One more review... BLOOD!

Well, I decided to write one more review.

As mentioned yesterday, I reviewed this game which is not really popular but gave me some great moments and still brings me some excitement once in a while.

Check the review and recommend it (If you like it of course)

Right now I am working on the second video movie review. I chose WALL E to be the next movie to check out. So, wait for it this weekend.

THat's all. Thanks for reading.

Movie freak coming out

Before going into detail, I want to let you know that by no means I will leave GameSpot. I think Giant Bomb is a good idea and it will grow up, but I think GameSpot is not a lost cause and I still have a lot of friends here, plus I thught that sometimes I want to say so much in a day, I have two ways to say it. By no means I will copy blogs between both sites after this one. If you don't like what I wrote here, you can go over there for different contents. Probably I will repeat links to other sites but... check this.

Back into topic, as many of you know I have decided to start a Movie review show. I really appreciate the comments everyone gave (Possitve and negative) about my performance. I think I can imporve and I shall improve. What I want to start is a more complete show, either on video or in audio (Podcasting while I wait for "MI Casa" to return) with not only reviews but comments about upcoming movies and other themes. It will be hard because well, it would have to be very long... but I think I can manage to have a 20 minutes show to start.

What will I be doing?

- Movie Review (I will review a movie which could be new or classic or just because I felt doing it )

-Recommendations (Movies you might have not seen)

- Q&A (You will have the chance to ask me some questions about moives: What I like, what you can see, etc.)

- Movie review requested by YOU! I will make a second review that will be asked by you. If I have seen the movie I will give you a quick review about it so you can know my personal opinion about it or if you are not sure to watch a movie I can tell you if it is worth watching or not. If I have not seen the movie, well, now is a good reason to do it.

anyway, that's the plan! I have no idea how could I call the show... but I will be around doing that. THe site I will be uploading it, in case it is a video will be SPIKE.com

Anyway, I hope you guys watch the show because I love movies more than I love video games so...

Second episode will be recorded this weekend. I will be reviewing WALL-E and if you have a review requests or questions, please PM me or add them on the comment side.

I want this project to be succesful. Just remember I am just a regular movie fan, I am no expert.

Thanks for your time and... Keep good gaming on!!!
