Iron Man (9.7/10)

May 9, 2008

Ok, first of all, please excuse my spelling.  It is hard for me to spell correctly seeing as my head exploded form the sheer awesomeness of this movie!  (Have I already used that joke before?…sounds familiar…)

From start to finish, this movie will keep you at the edge of your seat.  It is so awesome.  This story tells of how Tony Stark, a billionaire weapons inventor, goes from living at the top, to being a slave forced to build weapons for a terrorist organization known as the “Ten Rings.”  In his capture, he was badly hurt and is only being kept alive by a machine attached to his chest.  Tony is able to escape by building a robotic suit that gives him tons of power.  Realizing how much pain and suffering his weapons have caused, he decides to build another, more powerful suit to destroy his weapons that are being used to harm innocent people.

There is a lot more to the movie than what I can describe without giving away too much.  So, I’m gonna just put it this way: SEE THIS MOVIE!!!  Try to see it while it is still in theaters, so you can get the best experience out of it.  (it is well worth the overpriced tickets, trust me)

Oh, and stay after the credits, there is an extra scene that you will love.  (Particularly, if you are a comic geek like me)

Just see it!!!  It is awesome.  Bottom line.

Chaos War

May 7, 2008

Ok, I have started an RP. Here is an introduction from my character, Erik Balder:

A letter from Erik Balder:

It has been about 8 months since the virus hit, but it has already taken its toll. Millions have already died and there are plenty more on the way. There are riots in the streets. Sure, most governments declared marshal law after the initial outbreak, but it did no good. There is no government, there is only anarchy.

I knew we could perfect it. I knew we could create the perfect soldier. My partner, Dr. Zalmon, had different plans however. He stole the still incomplete formula and unleashed it on an unsuspecting world. It spread like wildfire and now … the entire world is engulfed.

However, the virus, aptly named chaos virus, does not kill all of its victims. On the contrary, only 85% of those who catch it die, the others are given extraordinary power. The lust of power is what created the virus after all. It was initially a formula designed to give soldiers incredible strength and agility on the battlefield.

Amazingly enough, Dr. Zalmon is praised as a hero by many. He has followers, and lots of them. He claims that he has a higher purpose: To purge the world of all weakness. To “purify” humanity. He claims he is doing the world a service.

However, he is not the only one with followers. There are many of us who realize that he has done nothing but cause pain and suffering. We must find a cure…there is only one problem we don’t have the resources to support such research. We have a few hidden labs, but they are being destroyed by Dr. Zalmon’s followers. The only thing to do is to fight. We must take the resources if we wish to ever save the human race and we must destroy Dr. Whitehead so that we may live freely.

We must redeem humanity.

This is a war…Which side are you on?

Do you RP?

May 6, 2008

Ok, so I have been thinking about starting a online RP.  (role play if you don’t know)  I would like to know if anyone would be interested in joining?  Do you have any experience in online RPs?  Would you like to learn?  And do you have any ideas for a story?

I think this could be a fun idea.

Oh, and here is a vid of a messenger RP called, Friends List of the Ring.  (it is funny)

Sonic Mega Collection (8.5/10)

May 5, 2008

Sonic Mega Collection is, as the title suggests, a collection of Sonic games. But Mega? Not so much…In fact, the game’s #1 flaw was that it did not have near as many titles as I would have liked, but the titles it did have rocked my world.

This game can really be summed up in one word: Nostalgia.  And there was a lot of it!  While playing this game, I was constantly being flooded with memories of my childhood.  I, like many of you, grew up on sonic and seeing those old games brought back many memories.

However, Nostalgia is not the only selling point.  There were plenty of extras to be enjoyed.  There were three sections of bonus features: Videos, Illustrations, and Comics. Although, they were great, they seemed incomplete.  There is only 1 full comic and nowhere near as many videos as I would have liked.  Also, I was shocked that there were unlockable games and not features.  I would have expected this to be the other way around.

Also, I wish they had added saving system to some of the games.  I don’t have the time (or skill) to play through Sonic 2 without stopping!!!

Since this is a collection of games, I feel I should give each one a brief review:  (Using a letter scale rather than my normal number one)

  • Sonic the Hedgehog (A) - The one that started it all.  Pure, Classic, Fun
  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (A+) - My favorite game growing up.  This is one of the best in the series…you can be tails…AND HE CAN FLY!
    Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (A) - Awesome…that is all I need to say
  • Sonic & Knuckles (A+) - HAS A SAVE FEATURE!!! WOOT!!!…oh, and knuckles is there…
  • Sonic 3D Blast (C) -Brought back good memories…and a headache!  (hard to play because of its odd perspective and crappy control)
  • Sonic Spinball (B) - My first videogame ever…even then I thought it was a silly idea…but oh, so fun!
    Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine (A) - Wow…I was suprised how good (and addictive) this title turned out to be.

(Unlockable Games)

  • Blue Sphere (D) - This is just the bonus game from Sonic and Knuckles…really only good for practice and headaches
  • Knuckles in Sonic 2 (A) - See Sonic2 … but add knuckles
  • Sonic 3 & Knuckles (B) - See Sonic3 …. but add knuckles
  • Flicky (A) - Wow…I expected this to be really bad.  (I only played it so I could make fun of it) but then I got addicted…this game is about the little blue bird in the sonic series…and it is so fun!
  • Ristar (A+) - Ok, this one has nothing to do with Sonic, but I don’t care.  Ristar is a masterpiece.  You play as this star who grabs things basically…it is kinda hard to describe…but so much fun

Yeah, so overall this game is fun.  It has some flaws and feels like it comes up short.  (If you have an X-Box or a Playstation 2, get the Sonic Mega Collection Plus, it has more games!)  But overall, I would recommend it to any Gamecube owner who was raised (or is being raised) on Sonic.

SONIC ROCKS!!!
