Marcus wrote a post about Iron Man’s suit and the feasibility of it and as you may have guessed we won’t be getting our hands on a suit anytime soon. We are looking forward to getting into a cushy movie theater to see Iron Man very soon though. Some initial reviews have been released and it looks promising. Read Marcus’s post here

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the site experienced some downtime as we changed DNS servers. Before we changed servers though for some reason the site lost all of its CSS styling, but that seems to have resolved by itself so who knows what Gremlins were messing around with the servers.

Halo 3 is (obviously) the third and final (doubt it) game in the extremely popular Halo trilogy, and as such, it had a lot to live up to. The question is; did it live up to the expectations? Well…Yes..but it didn’t really surpass them either. It’s more or less the same as the other 2 games with a few new additions and better graphics.

Gameplay-wise, not much has changed from the previous installments. It’s still the same, staight-forward “shoot the alien bad guys” gameplay from before…Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, but a little more originality is always welcome at the house of yams. The big innovation, however, is that the game records anything and everything you do, whether it’s a triumphant victory or a humiliating defeat, and allows you to replay them, rewind, fast-forward, pause or any of that fancy stuff. Its a nice addition to the game but when it comes right down to it it really doesn’t add much to the actual gameplay.

Multi-player is, as always, where Halo shines. Chances are you’ll play the campaign mode for a while, get bored (with all those plot holes and whatnot) and go straight to xbox live. Some glitches are still present (why is it when I pistol whip the back of this guy’s head I’m the one who dies?!) but it’s a small price to pay for how much fun it is to frantically take your enemies’ flag back to your base while bullets fly over head. The aforementioned camera is also most fun when reviewing your past online matches.

Graphic-wise Halo 3 is easily the best looking Halo game, all of Master Chief’s armor looks smooth N’ shiny, the people look more realistic, grass blows in the wind, all that jazz. The music is high quality as well, even if most of it is recycled from before.

So all in all Halo 3 is a very fun game, but its basically Halo 2 on xbox 360. So if you like Halos 1 and 2, then you will like Halo 3, but if Halo isn’t your cup of tea, may I suggest Gears of War?

Master Chief is still a stupid name…..

For 18 years people have waited to see everyone’s favorite animated, non prehistoric family on the big screen…and the results couldn’t be more disappointing. The Simpsons movie is more of a dragged out episode than an actual movie( if this were the days of “Mr. Plow” or “Marge vs. the monorail” that would not be such a bad thing, But the quality of the simpsons has vastly decreased since then). There isn’t anything that really seems ”Simpsons Movie” about it. There’s no show altering events, no major character deaths, no real changes in humor, all we get is some unfunny Irish kid and the unlaughable spider-pig(its NOT funny).

The movie itself is also as unfunny as the past several seasons, I can only really remember two or three scenes that I actually found funny. The rest is just the same poorly thought out, forced humor that has(unfortunately) become to familiar with the once great series. Homer still has his moments, but even he isn’t what he used to be.

Another problem this movie had was that it practically abandoned most of the series’ most memorable characters(with Ned Flanders being the only non-simpson to have more then 3 minutes on screen). I know the Simpsons has far too many characters to focus on them all in one movie, but when you bump Mr. Burns to a one scene appearance, then you have crossed the line!!

Overall the Simpsons movie was a HUGE let down for what it should have been, but with the current state of the series, it comes as no surprise.

There is nothing, NOTHING funny about Spider-pig!!

Spider man 3 is a perfect example of how to take a great movie series….And completely ruin it. Every thing that made the first two movies great is absent from this cinematic train wreck.

The movie just doesn’t know where it’s going, even to the point that it tries to recreate the events of the first film just to squeeze Sandman in. Another villain (Green Goblin 2) that they had built up since the end of the first movie, becomes a roller coaster of personalities, He’s bad!….Now he’s good…He’s bad again!…No wait he’s good! The third villain(Venom) could have been cool had they saved him for Spider-man 4, but they decided 5 minutes of screen time was enough.

The humor from the first two movies has been dumbed down as well. There is a pointless scene that just has Tobey Maguire get an emo haircut and dance around the city for umpteen minutes.

The only highlights I can think of for this movie are good CGI and decent fight scenes, but last I checked it was good story and characters that made a movie and not fancy special effects.

The Yams is not ammused…
