So last night I watched The Incredible Hulk, a movie that I was not really looking forward to watching. I mean, I figured that since I had seen the Eric Bana version (you always relate the superhero movie by the actors playing the lead role) and thouroughly enjoyed it, why watch what I felt was Marvel’s bleek attempt at salvation?
So I did what any red blooded American does when they don’t want to drop $10.50 to watch a movie in the theaters, something else. But alas, I was surprised… I really enjoyed The Incredible Hulk! In fact, I was so thrilled with the movie, that I wanted to write about the contrasts of the roles shared between the two movies, but first, the story… Read the rest of this entry »

The Metal Gear franchise was AMAZING. I use the term “was” in the event that should mark Metal Gear Solid 4 as the final of the series.
How can you keep such a hit going? Easy, Online Play.
And in a world where console online shooters are run by Halo and Call of Duty, it shouldn’t be too hard to achieve such a goal. However, there’s just one issue, Metal Gear does not translate well for online play.
Granted, it’s fun and interesting to be in the middle of a Deathmatch while having to hunt down gamers playing a Snake, but the game modes aren’t enough to save Metal Gear Online.
The control scheme for Metal Gear Solid (2, 3 and 4) are amazing, and fit perfect for the single player espionage/action game. However, throw those meticulous controls into the hectic online frey and you’re left with gamers fumbling their thumbs and missing their shots in attempts to “BOOM HEAD SHOT” and grapple an opponent via CQC (Close Quarters Combat).
As console games go, developers love to release new stuff thanks to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. This will hopefully allow Konami to add a couple of new features to the game to keep it fresh and prevent the daunting controls from completely ruining the game.

Everybody lies!
Thanks to Super Bowl XLII, I’ve been interested to Dr. Gregory House.
The cold, sarcastic Vicodin addicted diagnostician - whom is also quite brilliant.
The characters are quite likeable and the humor is just fantastic. It’s very rare for me to get hooked on a TV show. Lost, Battlestar Galactica and The Office are literally the 3 that I can watch over and over. Oh ya, and FireFly.
And now enter Greg House. I’m just about to finish Season 3, and I believe Season 4 is on replay on TV, so I’ll start recording that so I can get all caught up!
