Castlevania Judgment Wii Review

Castlevania Judgment

Wii Review
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami
Released: November 18, 2008

Konami has done a great job recently with the latest Castlevania games, especially with the releases on the Nintendo DS.  They have attempted something new this time out with Castlevania Judgment on the Nintendo Wii, as it is a one-on-one fighting game.

I was a bits skeptical when I heard about Castlevania Judgment and what it was all going to be about.  This was due to the fact that I was afraid that it was going to be just a knock-off, an average fighting game that would carry the franchise tag in order to do a little bit better at retail.

Xbox 360 Review
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Rare
Released: November 11, 2008

Rare has answered the call of gamers around the world pushing for the release of a Banjo Kazooie game on the next-generation Xbox 360.  The franchise became highly-popular back on the Nintendo 64 but never saw the light of day again once Microsoft purchased developer Rare.  Things have changed though as the Xbox 360 gamers have received Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts.

When you first hop into the game there are some similarities which will immediately tie it to games of the past.  You start out in the world called Showdown Town, where you basically will be traveling from world to world for challenges.  The whole idea behind the worlds is to complete these challenges, collect jigsaw pieces, etc. in order to keep on progressing.

Jarhead Blu-ray Review

Blu-ray Review
Universal Studios Home Entertainment

Jarhead is an interesting movie as it is a war-movie that touches on some very deep topics without actually going to the battlefield or throwing you in the middle of tons of action.

The film takes this idea and tries its best to run with it, and succeeds in many fronts.  The will have you following a group of Marines who never really get into any type of battle, but have plenty of issues of their own. Read more

The film is politically charged and does a good job from the start of introducing us to the relationship between the Americans and Saudi Arabia.  You are immediately introduced to all of the terrorism, the innocent people being killed, etc. Read more
