Saints Row 2

 

Damn, I'm just churning out reviews today.
Saints row 2 is a sandbox 3rd person shooter developed by Volition and published by THQ. Though to many this may seem like a GTA knockoff, that simply just isn't the case. The story revolves around you, the nameless protagonist, awaking from a coma to find that your gang has completely disappeared. Your goal is to rebuild it and dominate all of stillwater. With help from old allies as well as new ones you can eventually rule this town.
Regardless of what it may seem like, this game is anything but serious. While a lot of the story has a serious tone, when you just explore the world, you can have one of the most ridiculous and fun gaming experiences ever. From naked skydiving to driving around and murdering a litterer for a cop show, this game is crazy for the sake of entertainment. Cheats (yes, cheats) are a very interesting way to spice up your gameplay. Imagine walking around with an unlimited ammo rpg shooting at everything that moves while wearing a zombie mask and having the never die cheat enabled. You can essentially turn this game into your own personal weapon-capable zombie simulator. Customization gets crazy too. From being able to add spikes to your wheels to knock out any nearby pedestrians, or making your entire gang dress like ninjas or businessmen. This game never gets boring with the multitude of different things available. With a great list of activities and a hilarious script behind it, this game is definitely one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it.

Troll 2

Well, this is a bold step. I'm writing my first review on what is considered to be one of the worst films of all time.
Here goes.
Troll 2 is (supposedly) a horror film. The film was written directed by Claudio Fragasso. The main plot of the film involves a family moving to a small town called Nilbog (it's goblin backwards!!!) where only the son can see what's going on around them. With help from his grandfather's ghost (who tends to show up in the wrong room) the boy discovers that the town is infested by vegan goblins, dead set on turning the family into plants in order to consume them.
This film is undoubtedly horrible. The production quality as well as the writing and score are atrocious and lack any relevance to the events. Regardless of its shortcomings, however large they may be, this movie is hilarious. The sheer stupidity of the film makes it one of the most entertaining I've ever seen. The film begins with a "suspenseful" chase through the woods set to the a very "appropriate" dance-pop song. The scenes just get worse, and many are forever ingrained in the viewer's mind., from a scene where the son urinates on his family's dinner in order to save them from being turned to plants, to the infamous "OH MY GOD!" scene (just watch it). Everything about this film tells me to hate it and put it off as the worst thing I've ever seen. But its campy stupidity gives it a special place in my heart, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good laugh.

Welcome to the Digital World

You've probably been roaming around this barren expanse for a while, but I'd like to introduce you to my little snippet of the world. In this blog I will write movie,TV, and game reviews. No particular criteria on what I review, but if i watch or play it, I shall review it. On occasion I may write book, comic, etc. reviews, but not nearly as often. Hope you return to the blog, as I will be posting pretty soon. Thank you for your time, and enjoy your visit.
