I rate this a 2.5 out of 5.
There are just so many games like Halo out now. Much like Quake, in the beginning there were no games like Halo. And I liked Halo a lot more then. I used to like Halo a whole lot, and play with my little bro Halo 2 split screen on a small TV. Now Halo 3 has so many different alternates out there. I did like the story mode and at least know what Halo means (I never played a Halo campaign until now). The FOV felt a bit weird. During the Cortana campaign I couldn't figure out if the zombie aliens were coming from the left or right.

X360: 50 cent: Blood on the sand
Rate this a 3.5 out of 5.
Played the game on Easy and finished the thing on 1 night. Playing 50 cent as a hardcore street guerrilla gangstar in the middle of a streetwar-torn corrupt middle eastern country. The gameplay and controls are just like Gears of War 2 - the setting is just different. I did enjoy the 50 cent tracks while playing. The beat just makes the game more enjoyable.

X360: Xmen Origins: Wolverine
Finished Wolverine and I feel like I played God of War, in the Marvel Universe. Is this the new way action adventure games are now? I know God of War is good, and in the beginning this felt like God of War for the XBox 360. But I'm not one to play an adventure game more than once but I went through the whole ordeal and finishing the game, and I don't think that I'll be changing that anytime soon.
So that black guy in the movie that can disappear was actually Nightcrawler's father? The storyline is much different than movie even though this was a tie-in and I learned a little more abt the Marvel Universe.
The camera is easy to follow and and I didn't get a headache playing the game. As you go on per level its really difficult to get lost. The Feral Rage (Wolverine Ability) gives you directions on where to go. Nothing confusing, just a bloody bash of thousands of enemies while you are almost invincible.
The controls are easy to learn. X Attack button, Y stronger attacks, B is throw, A is Jump. One button for mutant powers, another for targeting. Etc etc. Easy to learn.
Attack! Attack sequence looks cool! Attack again, and exact same cool attack sequence!. The gameplay is direct yet sometimes repetitive. This is compensated with new sequences as the character levels up and learns new attacks, but there are just SO MANY ENEMIES that you see the same thing again and again.
Did I mention that this is common in most action adventure games?
The attacks are limited as you go on through the level, and when you do a grab - for example - you see about 2-3 grab sequences. Attacks of enemies also look the same. There is one Accomplishment where you get to reverse the Shotgun to someone's head 25 times, but I had to see and do the exact same sequence 25 times. Woohoo! We get to see how Wolverine kills an enemy again, and again, and again.
The action is nonstop. Not that much need for blocking, just attack away at the enemies.Remember, Wolverine isn't known as a defensive person, but he just bashes away at enemies. He should learn to defend a bit more.
The puzzles aren't confusing. Like I said, you won't get lost. Like God of War, there is an indicator in your Feral Rage mode telling you what to go in which directions. Most of the puzzles are simple enough.
Overall, Wolverine's claws actually do cut in this game. A lot of repetitive actions (basically there's too many enemies that you'll see the same thing anyway), and a lot of gore. Think God of War, (especially graphics and gameplay), but Wolverine instead of Kratos, Marvel Universe instead of Greek Mythology. Its just horrible how video games try to make actions so realistic, especially with the amount of blood and violence. So much gore when killing enemies.

ನೈಟ್ ಅಟ್ ದಿ ಮುಸಯೂಮ್ 2
Rate this movie a 2.2.
Improvement from the first. The bad guys look ridiculous, the charcaters played cute, most of the movie seems cartooney, and the comedic dialog is laughable at best. Night at the Museum 2 is a typical family fantasy with the historic elements, again. More interesting elements were added (since they were at the Smithsonian). Amelia was adorable though.

ಅನ್ಗೆಲ್ಸ್ ಅಂಡ್ Demons
I'd rate this a 2.0
Angels and Demons. The sequel to the Da Vinci code. I didn't see this first. This movie is like another National Treasure: Connect the dots with facts. Thing is, who knows Catholic history? Compared to National Treasure and some facts about the USA, only a really religious historian would know things here (or maybe a Vatican City tourist). I felt like this movie was a Sunday School movie.
