life is just that weird. It's got a nice ending and is really funny, but I think few people would've stepped up as much as Ben Stone did and changed his whole life.

American movie with a dash of asian asthetic
on January 9, 2009
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
I wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't. The plot was very thin, the action and cinematography was more eastern world stylized (sorry, but I'm not a fan) and the quasi-love story, though didn't feel out of place, did seem to have no point either. In summary, there's much better (Nic Cage) movies you can see.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than the other Mummy movies
on January 7, 2009
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
If it wasn't for The Dark Knight, this movie would've done a lot better in the box office. Unfortunately, because of timing, it got buried and forgotten rather quickly, which is a shame. I actually enjoyed this movie more than the second one and a whole lot more than the Scorpion King. Although the kid of the O'Connells grew up too quick, (without the parents really aging at all), it's a really enjoyable movie with some fun tongue-in-cheek moments.

Ending on an average note

If you're a fan of the series, this movie might be worth checking out, otherwise you probably won't bother. The acting is what I expect from the cast, otherwise I would've rated it lower and the extras are pretty good. There wasn't much of a mystery to it, which is the whole point of the franchise, but it is good to visit Mulder and Scully again.

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

What's great about it: Story, varity, dialogue, everything
What's not so great: Exclusives go to the 360.

Will the PS3 Slim 120GB work in countries which have 240v electricity?
Acctually i am from Pakistan and i will buy it from here and play over there so will it work there or do i have to buy a converter for it if i have to so please link me the name of it.
not only will you have to buy a converter so the electricity isn't a problem, but you'll have to buy an AC adapter so you can even plug it into the wall.

total new to the modern era gaming
I am from the old time 80s with the single arcade games. I want to get a system for my kids. From what I read, seems like the PS3 with the BlueRay is a no brainer. What am I missing? And what else do I need to get so they can play right away.
Thanks
Thanks
The system you want depends on your kids ages and interests. The Wii tends to aim to the younger crowd, and the 360 gears more towards the sports fans and online players. For my money though, I love the PS3.
The system comes with only one controller, so you might want to get more depending on how many kids you have. Also, games are important and I would recommend Ratchet and Clank for platformer/action, Orange Box or Bio Shock (depending on age) for a first person shooter, LittleBigPlanet if they're creative, or Lego Star Wars: The complete saga if they're fans of legos, star wars or just a fun simple game.

External Hard drive for PS3??
My boyfriend hinted several months ago that he would like a hard drive for his PS3. But Im not a gamer or electronic freak like him (haha) so I have no idea what Im looking for. Any suggestions?
If I remember right, you can use pretty much any external hard drive with a USB port. Ask a Best Buy employee or game store employee to be sure though.

best multi co-op games for ps3?
My husband and I enjoy gaming together, but haven't found many good games since Project Eden. Are there co-op games for the PS3 to play at home, not online?
A lot, just depends on what you're interested in. Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Guitar Hero/Rock Band, any of the Lego games, Simpsons, Rayman: Raving Rabbids... there's tons. Just depends what you like.

Do I need two wheels to race with Mario Kart?
you don't even need one wheel. All you need is a Wii remote and hold it sideways. The wheel is just a plastic attachment to give you a more driving like feel.

Can you buy a single fit board to use with White
At this time, I believe you have to get wii fit in order to get the board. I'm sure some company will come out with it eventually, but not yet.
