Thank you for Inception.

After a crushing 4-1 defeat once more at the hands of Germany in the world cup, you’d think that football (soccer) was the last thing on my mind. However, I simply couldn’t ignore the release of the second high profile rendition of the beautiful game to hit the AppStore.

EA have released two games based on their hit FIFA license. Gameloft have done admirably too, but it’s been the two releases from X2 that have stolen the show thus far. So how will Konami fair with Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 for iPhone and ipod Touch?

pes1There are a ton a play options and a bevy of cups to play for, 19 in all, including the European cup, Italian cup, Spanish Cup, UEFA champions league cup and Europa league cup. Konami have added their custom ‘Konami’ Cup, which lets you mix and match any of the cup teams into a dream cup. The Europa cup is the biggest league to play, with 48 teams to play through before cup glory. As well as cups and leagues you can play quick matches which randomly pics two teams to battle it out, or you can choose an exhibition match and choose any two teams from the full roster available. This includes club teams and international teams. So, for example, you could play Liverpool against Spain, creating an interesting doppleganger of Fernando Torres as a striker for both teams!

While the full roster of international teams are available, the same cannot be said for the cup teams. Only Liverpool FC and Wolves are available from the UK, due to licensing, with other teams and the Premier League given fake names instead. I assume EA got the license to use those teams officially on the platform.

A-Team Movie Review

by Sinistar on June 11, 2010

A-Team Movie ReviewName:
A-Team Movie
Starring:
Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel & Patrick Wilson.

I just got back from taking my 2 kids to see the A-Team movie. My 11 year old son was the main reason for our movie outing as he was “dying” to see the A-Team. I thought it was quite odd, since he refuses to sit down and watch any of the old episodes with me.

At the theater, situated between my son and 13 year old daughter, I was preparing myself for another long and boring movie – kinda like the remake of Clash of the Titans (yeah, that movie sucked all around). Little did I know that aside from me waxing nostalgia for a TV show that I really didn’t care too much about but still found myself watching back in the 80′s, is that my biggest surprise was this action movie totally harkens back to the days of Die Hard.

I know it’s still early in the summer movie marathon and Inception is about 4 weeks aways but I will go out on a limb here and proclaim that the A-Team movie will be one of the action movie gems of this summer and probably for years to come. [more]

Max Payne Review

Max Payne was really cool, if you’re into hot babes, tattoos, and you like your shoot-em-ups on the tepid side. I watched the unrated version, and I wonder what all the fuss was about. [more]

Sarah Connor Chronicles

by Salat on February 19, 2009

terminator-sccIt’s a new season is on for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and I have to confess that this is one of my favorite sci-fi series. The writing is way better than you’d expect for a series about assassination cyborgs from the future. [more]
