Borderlands Review

It's alright. This is gonna be short.

Graphics are Unreal 3 and pretty much suck, they're just ugly. Cartooney but not in a good way. Animation does better but it still looks like a first generation xbox game. Reminds me of JetsetRadio. The textures load very slowly just like in GOW and pretty much every other Unreal 3 game.

The Overworld is such shit, but once in a dungeon shit gets real. It's hard, fun and rewarding. It's best played with one other person over xbox live. More than that and the game is too easy. Also fights break out over guns so it's best to start at the same time and be different classes, for example 2 hunters won't fair well. I usually play with me as a hunter and a friend as a soldier or berserker.

Achievements are very easy. Stuff like find this place, and reach level 10. Nothing hard. Others include win 1 arena match, and sell this many items at a shop. They're not creative nor challenging. Many however are hiddin even though there is so little story. Hiding an achievement does nothing unless its a story heavy game and the achievement is based on the story. This game's story sucks.

Overall, I thought it was mediocre. Try it before you by it. The looting is fun but sometimes the game can be way too brutal, and other times too easy. It's unbalanced and frustrating. It's not terrible by any means but lacks polish and really half assed the story. If the story hhad been decent and the achievements and polish been better, it would have scored higher.

6/10 "Mediocre"

Be a Hero! Halo saves Haiti!

If you play Halo 3, or ODST this upcoming week and equip a Red(Brick, Rose) color Heart and a White circle background Bungie will donate money to the Red Cross working in Haiti. Awesome game for an awesome cause huh? Link's right here, also they are selling shirt for the same reason.

What 2010 may hold in store...

2010 is looking to have some awesome entries as far as the 360 is concerned. Metro 2033 is a spooky fps, Halo Reach is a fancy new engine for Halo, Lost Planet 2 has co-op, Mass Effect 2 will be over rated. And so on.....plus Mc Hammer vs. Vanilla Ice

Avatar Review: Go see it!

In short Avatar is the Star Wars of the next generation. It's technically amazing, tells an thrilling story, and makes you think; the best thing a movie can ever hope to do.

SPOILER ALERT:
The storyline revolves around Jake Sully, a former marine whose spine was crippled in battle leaving him in a wheel chair. After the untimely death of his twin brother he is asked to fill his brothers position in an off world experiment. They need him because it only works with one person's DNA. He accepts and so he is put in cryogenic sleep for 6 years. When he awakes he is transported to an Earthlike moon called Pandora. It is not only home to a shocking amount of alien life such as the Banshees(a cross between a pteredactyl and a snake) but also a very expensive and rare mineral known comically as "Unobtainium". Yes that's really what it's called.

The humans are there to mine the mineral but they have one problem, the locals aren't too keen on the "aliens" coming and tearing up their planet. One thing leads to another and Jake ends up switching sides and fighting alongside the aliens in a desperate battle over the planet.
Story Rating:*****


Overall I loved this film, with no huge plot holes, amazing special effects, and a story that will become a classic this movie is already a must see.

However no film is perfect. The movie drags it's feet in terms of plot, during the mid point. Several of the later scenes involving the humans are really not needed. And the naration drops in and out like a bad CD. Despite all of these minor complaints this is still by far the best action movie of 2009, and maybe the best film of 2009 period. Go see it for yourself and you decide.
Final Score: Perfect
