Just ok

There should be a law that if you intend to relaunch a franchise less than five years after the last attempt, every negative must be destroyed if it winds up being worse. From start to finish, this was a total mess of a film that seemed more interested in finding room for not-so-subtle cameos and wink-nudge-grins than telling a complete story. Knocking out the whole origin chapter during the opening credits may have freed up the rest of the picture to explore new territory, but it also killed the basis of the cast's relationships and removed any reason for the audience to care about them. Ed Norton and Liv Tyler turn in genuinely rotten performances, with a black hole of chemistry as an on-screen duo, that are neither true to the original characters nor interesting in the slightest. Bruce never came off as remotely intelligent, let alone the super genius he'd have to be to come up with the formula that turned him into the Hulk. He actually spends more time running from grossly generic government operatives than using his brain, which kills the intriguing contrast between he and the Hulk that's supposed to fuel the story. They're both mindlessly running, just in opposite directions. Corny dialog, predictable twists and turns, weak CG, flat characterization and sleepwalking actors. This blew up in Marvel's face.

Very Funny!

This movie is incredibly hilarious and had a great storyline with great actors! That baby was adorable. Doug is going to be married in two days, so his friends Phil, Stu, and Alan take him to Vegas for his bachelor party. The next day, they wake up and can't remember anything about the night before, find a baby, and can't find Doug. They get into crazy misadventures trying to figure out what happened, arrested by the police, figure out who the baby belongs to, and try to find their friend before the wedding. I highly recommend THE HANGOVER!!!

This game, as countless others have stated, is the perfect culmination of every Halo game made. It has the great gameplay, story, visuals, audio (really amazing stuff), and that overall sheen of awesome that every great game has. I love how they add the viceral feel back as the guns in Halo 3, while awesome, just didn't kick enough. I know it makes sense as the MC is a Spartan with the strength of a tank, and in reality there wouldn't be any recoil. But, I loved the kick the weapons in Halo 2 gave and I'm glad to see it back. The explosions are the best they've ever been, with dirt flying all over from a grenade explosion, replete with the ringing in your ears if your were too close. I love the *OOMF!!* sound they make. Really feels like a punch to the gut on a nice surround sound system. The bigger explosions have way more sparks and flares as the particle engine is much more powerful now. Also, the Covenant dropships sound a lot louder and scarier this time. Everything seems so much more immersive this time, with fewer jaggies than Halo 3 and a more epic soundtrack.

Let me start off by saying that I'm not a die hard hitman fan , this is the first hitman Ive played. So now to the review ill make it short and sweet. This game is amazing and i recommend it highly to anyone who can wait 5+ minutes to get a perfect silent kill. I have played all hitmans competitors such as assassins creed and splinter cell but hitman takes the cake because it rewards you for patience and gives you tons of ways to pull off the kill of you dreams. So far the only thing i dislike is that the checkpoint system is kinda annoying due to lack of checkpoints. The graphics are the best of the 30+ games Ive played in 2012 and the game play is unconscionably fun. A few words of warning though if your looking for a 3rd person shooter than this isn't your game this is a stealth action game, im not saying don't buy it but DONT expect to go out guns blazing cause you'll get smoked.

SynopsisFor Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out. Featuring cutting-edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time and Shootdodge effects, full integration of Natural Motion's Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games. In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. Max Payne 3 multiplayer brings the same cinematic feel, fluid gunplay and sense of movement of the single-player game into the realm of online multiplayer. Using the fiction and signature gameplay elements of the Max Payne universe, Max Payne 3 features a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism, all delivered with the same epic visual style of the single-player game.

RockStar Does it Again!

I would like to note that I have only made it to chapter 3 in single player; with that said, this will not be a full review. However, I would like to share my initial thoughts thus far. That being- I am having an absolute blast. The gameplay so far is tight, brutal, and well refined. They make great use of the bullet time and I by no means feel over powered (playing on hard with free aim). Well, no more over powered then you would expect from a John Woo style shooter. If I get shot twice, which happens a lot, I am going down. Max Payne 3 is a breath of fresh air so far in a market of mostly standard FPS fare. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy FPS's, but this is a very welcome change up. Story wise everyone should know the deal by now. But, the way it is presented is what I love. I feel like I am playing Man on Fire. I must admit that the overlapping editing can get annoying at first. By act two I didn't even notice it. Actually, I thought it lent itself to Max's addictions and it gives MP3 a unique visual flare not found in other games. I can see it being a turn off to some, but I enjoy it. Rockstar created my favorite game of all time which is Red Dead Redemption and GTAIV not trailing far behind. While I don't see this being my favorite Rockstar game, I absolutely see it being another great addition to my Rockstar collection and worthy of the critical praise it has been receiving. But, you be the judge and try it yourself. Rockstar seems to have made a name for itself for building products that are technologically sharp, well told, and polished- MP3 so far does not negate those foundations.

The American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution. Assassin's Creed III takes you back to the American Revolutionary War, but not the one you've read about in history books.

Good Assassin's Creed!

After playing every single one in order, I was excited for a new character.
Graphics: 4/5 The scenery is amazing but during cinemas and overlooks of cities it lacks in choppy washed out frame rates.
Story: 4.5/5 The new characters with the era are really nice but it skips somethings that I am left wondering although I havent beaten it yet. There are hilarious and heart wrenching moment in this game which I love.
Length: 5/5: After the shortness of the other ones I was contemplating buying this but I've spent about 14 hours just in single player and I'm 20% done with the main missions! There are many side missions and collectibles to spend time on.
Overall: 4.5/5 My favorite used to be AC 2 but AC 3 blew it out of the water. Recommended.
