GTA: Overdone...
on October 17, 2007
Posted by: Volearix
from Zionsville, IN
I was a fan of the previously released GTA's, but I really can't get into this one much. It doesn't have the same in depth feel as the others. I have more fun just going on killing sprees than advancing in the game. You are just thrown into a poorly created story that doesn't develop throughout the game. You drive, you kill, you drive some more and then you get arrested. That sums it up.
Not really any worth-while improvements on the game. There is the ability to date, "tag" buildings and amp up your body, but these are just pointless features that add no real value to the game. The most shocking thing about it was the sub-par radio selection, this was just unacceptable from a GTA game! I was pretty disappointed with this new release, I wouldn't recommend it to GTA fans.

What's great about it: Long Game, Variety of Weapons and Vehicles, Great Graphics for size of map
What's not so great: Underdeveloped story, Disappointing Music Selection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

VII
on October 17, 2007
Posted by: Volearix
from Zionsville, IN
Definitely one of the toppers on my list of movies to see and own. One of the best animated movies of all time in my opinion; with the quality of graphics, there are times you'll forget that it is in fact animated!
I am a huge fan of Final Fantasy and the fact that it doesn't go off FFVII's actual story isn't that big of a deal to me. The creators made an equally interesting feature that I really enjoyed watching. If you aren't a Final Fantasy fanatic, you can also purchase just the movie by itself without all the collectables.

![Braveheart [DVD] [1995]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3979/3979662_sa.jpg)
Mel Gibson's Academy award-winning epic Braveheart comes to DVD in a fairly basic presentation that includes a widescreen, anamorphic transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Surround Audio, and a commentary by Gibson. A "making of" featurette and two theatrical trailers complete this adequate disc. With any luck, a deluxe version of the DVD will be released in the not too distant future; Braveheart deserves better.

Awesome Movie
on October 17, 2007
Posted by: Volearix
from Zionsville, IN
A great film, but not for the faint of heart, or stomach. Very violent at times, but as far as I'm concerned a must see film for any fan of medieval war movies. One of my personal top-ten movie choices. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the historical inaccuracies. The movie itself was magnificent.
What's great about it: Great Acting, In depth Story, Awesome Battle Scenes
What's not so great: Very Violen As to live up to the name of the previously released "Crafts", Wt, Strays from True story of William Wallace

Berth II?

This album starts off with a bang, "Take it Away" is an amazing song that has everything you need to get pumped up for the rest of the cd! They continue on with, "I Caught Fire" (one of my personal favorites) and "Let it Bleed". They keep the music coming with a stream of upbeat fun-to-listen to songs, but then take a chill pill and slow things down with "Yesterday's Feelings" only to jump right back into things with "Light With a Sharpened Edge" and "Sound Effects and Overdramatics". Though this cd doesn't seem to be as consistant as their first, but a great one non-the-less.

Bumtastic!!!

This is a great cd. As with every The Used cd, it has a well balanced mix of laid back (using the term lightly) and heavy, hard-core tunes. A couple of my favorites include "Maybe Memories", "Taste of Ink" and "Buried Myself Alive". They also show off their classical style hard-core talent with "Greener with the Scenery". Great cd, definately worth a listen for fans of the heavier music crowd.

"Rainbow Six: Las Vegas" is one of the first games in a long time that I have actually sat down long enough to play. I enjoyed playing the campaign mode and all, but the real magic of this game, would be the Terrorist Hunt mode and the online play.
Terrorist Hunt mode is a unique campaign that allows you to go through previously explored areas and take on a huge number of enemy terrorist. This mode is always fun, whether you play alone, or with a friend. The enemies are actually fairly intelligent, too. Though their AI eventually get predictable, they are more than fun to play against.
I will also say that if you have XBox Live, you will never get sick of this game! It seems like there is no end to the amount of rank you can earn. Tons of fun! This game keeps me up all night!!!

Not really a CD for Incubus fans...
on September 24, 2007
Posted by: Volearix
from Indianapolis, IN
I have been following Incubus since they "Attacked" back in the day, and I have to say that I am for the first time, not impressed with one of their Cds...
They serve up a couple of hits with "Megalomaniac" and "Sick Sad Little World", but this is not an album that I would recommend to a friend; at least not a friend that liked Incubus' original style. Unless you are like me and just have to have the Cd because Incubus has their name plastered on it, I wouldn't recommend spending your money on it.
Though I just completely bad mouthed their cd, I will say that "Agoraphobia" and "Here in My Room" are great songs.

One of the Best Cruising CDs of all TIME!!! '05

Posted by: Volearix
from Indianapolis, IN
This is definately Incubus' best CD yet! I can listen to this album any time of any day! Me and my friends are always looking for great music to cruise around to, and we definately found it with "Morning View".
In this Cd, Incubus finally found their distinctive sound. From the first song to the last, you'll realize that the amazing first half of the album isn't "Just a Phase". Most bands put all their good songs at the beginning of their release; Incubus made sure that every song on the CD was a worthy of those first three song slots! Get this Cd and you won't be disappointed!

Finch... Reduced to Teeth...
on September 19, 2007
Posted by: Volearix
from Broad Ripple, IN
After purchasing their previously released, 'What it is to Burn', I didn't hesitate a second on buying this CD. However, I almost now wish that I had. I can't really say anything bad about this CD but they tweeked their style a little more than I would have liked. They seem to have went from an emotion-driven punk rock style of music to being a more hard-core softmetal band. If you loved the style of the old cd, I would recommend staying as far away from this cd as possible; if you didn't like it, then you might take a listen and see if you'd like to 'Say Hello to Sunshine'. >.<

I Love this CD!!!

There is really no way to explain how awesome this cd is! You JUST HAVE TO BUY IT! I love every song on this CD, with the exception of "Project Mayhem" that is, I Don't know what they were thinking with that excuse for a song. Finch has such talent for incorporating killer emotion into their music. They can make you feel with the simplest song. On top of their knack for emotion, they seem fairly incapable of creating a non-catchy song! I would highly recommend getting this CD if you are looking for a great new band to listen to.

how to hook up my pc to play files on my media player through the reciever?
go to any store that sells component to 1/8 inch or 1/32 inch (whatever your computer sound hookup uses). In other words a red/white to 1/8 inch hookup.
-
Take the red/white part and hook it into any slot of your receiver (doesn't matter if it is labeled as DVD/VCR/CD/V-AUX, they'll all work), then hook the other end into your PC. When the corosponding channel is selected on your receiver, and the music is selected on your PC, the audio should be routed through your surround sound system.
