Spider Man Friend or Foe

This game isn't to bad to play. It's not very hard and once you beef up your characters and figure out the moves you like to wup everyone up with, you'll role through this game. The cheat for unlocking 5000 points to spend off the bat is nice as well. There are some character unlocks as well if you want to use Venom just from the start.

This game does have collectibles but they aren't hard to find. The ones that you are going to miss are the ones that are just out of the screen where you can't see them or you just don't look around enough to find them. Which also means destroying everything on your way. Which you need to do for the money anyway. I wouldn't kill yourself trying to find everything. You can just go back, replay the level at anytime. Plus, just look at a guide to see where everything is and you'll find them easy enough for the ones you do miss. It won't hurt you to reply the levels because when you do beat the game, you'll have to keep playing to earn enough money to upgrade every character in the game. So nothing like going through the levels to earn money again.

You will get some power-ups on the way, use them as you go as you can only hold 3 of each anyway, so you'll waste them if you never use them. No worries if you die, you'll start right where you left off but you will lose all your money you've earned if you do. So the power-ups can help prevent that.

Once you are down to just earning money. Just do the last level where you fight the final boss as you'll get 3000 just for beating him plus any you earn in the level along the way which will range from 200-300 depending. Each character takes about 3800 I think to level up all the way. So this would be the quickest way to do it as no other level gives you near that amount. I think 1 level I got up to 1000 on a beach but that was it.

So enjoy, play through for fun destroying everything and looking for stuff as you go through, then go back to finish up when you didn't find later on.

The Losers

Well if you're looking for some action with a bit of comedy, this movie is a must see. I actually enjoyed watching this. Never got bored even once with the entire movie.

The comedy they used is very refreshing and goes with the vibe of the movie.

If you get a chance to watch this movie, definitely watch it.

Where the Wild Things Are

Started and finished this game fairly quickly. I haven't seen the movie yet, so now I'm curious if the movie follows the game. If so, it doesn't really follow the book but the book is short in comparison to a movie and they added a bunch of stuff in the middle.

This game has collectibles but everyone said don't worry as you'll get a cheat later on. Well in order to get the cheat you want in order to find all the items on a board, you have to find everything on a certain item to unlock that cheat. So as you're running through, you still need to try to find everything you can and towards the end of the game, you'll start unlocking all the cheats. At least when you're running back through, you can run until you find it and not worry about looking everywhere again.

The gameplay is very simple and not hard at all. Fighting and saving the monsters gets a little harder later on but all you need to remember is, not die of course, but keep knocking the black stuff off the monsters so they will stay up and not get pulled down into the ground.

So in about 10-12 hours you should be able to knock this game out fairly easy.

Green Zone

Had another movie come in from Netflix that was not near the top. They are getting as bad as Gamefly when it comes to shipping out movies you want. I got around to watching it yesterday.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was during the Saddam period where we were looking for the chemical weapons. The movie did a great job showing how things probably were over there and what Americans were going through.

The action was really good. Any FPS fan is going to enjoy it because some of the scene's reminded me some parts in some games I've played. It made it more intrigueing if anything else.

If you like war movies and got 2 hours to spend, I'd watch this movie at some point.

Death Proof

So I watched Grindhouse: Death Proof a couple days ago. I wanted Grindhouse with the girl with the shotgun leg but my wife had added this to the Netflix que saying it was part of some how. I don't think so but I won't know until I get Grindhouse.

The first thing that made me laugh in the movie was when I put it in. First thing that popped up on the screen said, "This disc is for retail sale only". I thought that was pretty funny considering it came from Netflix as a rental.

The movie overall I was not really impressed with. I almost cut it off and quit watching a few times. I watched until the 1 hour mark and that's when the wreck happened that they rewinded and showed what happened which each person in the car died. That caught my attention enough to finish it as it went to 14 months later after that. Figured I'd get to see another wreck which would have been worth seeing.

Well, the last 30 minutes is the best part of this movie. From that point on to the end I enjoyed every bit of that part of the movie. It took it that long for it to get good. So if you wanted to fast forward to the car scenes in the movie, you would be good to go and only waste about 40 minutes instead of 2 hours on this movie.

Start the Party

Start the Part is a PlayStation 3 Move game. It's a bunch of mini games where up to 4 players can play. The graphics are clean and crisp but nothing overwhelming. The move controllers to work very well in the game and follow you precisely for where you are moving.

Just starting the game up, it's not to bad of a game, but it would keep young kids entertained for awhile. As an adult. It's only going to take a few games and you are going to grow tired of it very quickly. It gets repetitive and that's what drags it down.

One thing that really bugs me about the game is no matter if you pick 5, 8, or 10 rounds to play. When you get to the final round of the game. The winner of that round wins. All the stars you earn up to that point just give you more time to score higher. If someone is really good and you're not at the game that comes up with close times whether you have the lead or not, they can win by that last round. Seems unfair to me.

I went after all the trophies in the game and got my first platinum with this game. Most are going to be pretty easy to get. There are a few time consuming ones. Then their are some annoying ones that are hard. The one with the 3 strike rounds are annoying as you have to play an 8 round game for a 3 strikes round to show up. If you don't get the trophy associated with that game, plan to play for another 1.5 hours just to get that mini game to show back up again. It got old quick as one of the hard trophies to get is a 3 strikes round trophy.

First time playing, it'll be fun and any kids that jump into it will enjoy it. If you're not a kid, it's a play to see, maybe get all the trophies and get rid of the game. That's all there is to say about this game.

I Need to Post

I need to start posting up as I've had plenty to post but just haven't taken the time to post. Finished a PS3 game for my first platinum trophy. Which helped me get to level 6. Been wrapped up in Yu-Gi-Oh but finally played some Pinball FX2 and got some achievements. Got to start working on my games to be able to trade in to get Gran Turismo 5. I want to get Dead Nation on the PS3 as well. Christmas is almost here. Thanksgiving was a blast. Writing up a walk through for TA on a game.

So a short post just to get me back to posting again.
