Splinter Cell (2002)
great after a few tries
when i first got it as a gift i barely played it. i couldn't stand the training level because they were quite difficult for me (that should tell you that i'm not a gamer). but after a while, once i got used to the game, and played the police station level for a while, i started to love this game. the graphics are amazing on the xbox. i also have the ps2 version and there are slight differences between them. at first i used to think that the game sucked because you only get a certain amount of bullets. however the purpose of the game is to use your gun as a last resort. you have to distract, sneak around shadows, hang above people (y-split). i compare it to goldeneye for the n64 because splinter cell and goldeneye, in my opinion, made the consoles look much better. i spent a LOT of money on the james bond games looking to emulate goldeneye but after i found splinter cell and timesplitters 2, my search is over.
TimeSplitters 2 (2002)
great sequel
for years now i have played goldeneye for the n64 and ever since i have been looking for another game like it. however i tried nightfire and agent under fire but they suck. just like the back of the game case says, its a worthy successor to goldeneye. even the first level is like an homage to goldeneye and 'the dam.'
i have only played it for the xbox. however i heard the graphics on the ps2 is slightly less quality. the story isn't that interesting but the graphics, characters, and weapons are great. i guess its got like a matrix thing to it where you can see bullets come at you and they leave a trail thats noticeable. i think max payne was the first to do that (to my knowledge).
but, a great game. i am sure if you like goldeneye, then you will like this as well. except at first i spent about an hour customizing the controls to emulate the n64 controller. i think its like a mix between goldeneye and unreal tournament (from the pc game series).
Anger Management (2003)
nice premise but the sandman fails
its your same 'ole crap from adam sandler. and nicholson sucks only because his character is written by asses. i do recommend this movie to rent however only because of the small characters like luis guzman, john turturro, and john c. reilly who are extremely funny. most of the cameos suck except for woody harrelson's. i liked the premise of the story but after watching it, its like a movie in which adam sandler was being told how to react rather than do his own stuff like big daddy or happy gilmore. the majority of this is like some contrived garbage from the studio execs. anybody could've done nicholson's part. jack doesn't give us the truth or the anger.
