GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, Oct 11, 2009

While I'm waiting for the now pretty crappy Sunday night Animation Domination to start I decided to post a blog about some stuff. Oh and I say AD is kinda bad now becuase King of the Hill is gone so I only watch Simpsons and American Dad.

First thing is I rented the game Saw based off the never ending movie series. Seriousally their already writing a 7th and planning an 8th. It's never going to end.

So overall the game is sort of a let down, but it's not. I didn't expect much to begin with and it didn't deliver much, but overall is was OK. The comat system is really the only very very bad thing, prouble the worst combat system ever. Basically the plot is you playing Detective Tapp (the black guy from the 1st movie who got his throat slashed) and walk around an abandoned asylum saving these people that hurt you in some way, kinda like the 3rd film (or mabye the 5th I cant remember). Along the way you run into minions, crazy dudes who want to rip you open to get a key inside you to escape. The puzzles in the game are pretty fun and you have to think at some points, and use certain perspectives. That part I enjoyed. But the few glitches in the game also made it semi-hard such as not being able to use your health packs super easy. I beat the game in 3 days and I didn't even play it much on the 2nd day due to being stuck on a hard part, but the other two games I did play alot so I can say the length isn't half bad. Overall the game is just a attempt to try and make the movies look better, which it doesn't because the movies aren't great, despite me seeing them all and planning to see the 6th in two weeks. Deffiently don't buy the game but if you're bored and feel like spending $7 or whatever then rent it. 6/10.

So ten years ago a show called Oz about a prison appeared on HBO. I never saw it or knew about it until last year when I saw Christopher Meloni from SVU was in it. But for a few months it's aired on that 101 channel on Direct Tv. When the first episode aired I gave it a shot and wasn't to impressed but kept watching. By the fourth episode or so I saw it had potenital. By the end of the 1st season (only has 7 episodes per season except Season 4) it was great. Now 101 has aired all of Season 2 and the third episode of Season 3 is tonight. The show, while explicit, shows the truth about prison life (which I don't know firsthand) and the writing and acting is great. It shows all the groups such as the Aryain Brotherhood, and those others ones I can't remember and how they don't get along but are sometimes forced to. But the show is deffiently well written and I'm going to keep watching the rest of the seasons. I dont really know if anyone should check it out now since there's alot of characters and its about 17 episodes in, but if you can rent the dvds (I checked their on Netflix) or buy a episode or two off iTunes, see if you like it.

Last thing is the Shadows Fall album Retribution came out not to long ago. I have enjoyed the band for awhile but they've never shown their full potential. But this album is just 100% kick ***. Every song is great and there's a perfect mix of heavyness, softness, and the pure sweet sound of metalcore. If you listen to any song, listen to Embrace Annihilation. My Demise, War, and King of Nothing are the other best ones, but like I said the whole album is great. One of my favorite albums this year, 10/10

Nice review, I should try it it one day. Oz sounds good. That must be a nice album man.

That's a lot of movies! Lets hope you don't know about prison firsthand. lol I don't have all of those extra channels. Good luck with playing Saw.
