Easily my favorite book so far by Stephenson. Light, easy to read, but with deep ideas, fantastic turns of plot, and a unique and fascinating vision of the future. The characters really come alive, and you cannot help but cheer on the main characters as the story progresses. Read it!

While certainly interesting, the open world layout of this game only serves as a horrible annoyance while trying to complete missions on later levels. I very much enjoyed the attempt at originality, but the concepts did not work well in practice. Great early gameplay quickly turned to frustration for me.

Fantastic brawler, especially for the low download price. Great fun for four friends in co-op with the excitement of classic arcade brawlers like Gauntlet and Golden Axe, but with updated graphics and plenty of humor. A few bugs to be fixed in an update are the only downside.

A mediocre shooter with very repetitive gameplay. While the game started off well, by about 5 hours in I was thoroughly bored. OK as a rental, but I do not recommend purchase.

For the first half of the movie, Hancock takes a great premise and executes it with humor and originality. However, about midway through, the whole thing crumbles under a terrible story and a misguided and failed attempt to make it meaningful. OK, but far from great.

Vexille is a cg-animated sci-fi action story dealing with the nature of humanity in a world with androids that are almost indistinguishable from humans. Nothing too original or amazing, but a decent watch.

I was a big fan of the Monopoly-meets Magic the Gathering gameplay of the PS2 version of this game, and the XBox360 version is basically the same thing with improved graphics and some new cards. Horrible single player story, but multiplayer is really the point of the game.

This game is mostly a battle version of jenga which takes the premise of knocking down or moving stacks of blocks and milks every possible method of gameplay out of it. Has many fun and interesting levels, but never really gets challenging enough. Needs more multiplayer levels.

One of Pixar's better films. Great fun and will entertain both kids and adults. Pixar succeeds in conveying more emotion and feeling through two voiceless robots than most films do with accomplished actors. Interesting story with a message that never comes across as preachy.

Great comic book movie. The premise is unbelievable and the characters exaggerated, but that is part of what makes comic books fun. This movie successfully captures that feel of a modern superhero comic book story. Loved how the backstory was condensed in the opening credits. Recommend for comic book fans.
