Well first it's a next gen rockstar game so the graphics are on point and look amazing. The gameplay itself is pretty fluid and gunplay is really fun. Missions are fairly unique. (0 more)

The controls can get buggy from time to time and make your horse act weird or make it hard to run and jump on your horse. (1 more)

Sometimes i had to restart a at a checkpoint because it wouldn't progress on the story. The first chapter is horrid and takes 10 years to finish.

Pretty good but lacking

All in all it was a decent game but I wish they would have cut down the hand holding they do in the first chapter to like the first mission and let you do what you want from the start. It was the same way when online multiplayer dropped they made you do what they wanted you to do for like the first 2 hours. With that being said I loved the graphics, the missions were fun, being in the wild west lifestyle was fun, I would definitely recommend giving it a play.

Sue the Zombie T-Rex :-)

That is all.

<2016 update>

This is the Zombie-themed one, that ends with Sue the Tyrannosaur and also (I think) has the first appearance of Waldo Butters as one of the main players. In this, Thomas is also now lodging with Harry, who has now found out his relationship to the former, with Thomas trying to change his lifestyle. Karen Murphy is also absent for most of the novel, off on holiday with Kincaid.

Magic - it can get a guy killed

Book number 7 in Jim Butchers Harry Dresden series, this is one where I think it is highly advisable to have read the previous entries first, as it ties several plot lines from those earlier novels into the events of this one.

Having said that: this is, as always, a good read, but maybe not the best in the series so far (which, to use an over-coined term, seems to be getting progressively 'darker' in tone)

Movie Rating

I liked it......

I have watched this film many times before, I personally enjoy it as I love a good messed up fight to survive kind of film and this family goes through alot.

The film starts out with the main guy. It shows him with his step family that he has just brutally murdered and how he changes his looks name and lifestyle to find the next family. It's good and bad in my eyes, good because you see how he slowly unravels and you see how messed up he is and how the family slowly start to realise the danger they are in. But bad because it would have been nice to just see the film not knowing he was a complete maniac and the son could have worked it out through the film and could have been interesting in that kind of twist. But all in all this broken family had something missing, the mum finds a partner who is very sketchy and slowly turns from a loving father figure to a complete murderous nightmare. Definitely worth a watch.
