Yesterday I went out to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I've read a lot of reviews on the movie, few of them being good beforehand, but after actually seeing the movie, I just couldn't believe what I read. I'm not one to agree with movie reviews often. The action scenes were superb, along with an above average story. The fights between Wolverine and Sabertooth were absolutely brutal, even though whenever Sabertooth decided to run on all fours like a dog, It got a little bit cheesy for me. I can't say I was too happy with the dialogue, but I didn't go into the movie expecting too much, so it didn't hurt too bad. Overally, I think the movie is worth checking out for just about anyone.

I also went out and bought Metal Gear Solid 4 yesterday. I finished MGS 1 2 and 3 last year, so this is the last one in the series other than the portable games. I've spent the past 4 hours playing it, only stopping to write this blog and then go to work. It is a visually outstanding game by console standards, and I've really been missing some good stealth gameplay.

About to go to work, You guys have a good week!

I went out to Best Buy today, and decided to purchase a PS3.

Just unboxed it an hour ago, and completed the first update.

Created my PSN account. My Username is DVzomb, and I'm looking for some friends to add on there, because at the moment I have none

I'll accept friend invites from anyone, just send them to me.

Also I've noticed that there is no sound coming from it, and the picture quality is awful on my HDTV.

Maybe that's because of the composite cables that came with it. Now I have to make a trip out to buy some Component cables.

I don't really have much for it right now, actually only Mirrors Edge. I'm thinking of picking up MGS4 on Friday.

Now that you've opened this blog, you may have noticed that I now have a new Banner and Avatar. My new theme is for the upcoming Assassins Creed 2 which I'm really hyped up for. I think that Mav_Destroyer from Designers Central did a great job with it, and I'm glad to have it on my profile.

I made a couple of purchases in the past two days. They were Pokemon Platinum along with a new Black DSi. Decided to take advantage of the trade-in deal that Gamestop were having where you can sell them your old DS lite for 70 dollars towards a DSi. I figured the new features it has would come in handy eventually, so the purchase felt like it was worth it. If you buy a DSi, you also get 1000 free points for the new DSi-Ware marketplace. I really haven't found any downloadable games that were worth it, so I'll probably save those points for now.

I've played Pokemon Platinum for around 2 hours now and can safely say that it's an enjoyable game. It actually feels very different from the old games that I remember playing years ago, but the improvements are all welcome. The old Pokemon formula is still there, so it really stays true to the other games in the series.

I went to see "Fast and the Furious" in theatres on Thursday, and I was left with mixed impressions. Overall, I do think the movie had some really intense race scenes, but what bothered me the most was just how dour it felt. I won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet, but something happens in the beginning of the movie that just causes everyone to become furious to eachother i.e. Characters that were once friends now are rivals, and there really aren't many bonds between them until the end of the movie. This may not bother some people, but it's just not what I expected out of a "Fast and the Furious" film. Even though it has some faults, it does what it does best, and provides a fast paced, entertaining movie.
