Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans review.

January 25, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Films No Comments →

Love and revenge against the vampire overlords brings war. Another very simple storyline at heart but a well developed film with meaning and lots of brutality. The Lycans were developed from a werewolf who so happens to have a human offspring. This new half breed which is stronger and more intelligent and less raw than the traditional werewolf was created as a slave force. However as it always goes with slaves in all paths, is that they will revolt.

As soon as the forbidden love is discovered the little cross-plot spawns, revenge comes swift in the form of a werewolf-Lycan army. So the dark scenes has body-parts and blood crawling every inch of the set and before you know it, that is it. It’s back to the end of where Underworld 2 started, which is back in the future. It kind of points of a 4th possible film, but one will have to wait and see.

Role Models review.

January 25, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Films No Comments →

So you have two characters that are going around to schools to promote a drink right up till they manager to drive their 4×4 into a school statue. Then they have to do community service which so happens to end up having to help some kids that are out of place in today’s reality.

There were lots of fun and enjoyment to be had with the film and the mock fantasy battles which they all take place in looks like an enjoyable day out.

Role Models is well played out, although I felt the profanity was a bit much at times and the tits… well… I didn’t mind those so much. But there seemed to be a lot of it. The story and cast was very well executed and the ones that are suppose to irritate you did a good job at that.

I am very much a fan of the geek along with the fictional kingdom. The relationship between the characters could have been stronger and certain elements could have been shorter. The length of the film was about right although more could be said. In the end it is very basic one guy gets his girl all get along. A bit too convenient of an ending.

The Godfather (PS2) Review.

January 03, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Games No Comments →

At the start of the game your characters father is the demo and dies right in front of you. It was a futile tutorial with controls that felt a little funny and very untraditional. Once I got the hang of things it started to feel better and the game started to evolve.

The thing that gets me is that the game feels too much like Grand Theft Auto. Navigation, the little compass in the corner, weapons, cars, kills, missions and contracts. Mind you, the cars were very lacking, being the fact there was only about five different cars across the whole of New York.

The game is quite a vast world to run around in and once you have done everything, which should take around 45 hours worth of game play. There is little left to do than shelf it.

So the graphics are good, the gameplay is a little left to be desired but works effectively well. The music is from the original Godfather. The cast have added most of the original voices. The buildings felt recycled across the board, hotels are all similar to each other, compounds and buildings are all very much the same. Even the same person can walk beside the same person!

The funniest thing has to be when you are charging round in a car, the people will be a hundred yards away from you and try to die out of the way. And why would there be so much crap on the roads. Surely only cars should be there!

A very enjoyable game in it’s own way, but at times can be very sickly. Although a gene I do like, I don’t have much emotion for this and hence I probably score it a little low of what I could give.
