Bio: My Xbox Gamertag is Matej II. Add me iff you want to play Gears 2, Peggle, Puzzle Quest, Halo 2.

-
Truly epic storyline. However, I can't get enough of the excelent multiplayer modes, especially Annex.
-
Sooooo simple, yet really, really good. I keep having epic sessions where I have a few balls left to take care of a seemingly impossible number of orange pegs. Needless to say, the victories are VERY satisfying.
-
I gotta get EVERY upgrade!
-
Finally won something! 400 MS points and a copy of Portal: Still Alive. But I beat it as part of the Orange Box, and am currently trying to sell it. Any takers?
-
Started Playing it again. Trying to get all the achievements. Got 42 out of 48. It'll take another 2 playthroughs to get them all.

It seems that there are lot of gamers who love the original Assassin's Creed and a lot who hate it. I happen to be someone who really enjoyed every aspect of the game. I liked the immersion, the time period, the story, the dialogue, the voice acting and sound design, the graphics, the animations, the realism, the scope, the action, the weapons, and the attention to detail. The only aspects I understand the detractors are making concern the mission repetitiveness and Altair’s voice. I think those issues have been fixed in the sequel and from the looks of it, they have. I'm very excited about this game.

I have yet to pick up this acclaimed game, although I seem to be the only one who hasn't. I like shooters; I love zombies; Logic says I'll adore L4D. Without a gold subscription there just didn't seem too be too much of a point, but now that I'm golden I don't have an excuse anymore... except I have to catch up on my other gaming.
Now I just gotta decide... Do I go with the original or wait for the sequel?
-
Played the demo and its a lot of fun. All the reviews seem to agree. Finally, a game stepping up to honor the Batman name (instead of ridicule it.) I'll get it when I catch up on my other gaming.
-
Played the demo and it's Effin Hillarious. Just the story/dialogue alone is worth the admission price.
-
Cause I really liked Fallout 3, and this looks a lot like Fallout 3, only more playful, cell shaded, and co-op capable.
-
Looks fun. I like some RPGs. It's getting good reviews.
-
All the positive reviews can't be wrong, can they? I never "got into" Mass Effect, which may have been because I only played it for a couple of hours. I tried looking for another copy at Game Stop and the chapest one went for $25. They can eat $#!7.
-
-
Finest FPS I've ever played. You can keep your Half-Live, Call of Duty, and even the Halo sequels. No matter how many times I beat it on legendary, it never stops being fun.
-
After playing RE2 and not being able to "get into" the game because the static camera was just too much of a distraction. I swore off RE games forever. Or so I thought. RE4 came out and got so much positive buzz that I just had to check it out. What I got was one of the most thrilling, chilling and enjoyable experiences ever crafted in entertainment. The astounding level of detail that went into every setpiece never ceases to amaze me, neither does the unwavering level of creepiness. A masterpiece.
-
This new and improved version offers even more badass guys, guts, and guns. It's got all of the awesomeness that the original GOW had, plus bigger guns, meatshields, truly epic scale/story, huge number of executions, sweet new multiplayer modes, including... HORDE!!!! As an action title I cannot imagine a better game. Absolutely impeccable execution, with an emphasis on "execution."
-
So beautiful, so haunting, so meticulous, so involving. Do you remember when you first played Tetris and how you could see falling blocks even when you close you're eyes? Well, I see myself running through Rapture long after I finished the game. I guess I really apreciate detail and Rapture is the most realized world I've ever been part of (aside from this one.)
-
Blazing trails as the definitive Burnout version. This is the game where you didn't mind losing, because the crashes were so incredibly spectacular. Nothing can allevieate the mundane-ness of a day at the office or built up road rage as well as the Road Rage mode in Burnout, because nothing feels as right and teaching a lesson to those that have wronged you.
-
No game crushed my soul harder when I sucked at it, and no game made me feel like more of a badass when I effectively and efficiently dispached a group of Black Spider Clan ninjas without taking a single hit. This game has become a sort of a rite of passage for gamers, wanting to test just how good at their passion they really are. But instead of being frustrating, I enjoy this game more and more with each replay, because there are no "cheap" enemies with ad-infinum health, who could kill you with one hit. The beauty of this game is that if you're good enough, nobody will be able to take you down.
-
I think I have fallen in love. 80 hours in and I still haven't seen all this game has to offer. Aftre having played it for so long, I have started to dream Fallout. A true gem of this console generation.
-
-
My primary source of entertainment. Untill the next generation. When it's not crapping out on me.
-
My trusty old 'Cube has gotten me through some lonely times (aka my college years.) Or maybe it's been the cause of my lonely times. Oh well, my therapist can figure that out. Seldom have I had as much fun as playing Super Mario Sunshine, LOTR: ROTK, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, Twilight Princess and of course RESIDENT EVIL 4! This is a system I will keep on playing for a long time and don't plan on ever turning in, selling, or giving away. Especially not now that I've dicovered Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.

Worst Movies I've Ever Seen (Ever-expanding List)
|
-
One of the worst stories that I have ever seen in a movie. Megatron's coordinates imprinted onto glasses? Autobots scaning all of teh internets to find a jpeg of the aforementioned incredibly intricate coordinates? Giving the "cube" to Shia so that he can try to OUTRUN all of the decepticons? WHAT?! Aside from the FX, there is nothing noteworthy about this movie. Nobody's performance stood out. The actors seemed very bored, unenthusiastic and just went through the motions of it all. What do you get when you combine bad direction, writing, and acting? Five Sequels! Nicely done, America.
-
Oh Man. Not another "intelligent" machine movie.This movie was so incredibly bad, that I either tried to repress my memories of ever seeing this piece of crap, or it was so forgettable that only after a short while I completely forgot ever having seen this movie. I had litterally forgotten ever seeing this film. But reading something about it on the internet a couple of years after seeing it, my feelings of nausea and discomfort immediately returned. Please do not see this movie for whatever reason. If your friends or family suggest it, stand up to them and firmly state that you would rather watch something else, anything else. There is nothing redeemable about this movie. The acting is terrible, the characters and cliched and stereotyped, the storyline is utterly laughable, the visuals are passable. But the hook of the AI that becomes self-aware has been done so many times, with more excitement, heart, and skill that this movie really has nothing going for it, except maybe as a higher budget Ed Wood movie.
-
It failed on so many levels it's mind bottling. Let me count the ways:
1. As a Batman movie: Entirely unexciting. Why did Batman have nipples? Why was there so much color to a character and movie that are supposed to be so dark? Why did Batman go to social functions dressed as Batman!? I understand that "the one who shall not be named" wanted this iteration of Batman to be a throwback to the campiness of the '60s Batman show, but if audiences wanted that, they would be watching that show with glee today, instead of leaving it in the '60s, where it belongs. They want the Dark Knight, not the Caped Crusader.
2. As a Drama: Ohh, how convenient it is that so many characters in the movie just happen to have the same disease. Mix that with the subbtle acting of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin's incessant whininess, and you've got first-rate soap boloney, which sounds disgusting.
3. As a Comedy: Comedy is this movies best bet for success, but alas, all of its aforementioned campiness and attempts at puns with Mr. Freezes and Poison Ivys one-liners made me cringe more than they made me smile. When involved in combat Batmans opponents fall to ridiculously childish sound effects that will please nobody.
All in all, there is nothing redeemable about this movie. Although George Clooney does most closely resemble the Bruce Wayne from the comic books. I guess thats something in a movie this terrible.
-
Yes, it was a good movie, but so what? What is the point of shooting a movie verbatim? What was added? What was told differently? If the technicolor and the different actors are the only difference then why pay your hard earned movey to see it? I have never before seen this in my life! I feel like when the director was asked a question by the cast how they should go about a particular scene, the director just showed them that scene from the original Psycho and said "JUST LIKE THIS!" Why did this movie need a director anyway? Couldn't the cast and crew have gotten together with a copy of Psycho and just done the whole thing by themselves. It would have been the same movie it is now and as it was 40 years ago. Utterly worthless. Don't waste your money. Buy yourself lunch instead or see the original Psycho. Trust me, You won't miss much.

I admit it, I really liked the original MIB. The original was a surprise. Not too many people expected it to be as funny, smart, cool, or exiting as it was. Whereas everybody expected MIB II to be those things and it disappointed disastrously. I dont even remember what Lara Flynn Boyles characters motivations and intentions are. I just know it had some of the shittiest acting ever (e.g. Johnny Knoxville) and the worst special effects this side of the year 2000 (e.g Johnny Knoxvilles second head.) On top of that, Tommy Lee Jones didnt even look like he wanted to be in MIB II, from what I can tell from his performance. In the first one Will Smith was a rookie who was unsure about what he was doing and we were with him on this exciting journey, but in this one he is the best effing MIB agent in the world. I get it: he's arrogant. Maybe they shouldn't have picked a personality trait this negative to continually cram down our throats. The incredibly blatant product pacement didn't help matters much. IDK, maybe its just me. Maybe I was having a bad day when I saw it, but I really hate that movie. Oh yea, I just remembered that there was an alien dude with balls (testicles) on his face. Classy.

John Cleese on How To Irritate People
|
details
|
By Making this movie, that's how. Never has a movie been so appropriately named as "How to Irritate People." I usually like Monty Python humor, and all of the TV shows and movies those guys have made. I just don't understand what happened here. This movie features one sketch after another where one character is incredibly obnoxious, and all of the other characters bear his obnoxiousness. That's about it. And what's even worse, none of it is funny. It's just a bunch of annoying people, annoying people. Stay clear of this film for any reason other then doing research on Monty Python's worst work or your own masochistic tendencies.
-
Here's an interesting question: How would you tell the story of one of the worst events in American history onscreen, that honors both the original events and tells an engaging story? Why, by hiring the prettiest faces of the day, putting in a ridiculous love story, and having effin' Michael "Explosion 2000" Bay direct the whole asstrocious affair. If you were expecting Saving Private Ryan, you must have been sorely disappointed. It is literally the antithesis of Saving Private Ryan, the Yang, the Hootch, the antichrist. This movie is as if somebody went "Hey, How can we make Saving Private Ryan, but without all of the grittiness, heart, and realness?... Oh, and it has to appeal only to three-year-olds." Pearl Harbor is a pathetic excuse of a movie.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

details
|
Ahem - Lets try something different. My biggest gripes with this movie were the performances of Jake Llyod (Anakin), Natalie Portman, the presence of the Gungans (especially Jar-Jar and Boss Nass), the trade federation representatives (horrible asian stereotypes), and gearing of the movie towards toddlers. Oh, and the Atrocious dialogue. This is just a small sample of the lines of actual dialogue that was taken right from the IMDB website:
Jar-Jar Binks: Ooh mooey mooey I love you!
Qui-Gon Jinn: You almost got us killed! Are you brainless?
Jar-Jar Binks: I spake!
Qui-Gon Jinn: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here.
Obi-Wan: You were banished because you were clumsy?
Jar-Jar Binks: Mesa cause one, two-y little bitty axadentes, huh? Yud say boom de gasser, den crashin der bosses heyblibber, den banished.
Anakin: Are you an angel?
Queen Amidala: What?
Queen Amidala: You're a slave?
Anakin: I'm a person and my name is Anakin.
Shmi Skywalker: There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened.
(Yea right. Maybe she should have gone on Maury)
Qui-Gon Jinn: His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was concieved by the midi-chlorians.
Anakin: Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other.
Beed (Two headed Podrace anouncer): I don't care what universe you're from, that's got to hurt.
Boss Nass: Yousa no tinken yousa greater den da Gungans? Mesa like dis. Maybe wesa... bein' friends.
Did those lines make you shudder the same way they made me shudder? I realize the original Star Wars movies were for a younger audience as well, this movie was just stupid and unfunny in places it wanted to be funny. I have to admit the special effects were pretty decent, the Darth Maul fight was pretty good, and the orchestral score was amazing. But other than those aspects this movie is regrettably forgettable, because you can see the potential of what could have been.

This movie is part of a very select group of movies that infuriated me so much, I had to stop watching them. It's movies like this that make me realize how precious life is and how little time we have on this planet, because it literally made me comprehend that movies like this are an irredeemable waste of time. This movie, if it can even be called that, because I usually call it a "shit-sandwich", is such over-the-top-macho-cheesy trite, that it made me cringe when any single character spoke or did anything. And to top it off, everybody takes everything so frakking seriously. As if nobody in the movie realizes how ridiculous hey look and sound and act. Or maybe they're just trying to pretend that they are soooo much cooler than they appear. I can't understand where this movie found its audience and how the frakk they can keep coming out with sequels. Luckily I didn't pay to see this shit sandwich, and saw what I saw on TBS. If I had given it a chance in the theaters, I would have walked out and asked for my money back. I often hear people complain about how "Hollywood" doesn't produce quality work anymore. Maybe people should stop eating shit instead of complaining about how bad it tastes.

Good call. Thanks for the heads-up, man!
Hey dude, sorry if I gave off the impression that I was offended by your statement. I guess I jumped the gun a bit. I know that you're not personally biased towards women gamers since I've seen what you have to say around the site, but when I see a statement like that I guess I just feel the need to speak up as the only female staff writer... does that make any sense?
Anyway, we're cool!
Hey! Since when did you have this avatar? It rocks!
hey man, i'm your first friend!
thanks for being a dairy reader! glad you like dinosaurs as much as i do.
Hey! /wave
Worst Movies - hah! I need to put one of those up too, Batman & Robin, SW: Episode 1, and Scooby Doo would DEFINITELY be up there, lol.
Want to watch a REALLY BAD movie? Eye Of The Beholder (with Ewan McGregor & Ashley Judd). Horrific.
Look forward to one or two Video Reviews next week. Shh.
Yes RE4 is one of the greatest. And I have to tell you: Feeding a turtle/tortoise fruit is something I want to do. Honestly.
Bah! You caught that! After we recorded I realized how it sounded, but we decided against redoing them, and hoped no one would catch my accent, which is due to me being an idiot, not a geographical location.
Glad to hear you like them, we'll be sure to keep them up! Going to be playing L4D Sunday?
No, sir. Thank YOU for the add!
Yo. Thanks for the friend request.
Love your "Worst Movies" list... Agree with all of them. I made it through about ten minutes of MIBII before I bailed. So that you even made it to the end is amazing to me.
I've got a recommendation for that list too: Wanted.
Thanks for the add! Ready for RE5?
