Sadly, according to Rotten Tomatoes, the answer may be NO. At the time of this posting, the movie holds a 15% Rotten rating. The critics are saying that the story is implausible and preposterous. Who do they think they are, the Mythbusters? Implausible, bah!
I hope that Law Abiding Citizen turns out good because after the crap-fest that was Gamer, my faith in Gerry Butler is kinda shaky. On a side note, this movie kinda has a light Saw flavor, don’t you agree? Could Butler’s character be the next Jigsaw? Now that I would pay to see!
After about two hours of playtime with the game, I can honestly say that Brutal Legend is damn good. ROCKIN’!!!! Double Fine and Tim get extra props for the art style & graphics. The game looks amazing and best of all, it is fun(and funny).
Expect a more in-depth review soon…if I can manage to pry myself away from this magnificent game.
*This is a quickie review, as I have to get back to playing my other games*
Operation Flashpoint 2….’NUFF SAID. I’m regretting my purchase of this so called Military Sim. The main fault of this game is the oh so dumb as bricks, mother-effing, lame-ass AI teammates. Another flaw, that is less controller-breaking but still effing annoying, is that the enemies can sometimes withstand an inhuman amount of damage before dying while you take one freaking shot and keel over. All is not lost, as the graphics are quite decent and the military hardware is accurately portrayed. I love them guns…lulz.
On a final note, why does the squad leader talk like if he’s spaced out? He is getting shot at by a dozen angry Chinese soldiers and yet you can’t hear the tension/anxiety in his voice. He spells out every order painstakingly slow, almost machine-like. I guess he took some tranquilizers.
I would say avoid this game. The AI is almost broken to the point where teammates actively refuse to carry out your orders and without them backing you up, it is very difficult to enjoy the game. It becomes a chore.
Those are tears for joy my friends! Cryengine 3 is ready to go. I can’t wait to see games using this engine, it will be ridiculous. I’m also ready for a change since Unreal engine games are everywhere… I want to see this new stuff in action. Maybe this will mark the end of shitty ports thanks to its automatic conversion for the consoles but we can only hope. Anyways, here I leave you with the video which says all the things that the new engine can do. Get your napkins because you will drool all over your keyboard.
That right!!! Today Brutal Legend melts the faces of all the pansies that listen to wussy rock and other worthless music genres. With an axe in one hand and an electric guitar in the other, Eddie Riggs marches onto this land of Heavy Metal to put forth the best freaking concert in history! Rock on my brothers and BUY this game or else Tim Schafer will make Ormagöden eat your head.

Well, I’m writing this to inform you guys that I’ll soon be posting reviews for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising, Brutal Legend and Batman Arkham Asylum. If you’re wondering, yes, I used the Toys R’ Us Buy Two Get OneFree offer and got those three games. I’m going to be busy playing them and doing university stuff but I’ll still post other stuff daily. Don’t FRET!!!
I had to put this trailer up because it’s simply amazing. The fight choreography is well done. The graphics and animations are almost lifelike but still maintain the element of fantasy. The trailer’s objective is to build up anticipation for the forthcoming game Dragon Age: Origins and it wonderfully fulfills this goal. Watch and tell me if I’m right.
I chose Rambo for the sole reason that he can rip your freaking throat out with his hands. ‘Nuff said. Well that and the fact that he can accurately fire an M60 machine gun with one hand while walking and yelling. Oh and did I mention that he can chop your head off with a machete? Why yes he can! If Rambo gets hurt, do you think he uses a first aid kit? PLEASE, he whips out a burning piece of wood and cauterizes the wound to stop the bleeding. Effing hardcore!!!
Bam, you're dead!

My shittiness meter is going off!!!!! Beware of impending crap discharge! This movie looks truly foul, it is an abomination and quite possibly the Spawn of Satan. You can determine whether a film is going to be bad from the movie’s trailers and that is exactly what happened here. Now, this film may be directed towards the younger crowd and the Twilight(UGH!! foul…blerghhh) type of cinema-goers but you can really see that this isn’t going to end up well. The movie features cheesy/bad CGI effects and some notable actors like Willem Dafoe, Ken Watanabe, Ray Stevenson and John C. Reilly. Bad combination.
I may be completely wrong by labeling this as a POS (Piece of S…), who knows, it may be decent. NOT. My friends, I don’t even know why I’m writing about this movie. It’s a waste of Internet space.
As a friend of mine said: “I feel bad for John C. Reilly“.
According to a Yahoo! news article, the M4 Carbines, that most US soldiers use, are failing during battles in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is extremely dangerous when in a volatile situation as every soldier’s life depends on his weapon. If the main firearm quits firing, a soldier must resort to his sidearm if he can’t find a replacement weapon nearby. A pistol doesn’t have the range, power or ammunition capacity of an assault rifle, so this puts him at a disadvantage. I wouldn’t want to be stuck with an unreliable weapon during an insurgent ambush, specially when outnumbered.
So to the government I say: give them some shiny, new, decent weapons like the SCAR Assault Rifle. Don’t leave them with shitty guns. The M16 and M4 have done their job but it’s time to replace them. We want our troops in tip-top shape. Hoorah!!!!!!
The future workhorse of the US Military, the SCAR
Remember in Far Cry 2, when the weapons would jam and get rusty after a while or even worse, they would sometimes explode! I hope that isn’t happening to our troops in the Middle East. Check out this vid showing Far Cry 2’s weapon deterioration.
Sadly, according to Rotten Tomatoes, the answer may be NO. At the time of this posting, the movie holds a 15% Rotten rating. The critics are saying that the story is implausible and preposterous. Who do they think they are, the Mythbusters? Implausible, bah!
