  Does anybody else do this?

  It's strange because i never used to do this until i got older. Before if i had a stack of video games i would play all of them, doing bits of each one as i went along. My younger mind was able to get back into the game and the controls, even if i hadn't played it for more than 2 weeks. However, now i tend to play one game through to the end, before starting another one. If i do switch games, once i come back to it my mind is frazzled. I need to check to options screen for the controls, and it takes a while to pick up the story or objective again. I have a few 360 games that I've had for over 2 months that haven't even been in the console. I tend to play an involved game with a racing game or something that doesn't take to mush concentration. I guess all the partying has killed some brain cells over the years, lol.

  Denzel's right in the frame

  

  There's only one man to back the role of Barrack Obama in the first biopic of the new US President - Denzel Washington.

  The Hollywood star turned up at a celebration shindig for the new president at the weekend, as did Jamie Foxx, who is also running for the Obama gig.

  Washington, a 4-1 chance to get the role, has the perfect name for a US politician, but then again so does Foxx, whose surname is 50 per cent voting form and 50 per cent an instruction to George Bush.

  Eddie Murphy is 8-1 to portray Obama on the big screen. America's most famous black man is ending eight years of Bush, and so is Obama.

  Bill Clinton was the last president to be involved with a successful movie. That was Finding Nemo, based on a game he used to play with his interns.

  Who will play Barrck (power): Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington or Eddie Murphy?

  Resident Evil: Degeneration

  I was really looking forward to this new instalment to the Resident Evil movie series. Unlike the other three films this one was made using CGI and at last starred Leon from Resi 2 and 4. Considering that Leon is my favourite character and imagining the boundaries that could be pushed I was climbing the walls for like three weeks prior to the release date.

  I invited a friend round, turned out the lights, opened the disc tray, inserted the disc, pressed play, and then it began. The most disappointing 92 minutes ever. Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration. I mean it was OK but considering what they could of done with this it was a bit of a let down. The script was very clunky throughout and although the CGI looked good it wasn't spectacular. To be honest I think Final Fantasy the spirits within looked better. Another really annoying thing was that the original film was done with japanesse speech, so the american voice overs are all out of sync with the mouth movement. At one point Leon said something and his mouth never even moved.

  One thing i did like however was the way they made it resemble the game. The characters movement was just like they move during the game and some of the camera angles were well thought out.

  Overall it was a bit of a let down, but as I am a die hard fan of Resident Evil I was able to get some enjoyment out of it. However for twelve pounds I wish I had waited until the price dropped a bit. Unless you are a big fan of the series I would steer clear of this one for now and maybe grab it later from the bargain bin.
