The Other Guys

                For this blog entry, I’m going to be talking about the movie The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. This is a comedy movie which also has action parts.

                The movie is about Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) that are two men who work for the NYPD but are the least respected ones and do the worst job. Then there are the two popular workers that everyone respect and admire that are P.K. Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Christopher Danson (Dwayne Johnson). The story starts to kick in when P.K. Highsmith and Christopher Danson are in a chase and do the ridicoulus thing you can ever imagine. They jump off a building and commit suicide. When they are dead, Terry Hoitz realizes that this could be an opportunity for him and his partner Allen Gamble to be the popular ones in the NYPD. But they also have some challengers for that spot. Martin (Rob Riggle) and Fosse (Damon Wayans Jr.) are other men that work for the NYPD and want that spot of being the popular ones. The rest of the movie starts to get ridiculously funny while Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz try to do cop work and try to be the popular ones in the NYPD.

                I thought this movie was very funny and I thought the action scenes were well made. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes comedy and action and whoever likes the actor Will Ferrell who is a good actor for comedy movies.

PlayStation Move

               For this blog entry, I’m going to be talking about the new accessory that the Sony PlayStation 3 has released which is the PlayStation Move. This accessory has a white sphere on the top of an almost cylinder figure. At first, I thought the sphere on the top was hard, but when I got it, I found out it was squishy. So when I’m waiting for a game to load, I start to squish it. The only way you can play the PlayStation Move is by having the controller (duh), and a PlayStation Eye which is a camera so that the gamer can have the most realistic gaming experience possible. When playing a game that uses the PlayStation Move, the sphere will have a color. The first player will be pink, which I think is kind of silly because I have to see a pink light next to me every time I play a game. The second player is light blue, the third is yellow, and the last color I know is the fourth player’s one which is dark blue.

                PlayStation hasn’t made many games that the Move is compatible with. But I bet they will make a lot of games where you can use it. The only game I have that uses the Move is Sports Champions. It is like Wii Sports but with better graphics and other sports. The sports that it has are: Disc Golf, Gladiator Duel, Bow and Arrow, Volley Ball, Bocce (Bolas Criollas), and Table Tennis. Some of the sports can be played with two controls which makes the game realistic and fun.

                Hopefully after reading this blog, you will be encouraged to buy the PlayStation Move (with the PlayStation Eye) as well as Sports Champions and other games that might seem interesting to you.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

For this blog entry, I’m going to write about the new first person shooter game, Call of Duty: Black Ops. The game was released on November, 09, 2010. The game can be played on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC and Nintendo DS.

                The main character in Black Ops is a man called Alex Mason who works for the army. The game starts out with Mason being tied up to an electric chair in a small room with someone looking from a window from above. Mason, as well as the person who is playing the game, doesn’t know what is going on. The man in the window asks Mason questions about what happened to him. The missions that the person plays are the flash backs and memories of Mason. While the game progresses, Mason has these numbers stuck in his head and can’t seem to get them out. That is the main thing the man in the window wants from Mason. By the end of the game, the player will find out what the numbers mean, who’s the man behind the window, and another secret which makes a twist in the story.

                Black Ops is an action packed game with a lot of story behind it. The game also has multiplayer mode which can be played split screen or online. In online, Treyarch (the producers of the game) added a new feature called wager matches which I thought was very fun. The last game mode in Black Ops is zombies which is a very fun thing to play. The main thing about zombies is that you have to survive endless waves of the undead. It might sound retarded, but when you play with 3 other people, the game gets hard and fun at the same time. After reading this blog entry, I hope you guys will buy this game and enjoy it as much as I did.
