Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto III

Everyone loves San Andreas, but I've always preferred this one, especially Vice City. By the way, it's been 10 years since its release and it's coming to tablets and smartphones, how time flies...

Spoiling the ending is bad, always. I remember the movie being watchable, but it's been over 15 years since I last saw it...

I must still have the VHS somewhere, the problem is that I don't have a VCR or an analog TV to enjoy it, damn progress...

I wanted to do it myself, back in 2009, when the project seemed dead and buried, especially since the soap opera behind it is, all things considered, more interesting than the product itself. I believe the critics have been a bit harsh across the ocean (on the contrary, here I’ve seen things like 8/10, which are beyond comment), and the fact that they referenced the horrific console versions afflicted by ridiculous framerates and unwatchable textures didn't help. At least on PC, this stuff wasn't there: sure, it's still UE2.5 stuck in 2004, and no matter how much they drown the image in horrible filters like blur, DOF, and ambient occlusion, it still remains outdated. Then there are the structural flaws, and those don’t pass even in extreme HD at 300 frames per second. I think the biggest accusation that can be made is that it was offered at full price, given that it’s effectively a budget title, but after 30 million dollars wasted over 12 years, T2 definitely wanted to recoup something, and they tasked Gearbox with packaging what they had and going heavy on the marketing. It almost worked; it’s not a horrifying title as they described, it’s almost a parable of the last 10 years of FPS, with poor design choices here and there and a few well-inspired stages (like Duke Burger). This is a game that rewards you if you put a rat in the microwave: it’s up to you whether that makes you smile. Rating: 2.5/5

The eye care articles are coming out very slowly, and today there are even 2 duplicates of reviews that were released a week ago?

Until the release of Abduction last week, it was universally acknowledged as the worst film of 2011... now that it has lost even that title, I can't find a single valid reason to put up with these Smurfs in New York.

I have always found it depressing that some people dare to even compare South Park or Family Guy to this stuff, which is so monstrously mediocre. If this stuff really makes you laugh, you have issues, or you’re under 10 years old, and that’s that. The final line of the review is a definite 1, but I feel generous.

Guys, Grindhouse is the genre, and the name that directors have given to the films, which in their original version are slightly shorter but are a unique screening, just like it used to happen with grindhouse movies, practically produced and shown "in bulk." Tarantino's film is called Death Proof.

one of the best things Rodriguez has done, and paradoxically, everything that Death Proof wasn't but should have been.

Lestat from Anne Rice has nothing to do with the emo vampires of Twilight. Let’s make this clear: here, vampires don’t roam around in daylight and don’t pick up boring whiny teenagers. In fact, the character of the little Dunst is exemplary. It’s true that the film doesn’t say much (actually, it says very little), but 5 minutes of this overshadow all the rubbish with action vampires that followed (Blade, Underworld, and other terrible junk), not to mention the emo vampires, which I won’t even dwell on.
