LOTR game

They came out with a RTS(real time strategy) game based on lord of the rings and i got a chance to play it. I must say the animations in this game our very cool. Whether a nazgul is picking up someone and throwing him, a cave troll smaking a group of soldiers, or Gandalf using […]

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Anyone seen the latest from LucasArts ? Star Wars: Republic Commando is a FPS for the XBox. A great game set in the Star Wars universe that doesn’t rely on The Force. More brute force and blasters. The really cool thing is that Temuera Morrison, who voiced Jango Fett in AOTC, is voicing the lead […]

“Because of Winn-Dixie”

“Because of Winn-Dixie” is a ‘family’ movie about a young girl (Opal) and her adjustments to moving to the small community of Naomi in Florida with her preacher father. The title refers to a dog who ‘adopts’ her. Good performances (especially by Annasophia Robb as Opal) and there are some messages. GRADE = “B”
