Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution PS3
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution for the PS3 isn't a must have for PS3 owners. It is a bit hard to get into if you're not a strategy game buff. The purpose of the game is to win in one of four ways: Domination, technology, economic, or cultural. Only one of these can be achieved per time you play and it is up to you which one you want to pursue. This is defintely not a long game (maybe 4 or 5 hours at the most PER PLAY and thats only if you extend the play) and you can even beat it in about 1 hour if you do it correctly. I personally enjoy long games so as to get my money's worth. I do have to say that you can replay this game many times and it does seem different every time if you choose to go after a different victory each time. There is a difficulty setting which you can choose from and the game actually is really really difficult at higher levels. Another good thing is the number of civilizations you can choose from (around 20) and all of them have their strengths. Also if you're a history buff there is a huge amount of historical figures that appear in the game. You can choose a civilization run by Ghandi or even Mao Zedong. There are a large number of things to do in Civilization Revolution it is just that you are only able to play and achieve one specific victory per play before you have to start an entirely new game. I emphasize PER PLAY because you can spend 4 or 5 hours building your city and fighting your opponent and then it's over and then you start another game altogether from scratch. Online features are available and this is where the game gets really fun. You can face other people online and build your own city and compete against them. This to me is much more fair than the standard computer kicks your butt mode where the higher the difficulty the more advantage the computer has. I would only recommend this game to strategy game players and not so much as to a general audience. I would tell you to rent it before you buy it because it can be fun at first but then later when you want a challenge you say to yourself "why did I buy this game?"

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion-Game of the Year Edition
This was my first experience playing the Elder Scrolls series and for the most part it was an extremely enjoyable game. This game is like a first person shooter without guns...but you do get a bow and arrow if you choose. I will explain some of the good and some of the bad points about it. The strongest point of Oblivion is the sheer magnitude of the landscape and the ability to search and do anything you want. In all honesty if you explore every cave and every fort and complete every quest on the map it can take you near or past 200 or more hours!! I loved this part of the game as it kept me wanting to find new things for days. Also of note in the Game of the Year Edition (GOTY) you get an additional map AND quests that can add nearly 20 more hours of game play! So if you are wondering which edition to buy (standard or GOTY) go for the GOTY because you get everything in the standard edition plus the extras. There is a great deal of customization from the way you do quests to the character you create and you will spend hours doing anything and everything you want. However as you play for a few hours you will notice that things seem to get rather boring...Which brings me to the bad part of the world of Oblivion. Yes you can spend days and months playing and doing everything out there but you will soon notice that every time you explore a cave or start killing bandits in all of the forts...they all start to look the same and the bad guys rarely change as well. Let’s say you're wandering around and you stumble upon a cave you havn't seen before...you go in, loot the treasure and head out again...you then find another cave several miles away and you're saying "ALRIGHT!! I FOUND ANOTHER ONE" you go inside and loot the treasure and think to yourself "was I just in here?" All caves and all forts while different in the way their set up (meaning in one cave you'll have to cross a river or something and the next cave you'll have to go through a maze) offer you little difference in the way they look. So yes there are hundreds of places to explore but if you do look in all of them, it gets extremely dull after awhile. Another bad point is the bugs and glitches. Some are small little things that look out of place while others are darn right nasty. It happened to me several times where I was doing an entire quest and in the end a glitch prevented me from completing it. This is probably my main gripe so heed my words...SAVE and save often in this game because I can almost guarantee you that at some point you'll be playing for hours and a bug will hit and you'll want to go back and restart but can't do it. The glitch/bug problem along with sometimes monotonous gameplay prevents me from giving Oblivion GOTY an absolutely perfect score (I don’t give a perfect score unless it is a perfect game). But hear me out, this game is a must have or at the very least a must play. It is massive and absolutely gorgeous in graphics and is one of the greatest games I own.

Indiana Jones is good...most of the time.
I have been an Indiana Jones movie fan since I saw the first one many years ago. The adventure as well as the comic timing are what makes the Indiana Jones series so endearing for young and old. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will make you say “I remember that!” or “I remember them!” Which is fun because you will find yourself talking about the old movies for a few seconds and realize “Oh yeah, the movie is on.” Yes, this Indiana Jones movie is good but I was actually kind of disappointed overall. Remember when the first one came out and you were so excited about what a great movie it was and then they announced the Temple of Doom? While good, Temple of Doom wasn’t as great as the original and I kind of had that Temple of Doom feeling all over again after watching the new Indiana Jones. It seems as though Indiana Jones has that “every other generation” disease because the third Indiana Jones movie with Sean Connery was great but the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a bit of a let down. Don’t get me wrong, I liked this new Indiana Jones movie, but it didn’t have that lasting feeling like the first and third one did. First of all it is too predictable. I won’t spoil it for you but if you want this movie to be total surprise I will tell you this…DO NOT LOOK AT THE COVER CLOSELY OR READ THE BACK OF IT AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES. I did this and said to myself “Oh my gosh, look at that…oh, I bet I know what is going to happen.” Sure enough without even watching the movie I guessed one of the “surprises” and was actually disappointed that I wasn’t surprised. You will be able to do this too if you’ve seen the older movies and accidently recognize a certain someone on the cover. Also the plot of the movie was way too linear for me. In past movies I loved it when Indiana went from one place to another gathering clues and solving the puzzle, but in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when Indiana goes somewhere, he always finds exactly what he is looking for instead of being puzzled by what he finds. I guess Indiana is old and wise at this point to where he doesn’t have to look as hard anymore. Instead of puzzles, you have action scenes which are numerous from the moment you hit play. Yes this new movie does have its flaws but it is a great movie none-the-less. It is not as great as the original but then again, what movie ever is other than the Godfather 2. The predictability and somewhat action heavy plot keep this from being a classic. This is a must own for Indiana fans but for the rest of us that don’t have to own it…I’d say it’s a rental.
