Legend of Korra (Season 1)
15/10
Going into to this I knew about the story. I have seen many posts and pictures of the show from around various sites. But seeing the pics doesn't hold a candle to the actual show. It truly was a great experience. It was a lot more serious this time around which I loved. Everything is straight to the point and well written. With the main cast being young adults; it was easy to connect situations they had with my own. But with the serious moments come the funny reaction faces and jokes aimed at kids. Though these were apparent though out the 12 episodes, I was not bothered by them in the slightest. The build up to the season finale was great, a lot of tension and creepy moments to keep you guessing. The Finale was the icing on the awesome cake. So much happens in the last episode that it makes you wonder what exactly is going to come next.
Overall I strongly recommend Legend of Korra. It truly is a great show and Im glad I took half the day to watch it all though.

well there's an uncut version of the dub (if you mean you don't want to read subtitles) but the dub isn't good. then again i'm an anime snob and can barely tolerate any kind of dubbing anymore

finale was written terribly and was way too fast paced. the series doesnt live up to the original. still enjoyed it though

Yeah they do kinda talk fast, but since it's a shounen series there's so much action going on that it didn't bother me too badly!

MGS4: 9.5/10
Incredible game. Story was too focus on fan service ( I knew that going into it), but gameplay was in-freaking-credible. Returning to Shadow Moses and the fist fight with Ocelot are some of the best video game moments I've ever experienced. I still have to give the nod to MGS3 as far as the best game in the series is concerned, but this isn't far off by any means.

DEVIL MAY CRY HD COLLECTION
8/10. Buy it
Individual breakdown:
Devil May Cry HD - 7.5/10 A fun action game that admittedly shows its age. Good for a playthrough, but I don't think I'll be going back for seconds any time soon.
Devil May Cry 2 HD - 4/10 Just as terrible as you remember (Why they even included this in the package is beyond me).
Devil May Cry 3 HD - 9.5/10 One of the best action games ever made, DMC3 alone is worth the price of admission. It's just as fun as ever, providing a steep challenge backed up by awesome gameplay. It's also the Special Edition of DMC3, meaning it includes extra boss fights and the ability to play as Vergil. PLAY THIS GAME

My review of the first two episodes of Game of Thrones:
[video=youtube;vldh7oQD-a4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vldh7oQD-a4[/video]
Not a bad show, but seriously out of 2 hours, 45 minutes were people banging each other. Also I wished they'd of explained better the overall story of the show. You have to pick up the underline story as the show goes on.
