Should I start doing TV reviews?

I have been thinking about doing TV show reviews, since I already kind of started with Smallville. But should I write reviews for shows like The Office, V, Community, etc.? Also, should I do reviews per season or per episode? Write a comment on what you think!

Smallville 9-7 "Kandor" Review


Season 7's "Lara" was the episode I saw before this one yesterday (I had just bought season 7), which was the perfect one to watch before Kandor. Kandor is mainly about Jor-El and Zod and their backstory. And Jor-El (well his Clone type-thing) actually is in the episode (and he looks like Sting from the Police).

There is no Lois in this episode, which is surprising considering last episode's Clois kiss. But this one is almost completely about Zod and Jor-El. And Clark meeting his father (I still think this is weird). There is some good action, good special effects, and amazing acting mainly from Callum Blue (he plays Zod). I thought the opening scene on Kandor, which is a city on Krypton, was especially well done.

This episode was epic. It had answered a lot of questions about the Zod storyline, and added some good action in their as well. I'm loving how this season is turning out, but there is something I have to mention.

Lex Luther has been gone almost half a season now, and that is definutely not good. One of the best parts of Smallville was Lex Luther and Clark's relationship and how they started out as friends. And just when it was supposed to get good, where they are enemies, Lex dies. What the heck! Its rumored that he will be returning for the finale, but honestly why should we have to wait so long?

Even without Lex, this season so far is my favorite. He's finally becoming Superman. I mean, it took him 9 seasons to do it, but finally we're here. When Lex comes back, Smallville will be the best it has ever been.

New Smallville Tonight!


Tranformers Revenge of the Fallen PS3 Review


You all know I didn't like the movie as much as I had hoped, but here is the video game review:

Graphics: The transforming animations are good, the city looks pretty good, and the Transformers themselves look decent too. 7/10

Sound: Pretty cool music and voice acting. The transforming sounds are fantastic. 7/10

Story: There really not much of a story, but thats what the movie is for. This game is made for the explosions. 7/10

Gameplay: Transformers (the one based on the first movie) for PS3 was not good. It had bad controls and was outright frustrating. This new version is made by a new company (can't remember the name), and they have done it right. The new thing about this game is its Transforming. In the first game, you just press a button and you transform and it wasn't that cool. Plus, you had to be completely stationary to transform (like you couldn't be driving then change into a robot, you had to press the brakes first.) This one its completely opposite. You actually are encouraged (you pretty much have to) transform while moving. This propels you forward, and when you combine that with jumping and attacks, it makes for devastating attacks. This is what the game is mostly based on, this transforming to your advantage, and its just really fun to pull these of. It does take a while to get used to, but after a while the controls feel natural and everything feels great. 8.5/10

Multiplayer: Really REALLY fun online multiplayer. I'm not to bad actually (lol jk)

Overall: 7.4/10 Transformers is really fun. The transforming put to your advantage is great. It has never been so exciting to be a transformer.

Tornado Outbreak PS3 Review


Graphics: Okay, to be fair its made by a smaller company, but honestly this is the PS3. Tornado Outbreak looks like a LOW END PS2 game. Not like Gran Turismo for PS2, but like Spongebob Squarepants Video Game graphics. This really effected my first impression negatively. And while its not fair to judge a game by its graphics, this reflects the quality of the game and how much work was put into it. 5.5/10

Sound: Voiceovers actually are great. Music isn't terrible, and the sound actually does fit. There isn't really anything special here though. 7/10

Story: Okay so its about an alien named Zephyr who is trying to rid the planet of little fire monsters from outer space. What the heck does this have to do with a tornado? All I can say about the story i what the heck. 4/10

Gameplay: Tornado outbreak is actually not a terribly boring game. I mean, there should be some excitement in tearing down a barn. The problem with it is its simplicity: theres just not enough too it. Although it does get old, Tornado Outbreak is pretty fun at first and if you just look at that, its really not that bad of a game. It does get repetetive, but I'm still going to give it a 7.5/10

Multiplayer: It says there is co-op, but we never got it to work.

Overall: Tornado Outbreak is a low-budget game. There is no other way to put it without being unfair. The graphics are cartoony but really outdated, the story makes no sense at all, but the gameplay isn't all that bad. Still, there are so many great PS3 games out there, so unless your a Tornado fan like my brother, there isn't any reason to pick this up, at least at its current price. I might pay 15 bucks for it, but I'm not paying 40 for a 6/10 game.

I was watching some vids and this looks pretty good! Of course the movie will be outstanding as well!
