Friday's Review: Lego Batman

You all knew it was coming.
With the lack of games being released, I have to cover games I've owned for a while.

Positives: the game is mind numbingly entertaining, and presents easy enough gameplay. Basically, if you like Lego games, you'll like this one.
The fact that you get to play as the heroes, than the badguys is neat.
Working on the achievements for the game (if you're a completionist, like me, and have a 360) will keep you entertained.

Negatives: It's easy to get bored of this game.
Obviously, if you don't like the Lego games, you probably won't even look at the case on the shelf.

Overall, I'd give this game a 3/5* just because yes, it does give me something to do when I don't feel like reading, or I'm sick, but it doesn't keep my attention long enough to be worth while.
Thanks for reading and have a happy new year everyone!

Monday's Review: Sherlock

HA, only a DAY late this time =]

Monday Movie Sherlock Holmes

kay, saw this monday night and was amazed. This was a great movie and I might possibly be so in love with it because Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are both gorgeous and entertaining.
NOW.
I haven't read much of Sherlock, but the movie portrays him as being very physical [meaning he fights lots].
He seems like a 19th century one-man CSI unit. He walks into a room and can figure everything out, he has what seems like identic memory [not complaining, so does Dr. Reid on Criminal Minds] and he can analyse a person's entire personality by talking to them for about a minute.
The story worried me at first but than I got more into it and was really able to enjoy myself.
There was quite a bit of action, jokes, and actual mystery that Sherlock, of course, sorts out in the nick of time.
Overall, I'd give it 4/5*. I love the period movies [and the soundtrack], costumes. Rachel MacAdams was amazing, and as I mentioned, both leading men were good-looking and engaging enough to keep my attention the whole time.
Thanks for reading, and now:
What movie have you gone to the cinema to see lately, and what did you think?

Fridays Review

Okay, so I know, I know. Two, almost 3 days late, but I was busy with christmas, family and WORK. [I'm just as lame as my excuses.]




So, I shall cover a game I got for christmas, than.

I got Guitar Hero 5 =] [yay me]



The positives: The songs I've unlocked thus far are a good selection and include songs for people who like rock, punk, [some] metal and a couple more 'poppy' songs. /shrug Fairly pleased.

The challenge and test on hand/finger-eye coordination is increasily frustrating yet entertaining.

I like the customization of the rocker and guitar [i don't have all the instruments at this point...yet] and the idea of using my avatar as the rocker.



The negatives: I know it's not fair to put this in, BUT the fact that I can't actually DO some of the bonus challenges because I don't have the mic or drum set is kind of annoying. If I wanted the whole band, I'd get Rock Band, thanks.



Because I haven't been able to play it as much as I'd like to, that's all I have right now. I realise it's dumb to do a review of a game I haven't played much, but it was this or Lego Batman [heck yeah!], so be happy.



If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment and/or follow this blog ;) You know you want to.

Thanks for reading and happy holidays!
