Ok, I got two reviews here to give you all my two cents on two new releases over the past two weeks. The new Transformers movie, and the new fighting game, BlazBlue.

First off, lets get the big one out of the way. I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on the first day. Now that the shock has finaly subsided, I think I can make my review. Although I may still need to see it another time to have any solid opinions, here's what I think....

This seems to be a movie that people either like or hate, but not love. I myself think this movie is entertaning, and a good watch. But it's defenatly not Oscar material. The movie has it's moments, but then there are some things that just make me thing "WTF". For example, if you have ever seen Batman Begins, you probably know of the "close up" fights that were in that movie. The last 30 minutes of this Transformers movie is like that. It's hard to tell who's getting hit, who's getting killed, etc...

Also, there's a part with Devestator that, well, without giving anything away, is just a little wrong. And there is a bit of drug humor in the begining of the movie. Make me wonder how this got away with PG-13.

Regardless, it's hard to review this movie until I see it again. But, it seems no two people agree if it's good or bad. So all I can say is to see it yourself, and make up your own mind on it.



Now on to a game review. I'm sure some of you out there are Guilty Gear fans, and as such, you may be looking forward to (or already own) BlazBlue. Now, I got this game, and I must say this is one fun fighting game. The controls for it are well done. But it may take a little time to get a handle on each character. But once you do, you will find this game as rewarding as Street Fighter II. The graphics are the closest thing to an interactive anime as you can get, and beg to be played on an HD TV. And the music is something that you will really enjoy.

However, despite the production in this game, the story is a little confusing. No matter how many ending you get in Story Mode, or how may characters you play as in Arcade Mode, there are just things that don't make too much sence.

Regardless, this is a game that anyone who is a fan of fighting games owes themself to own. And since the fact that the Limited Edition of the game is a four disk set with soundtrack and tutotial DVD, for the same price as a standard version, you have to buy this game.

I give BlazBlue an A. This is a great game you must own.
