I bought Devil May Cry 4 yesterday and Ninja Gaiden Black on Thursday. I hope these action games will keep me entertained long enough for Bayonetta to release.

 This demo is beyond words.

Okay here's a few quick impressions about what my opinion on the demo.
+ Gameplay was extremely tight and well done. I love being able to quickly cancel a move into something else, it adds a whole new layer of depth and strategy. Plus it feels extremely fluid and flows well. Controls work great.

+ Witch Time and Torture Attacks are another thing I really, really liked. They implemented a great way to acquire Witch Time instead of just doing a certain number of combos and it activates itself. Really well done.

+ I noticed the music is very awesome too. That J-Pop song adds so much style and personality while Devil May Cry games have those metal tracks I don't really care about, this was a nice change of pace. Oh, and the music during the running part was also very well done.

+ Graphics look much smoother when you're playing and not looking at a screenshot. The game runs so fluidly that you will never notice a shitty texture or something. It looks almost as good as Devil May Cry 4 graphically.

+ Level design is another thing that caught my eye. They have a lot of stuff going on at once and it really makes it feel more epic. The demo was a bunch of awesome setpieces in one, and if the game retains this quality through the whole, that would be astounding.

- It might just be me, but the voice acting was kinda bad.

- At times, the framerate kinda dipped down. It's annoying, but still very playable.

All in all, it is REALLY looking to be THE best action title this gen, by a good amount. Day one buy for me, onward to launch!

What's up GiantBomb? I haven't been on much since school started, I'll try and be more active. I like my classes, they are really good this semester. I'm a Senior in HS btw. Games-wise I have been LOVING Pokemon SoulSilver, Disgaea DS, and TWEWY. God I love Amazon, their deals are amazing. Been watching some anime and looking forward to buying some Manga the upcoming days. I really like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Soul Eater, and Code Geass recently. What's up with you guys?

Game looks amazing! Play-Asia shipped my copy last night and it should be arriving in a week. That is all.

So I went and saw Inglorious Basterds today. Here is my review... 
 
 

Inglourious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino's latest effort in the world of cinema. This is what you would classify as an "Art Film" and that's what it is. It has the signature Tarantino style and flair you expect from his movies. The film is broken up into five chapters much like Kill Bill. Each chapter is it's own short movie ranging from 20-30 minutes. These chapters and huge amount of characters all come together in the final scene which is by far the longest.

There isn't a bad performance in the movie. Christoph Waltz playing Colonel Hans Landa steals the show. The man deserves an Oscar for his performance. I was anxious about Brad Pitt's role but by the end of the movie, I loved his character. Aldo Raine is a true movie badass. Melanie Laurent plays Shosanna Dreyfus, the lovely femme fatale who has a plot too take down the nazis. Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, and even Mike Myers among others are there for the ride as well.

The cinematography is really well done and a lot of odd camera angles are used but that is Tarantino's style. The violence and gore is still there and is set up quite nicely. Inglourious Basterds has a great soundtrack like all the other QT films. A lot of clever word-play and film references all around.

Basically, this movie lived up too the hype and is QT's best offering since Pulp Fiction, and for good reason. If you love cinema and have a passion for movies, you're doing yourself a favor by watching Inglourious Basterds. This is my favourite movie of '09 and I don't see anything beating it. Congrats Quentin, you did it again.
