Best event from Smackdown

Posted : 4 months ago on 8 May 2008 01:41 (A review of Wwe - Armageddon 2006)

Armageddon 2006 had to be one of the best ppv's of 2006 every match was almost a classic well you had the divas with a boring segment and a match with Cena which i had to say was bad.

The event has it's great matches which i do include.

Inferno Match - Kane vs. MVP
A good way to start of the event though i thought it was best keeping this near to the end an interesting match. MVP really did a good job and showed how good of a wrestler he is.

WWE Tag Team Championship - 4-Way Ladder Match - Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. William Regal & Dave Taylor vs. MNM vs. the Hardys

This match made this event and really it's mostly down to The Hardys and MNM without them this mach would of been bad. The Hardys give some very exciting action all the through the match along with MNM and Joey Mercury getting his nose broke all that blood all over. The great thing is even though Joey Mercury has to leave the match Johnny Nitro takes the match himself and he is fantastic. You know I am not a Johnny Nitro fan but if you put that guy in a ladder match he really makes it a great match which certainly makes it your moneys worth. Regal and Taylor were boring because it is not their style of match and you can tell. London and Kendrick i hate this team but they did a decent job but should of not won. The Hardy's should of won they were the real wrestlers during this match. But trust me Joey Mercury close up on his face is quite disturbing it is one of the most shocking pieces of footage I have seen in WWE history.

Last Ride Match - Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy

I am a Ken Kennedy fan because of his entertainment and this guy a great at wrestling. This match is good and exciting all the way through The Undertaker gets thrown of the Armageddon titantron and Kennedy getting a tombstone on the limo great stuff all the way in this match.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match - Gregory Helms vs. Jimmy Wang Yang

Not the best of matches but Jimmy Wang Yang aka Akio is a good wrestler and when you have Gregory Helms but in the match you get an even better match this one was good.

The matches I never found interesting

United States Championship Match - Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero

I don't care for this match i like hardcore mostly just this style of match is like any others. Chavo i find a bit boring and Chris Benoit well OK.

Boogeyman vs. the Miz

I like Boogeyman i find him entertaining but the Miz is an idiot and he's boring this match is over fast and you know who won i don't need to go on. But I did find it funny the Boogeyman putting worms in the Miz moth disgusting but funny.

Naughty Or Nice Lingerie Contest - Kristal vs. Layla vs. Jillian vs. Ashley

A good PPV and trash to fill up a good show a like the WWE divas but this is nothing Lingerie contest not important. This segment even gets worst even it comes to Big Dick Johnson doing a dance well this sucks and it's sick. If you want a diva that can wrestle look at Trish Stratus or Lita the best 2 WWE divas who were in WWE shame they left, because the diva division sucks all it's about is eye candy.

Batista & John Cena vs. King Booker & Finlay

Boring match which is not important why this was the main event i will never know. I don't even want to go into detail with it.

Special Feature

1st Inferno Match - Unforgiven 1998 - Undertaker vs. Kane

This match is good but i have this on previous DVD's but nice to have a again. This is the best Inferno match there is I don't even want to explain it because any WWE fan should of seen this.

Thats all your extras on this DVD non others and why i don't know i would of liked to have seen some interviews and what happened with MVP that would of been good to see an update after MVP been set on fire. What about the aftermath of Joey Murcury after getting the ladder right in his nose.

Well why did WWE have to make this event so good well after the fail of ECW December to Mismember they had to. Overall WWE Armageddon 2006 is the best event Smackdown has to offer believe that it's true which makes it in my opinion the best event of the year which needs to be in your DVD collection.

Skins Series 2 a must have DVD

Posted : 4 months ago on 5 May 2008 02:19 (A review of Skins: Complete Series 2 [2007])

Skins Series 2 is a lot more serious then Series 1 but this is just as good with a few shocks put into the series and ome sad moments.

My favorite episode is the one with Sid because it was interesting and a bit shocking it's because Mike Bailey is a great actor he plays Sid. Tony's episode is good one also. There is sadness in Jal's episode but this one is brilliant one of the best in the series. The last episode sees the final of the Skins cast as a new one will replace them. Cassie episode which is on disc 3 is a really sad one but overall great acting from all the cast Chris just makes it a sad one check that one out and you will know what i mean.

The DVD features great extras such as Skins in New York, The Skins Secret party, Interviews which are all good extras.

This is worth buying this 3 disc DVD this is classic TV and British TV at it's very best.

What a Masterpiece

Posted : 4 months, 1 week ago on 2 May 2008 09:57 (A review of No More Heroes (Wii))

No More Heroes is a great game even though this game is censored and has no blood annoying very much. This game though is still awesome it has cool fights, you can do jobs such as lawn mowing, collecting coconuts, collecting garbage and the Wii controls make this fun. You get this cool light saver to kill your enemies. You can drive around on your bike.

This is a great game a classic Wii title even though it is censored with no blood don't be put off buy it, its weird, crazy and funny also entertaining. The fighting is known to be faster in this version due to the blood missing.
By the way if people never knew this Ubisoft own Rising Star games just to let people know. I found it annoying how people were complaining to Rising Star Games they gave us the Japanese version which is the original i would be happy about it as quite a few Japanese games never make it out of the country.

I would of liked to have seen blood but deal with it and if people of such a bit problem with it buy a freeloader and import it, but me i don't care i am pretty much happy with what i have this version as i said is still great.
Last thing i have to laugh when Travis says bloodbath no blood its just black dust that comes out. I want a No More Heroes 2 great game for the Wii any owner over 16 should get it but beware this does contain a lot of bad language.

Who has the biggest balls of steel

Posted : 4 months, 2 weeks ago on 26 April 2008 03:00 (A review of Balls of Steel)

This has to be one of the best shows I've ever seen makes me proud to be from england. This show is all about 12 comedians which do stupid stuff to win the balls of steel award 6 take part each week. Mark Dolan presents this show giving us jokes along the way.

The acts are Alex Zane and his unfair gameshows, The Pain Men taking different stunt such as hitting a nail in there hand or a sander on there bum pretty painfully, worlds worst who was in series 1 he did such things as be a london cabbie and a barman, Annoying Devil set out to make peoples life a living hell, Big Gay Following who will go up to men and say you fancy a bum, Neg and his urban sports running from security guards and then he does the rodeo jumping on peoples back then there was knock the door don't run getting people mad, Toju the Militant Black Guy who will see words such as black pudding, raccoon etc as racial slurs, The Bunny Boiler who likes to hit on other womens men to get there reaction, Prank TV this is pranking people in different ways.

Coming to series 2 was Johnathan Goodwin attempts dangerous escapes with his father, the f**kers who will do sex anywhere in a bar in front of people in a car show room, Mr Inappropriate who teaches students swearing etc and doing rude stuff in public places.

Series 3 had The Nob Jockey a jockey who does not ride on horses but on people, The B***ard in Black a football ref who gets everything wrong, Scummy Mummy a mother who has a child or baby such as seeing a rection of a guy at a tattoo place of a baby getting a tattoo of cause he doesnt let this happen on top of that Scummy Mummy has a foul mouth.

This is one of the most criticized programs on tv one of them been tom cruise getting squirted in the face with water in the fake microphone the producer done this stunt on him and he spent the night in jail. They done the same stunt on Sharon Osborne but she got her own back as she picked up a bucket of water and shot it right at the camera.

Now Channel 4 have brought out the Balls Of Steel DVD showing all of Series 1 you can see all of those classic moments over and over again its worth buying. If you have never seen this check it out you can see this on youtube or if you have channel 4 you can watch it there. The dvd is also out now so check it out

This is comedy yeah right

Posted : 4 months, 2 weeks ago on 26 April 2008 12:59 (A review of Benidorm)

Benidorm is about people on a hoilday resort in Benidorm.

I find this show unfunny with a boring set of characters put into the show. For instants you have an old woman going around on a scooter she looks more like shes trying to be a teenager. Her husband in the show wears earrings an old man does quite sad he really skinny. As for the show does it have a plot i don't know i never took much notice but seeing a bad cast. Avoid this because i don't know how people even find it funny it sucks. Cheap Jokes and as i said the cast is terrible.

On the last note the old woman looks like shes been tangoed.

Clay Fighters

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 19 April 2008 11:32 (A review of Clay Fighters)

Clay Fighters i never liked the fighting was just to silly plus when you had games during that time like Killer Instant, Street Fighter 2 there the better games. Clay Fighters is slow annoying and the graphics are bad. The characters really annoy me the most apart from the snowman which appears to be the only decent one the game has to offer.

Scary and good fun

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 19 April 2008 11:28 (A review of Clock Tower)

I am not sure if this came out in the UK or US because i never seen it so i had the chance to play this with an emulator. The game was in Japanese so i had a little bit of an hard time to play this. This game i like but i found it hard and a little scary you play as girl in this house and your friends go missing you have to find them then you find weird stuff going on in the house which you have to solve.

This game is a nightmare

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 16 April 2008 05:07 (A review of Bebe's Kids)

Bebe's Kids first of all i never watched the movie never herd of it just i thought i would check out the game and see what it was like.

I don't get the story plot and really who cares well you play as this girl or boy and you start fighting in various places. The only level i played was the 1st which has you in a theme park beating up some guy dressed as a mouse or such. The game just takes ages to knock a guy out and while thats happening your been timed which is just beyond a joke. It takes over about 15 could be 20 i never counted to knock out some guy.

The people who made the game are silly to even make a game that bad i mean you can get way more fun from Final Fight and Sega's Streets Of Rage. Believe me avoid this and check out the footage on the video section on gamespot and you will see what i mean.

I never even finished the game i just got that bored i turned it off thanks for reading.

Unreleased for a reason

Posted : 4 months, 3 weeks ago on 16 April 2008 04:24 (A review of Cheetahmen II)

First of all this game was never released and another thing the game is not complete it is a mess the last thing the only way i got to play this was with a NES emulator.

I finally found one of the worst games ever and it came to this game develop by Active Enterprises a company which created another bad game Action 52. Now Cheetahmen 2 is an unreleased title and we can why for that reason without of a doubt this game is unplayable you can't even past the first level every time i try a get killed.

The problems with this game is you have enemies coming at you and walking through walls and to top that they disappear and reappear. First of all you will see this uncompleted character just walking back and forth and even aiming for you. You get a bird that does fly over your head and to try and dodge this is just hard. You have snakes, some kind of dogs and this ugly little thing walking on the floor all coming at you. To top that off you get blocks which do not even come in full use of the game they make the game even more of a problem. The blocks you jump on them and some you the only way to get down is jump before i knew it by jumping off that block i died. The blocks also come in ways during fighting enemies which still to me became a huge problem. This game made me mad and people call this game a collectors item they are stupid as well as this game having a fan website yeah i found one unbelievable. The controls are to slow to dodge stuff which becomes annoying and sometimes the controls don't even respond. The music is also bad i do not see why the music is so popular because it is terrible. The character Cheetahmen are stupid the whole idea is everything about the game is just keep away from this awful game.
It's a wonder why i could speak so much about this terrible game thanks for reading if you did
