  2. Actually, it was a BMW 750iL. Come to think of it, has Lee Tamahori directed anything good other than Along Came a Spider and The Edge?

  14. Good luck on that, as SPECTRE is part of a neverending legal battle between EON Productions and Kevin McClory (original co-writer of Thunderball who claimed he came up with the terrorist organization himself). For the videogame adaptation of From Russia With Love, SPECTRE was replaced with a similar organization called "OCTOPUS."
  15. That's not really saying much. The helicopter sequences in Golgo 13: The Professional looked way better then that.
  16. Demashitaa!! PowerPuff Girls Z is probably the worst I've seen this year.
  17. I got a soft spot for "Strutter" and "You Really Got Me."
  18. For those who have GH2, what's your favorite song?
  19. PARENTAL ADVISORY: Explicit Engrish!
  20. Only 4 days left...
  21. 1012: "Go God Go" - To keep himself from running impatient while waiting for the release of the Nintendo Wii, Cartman goes into suspended animation by having himself buried in snow by Butters until the Wii finally hits the stores. Unfortunately, an avalanche buries him deeper, and he isn't thawed out until 540 years later, where he finds himself in the middle of a war between two Atheist groups and a group of super-intelligent sea otters (who are also Atheist). 1013: "Go God Go XII" - After cooperating with the sea otters, Cartman manages to get a Nintendo Wii from an abandoned technology museum. Unfortunately for him, S-Video connections no longer exist in the 26th century. Frustrated by the Wii's incompatibility with future technology, Cartman acquires a time phone and attempts to call himself from present day to prevent himself from going into suspended animation. What a comeback for this series. After putting up with three so-so episodes, we have a two-parter that, once again, mocks religion (or in this case, a lack of religion), and has everyone laughing from beginning to end. Fans of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century will have a blast with these two episodes. And the scenes with Mrs. Garrison and Richard Dawkins are a total riot.
  22. Guitar Hero II ( ギターヒーローII ) Harmonix/RedOctane, Inc./Activision, 2006 For the Sony PlayStation 2 and XBOX 360 Rated T (Teen) for mild lyrics. (Review based on the PS2 version) Lowdown The video music game that took the nation by storm is back. Following the unexpected success of Guitar Hero and their acquisition by Activision, RedOctane - along with Harmonix - went back to the studio to churn up a worthy successor to the game. Guitar Hero II comes with a red Gibson SG controller which addresses the issues found on the original black one. Also available from RedOctane is the official wireless guitar controller. And the XBOX 360 version comes with a white Gibson X-Plorer controller. Once again, get ready to rock! Gameplay: A If you have the first GH game, you won't be surprised by Guitar Hero II's gameplay in single-player mode - it's exactly the same as its predecessor. However, the game engine has undergone some minor tweaks. As a result, the game benefits from improved hammer-ons and pull-offs. Career Mode is more of the same: you simply choose a character and join an aspiring cover band. Then you tour around the U.S. from Ohio to Boston up to L.A. before flying to England to perform your grand finale at Stonehenge (the real deal - not some 18" scale model that Spinal Tap wound up with). The original cast from the first game are joined by Eddie Knox (a tattooed rockabilly), Casey Lynch (a blonde rocker) and Lars Ümlaüt (a Norwegian headbanger in KISS makeup). In addition to the Grim Ripper, former regulars Clive Winston (the British guy) and Xavier Stone (the black guitarist) are unlockable characters. Stone has undergone a complete makeover from dreadlocks to an afro. Multiplayer is where the game totally shines. In addition to the traditional Face-Off mode, two other modes are included. The first is Pro Face-Off, where both players play the full lead guitar track on the same difficulty. The second is Cooperative Mode, where one player does lead guitar, while the other plays rhythm guitar or bass. Both share the same scoreboard, Rock Meter, streak multiplier and Star Power meter. This mode requires a lot of teamwork, as both players have to engage Star Power simultaneously, and this is the only multiplayer mode where you can fail in a song. In short, GH2 is the superior one for two players. Graphics: B- It still looks like the first game, but that's how we like it. Soundtrack: A You want more songs, you got them. GH2 has 64 licensed songs (40 on the playlist plus 24 bonus tracks). As with the first game, majority of the songs are covers (READ: "As made famous by..."). You have more rock classics like Van Halen's "You Really Got Me," hair metal hits like Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine," Southern legends like Lynrd Skynrd's "Free Bird," grunge crap like Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box," and modern hits like Wolfmother's "Woman." Plus, for the first time ever, original songs (READ: "As performed by...") make it to the regular playlist. Primus and Jane's Addiction have contributed to the game with their songs "John the Fisherman" and "Stop," respectively. XBOX 360 owners have the advantage of playing 10 exclusive tracks plus more music ready for download, including songs from the first game. Unfortunately, the soundtrack does not receive an A+ because the playlist has the two worst songs to play in any Guitar Hero game: "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies and "Yes We Can" by Made in Mexico (which, fortunately, is a bonus track, so I recommend you don't bother unlocking it). The Bottom Line Headbanging fun is always better the second time around, and Guitar Hero II delivers. Links Official Guitar Hero Homepage Reference Wikipedia
