Welcome to the Critical Hit! My name is Adam Long and I’m a movie fan. I’ve been watching them my whole life and I’m pretty opinionated about them.

The point of these reviews will be to spark up a bit of discussion about the movie at hand. So be aware that these will be filled with spoilers. We want you to see the film, read my review and then participate in the discussion on the forums. For my first I’ve chosen a classic franchise that has recently released a new addition to itself. So be sure to check back at CheastMasters.com to see my reviews on summer’s films.

Before I begin the first edition of the Critical Hit, let me warn you that I generally LIKE the movies I see. Its fairly rare that I’ll go plop down $8.50 to see something that I don’t really want to waste my time or money on. With that said…so begins the adventure.

Leveling up is one of the biggest joys of gaming. Yes, starting out as a novice and nurturing your character into a great warrior is a wonderful thing (especially for those 24/7 gamers out there). But since we live on the age of instances, it is no surprise that there are some odd jobs popping out from here and there, calling out experts to play their accounts for a price, and trust us, their services are NOT cheap (can easily mount up to the cost of a car maintenance).

This May, the classic and endearing Indiana Jones hit theatres with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. To accompany the adventures, LEGO jumps starts the action by releasing the game LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures combines the total action packed sense of determination of the Indiana Jones Collection with the creativity of Lego. What’s not to love? The Previous Indiana Jones Movies that The Original Adventures are following are: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

With an inimitable action sequence, Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones through the dense jungles of South America to the eerie mountains of India. Game players will have the opportunity to build or fight their way through their favorite moments from the big screen.

All of the game industry leaders, and us mere mortals, are amazed at how much Wii has dominated its field. Not only is it an overnight success (well, sort of, it’s not like Nintendo has been a scary presence for Sony ages ago), but it seems to be keeping its momentum for quite some time now. A few years back, the experts and analysts said that it’s almost impossible for Wii to stay ahead of the game.

There are around 5 million PS3 consoles being sold annually all over the world, Wii has reached the 4 million sales mark, and the Xbox has reached the magical seven figure sales (which is almost, if not slightly more than, Japan’s population rate). These figures may not be as accurate as we might have liked it to be, but one thing is for sure, these gaming consoles are selling fast. This means that a family with kids can have a single, if not two, consoles in their house… And for sure the kids are not letting them gather up dust.

This game, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, is unbelievable in the number of players that can interact and play together on this game. Traditionally, multiplayer games have the same type of story line with the same type of weapons, and even the same way to advance from one level to the next. The Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures places a whole new spin on multiplayer action-adventure games because the fighting and warfare takes place in first person and real time and the player is totally in control of his fighting moves. Each stroke of the sword is entirely controlled by the player. The player can do combo attacks by linking sword moves to magic spells and also to arrow attacks. Each attack is put into action with individual key commands.

People are buying tons of expensive hardware just so they can enjoy their games to the fullest extent (and the prices of games nowadays ain’t peanuts either, with the dollar sinking ever so fast). However, as with most things, people often forget tweaking with their software just so their gaming experience would become better than before.
