So the demo is out. Is it any good? No. It feels and looks like the same game as 2K10. The magnetic player interaction and linked animations are back. They did not fix it, like they said they would. And, you can only play as the Lakers. What is that? Andrew Bynum and Ray Allen look incredibly ugly and nothing like their RL counterparts. I am very disappointed in the demo. If it's indicative of the final game, I will not get 2K11; I was going to buy it, too, because of Michael Jordan

Abandoned is an okay movie. The story is okay, but Brittany Murphy is very ugly. Her fake lips are okay when she's talking or smiling, but when she has a blank stare, you can really tell her lips are fake and slightly uneven. I was very offended and repulsed by her fake lips. It turned an intriguing movie into an almost unwatchable one. All I can think about are her fake lips. Attention, Wal-Mart shoppers: do not ever get fake lips. Thank you.

So I got all 30 Crystal Skulls in Ninja Gaiden 2 and all I got was gamerpoints and this gamerpic: FML

I just beat Ninja Gaiden 2 for Xbox 360. It's a fantastic video game - the best action game of the generation. Buy it now at newegg.com .

1. Cancel - Everything is a cancel. Cancel, cancel, cancel. Every game has a cancel of some kind. It may be the best term for it, but it's overused and I'm sick of reading it.

Yeah, I was very disappointed in this game. It took me 26 minutes to beat it, most of it on the final form of the boss. I didn't know you were supposed to use ARS to beat it, so I would go in and out of cover and fire for a few seconds, only to wait much longer under cover until it stopped firing at me. It was so tedious, and the NPCs were absolutely worthless, save for one who gave me ammo. The graphics look sick in trailers, but it didn't look sick IRL. The voice acting was so bad, especially Sam Gideon's. I don't like him as a character either: a white, former jock quarterback who smokes cigarettes? Um, no thanks. That totally doesn't appeal to me. If this game had multiplayer, it'd be much better, but of course it doesn't. I can't see this game offering anything more than a $20 bargain bin experience of playing it once and forgetting about it. It doesn't have the inventory system of a Resident Evil 4 or 5. It seems to have a weapon upgrade system...

Capitalism is high school. It's all it is. It's competition. It's doing things you don't want to do so that other people will like you. Even the nerdy, unpopular ones, especially the overachieving people - they're doing things so that other people will like them. These people are the admissions people at colleges. "Look at me! I do extracurricular activities! Pick me to be in your college!" Screw that. I never kissed ass or performed fellatio for anything in my life. I will never beg for anything. Money is garbage. Having an economic system based on money is incredibly dumb, especially for America, which has so much natural resources. We are wasting our time competing over one another while those with the money are prostitutes and vacationing on tropical islands. We need to abolish money and go back to a barter economy and grow our own food.

Bioshock? More like Biosh..! I decided to give this game a second chance and it was okay, but I just don't like it. First of all, you have to explore the environment to pick up important things like plasmids, tonics, ammo, health and money, to things like potato chips, alcoholic drinks and cigarettes (I know that these drugs restore health and EVE as well). I wouldn't mind if you just had to press the "A" button or whatever, but you have to look at the thing, and then press the "A" button. It's annoying. You spend half the time looking down at the ground instead of the levels. It's just tedious. I hate looting things in a video game, especially a console game. Borderlands, not only being an ugly game, had a tedious loot system that had you pressing the loot button 50 million times and making decisions. "Hmm, is this piece of loot better than that piece of loot?" In PC games, it's better because you can use a mouse, but with console ga...
