Comment on Mirror's Edge - Faith (2009-01-03 11:14:08)
@tiki god: I'm not convinced you actually played the demo... or were lucid when you did. The logic, is that Faith, the Runner in the game, probably weighs 90 lbs. Would you stand off with a swat officer knowing you have 0 weight to back up your blows? All that aside, there is a fairly involved combat engine, and several moves you can use to either knock out or disarm an opponent. It ain't a brawler game, but thats exactly the point. The character is a runner. By trade and title, so...? she runs. Hell I'd run. People who hate this game, simply lack to coordination to play it well. I'm not sure what the fear we have about games with a difficult learning curve lately. Its challenging. Thats awesome. If you want to hate a game, point out flaws in the game mechanic, or the level design, but if you simply cant 'play' it, then give credit where its due. Yes, this game has some frustrating points, but man when you connect a series of moves without losing your momentum? There is nothing more gratifying.

Comment on New Star Trek Logo (2008-12-22 17:25:48)
@tiki god: Well Tiki, I've never seen Alias, but almost every Bad Robot product quickly hit my favorites list. Certainly, the trailer indicates that the film will be very different from the Star Trek we all know, which is probably the only way it could be a success. The old Star Trek formula isn't going to sell anymore. Lost is only a mess if you don't watch every episode in order. Its like falling asleep for a big chunk of a movie, of course it doesn't make sense when you wake up. If you want 'Casual' viewing, then i'm sure there is a Wayans Brothers sitcom playing at any given moment. I found Cloverfield immensely gratifying, but 'Fringe' is still on my 'action item' list.

Its either this or nothing at all. Star Trek was dead. This could be the last ditch effort at bringing the dead to life. The trailer is inspiring, and J.J. Abrahms is a visionary. I have high hopes.

@suicydking: I bought a second Xbox for the same reason. 4 dudes having an old school game session, and not having to split one screen 4 ways? Just epic.

Ha ha, Lol at "Fhut the Wuck"!
Comment on Halle Berry - Catwoman Premiere 01 (2008-12-22 13:11:08)
I couldn't even get through the Catwoman trailer, let alone the whole film.
Comment on Left 4 Dead (2008-12-22 13:09:16)
Outrageous fun, but I'm sure ready for a DLC campaign, or any new content at all. I've played through "Dead Air" about 30 times.
Comment on Majel Barrett Roddenberry, 'Nurse Chapel' Dead at 76 (2008-12-20 10:59:47)
@NoOneInParticular: You win my friend. @SumoSnipe: George Takei has appeared in Season 2 Heroes a bunch. I'm very excited about the new film.
Comment on brandon routh (2008-12-19 19:12:18)
@Avias: Christopher Reeves was better? How? Yes, The original movies were classics, But when you were 6 you were easier to please. Go rent Superman 3 and then the new Superman with Brandon Routh, watch them back to back, and I dare you to repeat that statement. Christopher Reeves was a great choice for the part 30 years ago, but how in hell can you possibly compare or correlate such differing creations with any absolution. Why does everyone feel they need to compare every incarnation with the next and so on? Is it not enough just to enjoy or hate things for their own qualities? Or have we decided to just roll around in a ball of preconception, never again viewing with unclouded eyes?
Comment on LOTR Brothers In Arms (2008-12-19 18:13:26)
@maxcw: Yes, there was about 5 minutes of extra content reflecting on the retaking of Osgiliath in the extended edition. Taking place in the reclaimed city of Osgiliath. Captain Faramir had lost the city to Orcish invasion from moria, having too few men to stage a proper defense. Denethor then gave a legion of soldiers to his favored son Borimir, who retook the city. This picture was during their celebration. Borimir left directly from Osgiliath to the meeting of Elrond in Rivendell.... Or something like that, I wasn't really paying attention.
Comment on sonic R (2008-12-19 18:04:13)
@flyingcat88: Yes, Sonic only the first few titles developed for Sonic were great, but that has little to do with its number of dimensions, and more to do with lack of talent in new technologies. Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy are incredible games. Hundreds of hours in outrageous run are available for the taking. Don't get stuck in the past.
Comment on The Force Unleashed (2008-12-13 13:21:19)
@camusapprentice: Well Bro, I was mostly defending Force Unleashed. I didn't wanna bring anyone else into the mix necessarily. My primary point, was that plot errors are common place within the different branches of the Star Wars Universe. Lucas saw to that himself by never really thinking ahead, and allowing almost any expanded creation to blur across his desk without a second glance. Disliking a game because it doesn't quite match is outrageous. The whole genre is plagued the same way. About the new trilogy, I'll admit I was able to take a few moments of pleasure, but as a whole, they weren't very good. I'm not saying this as a Star Wars fan, I'm saying this as a fan of "film". Lucas still has an eye for grand visual storytelling, but then he dumped any points he earned by writing dialog, and then directing that dialog. He rushed the principal photography because he dislikes working with actors, and as a whole, is not a good director. So actors that usually have quite a bit of talent, where thrown into a giant green room alone, and lucas would murmer direction from behind the sprue of giant monitors hundreds of yards away. The new trilogy would have benefited greatly from a 'real' director, and a professional screenplay writer to adapt the story for "big people". Keep Lucas involved as a consultant, producer, whatever. But god sakes, never let that man direct.... Force unleashed was far more interesting to watch, and you know why? Lucas left the work to talented people, and hid on the Ranch swimming in gold coins where he belongs. In fact, I've heard rumors they are adapting the story into a cg film. Such a thing would be grand... Lucas needs to be assassinated so his creations can live on without constant tampering. "Crystal Skull" was the last straw.
Comment on The Force Unleashed (2008-12-12 16:03:09)
@General X: Talk about a fucking Buzz Kill Bro, are you seriously hating on "Force Unleashed" because of plot consistency? Why not blame George Lucas and his outrageous failing ability to CARE about his creation or have any responsibility for continuity. He stamps his name on anything, ANYTHING that will make him money. I can say with confidence that Force Unleashed is one of the few Lucas products recently that doesn't suck. Trying to finesse opposing plot points in the cluttered star wars universe is a lost cause. If you are one of those people that just likes to complain, then go ahead, but don't blame one game for a phenomenon proliferated by the entire genre. Force Unleashed was just another chapter stapled on to the saga, and had way more redeeming value than the "New" trilogy. It is fast paced and implemented the force powers and saber combat smoother than any previous game. The acting and scripting were far better than whats been offered over the last 20 years in any medium. Its the first production that actually took the lid off force power, not limited by George's failing vision. Yoda said that the force and its power were limitless, that the only limits were within the mind of the user, so maybe you should heed his wisdom. Yes, it has plot errors, but don't they all? You can find Pages and pages of mistakes and consistency errors online from every addition. Take a page from your own book. If you are this cynical and stingy, then you shouldn't like ANY of the Star Wars creations. Take things as they are, and don't drown them with Over Nerdalizing. Its a video game dude, not a personal insult on your abundant intelligence and unparalleled attention to detail.
