I would like to comment on the review that said the "Fullscreen version" notice on the box meant it was pan & scanned. I think that is a mistake and just another example of sloppiness. Lonesome Dove was not shown in theaters and was shot for TV, so this is exactly what was on TV. There is no "widesc..

Hellsing - Complete Collection |
The vampire-turned-hunter saga Hellsing owes a lot to both the original and remake of Vampire Hunter D. In Britain, vampires that were artificially created by implanting chips in their necks are attacking people. Dispatching them is the job of the Royal Order of Religious Knights, headed by the icy (and apparently female) Sir Integra Hellsinger. Her chief agent, the red-clad Arucard, destroys one vampire, then turns police woman Victoria into a servant-vampire, bound to him. The outré story violates the rules of the traditional legends: vampires wear crosses, enter churches, and pose as priests; Hellsingers mortal enemy is the Vaticans Iscariot Organization. The animation is very static, and the design style changes from character to character. Despite grotesque imagery .. |

Flash over substance, but still worthwhile (
User
Rating
: 30/50
)
The characters are awfully one-dimensional, the story is far from deep, and it just about all falls apart at the end -- so why should anyone care? Well, nobody should, really. And yet, I do. Sure, the story, set in modern day Britain, isnt particularly brilliant: Alucard, an incredibly powerful vamp..

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic |
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic takes place just a few years after the Mandolorian Wars, thousands of years before the events in the Star Wars movies we know and love. Two Jedi, master Revan and his apprentice Malak, led the Republics forces to victory and pursued the Mandalorians into deep space only to return as Dark Jedi at the head of a huge fleet of Sith warships. Only the Force powers of the Jedi Bastila prevented the Sith from overwhelming the Republics weakened forces. At the start of the game Malak has usurped control of the Sith by betraying Revan and has attacked the ship carrying Bastila and yourself. In true Star Wars style, the game begins with a bang. The storyline could have been a standard coming-of-age yarn but is instead a genuinely interesting adventu.. |

A consumate storyteller (
User
Rating
: 50/50
)
Pulp Fiction is now a classic. It is the most satisfying of Tarrantinos movies as he artfully weaves together a compelling set of stories into a riveting film. This film also saw the welcome return of John Travolta as a very hip hitman. But, what distanced this movie from other "art house" action mo..

Although Im not really a Star Wars fan, I must say that this is probably the best roleplaying adventure game Ive ever played. It is more immersive than any game Ive ever played, and even though the game has a 3rd person perspective I really felt involved with the characters and the storyline to an e..
