I've completed the story mode of Jak & Daxter: the Precursor Legacy and I've collected all of the power cells. I watched the extended ending, but it was nothing too special. I'm moving on from the game at 98% complete. There's still 174 precursor orbs I have to collect, but I'm not too worried about them.

My review is posted. I gave it an 8. It's the same score I gave Jak 3, but I think overall I do like this one the best.

That's it. I've gotten nothing else new to add since my post yesterday.

I happened to swing by the GS Off Topic forum recently. Geeze. That place is a mess. Moving on...

I'm not liking Giant Bomb. I think I'm going to stay off of it until next year. Certain features seem broken, and I don't like the layout of the forums. Moving on...

I just learned today that Spider-man Web of Shadows will be coming out on PS2! This, plus Lego Batman and Force Unleashed means it's still great to be a PS2 owner. Woohoo!
Moving on...

Gaming Updates:
I posted a review of Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party. It's a good collection of mini-games for kids, and using the Buzz! controllers mixes things up a little bit. I gave it a 7.

Killzone - I'm on Level 8 part 3 now. Part 2 did not take me as long as part 1 did. I think it was just one of those levels.

Jak & Daxter - I am at the Citadel, I've freed the first 3 sages, and I'm 81% complete.

I gotta say, I wasn't a fan. It's been a long time since I watched a movie, and was really blown away. I think the last time a movie really impressed me was the Bourne Ultimatum last year. Maybe I'm picky.

(EDIT: I realized this isn't 100% true. I did like Wall-E)

Anyway, the movie was not shy of good actors with great performances. Javier Bardem (the main bad guy) was an awesome character. If anything makes the movie worth watching, it's this guy.

The flaw of the movie was it's long scenes of very little substance. There was a lot of watching barely anything happen. It was just over 2 hours long; I'm sure I could edit it down to about 85 minutes. Perhaps the director was trying to stay true to the book, but it was tiresome for me.

That much waiting to get to the end was upsetting, as I didn't find the end very fulfilling. I don't need a happy ending to enjoy a movie, but this movie left me saying "That's it? That's one of the longest trips to nowhere I've taken."

It had it's highlights, but not enough to ever want to make me watch it again.

Gaming News:
I am now 77% complete J&D:tPL. It sounds like I'm progressing quickly, but the game does move rather fast. That's okay though. I'd rather a short game where most of the time I'm having fun, then a long game where I'm constantly frustrated.

Everyone was in bed early tonight, so I had a chance to pop in Killzone. Whoa. Now I remember why I had put it down. I was stuck on Level 8 part 1. After re-acquainting myself with the controls I finally past it (just part one mind you) although it did take me an hour to do it. Still a good game though. I hope the rest of it doesn't cause me quite so much trouble.

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