Yeah, this is a movie, I know. But, in my defence, it's one of the best I have seen in a while, probably since Michael Clayton.
I will start off by saying some of the negatives. I believe that it was actually too short. Maybe it should have been 2 or 3 movies, but I felt too much was compressed into the 2h 40m timeframe. It sounds ridiculous, but if you see it, you may agree. Also, I personally felt more time should have been spent on Dr. Manhattan. He stole the show for me, he is so complex and disturbed by his knowledge, he is very interesting. Three is also alot of violeence, which I found was mayb a little to graphic for my tastes. Lastly, well, I will say there is no lack of male nudity...
Now, the positives. This film looks AMAZING. No doubt, one of the best looking films of all time. Some of the effects were truly unreal. Eyepopping glory. The story is amazing as well. The one thing I loved, though, was Dr. Manhattan. Wow. He is quite the character. Refered to as God by some, he is an industructible, unbeatable, knowledgeable entity that is having a hard time coping with it. Rorschach was also a great character, albeit a little violent. He had a vry messed up background, and it really showed.
All in all, it was a very well put together movie. I would really recommend it.
9.0/10

A new trailer for the survival/horror game Cryostasis was released
yesterday. This game takes place in the Arctic Circle in 1981. This is
the first trailer to date.
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming game DC Universe Online for the PC and Playstation 3. In this trailer they go in depth about character customization and show a sample of the gameplay. In DC Universe Online you aren't playing AS the comic book superheros like superman and the like, but you are within their universe. The point of the game is for you to create your own superhero, either based on other superheros or just a hero that you've dreampt up. This game is going to be an MMO, and by the looks of it, could turn out to be one of the first successfull console MMO's thus far.
The new Prince of Persia game, set to be released tomorrow (Dec. 4th) by Ubisoft, is getting many quality reviews so far.
1up.com gave Prince of Persia a B+, stating that the game "delivers well-crafted gameplay that borrows elements from its predecessors (and plenty of other titles) but makes great strides in developing a new identity for a series...".
ign.com gave Prince of Persia a 9.3, sayed that the game is very good, but for one to fully appreciate the game, they must let go of what they are accustomed to in Prince of Persia games. It was also critisized on it's lack of challenge in some areas of the game, and that these areas cannot be changed or modified.
Gamespot gave the game 8.0/10, which is a decent score.
The Metacritic average right now for Xbox 360, and PS3 as well, is 89%, based on 16 and 21 reviews, respectively.
I know I look forward to picking this game up, and will update you all on the new reviews in about a week.
