Well I've been glued to my screen over the last few days. My local electronics store was having a sale and quite a few Xbox 360 games were going for cheap. Unfortunately, the only games which I was interested in were Army of Two and Need For Speed: Undercover. So far I'm pretty happy with them both, although I'll have to admit, EA makes pretty average games - I don't think I've ever been blown away by an EA as I have consistently from the likes of 2K, Bethseda and the like. 
 
Army of Two is good so far. The combat is a bit sparse compared to other games, and indeed a bit repetitive, but the great allied AI and interesting combat options make it worth the while. A bit reminiscent of games such as Time Crisis or those old shooters you might find in an arcade, due to the outlandish evil masterminds and enemies. This is both a blessing and a curse. 
 
NFS:Undercover is a bit more disappointing as yet. Having played Need For Speed: Most Wanted to death, I have to say that Undercover feels a bit more like the less-awesome, more streamlined retarded brother. It's still a great game, at least until I buy NFS: Hot Pursuit, but yes, I expect a lot more considering it is several games since Most Wanted. The good parts however do include a much better driving system, but this is offset by the terrible/unoriginal plot and boring police chases. 
 
Even with all these new games, I still managed to pry myself away from the Xbox screen to another - I got dragged to see The Black Swan today by my mother. Ungh! A film on ballet dancing? Wow, you just redefined my definition of BORING. HOWEVER! I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, to tell the truth, it's easily the bloodiest movie I've seen all year. AND I got to see that chick from That 70's Show and Natalie Portman DATY, or clean the carpets, or however you put it - yes, probably the best piece of cinema I've witnessed in a while. Boy, they sure do know how to make a film for both guys AND girls! Phew! So, if you're a guy and you have a girlfriend, allow yourself to experience one of those few times when you can enter into a win-win situation with her, and take her to see The Black Swan. Seriously... You won't be disappointed. *Huge grin*

Huge grin, eh? Lesbian Lovin', eh?
 
EDIT: fuck, the picture disappeared >.> 
 
EDIT: Nevermind... anywhoo I've been pretty intrigued with Black Swan for a while. Haven't been to the cinema in ages, though I don't think Black Swan'll be the movie to take me back. I'll definitely check it out on DVD one day.

People see Most Wanted as some sort of golden age of the NFS-series but all Most Wanted had was those insane cut scenes. I love Underground 1 and 2, but I'll be the first to admit that it's just because I was so into Fast and Furious and putting neon on Japanese cars. The newest one seems great though. Burnout are great games, even if they've gone downhill since Burnout 3 IMO.

@dagas: Yes I agree. Burnout Paradise was a sham. Most wanted WAS cool though. The police chases were awesome.

I wish both of them bitches would eat a sandwich.  They're way too skinny in that movie.  And I think (or used to think) Natalie Portman was pretty sexy.
 
It all went downhill when her hair got long again.

@Brodehouse: Whaaattt??? Natalie Portman looked her hottest in that movie dude! When she had short hair she looked like a young boy. Unless that's what you're into... ; ) 
 
Ballerinas are supposed to be skinny. They're... ballerinas!

@SpawnMan: This is absolutely true. Ballet dancers pretty much universally conform to that specific body type. Fred Astaire, the greatest dancer of the past 100 years, was skinny as a rail.

@john2020: My brain broke trying to read that sentence.

EDIT: Oh, suddenly it makes sense. Flagged.
