Film - The Hangover part 2
I enjoyed the first hangover, but like most people I could not see the reason for a sequel, really everything that was needed to be said was said in the first one. nothing was added to the franchise this time around, they get wasted, again, they don't remember anything, again, they have lost somebody, again and then they have to piece together what happened to track them down, again.
All that said however, it was an enjoyable experience it just works, it had some genuinely funny moments, and had the entire audience laugh out loud more than once.
Go see it if you like the first one, but if you miss it, no harm done.

Xbox live arcade game - Age of Booty
Age of booty is an Xbox live arcade game, that to be honest I only brought because it was on offer, had pirates and from the screen shots it looked like overboard (an old playstation one game that I loved)
However when I came to play the game I was a little surprised to find out it in fact a real time strategy game, that said its not a terrible one, its gets a little hectic sometimes, and it is lacking options.
But for the 200 points It cost me, it has entertained me plenty.
I would suggest checking out the demo at least.

Fallout new Vegas DLC - Honest hearts
I spoke about fallout new Vegas last week as I said in that review some new DLC had drawn me into the game.
Now I have had time to play the new DLC and thought I would give you my thoughts on it.
Honest hearts takes you out of the Mojave wasteland and to the much more picturesque utah, here you encounter a war between native American style tribes and once again the courier is the straw that tips the scales in once direction or the other.
I have to say I rather enjoyed this DLC, much more than the last (Dead money) it was a nice change of pace to play fallout in an area with greenery and clean water, the new items are forgettable but fit the story nicely and the quest chain is enjoyable, if not ground breaking.
Best of all I did not experience a single glitch while it Utah!

Boardgame - Khet 2.0
This is an interesting game to say the least. It plays a little like chess, but with a totally different strategy, you take pieces by bouncing a laser around the board, trying to take your opponents Pharaoh.
You have at your control 4 types of pieces some with one reflective surface, some with two and then one “blocker” type pieces that can stop your opponents laser without reflecting it.
The strategy comes from knowing that both yours and your opponents laser can take pieces this means that you can trick your opponent into taking there own pieces.
Khet takes a very different way of thinking than games like chess, but it is, in this reviewers eyes, an enjoyable one, and I can't recommend it enough.

My God, Overboard! I remember that! I didn't have the game, but I had it on the demo disc that came with the T Rex that you could control. Or was the T Rex on the PS2 demo disc? I forget. Either way it was awesome.
Khet is fun even if just watching, as long as the people playing don't mind you playing with the discarded mirror pieces....
Not that I did that...
wow lots of reviews this week , i agree the hangover two was exactly same formula as first one , i didnt really think the first one was that funny ( in parts yes), but i enjoyed the funny parts in the second one more and i do like the photos sequences at the end of the movie , overboard was a good game , and it was fun to watch the lazer game , it reminds me of another game though and i cant remember what it was , maybe i am getting confused with sentinal or some other computer game
Khet will ruin relationships, fact.Well maybe because you try to blind your opponent in the eye because you suspected them of cheating...or you just used that as an excuse! Hangover 2 was hilarious,the ladyboy was unexpected!! :)
i liked the hangover. i got that pirate game on xbox. i think its entertaining to kill a bit of time but i gota find that board game. chess taken to a new level :P bet my friend jay would kick my ass at it in no time.
