I have to hand it to Zack Snyder. For a commercial director to take a geek property like Watchmen, direct a 3 hour movie that remains faithful to the comic and succeeds in creating a great film. I loved Watchmen through and through. No, it's no Dark Knight or Spider-Man 2 but it's not supposed to be. It's a different film in and of itself but I think that's mainly because Snyder may have been too faithful to the comic. You see Dave Gibbons' laid out the story in a certain that really only works in that medium. To truly appreciate the story and pacing you must read the comic. I think that might be the reason the film isn't doing as well as it should. But then again I think fans would be outraged if a he deviated from the comic too much. That being said I am still having a hard time viewing the film as someone who hasn't read the comic. Even still, I think in the end this is everything a fan could truly ask for. Oh and Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach really impressed me. I mean he played Rorschach almost exactly I pictured how Rorschach would be if he was real. I LOVED IT! One questionable call that I still can't decided whether it was a great decision or not was the end. To make Dr. Manhattan the fall guy deviated from the space octopus concept from the comic. Now I realize the space octopus was a bit ridiculous but what I found interesting is that the world was willing to come together when they realized that America's weapon (Manhattan) destroyed multiple cities. Why would the soviets sympathize with America, I mean if anything that should further intensify their hate for America. I dunno, that was just a minor quibble I had.

Rating : FIVE Hurms out of FIVE!

Street Fighter 4 is hard to play with a controller.

Killzone 2 has finally arrived! A game thought to be : THE PS3 SAVIOR, THE HALO KILLER, THE BEST GAME EVERER!!!11!!1 After playing it for several hours I can confirm that it is a wonderful little game. However, like most, I'm having trouble acclimating myself to the controls! I understand the design decision but when I miss my mark by literally inches every time it starts to get irritating! Regardless of that fact I am finding myself enjoying SP more that most. That is because I actually like the lightweight story telling. As for the lines, there is not much left to say.

Flower at the opposite end of the spectrum has also been taking up some of my game time. Actually not much at all since I was able to finish it in about two hours. But that short experience left relaxed and calm. The last level especially left me all tingly inside.
