Well most of us know of the Bejeweled games being for the computer, well it is also in the iPhone/iPod Touch! I recently started to play the edition on my phone and I have to say that once again it’s another great computer-to-phone game that is well done and fun to kill some time. Bejeweled is a puzzle game where you have to swap jewels from one place to another to make lines of at least three to destroy those three. The goal of the game is to achieve the set goal for each level. That is the basics of the game, but of course like most games there are various game modes and styles you can play that add subtle differences. The Bejeweled games are great puzzle style games in general to kill some time or just have some plain fun with.

Overall the iPhone version is great and I would recommend getting it.

Iron Man 2

Sherlock Holmes

Gamer

Most of these have trailers so check them out and have a sneak peak.

Watchmen was in theaters a while ago and it is now on DVD. I first watched it in theaters and I was very impressed by how visually pleasing it was to watch on the big screen. I watched it for a second time and came to the same conclusion that if you don’t know the originals story by Alan Moore’s graphic novel then it can be hard to follow. The movie had some really cool characters in it and some great special effects, and altogether some of the most impressive scenes in a movie that I have seen in a while.

The movie was a well-rounded film, but was a bit too hard to figure out what was going on in certain parts.

I would watch this movie for its action and fancy visual effects to go with it.

The new Terminator: Salvation movie was newest installment of the Terminator series and certainly nice to look at with incredible special effects and some really awesome looking terminators. The movie featured Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) acting as “John Conner” who is the leader of The Resistance and has to stop Skynet from ending the human race. Although many movie critics gave this movie a bad review, I will have to say that this movie was better than what I was expecting, but still wasn’t amazing. The movie certainly was no Termiator 2, but the movie was much better than terminator 3. The story did lack heart compared to the first two films, but the action and special effects made up for that a bit.

Overall the movie was not the salvation of the Terminator franchise, but it’s a worthy watch if you want to watch a movie with some wicked action scenes and amazing special effects.

I would wait for the DVD if you’re planning to watch this

Well as many know the Wii is a very good system for shooter games that are in the arcade style because of the wiimote. Ghost Squad is a good example of one of those. I bought Ghost Squad a while ago and I have to say that it gets its use when my friends or family come over and want to have some fun for a little while. The game isn’t long and has the same crappy arcade shooter story, but it’s a fun game to play. The game is pretty short because you have three different levels, but you can repeat them over and over to make them more difficult. You can also get better weapons and change your outfit to be some pretty ridiculous things like having a crazy hat on or really weird clothing on. Overall a short game, but a fun one.

I would suggest getting this game for someone who has a Wii and misses playing those arcade shooter games. If you do happen to pick this up or any other arcade shooter I would also suggest getting a “gun” accessory to put your wiimote in because it makes the game experience all that much better.

Ghost Squad brings back those childhood arcade memories

As a whole the saw franchise has done fairly well, but like most movies that have sequels the quality and story have slowly degraded in each one. The new Saw 6 is on its way to theaters in October. Now even though the 6th edition of saw isn’t even out in theaters yet Liongate has given the green light for the new Saw 7. I really don’t know what to say other than I hope that they make these two new movies different in someway because Saw V (the last Saw movie that was in theaters) was not so good. Although each movie has done alright, each movie has really gone down a lot in its originality in my mind. I still remember watching the first movie and thinking wow this movie is interesting because nothing like it has ever been done, but the problem was that they kept making sequel after sequel with the same concept and style of the story. I think a good change up or twist in the way they do the next movies would make the fans of Saw very happy.

Can they take Saw VI and Saw VII off the downhill track the Saw franchise has been on?

I guess we’ll find out in October

DinoSmash is a game that I started to play a little while ago and had some fun getting into. The game is very much like Super Smash Bros. but for your phone! Recently it has been updated and now you can customize your dino and select from 24 different tribes. DinoSmash is in third person with some pretty good controls that are easy to use so you can navigate and jump simply to fight your enemies. The best part of DinoSmash is the online mode where you can face off against other players around the world and play either a Capture the Flag mode or a Team Deathmatch. This is the first game for the iPhone/iPod touch that I have played that you can play online against other people. DinoSmash has an optimized graphics engine that runs at 30-40 fps (frames per second). You can grab different weapons and devastate your enemies with various different attacks. An overall well put together game that can give you some fun when you’re bored.

If you are looking for a new game for your iPhone or iPod Touch, then this is the one.

You will have lots of fun playing against others around the world!

As a fan of Prince of Persia this one interests me. Prince of Persia originates from a video game that has had many different titles that have been featured on the Playstation 2/3, Xbox and Xbox 360, and in earlier versions on the Gamecube. The movie will be based on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time game and will hit theaters nationwide on May 28th, 2010. As we all know video game movies are being made in a mass amount now and many of them have failed to be a good movie. I guess we’ll find out if the director Mike Newel (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) can pull off a good video game adaptation to the big screen. The movie is being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean, CSI), so hopefully the two can pull off something that will finally succeed.

The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, and Toby Kebbell.

I look forward to seeing more information about this, and seeing it in theaters.

Well according to everything that I have read in the past few days a Warcraft movie is going to be made. Sam Raimi has agreed and signed on to direct the movie, as well as Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment are trying to get it off the ground and get a start on it. The movie could have some potential with the mystical story of the Alliance vs. Horde and the tension between the two, but it could also be like a lot of video game movies that have come out and not done so well.

I guess we’ll find out in the near future.

Well it has been a while since I have played No More Heroes, but I do remember that it is a great game for the Wii that I spent many hours playing. As I said in an earlier post when it comes to Wii games you are mostly limited to games aimed at a younger audience. Of course many of those games like the Super Mario franchise are great games and are just amazing for all ages, but when you have a Wii you get enough of those games and want to play something more geared for adults, something with some gore, and some story and a bit of style. No More Heroes is about man becoming an assassin/hitman who wants to become the number one assassin and be known for it. You fight your way through many “bad guys” and a difficult boss like most games. What makes this game different is the variety of combo’s that you can do while you fight and the story involved. The game play is somewhat similar to GTA (Grand Theft Auto) in the fact that when you are not fighting you are driving around town in your awesome motorcycle doing work, and finishing missions. The overall style of this game is unique and holds its own to any single player game where you go and “beat” people. The game shouldn’t be played by your young one’s because of graphic content and language, but if you are an adult you will appreciate the style of this game.

If you have a Wii and are looking for a good one player game that you can sit down for hours playing, then this is the one.

Enjoy your rise to the top.
