So, a while ago at E3, I promised you guys that I had a picture of myself getting owned by Don. Well, I finally got it. So, without further hesitation, here you go: 
(In case you are wondering, yes that is a Bionic Arm, and no my head hasn't fully recovered yet)

I haz them! Well, let's see what's been going on in my gaming world.
Star Wars: Force Unleashed is a decent game. I've played through it twice, since it's pretty short. I'm working on a third time on the hardest setting right now to see if it makes it a little more fun. The force powers are pretty satisfying actually. I always have fun coming up with new combos and such to whoop up on some Stormtroopers. One thing I find highly annoying is the targetting system. It's nice when you actually have time to single out what you want and grab it, but most of the time that's not possible, especially in a crowded location, or when there are 100 things happening at once. However, the story is amazing. I love how the story went, and also the choice of two endings. Several time throughout, I was totally surprised at what happened. Overall, it's a decent game, and worth playing, if anything just to punt Jawas...
Lego Batman was my 2nd purchase in a week. I'm a huge fan of the Lego series games, and of course Batman, so I had to get it. So far I've played through one episode. It's not too bad, although I think they certainly could have made it better. Several times through the first episode were extremely frustrating. Whether it was gliding the wrong way, or not being able to judge a ledge, it got old after a while. I do like the steady stream of enemies though, and it seems that they are tougher than in the previous games. The story is kind of confusing so far. Since the game doesn't follow any movies or , it'll be interesting to see where they go with it. Co-op is decently fun so far. I hear it's pretty good, so I'll have to be sure and play through the game once with a friend. We just did the first level together, and it certainly helped since the friendly AI sucks. Orange Box I purchased a while ago, and I haven't had a chance to play it. I also started Assassin's Creed, and never got around to finishing it. Before the end of the year, my goal is to play those games, and beat Gears 2 as well, since that has been pre-ordered for me. I still want to finish my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect. I never got around to doing that, and there are a ton of things I didn't do the first time around. Any other games will be bonus playing time!
Anyway, sorry for the little lack of activity. Been extremely busy lately, but that changes next week. Expect me around more then

O wait....I mean Force! Unleash the Force! Or was it Force Unleashed? 
In any case, I am definitely having fun with ridiculous Force powers and killing and lightsabering and all that stuff. I must have played like 7 hours of it today. So far I've only run into a little glitch like twice, so I'm pretty happy with that.
That's about it. It's nice to get back to some real gaming, and it seems I'm over 5k on the achievement points! Lucas, you better start playing ASAP!

Some people just don't have opinions. Like cell_dweller.
cell_dweller must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could cell_dweller possibly have for not rating a single film?
