Overall I think this movie was great, the race tracks are a lot more twisted then before but the suspense is still there. Out of all the Fast and the Furious movies this one would probably rank as the worst, but the others were great so this still leaves this movie as good. I would recommend going to see this movie, it is about 1 hour and 40 minutes in length but keeps the action happening. In this movie Sean, the main character, keeps getting involved in street racing so his mother sends him to live in Tokyo with his father where he starts drift racing. At first he is horrible but he makes some good friends and starts learning how to drift, real well. The series keeps to its lines by throwing in a very hot girl to cause problems for Sean. I don't want to spoil the whole movie but something I can't hold in is at the end of the movie Vin Diesel makes an appearance (back as a racer) and with his all american muscle car! The closer to the end you get the better and better the movie gets!

Mega Man Powered Up is a fun, polished remake. It has tons of unlockable content, full level editor and challenge mode add hours of game time to this game. The original 8-bit adventure had you fight six boss characters, such as Cutman, Gutsman, Iceman and Fireman, but the remake throws in an additional two: Oilman and Timeman. The game also includes an all-new Challenge mode. For every level and boss defeated, you unlock 10 challenges. There are 100 in all. As for the level editor, it takes a while getting used to. Once you get use to how it works, you'll find that it's robust and well designed. And just like the rest of the game, it looks overly cute, too. You can decide enemy, obstacle and platform placement, as well as a host of other Mega Man-level staples. It's rewarding creating your very own dream level, something made even better by the fact you can share the level online through the game's infrastructure mode. Also, the level editor includes a pretty decent tutorial to get you used to the way things work, from building a level to dumping it online. This game is a must have if you own a PSP. Great game.
I give Mega Man Powered Up for the PSP a...
5 out of 5.

New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS is Awesome. The music is fantastic, the visuals are beautiful, the controls and gameplay are spot-on, the level designs are masterful, and--one of the greatest aspects of the game--the CHALLENGE. That classic Mario Bros challenge is FINALLY back, something that was sorely absent from Super Princess Peach, and that many felt really hurt the game. Well, not to worry--starting at around World 3, especially if you are collecting all of the star coins, things in New Super Mario Bros start to feel like they have that old-school difficulty again. Thank you, Nintendo! If you own a Nintendo DS, get this game now. It can do nothing but put a giddy smile on your face. Coming across hammer brothers, koopa troopas, shooting fireballs, coins in the sky, hitting "down" at every pipe you come across, sliding down the flagpole.
You guys are really going to enjoy this one. I give New Super Mario Bros a 5/5.

Going to the theatre, I knew the movie wouldn't be true to the comics. Hell, most comic book movie (with the exception of Batman Begins) were nothing like the comics. I walked in not expecting a kick ass comic book story, but a fan action move. Boy, did I get it.
I've seen a lot of action movies, and a lot of superhero movies, and I can honestly say this ranks pretty high up. It blends most of the best X-Men characters, a good story, and some kickass action scenes into one suprisingly good movie.
For those who don't know the story, X-Men is a bunch of mutants who have come together under the guidance of Professor X. This particular movie (which strays from the comics, though including part of the Dark Pheonix saga) is about a "cure" of the mutant gene being created from a young mutant (known to the nerds as Leech) and the government trying to put it in all mutants. This causes an uproar with Magneto and he causes a brotherhood of mutants to stop it. I obviously won't spoil the movie, but I will say that a lot of characters die, but it is implied that they live. It's a little crazy.
I loved the movie, but I wouldn't recommend it to any hardcore X-Men fan as many might find it an insult. Any who wants to see a sweet action movie, or is a mild X-Men fan, this movie will kick ass. Anyone who's seen the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" will be pleasently suprised in the movie.
8.9/10

Wow. This has sure been a hectic E3. We learned so much from the Big Three (Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft). The final price for the PS3, gameplay videos of the Wii, and the long awaited Halo 3 trailer all made there debut to fantastic praise.
While many people were disappointed at the lack of announcements for some legendary series such as KOTOR, Twisted Metal, and Ninja Gaiden, many more were amazed by the complete awesomeness that was this years E3. Usually, the year after consoles are announced not only do we see games stuggling with the new hardware, but almost no news whatsoever.
This year's E3 broke the standard of E3s and has been the best E3 since 2001. Whether it be the teaser for the new Super Smash Bros. game, the 15 minutes Metal Gear Solid heaven, the Halo 3 trailer, or the Zelda: Twilight Princess Megat0n, everyone had something from E3 to cream there pants over.
The conferences this years were mild at best, with no real info coming out of them that we didn't know already(besides the PS3's price). What really made E3 great this year was the vast ammount of media steaming from the Big Three. So many new games, some many videos to watch.
While the PS3 debuting at $599 American suprised and angered a lot of people, its looking like next gen is really going to be good. Nintendo will have some great and new games with the Wiimote, the 360 is looking to be something other then a dumbed down PC with a controller, and the PS3 is looking to keep it's insane third party support. While many doubted this/next gen (it's all a perspective), after E3 it looks like we're going to have one hell of a fantastic generation of video games.
It seems as if the Big Three focused on making there premier games ( Metal Gear Solid-Sony, Halo-Microsoft, and Zelda-Nintendo) look as good as they possibly could. Whichever system you're going to buy, after seeing E3, you'll definetely be pleased.
If I had to bet money right now of who would win next gen, I'd put my money on Sony. They're taking a huge risk by pricing the PS3 so high and including the Blu-Ray, but having the PS3 succeed will mean that Sony will reap the benefits more then any console since the NES day. With Sony still having an extremely large and rabid fanbase, Blu-Ray being the most popular next medium format in Hollywood, and stellar third party support, I can't see anyone but the Playstation 3 winning this upcoming generation of video games.
I have below a list on must see videos from E3. If you are a video game fan of any kind you are doing yourself wrong by not watching some or all of these videos. If you aren't hyped about next-gen in some way, shape or form you seriously need to get checked out.
