Let Me In Review

2011-02-14T17:42:00.000-08:00

Runtime: 1 hr 55minutes, rated R Director: Matt Reeves

Plot: A bullied young boy befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian.

Review: Let Me In was a brilliant movie, the story was awesome, it was well paced, had really great acting. I loved this movie if you like Vampires at least a little you'll most likely enjoy Let Me In. The soundtrack was fantastic also. Let Me In is well worth a rental or almost a buy. I thought it was amazing.

At least see the movie once

My Nier Review

2011-02-13T18:02:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's taken me so long to review this game I didn't realize that it was going to be this long of game lol so here's my review:

Plot: The game opens with a prologue during the summer of 2049 during which it is, unusually, snowing. In a modern but dilapidated-looking city, a silver-haired man fends off attacks from ethereal monsters in and around a broken-down grocery store where he is sheltering with his sick daughter, Yonah. Having defeated the last of the monsters, he checks on Yonah, who has begun to cough much worse than before. The man then realizes that Yonah has activated the magical book they carried, against his wishes. Realising this may be fatal for her, he calls out for help, but to no avail.

The game then cuts to 1,312 years later, where the man, named Nier, and his daughter are now living in a thriving village lead by twins Devola and Popola, built upon the ruins of an old town and library; the human population has dwindled, and civilization has reverted to a much simpler form, congregating in villages and working together to protect themselves from the monsters, known to the people as "Shades". Fearing that his daughter's illness is terminal, Nier sets out to look for a cure. Nier Wiki

The plot is amazing now once you get past the first part of the game I am about 12 hours into it and level 18, and I can say that it's one of the best games I have bought for 12 dollars.

The Graphics are pretty freaking sweet and very well done

This is just a Google picture sorry for whoever I borrowed it from lol

The characters have great dialogue and are actually pretty funny at times Kaine, and Grimoire Weiss are my favorites. Emil is ok, but his voice gets annoying lol.

Nier and Yonah

Grimoire Weiss

Kaine

Emil

The gameplay is a great mix between weapons and magic. Finding different words adds a lot more to the fighting.

Here's a quick look at the magic spells

The weapons are spears/two-handed/one-handed/ I'm using Fangs of Twins right now and it's a beastly two handed weapon that takes out huge amounts of shades at a time.

I have way more weapons than this, but I just took a quick screenshot.

All in all Nier is a fantastic game so far that should not be missed for 12 dollars if you can find it on ebay like I did you should buy it. Also tips on making my review better? This is my first one. :) Also remember to save often in Nier, it gets sort of annoying having to do certain parts over.

I'll edit it later, but right now it's 5/5 for me

The Eagle Review

2011-02-11T21:08:00.000-08:00

Plot: In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. IMDB

Review: The Eagle has a really awesome start with Marcus Aquila has to defend the Legionnaires camp from the and defend his families honor. Then it gets slowed down when he is injured which gets kind of boring at least to me after having that epic battle in the Legionary camp. It was a decent movie in the end I don't really want to spoil it much since it just came out today.

Note: I'm eight hours into Nier trying to get through it pretty quick, but it's a pretty tough/long game lol the review might not be until Monday or so sorry :[ also clicks for the review? I'm at 0.00 for today..:[

What are your guys thoughts on this? I think Egypt is going to get a lot worse than before. What's the point of him doing this seriously? Is he just trying to act tough or what? Also link to livestream
