A co-worker of mine (we’ll call him Coyote) and I had a friendly discussion the other day about multi-player games. I was arguing that any game can be “fun” and “at least playable” if you played it in multi-player with friends as long as there weren’t any negative outside factors (such as lag, broken controller, sun in your eyes, etc..). We decided to put this theory to the test.

What better way to prove any game could be fun than to pick a game that was on almost every “worst games of all time” list ever written? So what lucky game did we choose? Why Daikatana of course! Haven’t heard of it? A short history is perhaps in order.

When I heard the news that the new Iron Man movie was actually pretty good, I have to say that I took it with a grain of salt. To be honest, I don’t think much of the recent Marvel movies. Sure, they’re pretty much all better than Superman Returns, but none so far have been as good as Batman Begins (with the possible exception of the second X-Men movie). Coming from me, it might sound strange since I’m a huge comic book fan and movie enthusiast, but I started to believe that non-Batman comics and movies should not cross paths again. At least not when Hollywood is involved.

So it’s been almost a month since my last (and first) post but I honestly simply forgot I had a blog I’m not sure if that actually makes things any better or worse but it’s the truth so tough! Well onto the review…

I’d like to start by saying that I’m not particularly a ‘Westerns’ fan. I don’t dislike Westerns but I don’t go gaga over them either. That said, I really like both Russell Crowe and Christian Bale as actors so I really did want to like this movie going into it. The last good Western I’ve seen was Unforgiven and that was over a decade and a half ago, I thought it was time for another good one.
