Fantastic Album
on June 19, 2008
Posted by: AcesWild

This album was great. As a Coldplay enthusiast, I own all of their albums and know that they change their style each time they release soemthing new. The style in this album is remarkably different from anything they, or anyone, has done before. The band has a rythm section in this album that simply drives the songs deeper into its melodic trance that it sets on you. The instrumentals are fantastic. I simply put a con up there just to have a con, but i really dont think this album really needs vocals. The instrumentation by itself is enough to mesmerize its listeners. If you enjoyed the two publicity songs (Viva La Vida & Violet Hill) then you'll love the rest of them. My personal favorite is track three on the album - Lost!
Many people say that the album is short, but spanning 45 minutes is the average length of CD's if not more than what some bands release. The reason people think it's short is because they get 'Lost' in the music!
What's great about it: Melodic - Tempo/Rythm - Vocals
What's not so great: Not much vocal
I would recommend this to a friend!

PIXAR meets Playstation 3
on June 19, 2008
Posted by: AcesWild
from Wisconsin
This is possibly the most graphically sharp game out on the market right now. Like PIXAR detailing every hair on a small, fuzzy rat, Insomniac puts every detail into the hair of a slightly larger, more yellowish, rat... lombax. Like the precedeing games, this one has humor put in around every corner. Not many shooter games really allow you to relax while playing, but this game seems to provide that. There are the usual bad guys who show up, the dunce that is Quark, and, as usual, a clank that has a new modification. People say that this game is too easy, and, well... it really sort of is, but that doesnt take away at all from the amount of fun this game is. I can see myself playing it over and over again, which is what I did.
The lack of online doesn't affect the greatness of this game. I would imagine that the worlds these guys created for single player took them long enough. 2 thumbs up to this game.
What's great about it: Graphics - Gameplay - Characters - Fluidity
What's not so great: No Online available

"One of the best flims I have ever seen in a war environment. In a tight city full of people who want to shoot them, this film really adds that extra sense of 'being there' with them. It also does a really good job of adding a sense of real time to the film. By watching it, you get how long it has been since the Black Hawk went Down."
What's great about it: Graphics - Immersive - Stunning
What's not so great: Con for this film? Ha!

"I dont usually pick on games for inadequacy, but this one was just astounding to me. I like racing games. I play Gran Turismo, Burnout, Nascar (sometimes) and Need for Speed. Motorstorm just seemed like an arcade game to me. I can picture myself walking into a gameroom and depositing a quarter for about five minutes of fun, but I couldn't imagine myself playing this for an extended period of time. There just doesnt seem to be much of an objective at all to this game. The dirt looked good though, I'll give it that."
"The only pro I can think of is that this is probably one of the only games that doesnt make you drive on cement roads. Woohoo..."
What's great about it: Off Road
What's not so great: ... A lot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Most Immersive in the Market
on June 19, 2008

"The best game I have possibly ever played. The story is well thought out and very immersive. This is not a run and shoot game, the AI are smart and will shoot back, AND they will hit you. You can customize your weapons depending on your ranking and unlocks when online. Though the customization is nice, it is really basic compared to the full customization capabilities offered in Army of Two and Rainbow 6 Las Vegas 2. The story is short, but thats just for the people who play on recruit/normal and just run and gun. When I start out a new game, I go all out. When playing on Veteran, the enemies can drop you in probably three shots if they can get them landed. If you actually want to experience the story as it is intended, play on the most difficult setting and challenge yourself. Nothing is much fun if it is too easy to beat."
What's great about it: Graphics - Online - Customization
What's not so great: Short Story for Some
