Reviews by John E.

August 17, 2008 Summerslam took place at Indianapolis, Indiana and this event was good better then last years. The thing is though they advertise Rey Mysterio at the start of the show but yet he was not on the show at all.

So anyway lets get into the event

Montel Vontavious Porter VS Jeff Hardy

This was a good match by both men and the ending just shocked me the match really did show how good MVP is but the ending I never wished happen with Shelton helping MVP to pick up the win. 6.5/10

Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix VS Kofi Kingston and Mickie James - Intercontinental Championship and Womens Championship on the line.

I can hardly call this a good match Santino hardly does nothing he acts like a girl he was pathetic because Beth did most of the work during the match. Now the match with Beth doing The Glam Slam I think it is to Mickie James. Now I wanted Mickie and Kofi to win but Beth is a good wrestler and she did some pretty good moves in the match. Now Santino is a joke and should not of got the Intercontinental championship. 5/10

Mark Henry (with Tony Atlas) VS Matt Hardy - ECW Championship

This match was crap only lasting 32 seconds all because Tony Atlas gets Mark Henry disqualified in order for Mark Henry to keep the ECW Championship. This was just Bull S*it and really why advertise this and why let it happen at a PPV its just pathetic. Though at the end the Jeff helps Matt so that was good. The match gets 1/10 while the part with the Hardys gets 4/10 I would of liked to have seen more of the Hardys.

CM Punk VS John "Bradshaw" Layfield - World Heavyweight Championship

I could not care less what happened I don't really care about CM Punk I don't mind him but this match for me was more like a sleeper. 2/10

Triple H VS The Great Khali - WWE Championship

I knew this match was going to be horrible and it was Triple H was getting beat up most of the way threw the match all of a sudden Triple H does a pedigree and Khali was going it looked pathetic and even the people were shouting to Khali you can't wrestle. Good that Triple H kept the title cause Khali is pathetic. 3/10

John Cena VS Batista

This match was made more of a fuss of then The Hell in A Cell who cares if it was the first game these 2 were VS each other. This match was quite good John Cena looked a bit pathetic with the STFU on Batista looked fake as hell. Though the highlight of that match was Cena jumping of the top rope and getting the Batista bomb. Batista beating John Cena was good great when John Cena loses I can't really stand him. 7/10

The Undertaker VS Edge - Hell in a Cell

Now this was the match I was waiting to see Undertaker and Edge and to the feud was the best led up to this match was brilliant. The whole match was enjoyable and really best match of the year so far. The cage smashed at the side Edge done a spear to Undertaker through the Spanish announcers table. Edge gets chokeslammed through a table. I am going to skip to the end everything Edge done to Undertaker he did to Edge hitting him with a camera Edge getting a spear Edge been hit a One man con–chair–to. The end was just good Edge getting chokeslammed off the ladders and through the ring where fire came out at the end. Both men give a great match it was enjoyable and it was well worth staying up till 4am to watch it. 9.5/10 it is the best Hell in Cell match I have seen in a long time.

Update: Now watching the DVD WWE have made editing to the crowd by trying to cut out the swearing. Another Edit takes place in the hell in a cell match the part where Edge gets thrown of the ladder it goes into a Undertaker video thing with little girls laughing a bit hard to explain but it wrecks the whole thing. The DVD extras are bad you get a boring ECW match the rematch with Mark Henry and Matt Hardy its a waste of time. a 45 second segment of WWE Summerfest and an awful segment with Shawn Michaels which is just lifeless. Hey WWE add something worth next where the hell in Edge's fantastic segments leading up to SummerSlam those needed to be added but anyway they should on on Edge's WWE DVD. WWE need to improve on there DVD extras because they just suck. As for Summerslam it's a great event

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York a great movie a blockbuster then comes the game on Super Nintendo the first Home Alone game was horrible and so is this one. Home Alone 2 the game starts of at the hotel but in this game any thing can kill you hovers, the concierge will choke Kevin to death, the maids will wack Kevin with sort of things like umbrellas, briefcases coming out of a lift they can kill you. The game really is nothing like the movie and it really just some cheap cash in on a blockbuster hit movie trust me just AVOID THIS PILE OF TRASH.

Emergency Mayhem I could not wait for this game it really did just look like fun and a bit like Crazy Taxi but I was wrong. Emergency Mayhem has you playing as a police driver, ambulance and fire fighter which are mixed in with mini games.

The game lets you drive around parts of the place called Crisis City after doing each mission it will unlock another part of the city. Emergency Mayhem has a different set of mini games such as trying to get the fire out which has you moving your wii remote up and down, it has you guiding penguins back in the sea which has you moving your Wii remote with them, saving people from the building you have a trampoline and you have to guide them to safety, it also has things such as going in peoples body's and getting a fly or even nail out why in the hell would you swallow a nail not a good idea to do this is very awkward you have to move your Wii remote and press A. There's 30 mini games and theres just to many to name also you have to catch monkeys, patiences and robbers this involves you running them over you can't get out the car and get them you run over then thats teaching people the wrong thing.

The controls to the game are a little awkward you use your Wii remote to drive you press B and to reverse you press A the nunchuck you steer using the analog stick on it and Z lets you use the siren but only for a limited time.

The game also has a major down fall as sometimes the arrow does not appear for some reason it seems after doing so many missions it just disappears and you have no clue where to go and sometimes it will come back. The worst thing that happened to me was you finish all the missions now you have to go back to HQ I did but nothing happened and I had to go and do all 19 missions again. As Codemasters released this game it should of been tested it just seems like third party games on Wii are never done well.

The directional arrow in the sometimes is just not helpful as sometimes guides you in the wrong direction this is just annoying. I just want to go back to the mini games these can be annoying as sometimes the controls do feel unresponsive and fails to pick up the movement.

The dialogue in the game does get annoying as it is the same all the time if you lose a mission the women is just nasty saying stuff like you suck talk about hurting a child's feelings. When the dialogue just could of been you failed please retry. You can also drive around on public pavements and even run them over no law enforcement will stop you so this game really does live in a fantasy land.

The graphics do look like Nintendo 64 graphics I don't really care because they don't look that bad to me. The music sounds quite good and it really fits into the game very well.

I really think this game could of been improved on to me it feels rushed and it is a bit stupid no wonder this game is hard to find only one store in my town had it. If you like these style games just stick with Crazy Taxi cause that game is good and avoid this one as it is very frustrating.

This game was in plans in 2004 for Playstation 2 and XBOX by Acclaim since they went bankrupt they lost it. Four years later and Codemasters release it which this is there version as Acclaim's version looked a lot better and different to this. As I said it is quite boring and won't last long to enjoy kids may get bored of it easily there are far more better games on Wii to be spending your money on. This game cost me £20 pound and I feel ripped off I just of taking note of other reviews dam I wish I did.

I really thought this movie was going to be better then the first but I don't think it is. The story plot was not to bad but some of the comedy in this movie seems like it's already been done before. It just was not as funny and the jokes by Rob Corddry just did sound to retarded to be even funny. The best parts in this movie are with Neil Patrick Harris he does a great job in the movie. I just hope another Harold & Kumar is made cause it's just going to repeat the same thing but in a different scenario.

xXx is a great movie but this one State of the Union also known where I live as The next level was just bad. The storyline is boring Ice Cube plays Darius Stone a gangsta type person this is what really makes it bad and the effects just are not as good. As in xXx that combines action with extreme sports thats what made it enjoyable also the fact of Vin Diesel's character in that movie was great.

I just wish this one would not of been made I really did think it was completely boring and not entertaining at all.

SmackDown is the best show WWE produces at this moment it has the best talent on the show now since the draft it's been awesome with superstars like Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Ken Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin they all make it such a great show. The only down point to SmackDown is the Great Khali he needs to be off WWE he is a boring wrestler and he is to slow. Edge is really providing loads of entertainment for SmackDown playing the bad guy (heel) which he plays it so well which you do expect to see what will happen the next week. Jeff Hardy and the MVP storyline has been a bit cruel but it's been good to watch and the whole storyline was good the only bad thing was bringing up Jeff Hardy's house on fire and losing his dog that was uncalled for. Shelton Benjamin finally glad to see him off ECW as this guy has loads of talent he can do high flying moves and offer tons of excitement during a match. Ken Kennedy that guy is just entertaining all the time. I got to say Vickie Guerrero as GM for SmackDown is pretty dam good.

Edge has just really made the show worth watching and has really improved SmackDown.

Sonic Gems Collection had to be one of the most disappointing Sonic games I bought Next Gen is the worst on 360 but I am not talking about that. Sonic Gems Collection just makes me laugh as Sega do claim these are the gems of Sonic when they are not all. The only 2 decent games are Sonic CD, Sonic R and Sonic Fighters which was just OK the rest are just terrible Game Gear games.

Sonic CD quite good just to me I like the Mega Drive/Genesis versions better I find Sonic CD a bit confusing and annoying with the whole future and past etc.

Sonic R is good but does have some annoying music the only good track is Super Sonic Racing while the others are just bad and kind of weird to be on a Sonic Game. The graphics to this game are not bad but this game lacks on stages I think there was only about 5 so this game can be finished in about 30 mins maybe less.

Sonic The Fighters I thought this was just OK it is quite slow and the graphics are a bit of a mess but it is good for it's time. It does have some decent music put into the game like any fighting game it can be finished fairly quickly.

The rest are not that good all Game Gear games Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (different from the Mega Drive/Genesis version I hate the fact one hit and your dead even with rings it still happens.) Sonic Spinball - Sonic in pinball I hated this game when it first came out. Sonic The Hedgehog Triple Trouble - This game was not to bad, Sonic Drift 2 - This was possibly the best Game Gear game featured on this. The other 2 who cares about them Tails Skypatrol, Tails Adventures.

The most annoying thing is they give you 2 extra games Vectorman and Vectorman 2 games in my mind that are terrible and boring. While the Japanese version gets Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 which I think it's pathetic that Sega just did not give us those games as well as they were some of the best games Sega made.

The extras also feature a screen where you can unlock and look at various different Sonic artwork

This is a bad Sonic collection and in my mind are not the gems the real gems are the ones featured on Sonic Mega Collection all the Mega Drive/Genesis games (not including Mr Robotnik Mean Bean Machine or Sonic Spinball). If you don't own Sonic Mega Collection that one is a must buy I would avoid this unless you want Sonic CD.

I cannot believe I still own this game well it's not really a game at all I got this when I was a kid back in 2000. Goldie is really just a cheap rip off of Disney's Bambi the exact same thing is in this game. I bet your wondering why do I not call this a game and why I think it is bad well it features a Jigsaw Puzzle, Colouring Book you and know even when I was younger I found this boring. This also features so cheap crappy cartoon film of Goldie aka Bambi. It was released by that cheap games company Midas not one of there games was good and this game I paid £7.99 for it what a rip off. I think the only difference is Goldie's mother survives I don't know I never watched it all it's on for about half-hour. I think it was only released in Europe and we always get rubbish budget titles. Well thats all I can really say not much about this.

WWE Survivor Series is one of my favorite WWE events I like the traditional Survivor Series elimination matches but on this event it just feels like squash matches and some could of gone a whole lot better. With this been the 20th Survivor Series there should of been better matches and a big celebration sadly not much to be happy about.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Simmons & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Kenny, Johnny, Nicky & Mikey]

To be honest I am not a fan of Ric Flair the only guy I did like in this match was Ron Simmons cause to me he's entertaining and was great back in the APA with JBL. The match is not bad but it just puts me off with the Spirit Squad been in the match as that team just sucked. So don't hate on me with me not been a fan of Ric Flair.

United States Championship Match [Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero]

The build up to this match was quite good and the match was fairly decent and Chavo does improve during the match but for me it's not one match that I could keep attention to. I also got to say I can't no longer watch a Chris Benoit match after knowing he killed his Wife and Child which makes me sick.

Women's Championship Match [Lita vs. Mickie James]

I like Lita but she got nothing but disrespected I know shes done bad things but fans calling a hoe is just wrong after everything she did in WWE. This is her final WWE event and match before she retired like Trish Stratus did back at Unforgiven 2006. Trish got to leave with the title but sadly for Lita she loses it and just gets a whole load of disrespect. You got Cryme Tyme selling some of Lita's personal stuff the thing was a little funny just I would of liked to have seen Lita got the respect she deserves. As for the match Mickie James and Lita do both put on a good match.

Traditional Survivor Series match [D-Generation X, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, Edge, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms & Mike Knox]

This match I should say is just like a squash match I like Team D-X and Team Rated RKO but some of this match was pathetic. Mike Knox is the first one out only been in the match for 5 seconds before Shawn Michaels hits a Sweet Chin Music on Knox then he's out. I am going to skip to the end Rated RKO get dominated leaving none of Team D-X to get eliminated I think Randy Orton and Edge should of at least had a chance. The Hardys do offer some great work during the match which I do think they are one of the greatest teams in WWE any of there matches or involved in are enjoyable.

First Blood Match [Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy]

Mr Kennedy is on a losing streak on the PPV's in 2006 wasn't he well he lost at No Mercy a month before this event and lost a month after in the fantastic Last Ride Match at Armageddon 2006. Mr Kennedy makes Under bleed first but then Mr Kennedy gets a hell of a beating. This match is enjoyable both Undertaker and Kennedy do work well together in the match but I recommend checking out the match from Armageddon 2006 it is the better match.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Big Show, Umaga, Finlay, MVP & Test]

We all knew the out come of this match Cena Team was going to win well Umaga gets himself eliminated he gets the monitors and starts hitting other wrestlers I think it was Sabu and RVD I didn't pay much attention. The best part of the match for me was Test big boot to RVD's face it just looked fantastic. The most annoying though about this match is the likes of RVD, Sabu, Kane just teaming up with Cena to me it's just a weird team. Sabu hardly gets a chance if this was the old ECW this guy would take more damage but no gets eliminated after a chokeslam from the Big Show if it was the old ECW he would of kicked out of it. Then we get Bobby Lashley I hate him he's just like a bad version of Brock Lesnar (I like Brock Lesnar by the way) which picks up the win with Cena.

World Heavyweight Championship Match [King Booker vs. Batista]

The promo bit before the match was put together well and I did enjoy this match until the end. King Booker gets a lot of the offence on Batista but the ending has King Booker having the title and trying to hit Batista he dodges out of the way Batista gets the title and hits Booker with it and theres a new champion.

DVD Extras

Todd Grisham interviews Lita after her match - This is a good extra Lita talks about how she hated been disrespected by the fans and what happened. She also states about if she will return which she does say never say never. This is a good segment which I do wish Lita will return in the future Lita and Trish are the best WWE Women in WWE because they would wrestle.

Mr. McMahon's Kiss My Ass Cartoon - This was featured on wwe.com it's not bad its just weird. If you have not seen it look for it as it will be on the internet somewhere maybe still on wwe.com

Main Event of Survivor Series '87 [Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Paul Orndorff, Ken Patera & Don Muraco vs. Andre the Giant, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, Butch Reed & King Kong Bundy] - This match features JBL and Michael Coal doing commentary and to be honest I hate 80's wrestling I like it back from 1997 up to now.

Overall: I think Survivor Series 2006 is a bit disappointing as I still find 2001 and 2002 are highly the best. The matches on this just could of been great and some just felt like a pure let down. But I will tell you the best matches I thought of this event so here we go Undertaker VS Kennedy, Team Rated RKO VS Team D-X, King Booker VS Batista, Mickie James VS Lita was quite good. WWE did improve by adding an extra match but to be honest I would of liked to have seen some of Kennedy's segments on The Undertaker as they were great. Something I do enjoy is JBL's commentary some of the stuff he comes up with is funny which makes it entertaining and enjoyable to watch. If you do collect WWE DVD's like me it is worth adding to the collection.

I watched this program and it is nothing but completely boring Hugh M. Hefner in my mind is a sick old man with young women to me it's just wrong he should be dating women at his own age. The guy is old enough to be the girls fathers. But the women really just want him for his cash the show is about the girls and there lifes and what Hugh does for them. These girls we know there body is fake really I don't find this entertaining.
