Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman (DVD)

Customer Rating

History of Superman.

This is what it is. A DVD about the long history of Superman. If you like the character or want to know more about him, check this out. If not, you're checking this out for the wrong reason.

Resident Evil: Degeneration [Blu-ray] [2008]

Like watching a video game?

on December 30, 2008

Posted by: Gorkous

I only recommend this, because my friends are fans of the games. This is one of those cases I'm not sure how to rate it. I couldn't get past the idea that I should be playing this instead of watching. I didn't have that problem with the live action movies, so I have to blame it on the CGI. The lipsyncing is pretty well done since this was originally in Japanese (if I remember right), but the acting still needed some work for some of the characters. The extras are cool though and pretty good for fans.

Wall-E [WS] [DVD] [2008]

Great movie

I have come to not doubt anything that PIxar puts out. Knowing there was very little conversation in this movie, I expected it to be boring and childish. Relying more on action scenes than any story. Although the story is simple, and there are plenty of action, there's humor and before the story really takes over, you end up caring about Wall E and his friend EVE.

More songs to play

Just like my other review of this game, if you don't need the guitar, you might as well save the money and get this. If not, get the guitar bundle. If you like this game genre, you'll like this game, but it would be nice to be able to make your own characters.

What's great about it: Great song variety, artists, etc

What's not so great: character customization would be nice

The Dark Knight [WS] [2 Discs] [Blu-ray] [2008]

Customer Rating

Almost perfect.

on December 11, 2008

Posted by: Gorkous

from mankato, MN

When a movie makes almost one billion worldwide, it has to be good and this movie exceeds that. Ledger stole the show and his performance is so good, I forgot it was him and I was disappointed whenever he left the screen. The movie still has a few cheesy moments, but if felt a little misedited toward the end, but all in all, an amazing movie. There's a few extras on the Bluray that aren't on the DVD 2pack, but aside from that (and the obvious picture quality), they're the same so go with what you prefer.

What's great about it: The Joker, Two Face, Batman, Alfred, Joker again.

What's not so great: No commentary or deleted scenes.

A game like none other

from mankato, MN

This is one of those rare games I'll actually keep after beating. You play through it, collecting items which teaches you how objects interact and gives you items to make your own levels with. You can share your levels online and can even earn newly created items from player created levels! This game has a lot of replay value. If you ever dreamed of making your own games, this could be the easiest way to make that dream come true.

What's great about it: Everything

What's not so great: there's a definate learning curve to making your own levels

Superman: Doomsday [DVD] [2007]

Not bad. Now where's the live action version?

on December 3, 2008

from mankato, MN

This movie is best if you're able to mentally seperate it from the animated series, which is someone difficult since the style is the same. They've changed the look of a number of the characters, but the art style should've been different to help seperate the difference.

Batman: Gotham Knight [WS] [Special Edition] [2 Discs] [DVD] [2008]

Customer Rating

Just a rental

on December 3, 2008

Posted by: Gorkous

from mankato, MN

This movie was way over hyped as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. While there are some of the same characters and it helps to establish Batman as Gotham's hero, it really doesn't have much of any direct ties to the movies. As much as I love Kevin Conroy's Batman from the animated series, I also thought he was miscast in this movie. The different art style and universe it's set in just feel like they should've gone with someone else.

What's great about it: gives a little connection between Begins and Dark Knight

What's not so great: There's very little connection

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Transformers [Blu-ray] [2007]

Customer Rating

High Def huge freakin' robots

on December 3, 2008

Posted by: Gorkous

from mankato, MN

I had my doubts about Bay's vision of the Transformers, but this movie had me excited for the sequel. Although there is some very odd things said by the robots, like, "I AM MEGATRON!" (seriously, how many people go around saying "I AM JOHN SMITH!") all in all, this movie is awesome. The humans in the film are great and to see the robots in action is fantastic. That said, I'm a huge fan of the extras and if you are too, you'll want to get this Blu Ray. It's got a load more stuff than even the special edition of the DVDs.

Plot? What plot? it's stand up comedy! That aside, this was my introduction to Jeff Dunham and should be yours too. Peanut and Walter are instant favorites and be sure to watch the extras, they're hilarious and show you how Jeff thinks on his feet.

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.

PlayStation 3

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

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.
