Modern Warfare 2 releases today!



The sequel to one of my favorite games of all times has came back after a few years. Was it worth the wait?

Of course it is! Infinity Ward wouldn't slip up on the success of the first. Honestly I've only played about 40 minutes of Campaign, maybe an hour of multiplayer. I don't use the word "EPIC" often, but it really has been. New weapons, story and multiplayer options, it's all high quality work put into this game.

Ill post my final thoughts later. Not that my review would matter, you already have this game.

Dead Space Xbox 360



Awesome game. This game does everything well, great atmosphere, sound, challenge, graphics and controls. The story is decent, but nothing ground breaking. Basically kill all creatures that attack you. In space!

Enemies will have different strategies, tactics and powers. You have an a selection of upgradeable weapons and ammo. Everything else you will need to find or purchase from stores.

Very few games scare the hell out of you. I never felt comfortable playing, there was always caution around every corner. Had to be careful because you can't just run and gun like some shooters. It's a good change.

Anyway, it's one of the better games you can pick up most places for around $20. Just get it.

1 Month Prepaid Cell Service



I had been on AT&T for at least two years. No problems for the most part. But it was getting too expensive, I mean I don't need a ton of minutes. Paying $60 plus seems like a lot to me for basic cell service. Although I had an additional line added for my parents, which upped the charges.

After my contract was up, I looked into prepaid options. The best deal seems to be Net10-No roaming, 10 cents a minute always, free activation/minutes, and cheap phones.

And I mean cheap. This phone I picked up for $30(free because you get a 300 minute airtime card included) does NOTHING. No web, bad poly ringtones and is absolutely bare bones. What's good about it? It works.

One month and counting. It's a fine service. I think I'll keep it until next year sometime, then look into phones with good data plans/internet access.

Harper's Island



No spoilers. Basically Harper's Island is a CBS murder mystery mini-series. 13 episodes taking place during a wedding on Harper's Island, near Seattle. The cast seems to be relatively unknowns. You're favorite character may or may not survive.

I don't remember where I was when this aired. Because I never even heard of it until recently. After watching all episodes, I'm satisfied with the outcome. It has a pretty good setting, fun cast, and keeps you guessing until the end.

There was a few knocks, but nothing too bad. The kid was just annoying and a lot of these murders were too convenient. Gotta have suspension of disbelief with this show.

It's worth checking out. Not something I would own, at least not at full price. The show was perfect for Netflix Instant viewing, which is where I watched it.
