  What's Up with the negativity?

  Since the day i bought my newest playstation 3 i have been waiting for some really good games. Although heavenly Sword and Warhawk are good games they really aren't the system sellers. Few games stood out of the crowd including resistance: Fall of Man which in my opinion is the best game for the eystem so far.Not to mention most of the Playstation ports of a respective gameare always delayed and as a result they are often of very low quality than their fellow ports. Perhaps the best example of this can be the PS Version of F.E.A.R, which suffered from of the worst audio i have ever witnessed in a game. Ports like these further hinder the growth of the system becaue many people assume that its the system's fault that the game is of inferior quality.Although it is true that because the new Cell Processor is such a new piece of technology that obviously its going to take some time to master it completely but i am sick and tired of those pesky Nintendo and Microsoft Fanboys comparing their systemsto Playstation 3. I mean both systems have some kind of advantage over the system. Xbox 360 had a full year head start against PS3 and Wii is the cheapest console of this generation. yet they compare the system head to head against their own systems. Look at the console versisons of Quake 4 and Prey. Quake 4 suffered downgraded visuals and horrible frame rate and Prey wasn't an instant hit.So enough with the negativity and give us a break.

  Horror In Hollywood.

  Few months ago i went to see the movie The hills Have Eyes 2. I thought that finally Wes Craven and his Son might be able to deliver the sense of horror i so badly want in horror movies but sadly it was even more pathetic than i thought. The whole movie was one giant Gorefest. Whant i really want to know is that what on earth is happening with the Horror genre in Hollywood. I mean 2 or 3 decades ago we made some truly good horror movies such as Exorcist, Nightmare on elm Street. I mean i was actually afraid of what might be under my bed after watching Nightmare on Elm Street but i don't know what is happening today to horror movies. Today i laugh at them while i am watching them. There is no sense of dread, horror and creepiness which made movies such as Rosemary's Baby an instanthit. All i see in today's horror movies are gore, gore and more gore. Another thing that really bugs me is the lack of a good story in today's horror movies. Heck they can't even make a good remake of an original. For example i was literally scared after i saw the original Japanese Ringu but i didn't even felt a slightest bit of horror in the American remake of the movie. Are we really that helpless that we can't even make a good remake? Lack of originality is another thing which, in my opinion is plaguing the horror genre. All they can show now in a horror movie is creepy little girls and pld demented houses. We have two of the most brilliant minds in Horror fiction yet we do nothing to use their material to a good use. I am a big fan of both Stephen King and an even bigger fan of H.P. Lovecraft and personally i prefer Lovecraft over King. Yet still directors don't use his stories. Personally i am so fed up with these cheesy horror movies that now i really don't even care if this genre fades away much like Westerns (a genre i dearly miss).
