Great DVD Set
on January 28, 2009
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
The Sopranos is one of the greatest shows in television history. The story follows Tony Soprano has he deals with his everyday life well he is the head of the New Jersey crime family. He has ups in down in that life and in his own personal life.
This DVD set is the best that I have ever seen. The DVD's for every season come in a large nice binded book. Each disc is in it own individual pouch. One page will tell you what each episode is in that season then the next page will have the season set of dvd's. In the back there is a discripiton of each episode kind of like a glossery. The set also comes with the music from the series and a few extras DVD's. This is a must have for anyone who loved the show or is a fan of Gangster movies.
What's great about it: One of the Greatest shows on tv ever
What's not so great: nothing

DC is what got me to come back to the MK Series
on January 21, 2009
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
First off this is a pretty fun game. There is the old arcade style of past MK games and then there is the Story Mode. You can chose either the DC or MK sides. You basically fight about 5 fights with each character on that side of the story till the end.
The gore factor is turned way down and DC Heros do not do fatailities, they do Heroic Brutatilties.
The controls are kind of a pain. I have not really played a Mortal Kombat game since MK3. I do not really like the sticks because it is hard to do some of the fluid moves like back back B.
Check this game out if you enjoy fighting games.
What's great about it: DC Characters
What's not so great: Using the analog sticks to play

The Best of the 4
on January 8, 2009
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
This is a great game to end a great series. Solid Snake is one of the coolest and most iconic characters in video game history. This game raps up a lot of story lines that the first three started. There were still a few lingering questions but that is what makes the story great. It makes you feel like there could be another one. There still is stealth in this game but it is not the only way to beat the game. You could go in and do all of the things that you wanted to do with Snake from the beginning like shooting everything up. You also see some returning characters and some you would never think you would see again. Check this game out if you are a fan of Metal Gear. If not check it out and then go out and play the old games too. This is a game every video game fanboy should play.
What's great about it: Story, graphics
What's not so great: Lots of Cut scenes, Snake being old

The third outing of Fox's real-time drama series 24 once again follows the adventures of Kiefer Sutherland's rough-and-tumble Agent Jack Bauer of the U.S. government's Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU). Many familiar faces are along for the ride, including Jack's daughter, Kim (Elisha Cuthbert), fellow CTU agents Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and Michelle Dessler-Almeida (Reiko Aylesworth), and President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), while a number of new characters have been introduced. Among the newcomers are Chase Edmunds (James Badge Dale), a young CTU agent who has been dating Kim without Jack's knowledge, and Wayne Palmer (D.B. Woodside), the president's brother and new Chief of Staff. The story this time around centers on a deadly biological weapon that a terrorist is threatening to release in Los Angeles. The mission to thwart the attack first takes Jack to Mexico where he'd been working undercover with a drug cartel and acquired an addiction to heroin. As the episodes continue, Jack attempts to trace the virus to the man behind the plot, and more than a few characters meet their demise. The fate of the Palmer administration hangs in the balance.

Eighteen months after Day 1's foiled assassination plot, Day 2 finds Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) officially stepping into the role of America's protector as he attempts to stop terrorists from setting off a bomb in Los Angeles. During his hunt for the nuclear device, Jack becomes romantically involved with Kate Warner (Sarah Wynter), who suspects her sister's fiancé is working with Middle Eastern terrorists. Behind-the-scenes political intrigue centers on David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert), now president of the United States after surviving Day 1's assassination attempts. While Palmer supports Jack and CTU's efforts to track down the nuclear device, Vice President Jim Prescott (Alan Dale) and Palmer's own Cabinet question the president's decision-making ability and seek to undermine his authority at every turn. Meanwhile, Jack's daughter, Kim (Elisha Cuthbert), who was rescued from kidnappers in the first season, turns the tables during Day 2. This time, it's Kim who does the kidnapping---or, as she sees it, rescuing---of a child she's been babysitting in order to protect the girl from an abusive father. Later in the day, guest star Kevin Dillon appears as survivalist Lonnie McRae, who takes Kim hostage after convincing her that the nuclear bomb has already been detonated in L.A. Familiar faces returning to action include CTU agents Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth), whose relationship begins to develop romantically under the day's stress; CTU director George Mason (Xander Berkeley), who is exposed to radiation during a fierce gun battle; and First Lady Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Jerald), who reveals a dark side in her manipulations of the president for political gain.

Turning Superhero movies in to just great movies
on January 7, 2009
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
The Dark Knight is a great movie. There is a reason this movie is now number two on the all time gross list. The Joker and Two-Face are some of the greatest villians in comic book history. Everyone had heard how Heath Ledger did a wonderful Joker and they are all right. When I first heard he was doing it I had my questions but now I know that I was so wrong. Great movie pick it up. Bale is still great as Batman/ Bruce Wayne. Nolan is a great director and I can not wait to see what they have in store for the next one if any of the rumors are true.
What's great about it: The Joker
What's not so great: Really no extras unless you buy the two disc special

Not COD 4 But Still a great game
on December 3, 2008
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
This game is pretty simmilar to Call of Duty 4 except that it is set during WWII. It seems some people are turned off by this and do not know why a developer would go back to an old formula after a title was just named Game of the Year. A game takes a few years to be developed so this title was made before Activison knew that COD 4 would be a hit. There is a multiplayer campain in this game which is new for the series. The ranking system is simmilar to that of COD 4. You stil get specials for getting numbers of kills in row. The one that is most changed is the 7 kills gets you a dog attack now which is pretty cool. Check this game out if you like shooters or the Call of Duty series. Maybe the next one will be set in modern times.
What's great about it: Mutiplayer campain mode, dog attact
What's not so great: WWII but that is ok with this game

Worth the Hype!!!!
on November 10, 2008
Posted by: MIKEoftheDEAD24
from Naperville, IL
Gears of War 2 is one of those few games where the experience is worth the hype. This game does what every game sequal should do be greater then the first.
The Graphics are fabulous. The visuals during key moments are spectacular but I will not give those away. You will have to see them for yourself. One of the coolest new visuals is when you are shooting your Lancer the tip of the gun will start to glow red from getting hot.
The story is much improved from the first. You really get to understand the characters that you have grown to love. The war is so much larger in this game and you feel it. You are still with the same group of guys from the first. You seem to be the best squad out there. There are some great moments in the game that you will want to go back and play again.
Multiplayer has seen the biggest improvement. In Gears 1 it seemed that multiplayer was an after thought but it was still one of the best multiplayer out there. In Gears 2 they have upgraded in every aspect. It is now much easier to get into games with your friends. There are more game types and new maps to play on. As a bonus when you buy the game there is a code for a free classic maps download that has some of the maps from the first game but with revamped graphics. These are maps like Mansion, Canals, and Gridlock to name a few. Some multiplayer types are Warzone (just like the first game with 5 vs 5 deathmatches), Submission (Meat flag or capture the flag with the flag being a person the computer playes that fights back), Wingman (2vs2vs2vs2vs2 mode where you battle it out for the most kills as a team) and Horde mode.
Horde mode is the best multiplayer experience ever. You play with up to 5 player and you battle the Locust Horde in waves. The enemies get harder and harder as you go on. Every 10 waves the Horde gets stronger and has better weapons. I have gotten up to level 39 so far and it takes 3 boomshots to kill one guy.
For weapons all of the ones from the first are back plus a new burst pistol, flame-thrower, mortar, and mini-gun.
Gears 2 is a definate pickup for any Xbox 360 owner and shooter fan.
What's great about it: Horde mode, Story Line, Familiar controls
What's not so great: Some glitches that can be fixed with update

why does Xbox live cost so much and why doesn't Playstation live cost nothing

Xbox Live Silver packs are free. This gets you online and allows for updates on games. Xbox Live Gold packs are what cost money. You are granted access to alot of really great features. The most notable one is a friends list. You will have a list of the people that you like to play with and can see what they are playing or if they are on so you can get into the same games. You also have access to videos that are like little shows that help you with achievements, show upcoming games, etc. They also have downloads for game demos, previews and many other great features. Have seen both and the money is really worth it if you go online alot.

xbox live / xbox pro

Is the xbox live the same thing as the xbox pro?
Hi J's mom. Xbox Live and Pro are not the same thing. Xbox Live is the internet service that Xbox provides. There are two types of accounts for Xbox Live, Gold and Silver. Silver is free to anyone who wants to go online but it is very limited. Gold has to be paid for. You can get different plans depending on what you want to get and this gives you access to alot of features. The main one is a friends list where you can chat with friends online and play games with them. You can also access downloadable content for games and download older games (all do cost though).
Xbox Pro is just a counsel. There are a few different ones. The Xbox pro is the most popular and comes with everything that you would need to start playing right out of the box. There is a Xbox arcade but that does not come with a harddrive so it is hard to save games or even get online and use Xbox Live. There also is an elite that comes with a hard drive with more space and an HDMI hookup for TV's that support that.
Hopefully I answered your question.
