The Adjustment BureauIf you haven’t yet seen The Adjustment Bureau I highly recommend you get a copy of it. I don’t really want to give the plot away, but I will say it is a love story disguised as a Sci-Fi movie or vice-versa depending on how you want to look at it. Matt Damon stars as David Norris who wants to be with a girl no matter who or what gets in his way. I give the movie a 9.3.


River Song

River SongSo now that we know who River Song (Melody Pond, get it?) is, there are so many questions. Namely does River Song and The Doctor hook up? Is River Song going to be the next companion? It seems unlikely to me that Amy & Rory are actually going to raise a child on the TARDIS so I really think this will be the last season that Karen Gillan is on the show. Even though I have already stated I want David Tenant and Billie Piper back on Doctor Who I am actually looking forward to River Song being a companion on the show. Hopefully it will happen.


True Blood Drink

True Blood DrinkI recently picked up the True Blood drink for the season 4 premiere. I must say it was a really good drink. It has caffeine, but not more than a soda. It has a sweet tangy taste. I highly recommend picking one up. They are kind of expensive so it is a bit more of a novelty item, especially if you are having a True Blood viewing party.


Ten Hundred BadgeFoursquare has a new badge out. The Ten Hundred Badge. You get it for checking in more than 1,000 times. So yes that means on your 1,001 checking you should unlock it.


Spider-Man Shattered DimensionsI recently picked up Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. It is a pretty good game. It is very remnant of Batman: Arkham Asylum. There are lots of thugs you can work on getting combos on and has achievements just like the Batman game. It also has Spider sense view which is just like Detective Mode in Batman: Arkham Asylum in both good and bad ways. The Spider Sense view lets you focus on the enemies, objects to pick up and places to go. But just like in the Batman game going into this view it hides all the great colors in the game which is really disappointing. I think the developers put a lot of time into making the game look great and you spend more than 80% of the game not being able to enjoy it. Spider Sense also lets you detect oncoming trouble or where you should break down a wall. A lot of the game is standard stuff. Move through a level collect items that you can use to power up your character.

In the game you play as 4 different Spider-Men. The Amazing Spider-Man is voiced by Neil Patrick Harris.

In the game you play 13 different bosses. I won’t mention them all so as to not spoil it, but I will mention one. Carnage. I love Carnage. I have since he was first introduced in the comics, but he rarely shows up and you usually get Venom instead. Don’t get me wrong I love Venom too, but I guess since Carnage doesn’t show up as often it nice to see him and I enjoy his appearances more. One final cameo I will mention is Spider-Ham. Great to see the developers of this game really throwing in a lot of characters.

One thing I didn’t like about this game, that really a lot of games suffer from, is Spider-Man’s little quips to the enemies can get repetitive really quick, especially if you lose to a boss and have to play him again (not that I did that :-) )

Overall it is a game worth picking it up and I would give it an 8.5.
