It started out as small things, like jumping on pipes, owls and bricks with sister. Delivering newspapers on bike while dodging random idiots and whatnots. Rode with unicycle made out of rock, blew bubbles, skied or I'd die. Then it got more intense. I had to make long and challenging journeys just to figure out that the princess was in another castle, save the whole dreamland from nightmares, wrestle my way to championship, jump with a walking stick on a moon, defeat a vampire lord, or fight my way through bunch of mogwais to reach their leader. But that too was just a beginning. Just in more than ten years I've notched up my schedule, as I've lead armies against race that was certain to doom all life in the universe. I've wanted to be a pirate and defeated an undead pirate captain several times, caught swashbuckling with rhyming taunts, escaped a haunted mansion filled with restless souls, rode down the setting sun on a prarie, survived the hatred of three criminal gangs between their war, survived the apocalypse with just a pocket knife at start, been in ranks of marines discovering unknown threats from outer world, spread my hive's wealth in the name of the queen from borders of space to another, hunt the most dangerous hunt of all times, saved innocents from criminals masked in disguise, developed super powers from laboratory incident, flew among birds with my forgotten wings when thrown down from the heavens, chasing down the one who did me wrong, survived death and hell so many times I've lost count, crushed gods of Olympus with my bare hands, discovered long lost buildings and cultures, tried to survive the radiation over third world war, discovered a lineage of assassins centuries old, dropped an airplane on my friend while having a driving contest on an airport, and many many other events. If I'd thank books about these, certainly most common people would nod with approval, but instead I'm proud to say that I have lived these experiences through games. They are not real, you say. They are for children only you say. They are real thoughts coming from real people, real adults, real people working hard for years to spread their stories all over the world, sharing their dreams, sharing their thoughts, showing beauty that are hidden in their mind whether by visually or audibly. They have not just brought colours to my life, they have saved one person's life, stopped one's hatred and shown them guilt, brought a smile on people's face, and shed tears of sadness and joy. They've become a modern way of passing journeys of legends, what has long long time ago, in a galaxy far away started just on a campfire. I do not shame for playing games and seeing their beauty that some do not understand. I do not shame for sharing these stories with my fellow heroes. Games. Because sometimes you just want to be part of the story.

One of these games that are an attempt to increase marketing by the side of the movie. Not that bad if you pay 20e of it.

-Too short.
-Too little things to do.
-I wanna play a Terminator for crying out loud!

The idea was nice, but it all went downhill the moment undeads, demons and gadgets came along. No idea how's the fouth part's going to be. Bit amazed that it actually managed to go that far.

Rants: TBA

Commanding an army with your voice has its own fun factor. In the end it was just a big paper-rock-scissors game 3D.

-Never have I shout Bravo in my apartment that many times. And I'm not talking about some bedroom games.
-You really have to articulate your English as well as you can. BRA! VOGUE!

It's nice that they continue the story and stuff, but I think the previous game was better. The fact that they have better physic engine makes the gaming more enjoyable. Basically for those who are fans of Brittish and Tomb Raiders.

-What happened to the controls? They were so smooth in the previous one! Did the injury drop my dexterity with a score or something!?!
-At some point it was really confusing. Never ever have I needed to check from internet for a walkthrough that many times. Like, three times in one episode? Argh!

I'm not a fan of sport games, but the controls of this game hooked me for some reason. And after battling many many matches, I finally won the opponent, and it felt sooo rewarding and good. Only played the demo.

-I still haven't mastered the controls! I suck!
-I still haven't purchased the game! I suck!
-The tutorial could've been more describing.

Machines are nice, agile machines are nice too. Autobots, assemble!

-Why there are freaking time limits!?! And for being agile machines, why you're so clumsy!?!
-When there's always a chance for a nice game, someone always manages to blow it. This applies so many times in movie based games.

Actually, I'm not going to even buy this game, just a hilarious side note thanks to Bunnyslug that Disney and distribute something as bloody as Turok. Tried the demo, it was ok.

-You're not advertising Velociraptor Awareness Day! (I know, a cheap shot, but that's because I've only played the demo and had to rant about something.)

This small rant is only based on demo only. Nice controls. Like someone said, sweaty men dry humping each others.

-I can only guess there's still no signs of wing tsun/chun.
-Sounds like there aren't that many martial arts in the game. More!
-UFC rules, no kicking in head when opponent is down. Meh.

Good acting, o.k. story, nice graphics, nice music, entertaining. A good base example for what games should be like.

-Again with El Dorado?
