As someone who has spent a good chunk of time playing Burnout Paradise I consider myself pretty spoiled with DLC, there are very few games that receive the amount of post release content like this racer right here.
Burnout Paradise is indeed a fantastic title and every time Criterion release new content I keep eating it up and continue to play the game, this time around they released an whole extra island for us to jump, crash and race around on.

Watchmen
I can’t really say I’m an oldschool fan of Watchmen, I only read the book two years ago or so. Everyone will tell you that it’s one of the best graphic novels of all time, I can’t argue with that.
When the first trailer for the movie adaptation was released I was pleasantly surprised with how close they stayed to the source material but also afraid that alot of the storytelling that was so great about the book would get ruined because of the limited time you have to work with in a feature film.
I know that I’m a bit late on the subject but I finally went and saw the movie yesterday, here are my thoughts on it.

Street Fighter IV
My relationship with the Street Fighter franchise is weird one, on the one hand I can look at tons of match videos and read about in-depth strategies and combos but when it all comes down to it I’m not terribly good at them, especially not at Street Fighter II.
I do love Street Fighter III 3rd Strike though, there’s just something about the presentation and gameplay style that clicks with me. When Street Fighter IV was announced I had my doubts about the game going back to the classic gameplay of Street Fighter II, but over the course of the last year the game grew on me and now that I’ve been playing it for two weeks I can give you my thoughts on it.

Hulk Vs.
Hulk Vs is a direct to video animated film featuring two movies of the Hulk fighting Wolverine and the Weapon X program in one, and Thor with all of Asgard in the other.
Usually I just pass on these types of releases, I had no interest in the previous films released by Marvel Animation. However this time they brought in two of my favourite writers to work on the film, Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, the current writers on X-Force and previously New X-Men.
Hulk Vs was said to be an action packed film so initially I expected nothing else but I was pleasantly surprised, especially with the Wolverine feature.

Metal Gear Solid 4
I’m a long time fan of the Metal Gear series and consider MGS1 as one of my top three games of all time so it might not be hard to understand why I was on board the Metal Gear Solid 4 hype train long before the game came out. What I loved about the first game was the underlying tone of pacifism and threat of nuclear weapons, but also the crazy ways Kojima decided to adress the player in the game.
MGS2 and 3 where fine games but the plot and narrative sort of went overboard, I still love them though. Going in to MGS4 I thought there was no way they could finish the story and tie together all the loose ends, here are my thoughts on the game.

Spectacular Spider-Man
I’m not a huge Spidey fan but I do tend to check out the latest stuff coming out of Marvel these days. When Spectacular Spider-Man started airing and received alot of positive feedback I was interested, because some of the latest cartoons coming out of the Marvel universe didn’t really appeal to me.
This latest Spider-Man show is an excellent example on how to use a well established franchise and bring it to a new audience while still proving old fans with a fun experience. The first season finished airing a couple of days ago, here are my thoughts on it.

Grand Theft Auto IV
I have alot of fond memories of the first two GTA games, me and a couple of friends would take turns in causing as much insanity as we could with unlimited ammo until the military finally arrived and sent us all to hell. And while I do love causing all sorts of mess and destruction, there has to be something else there to keep me playing through a game these days.
Some time after GTA3 came out I really thought that there was no way Rockstar could outdo themselves with a sequel but I think Vice City pretty much proved everybody wrong. San Andreas had an insane scope and scale but the Vice City setting really hit the mark for me. Going in to Grand Theft Auto IV I really didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly isn’t like one of the old games.

Not that active am I?
Time for an update (or whatever you choose to call it), I havn’t been updating this blog for about a year or more so I figured I should write something. I’m not sure what I want to do with this little site yet but maybe I’ll think of something in the future, I decided to write in english as well so that’s why I erased all of the previous posts.
I’ve made a name change, got the name from the lyrics to a Pillows song (namely the ending credits to FLCL) – sounded fun so there it is. Again, not decided what I want to with this blog but I’m sure there’ll be something here in the future. So till next time, see ya!
