Movie Monday:: Tucker and Dale Vs Evil

This movie is my new favorite horror comedy. Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is about two Rednecks from West Virginia who just purchased a vacation home in the woods. They go up to the cabin to fix it up and meet some college kids on their way up to go camping. The college kids have been watching way too many campy horror movies and automatically think that Tucker and Dale are some kind of evil killers. While running from these nice guys, they accidentally kill themselves one by one.
I rented this movie on Zune on Xbox360 and I had to watch it twice because I was laughing so hard the first time I watched it I didn't catch all the jokes until the second time around. I loved this movie because it is so refreshing. The premise of the movie has never really been done before; looking at it from the Rednecks' side. They probably do think people from the city are crazy. They left room for a sequel, I hope they make one. This movie is great for everyone; its funny, its not really gory, its got romance.... I'm going give something away if I keep going on about it, so just watch it already!!

The Greatest Game you've Never Heard of this Week!


Resonnance of Fate
XBOX360 and PS3

This is really a masterpiece from TriAce. Its an RPG but your team fights with guns instead of the traditional swords we are used to. The battle play is also a little different you chose a path for your character to run on and then you chose how charges you want your gun to be before you fire. You can unload one clip into an enemy or shoot as many times as you can before reaching the end of you path.
All the weapons in the game are completely customizable. As long as there is a spot for an attachment and room on the blue print, you can create it, no matter how impossible it would be for it to be real. Character weapons are handguns, machine guns, or grenades. All of the characters can duel wield, as long as you have the guns. The character levels up themselves through their weapon choice. Its kind of strange. Say one of your characters is level 7 handguns, level 8 machine guns and level 3 grenades. That characters level is 18, but if you give that characters grenades they are going to leevel up very quickly, because it is easier to level up lower levels (as we all know). All the character outfits in the game are also completely customizable. As time goes on you unlock new outfits to buy for your characters and they are all very stylish.
Best thing about this game is the game plus record. After you beat the game, it is not nearly over. You still have to unlock the rest of the map and take that elevator as low as it goes. This is an amazing game and shows how under rated Japanese games are to the American public. The graphics in this game are strickingly beautiful and there is a great steam punk element to it. I would love to talk about the story, but I would spoil it. The story is a great mystery and really makes you think about how people would survive when conditions on earth got to be unbearable. Really great RPG.
