Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk has a lot of great action that seems to be lifted straight out of the old Xbox video game. It was refreshing not to have to go through the whole “origin” story again, which left room for the Abomination story… really enjoyed Tim Roth in the role. Edward Norton, or the way the Bruce Banner character was written, didn’t seem enough like a scientist, though.

4 out of 5 stars

Spider-man: Web of Shadows

They manage to make swinging from buildings as Spidey much more fun and interesting than even flying as Superman would be. Excellent air combo mechanics and forgiving difficulty level make you feel like a superhero. Love the symbiote plotline, the choices you are given, and the ability to change into the black suit at will is fantastic. Certainly the best Spider-man game to date, and easily recommended.

Dark Knight

Been a fan of Ledger since Roar, and his Joker was definitely enthralling — but this film was too long, and not really enough of an improvement over Batman Begins.
