On The Battlefront
Yesterday was Nov 1. Besides being the first day of a new month...it was also the release date for both Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith, and Star Wars Battlefront 2. Being the big time Star Wars Fan as I am, I naturally had to venture out during the day yesterday to grab my new "swag". Here are my first impressions of both:
Revenge of the Sith DVD - The circle is complete, as one can finally own all six movies in the collection. Of course (we all know this is coming eventually)...Lucas' quest to rule the galactic empire will include a 6 disc saga collection probably on HD-DVD or Blue Ray. However, for now, owning all six in regular DVD format makes me happy. Packaging of this latest episode is true to form with all the other prequel releases. There is a new THX opening, which is kinda cool...plus the picture and sound quality of every digitally encoded bit are crisp and clean with no caffiene. This one is definitely the best of the prequels.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 - It's predecessor, which was boasted as the best selling Star Wars Game Ever has gotten bigger and better with this release. The graphics have gotten a major upgrade (the textured stones on Utapau are brilliant and look slippery), along with more maps and full space battles. The game is fun, and definitely Battlefront. My first impression observations are...the Super Battle Droids have been weakened in this version and no longer dominate. The XBox Live support seems to be laggier than the original game, and some of the button mapping is confusing and unintuitive. Overall, a good solid title.
Whackly finally got his copies in the mail today (he preordered)...hope to see him on the Battlefront soon!

Definately more to life than star wars--you are not 6 anymore!!
There's a little 6 year old living in all of us. Let them OUT!
Too bad our anonymous friend has never had a hobby or an interest. They must have never been excited about something new. Either that or they are just a hypocrite who will try to justify their bypocrisy by implying that their interests are not lame and ours are. It also takes a real sourpuss to think that our lives are centered around Star Wars what with you being an accomplished musician, epicurian, businessman, etc. and me being an almost perfect asshole. If I were sixI would be many many many years too young to play a game as violent as SWBFII. Of course there is more to life than Star Wars. That's why I am damned near in tears about whether I will play SWBFII or set up my brand spanking new computer tonight after work (sarcasm and irony at the same time!!!). Anonymous, there is more to life than being a judgemental, naive, mood spoiling, narcisistic troll, too.
BTW there is no way I would let a 6 year old see that movie. Way too violent for someone of that age. The MPAA Doesn't give a movie a PG-13 rating for nothing...
I'm glad the wait is finally over! So you guys will be busy for a while and leave the rest of us alone!
leave you alone... ? you come here... to our site... by your own choice... ... ... how are we, then, to leave you alone?
SPOONGARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just felt like saying that for some reason...
