I review more things...

Seeing as reviews are nice and easy 'n all, here are some more...

Superbad

Wasn't all keen on it from the first time i saw the trailer; seemed to me just like another lame teen movie, but over time i saw good reviews and more good reviews, and i wound up watching it witha group of friends on saturday. By jove, it surpassed my expectations over and over; seriously, and particularly if you're a teenager, DO NOT MISS THIS movie. The jokes keep are consistently hilarious, with nice cult references, (my favorite - 'I'm sorry your porn isn't directed by the Coen Brothers!'). The characters are brilliant, everything is brilliant, the plot is highly amusing (mainly following the story of 3 geeks trying to get their hands on some alcohol for a party and get laid), and is the McLovin joke doesn't make you laugh then you ARE dead inside. Man, writing about this i really wanna just watch it again... or go to a party... either will do.

Noein

Yea so i was guna not bother with doing animu reviews anymore cause my plan of them getting me traffic seems to have failed, and the people how read this evidently aren't huge fans. But after the last couple of episodes i simply couldn't NOT blog this. Supurb series so far, with paralell dimensions and the like; the last episode was largey set in a distopian post-apocalyptic world, which looked just amazing. The quality of the animation is incredible (though how many times are they guna show off their frickin 3d house model; it doesn't look that great alright!?) though things are slightly marred by the somewhat lame character designs, which sorta remind me of Yugio (This is a very, very bad thing). Luckily the main 2 kids look alright. Anyway i'll be keen to see if the quality remains this high throughout the rest of the series (and if i can keep track of what the hell's going on)

9.5 / 10

Devil May Cry 4 - Demo

Didn't really know what to expect, having never played a DMC game before, but i figured id give it a go. I'm glad i did aswell, as this game is, to put it simply, badass. Simple hack and slash stuff, but it's certainly enjoyable, and well worth the 0.7gb of my 20gb monthly allowance. The 360 continues to impress, as the demo system works great. Makes me lose faith in Nintendo even more, really.

8 / 10 as of the demo

Bioshock

Nearly forgot i bought this. Only an hour in so far so it's hard to say if the stunning set pieces (is that the term?) continue. I'll be amazed if they do, as everything so far has been phenomial. I have seen a man get thrown against a wall, and his stomache exploding in gore as a huge drill is pressed into him. I have seen lights flicker out of life and leave me to fend for myself in the dark. I have seen a mad surgeon hang bodies up on teh wall and scream at them. That's all within the first couple of hours. Stunning atmosphere.

9.5 / 10 if it carries on like this

(note to self: do a review of summat crap soon, theres too many 9's being handed out here)
And in other news, my 360 nearly broke today. Well it didn't but i got the red light, which made me panic alot, before i realized that it was 4 red lights not 3, and i just needed to clean the cable.
Speaking of panic, P!ATD have lost their excallmation mark!! Why?? Fools. Now it's just Panic at the Disco
