Off-road racing? we love it!
This is only...
MOTORSTORM
GAMEPLAY
This is dirt track racing at it's finest. We have cars, trucks, bikes, and atv's all pitted against one another in fast paced racing action. The cool thing with the tracks in motorstorm, is that they all have multiple routs, meaning that you can do all three laps, and go a different way each time, and i can even attest to this. It doesn't have a speedometer similar to Mario Kart, and you use a lot of boosting, and by that I mean a lot. The coolest aspect is how awesome the crashes are. Also this was one of the first and only racing games to utilize the sixaxis motion controls, so you can also play this like Mario Kart Wii, which is really sweet.
GRAPHICS
The desert canyons look tremendous, the car models are animated well, so I can"t complain in this department. The Crashes are very realistic looking, and are a lot of fun to watch. It, like most of the launch window games for the system, it doesn't have the best graphics, although they were super sweet for the time.
CONTENT
The car crashes, while fun, could be unsettling to some players. There are some songs with suggestive lyrics that play in the background, but this can be cut off in the options menu.
CONCLUSION
Motorstorm is a game that while fun, is lacking in other areas, such as the lack of splitscreen multiplayer. It is fun, but as with a lot of games, flawed.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK
STORY
The plot follows Dr. Bruce Banner, who is on the run from the government. 5 years prior, bruce had been working with the government to re-create the captain america serum, but when this backfires on him...his mullecular structrue changes, so that when he's angry he turns into a green rage monster called the Hulk. When he's not running throughout south america, he's trying to find a cure, but out of nowhere a possible leads brings him back to the one place...he just can't go..the U.S.
CONTENT
Hulk smashes lot of people when he's angry. The whole point of this film, is that he dosen't want to be angry, but people just keep making him angry. There's some suggestive themes, as well as language. Overall this movie is not as bad content wise as Iron Man.
CONCLUSION
The Incredible Hulk is much better than the 2003 film HULK. Although it feels somewhat like a sequel, it's actually a reboot, and the second film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hulk is a darker story than Iron Man, but not as crude. The backstory is only shown in a quick flashback in the opening credits, so it does help to have some form of knowledge regarding the hulk when watching this. The story is good, the acting is good, and the movie is good...just not as good as Iron Man.
