I got Dark Knight for Christmas!

Its fullscreen edition, and it comes with a comic and a replica of Two-Face's coin!
Off the subject, I got a "crammer", $200, and a ton of other stuff. I am buying an iPod touch with the $200!

The Day The Earth Stood Still-The New One: 81% B-







I got a chance to see this movie yesterday!

Well, it was very funny. The alien's names are Klatoo and Gort. It seems like this remake is not really a remake at all. It's as cheesy as the original probably was.

Okay, I'm being a little harsh-The movie wasn't THAT bad. The special effects were cool, except for Gort (He looked pretty fake, honestly). Also, there are these little microscopic metallic beetle things that eat everything-glass, humans, whatever. So that was pretty cool.

The problem was that I was expecting it to be as good as War of the World (good movie starring Tom Cruise), and it really wasn't as good. So really my expectations were way too high. If you keep your expectations low before watching the movie, you'll probably enjoy it a lot. It's just that I was expecting something amazing, and I got something average. But really, you'll probably like this movie, but not love it, like me. Plus, some parts are really cheesy (and hilarious), so it's almost like a comedy!

Overall: B- (81%)

By the way, I posted the picture for the old movie and the new one-Gort (the alien on the 1951 poster) looks the same in the new movie!

Dark Knight Review


Wow. All I can say is "wow". That was probably the best movie of the year, maybe of all time! The intense action sequences are phenomenal, the story is thrilling, and the whole movie is amazing. My favorite part is when Batman used the batpod to trip the semi-truck with the Joker in it. That scene was shot in Chicago! Wow, the special effects were great. Heath Ledger was spectacular, as was Christian Bale. Maybe the next Batman movie will be called "Bathunt" or something, because at the end they start hunting down Batman. This movie is at LEAST tied with my old favorite movie, Iron Man. I still am in shock of how great that film was. One thing-About 45 minutes too long. I took a break in the middle of the movie and did something else, then came back later. If you haven't seen this film, this is your chance. See the best film of the year! And by the way...WHY SO SERIOUS???

Dark Knight

Ok...I'm REALLY seeing it today. I rented it!

Seeing Dark Knight this weekend, Game reviews







I can't wait! Also, here are some video game reviews:

Spore (PC):
Good: Fun making creatures, great game
Bad: Nothing

10/10 This with Star Wars force unleashed and Rock band are my favorite video games!



Rock Band (PS2):
Good: Drums, mic, guitar are all amazing and really fun!
Bad: There have been many technical issues (game doesn't load, songs don't work, etc.)

10/10 Except for the technical issues, this game is flawless.




By the way, Shaun White snowboarding was terrible, so I took it back.

11/15/08

Kung Fu Panda


Good: great action sequences. It's truly amazing how they did everything action on Kung Fu Panda. Great humor, Jack Black is hilarious! Really funny, and great action.

Bad: Kind of boring at the beginning, but not really that much!

Overall: A 93% Great mixture between action comedy and romance*!

*Romance is between Po and noodles (his favorite food), not between characters :-)

Birthday Review: Hulk (08 version)


Good: Very fun action, cool story, good acting, exciting movie!

10/27/08

December 9!

Speed Racer Movie Review


Hedache on a disk.

-Good: Action scenes are somewhat entertaining when they are slow enough to see.
-Bad: 80% of the scenes are too fast! I can never tell what's going on! Half of the movie makes no sense (a person crashed and truned into a green glob!)

Overall: B- Worth $1.49 at the DVD rental kiosks, and somewhat fun in general

Lego Batman (PSP Review)


Good: Fun gameplay, good story, funny animations
Bad: Some levels are overly difficult, not muchimprovement from Lego Star Wars

Overall: 7.8/10 Fun game, but nothing new.

City of Ember


Good: Very fun, great action and suspense scenes, nice storyline
Bad: Some parts didn't make sense (beetle horn???)

Overall B+ Fun movie for anyone!

10/18/08

Sorry

Sorry that I haven't posted much recently. I'll write my review for City of Ember and Lego Batman later. (I saw City of Ember in place of Eagle Eye)

Star Wars Clone Wars Movie Review

Good: Lightsaber duels are somewhat entertaining, and the visual CGI artwork is fantastic. The droids are hilarious.

And now for the very long BAD parts...

Bad: Where do I begin? First, the plot-line is amazingly randumb. I know I spelled "Random" wrong, but my misspelling fits it perfectly. The jedi are rescuing Jabba the Hut's baby. Pretty randumb. The characters are nothing like the live-action movies, so it doesn't really feel like Star Wars Episode 2.5. The entire movie doesn't seem like someone put a lot of effort into it. To me, it was a big long commercial for Star Wars.

6/10 ******

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PSP Review)

Fantastic Four: Silver Surfer (PS2 Review)


Good: Kinda fun to be the Human Torch
Bad: Dumb copy cat version of X-Men legends with extremely less characters, attacks and villains; just really not that fun
Overall: 6.8/10
It's not horrible, but it's not anything great either.

9/12/08

The Force Unleashed


I'm reserving it for PSP tomorrow.
The Playstation Official Magazine gives it 4/5 stars!

Star Wars III (PS2 Review)


Good: Great lightsaber action, droids are great, awesome alternate ending with two plot twists, dueling is GREAT (about 10 playable characters including Darth Vader and Greivous)
Bad: Some droids are very frustrating, only play as Anakin or Obi-Wan (in story mode), graphics aren't amazing, really short (already beat it in a week)

Overall: 9/10 Extremely fun, dueling is great, definitely worth $11.99

Smallville Episode 1 Review

Good: Action-Packed, great story-line, very fun plot, see superman before he was superman

X-Men/Batman Game Review (PSP/PS2 Review)



X-Men Legends II (PSP):
8.8/10
Good: Lots of characters, lots of powers and attacks, play as your favorite X-Men characters
Bad: Easy to get lost in giant environments, boss battles are confusing

Batman Rise if Sin Tzu (PS2):
8/10
Good: One of the very few Batman PS2 games, multiplayer, play as Batman Robin Batgirl or Nightwing
Bad: Very repetitive, boss battles are very boring
Overall: Fun game to play with a friend, but single-player is very boring

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Important Announcement


Hi everyone! I don't know if you know this about me, but I like to make my own computer games! They are free and on the internet. I will put them at this website: freewebs.com/skylerarcade . You can also go to freewebs.com/skylersarcade (with the "s" after skyler and before arcade). I will put it under important links if you ever forget the web address. Anyway, it will feature a game series called "Cheesey Ball", where you play as a colored ball and you jump on platforms. If you jump to far or fall off a platform, you lose! There are three games in that series. They are free and you don't need to download anything! Just visit Skyler's Arcade!!!

Dark Knight Game




I made these just like I made the Star Wars 7 poster. What do you think?

8/22/08

Going to Gamestop today



Hi everyone! I going to gamestop today. I'll be getting X-Men Legends II for PSP, and, depending on how much I get for trade in money, possibly Batman Vengeance or Rise of Sin Tzu.

8/20/08

Dark Knight Game Proof


http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/687343/Dark_Knight_Game_Leaks.html

It has a video of the actor who plays Commissioner Gordon in the Dark Knight stating the games existence. Sounds cool!

8/19/08

Exit (PSP Review)


Good: Fun Graphics and animations, puzzles are fun to solve, TONS of levels (I think over 100)
Bad: Eventually gets very boring (lack of variety)

8/10 Very Fun PSP game! Very original, too.

The Old Transformers Game not based on a movie (PS2 Review)



Good: Very fun gameplay, awesome weapons, really fun to choose your Transformer great graphics
Bad: Eventually gets so hard that it's not fun anymore

7.8/10 Very fun PS2 game. Definitely worth a rent, maybe even a buy!

Transformers Game News (PSP)





As I play Transformers more and more, I start liking it less and less. I'm going to go to Gamestop and take it back. I'll probably get X-Men Legends, instead. Also, has anybody ever played Batman Vengeance or Bat Rise of Sin Tzu for PS2? I might get one of those as well.

Star Wars 7 Poster


This is a poster I made. I took a picture from the internet and added the text, plus the PG-13 image in the bottom-right corner. Tell me what you think!

Star Wars 7 poll

If they ever make Star Wars Episode 7, what should it be called? You decide! I made a poll that will expire on the day Star Wars The Force Unleashed comes out. Vote on what you think Star Wars 7 should be called! If you pick "Other", specify by adding a comment to this post. Also, write what you think it should be about. Have fun!

Star Wars Force Unleashed Trailer



If it's white, wait about 10 seconds for it to load. This looks so cool! Maybe they'll eventually make a movie for it. That would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also hope they make a Star Wars Episode 7 game. That gives me an idea for a poll!

Your favorite video game

Post your favorite video game! Mine is Spider-Man 3 (PSP).

Rampage: Total Destruction (PS2 Review) Rated E10+


Good: 30 playable monsters, very fun to play with a friend, good easy controls, lots of extras

Bad: EXTREMELY Repetitive (every level is the SAME!), boss battles aren't interesting, 2D-Like environment (even though it's a 3D game.)

Overall 8/10 This is a fun game to play with your friend or brother/sister!

Note: Although it is rated E10+, it should be rated T. You have to destroy vehicles, eat humans (even old ladies), and demolish buildings! Seriously, making this game rated E10+ is pushing it way too far.

Transformers Game (PSP Review) Rated E10+


I changed my mind about X-men, and got Transformers!

Good: Variety of weaponry, variety of (playable) characters, real actor voiceovers (Shia LeBeouf, etc.)
Bad: Graphics aren't good, animations aren't well done, controls are not very responsive, controls are awkward, gameplay is lousy, entire game doesn't meet up to my expectations at all, one of the worst games I have ever gotten for PSP (probably the worst)

Overall: 5/10 AWEFUL!!! Don't buy this even if you find it for like $5. It's not worth any penny of mine.

Note: OK, originally I gave it 8/10, then 7.6/10, and now I have lowered it to 5/10. As I play it more and more, I dislike it more and more! Why couldn't they make it like the old PS2 Transformers (not based on the movie)? That was really AWESOME! That reminds me to do a post about the original Transformers game (PS2).
