Movie Review: Transformers

My wife and I went to see Transformers last night with Steve and Laura. I was going into the movie half excited and half hoping it would be good. I was excited because I have always loved the Transformers cartoons when I was younger, and I have been looking forward to this movie ever since I heard about it a year or so ago. From critic reviews I was a bit hesitant about the film. But, after sitting through each action packed scene, I could decide for myself. This movie was, pardon my internet ettiquette, SOOOOOOO AWESOME! Seeing the father of all robots, Optimus Prime, transform into the 40-foot giant that he is, was exhilerating; and then to see him duke it out with Megatron was even more exciting. Michael Bay did a great job at giving each of the Autobots and Decepticons a personality that the audience could relate to. This is a movie I wil want to see many times again. Good job Mr. Bay!

WOTD: Halo: Combat Evolved

Halo. My favorite game. The story mode in itself has a lot to offer, but the Multiplayer Mode is where all the fun is at. There's nothing like getting together with all my friends and virtually duking it out in MJOLNIR armor wielding Energy Swords and Rocket Launchers.

Ever since November 15th, 2001 my life hasn't been the same. Yeah there have been great video games, but not like Halo. Graphically it's not the greatest, and it's definitely not a historically correct shooter, but it is (in my opinion) the funnest. Reason: Not a lot of complicated controls like some of the war shooters, not too detailed so it allows for easy analysis of your surroundings, and the Warthog is so fun to drive!
