The best titles for your Xbox 360

By Larry Moon

The Xbox 360 is the first of the three gaming consoles in the seventh generation that was released and because of that, the Xbox 360 currently has the most titles. This means that searching for the right games for your Xbox 360 system can be pretty tough. The newest games have an average price around $60 no matter how good or bad the game may be. Instead of trying your luck with games that have attractive box art, consider getting these 6 highly ranked Xbox 360 titles.

One of the top games last year based on reviews from very well known gaming sites was Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was developed by the same company that made Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and is an engrossing action role-playing game with post World War II setting. The Character leveling system, unreal graphics, and open-ended game play earned Fallout 3 some of the highest marks last year from reviewing sites. So if you were an Elder Scrolls IV fan you will definitely be a fan of Fallout 3.

Role-Playing games have been in high demand on the Xbox 360 ever since Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion came out. If you liked Oblivion, then you will surely like Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is an engrossing action role-playing game with a great story line, and a post World War II setting. This game comes with eccentric open-ended game play and unbelievable graphics, and is setting the pace moving forward in the Role-playing game industry.

Looking for the "World's Scariest Game"? Look no further than Dead Space. Dead Space is a very dark and thrilling game that will keep you on the edge of you seat with a third-person shooter, leaving no room to be bored.

There are also third-person shooters that are not as scary, but just as good with Gears of War 2 being one of the best. Not only is the single player experience good, but the multiplayer feature allows you to play with 9 others. Gears of War 2 also won a few awards as well making this a must-have in your game collection.

One of the best games to hit the stands this year was Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA IV won several awards last year from notable internet review sites. Not only was it one of the most highly anticipated games for Xbox but also was one of the most contested, due to its graphic nature. It comes with one extra episode that you can download on Xbox Live for more game play.

Another game that made headlines this year was a game called Braid. This is an interesting but extremely fun game that will stimulate your mind, and make you think. Puzzle games can be challenging but the musical score, and story line come very high touted by review sites.

Choosing a title can be hard if you really are unaware of what to look for in a game. Make sure that you do some extensive research on the gaming titles out there to see which ones fit you so that you get the most for your money. - 23812

What Is New In Transformers 2?

By Michael Nielsen

Everything is new in Transformers -Revenge of the Fallen, apart from the director, producer, and the central cast; however no one is going to criticise that. No one can be better than that team. The team which gave the super hit Transformers is back with a further superb creation. Transformers - revenge of the fallen is entirely new, different, innovative, and unique.

Shia LaBeouf plays Sam Witwicky, and leaders for the adventures, and Megan Fox plays Mikaela Banes, Sam's girlfriend and as earlier Peter Cullen is giving the voice of Optimus Prime, but that's the way it has to be. Hugo Weaving once again is voicing Megatron. Obviously, the movie cannot go on without Bumblebee, which is voiced by Mark Ryan.

Well, that was old and basic, now here is the most recent and fascinating part i.e. the character of The Fallen, who is told to be the main villain and the Decepticon leader. The Fallen is stimulated by some evil Decepticons from the bottom of the sea where he had been resting for several years. Afterwards, he helps the Decepticons in their encounter with the Autobots.

The Fallen was one of the primary thirteen transformers. He was always striving for power and lead Megatron into becoming the Decepticons. He spoiled and blemished Megatron. Now that's interesting and exciting, as there is a new scoundrel who is much more authoritative, evil, and deceptive. The Fallen will lead the Decepticon troops and the encounter would be more aggressive and brutal.

There is a greater scope of fight back and struggle. There are more robots, explosion, and adventure. A new degree of excitement rushes. There is more action and discovery. New and different sites, a wide range of location and scenario are major pulls of the movie. The movie is shot at different locations including Egypt, where the origins of transformers are said to be discovered.

A spoiler exposed a few new Autobots. Audi R8, a Decepticon is being followed by the Autobots. These Autobots consist of the some new transformers including an ice cream truck, which can be split known as The Twins, a hot pink cool motorbike Acree, who stunts around daringly. Also there are Wheels, a go-kart, and a hot new Porsche known as Stinger, and the old Ironhide, the arms expert GMC truck from the earlier Transformers. The Autobots try to track down Audi R8 who fail to do so but anyways that exposed some interesting things for us. Now this thrilling scene would be fun to watch.

These new robots and locations add a new flavor to the movie. The storyline is much more diverse and stirring. The characters are more independent and determined. Sam's character has a new turn about as he is alone at his college without his friends and family and even Bumblebee. He seems reluctant to face the Decepticons at first but then joins hands with the Autobots as the humans might be in danger of getting involved in the Transformer's battle.

However now, let's see how Autobots and humans hold up against The Fallen, and would they be able to thrive in saving themselves and Earth once again is still so far to be discovered. - 23812

Movie Locations in the Cotswolds

By Anna Phillips

Have you ever wondered where those memorable scenes and picturesque locations of famous movies were filmed? An avid movie fan like me would love spotting famous movie locations in this scenic place in west-central England, also referred to as the "Heart of England". It comes as no surprise that a lot of real life and fantasy cinema films such as Bridget Jones's Diary, Pride and Prejudice, James Bond's Die Another Day, Vanity Fair and the widely popular Harry Potter Adventures were shot in the Cotswolds. Let me give you a brief background of this intriguing place.

Surrounded by unspoiled beauty, this celebrated area of England that is the Cotswolds is widely known for keeping its tradition and history alive. Seasoned travelers will take pleasure in exploring a mix of sleepy villages, busy market places and quaint surroundings.

Officially declared as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966, it is one of the largest of 40 AONBs in England and Wales since the environment remains unspoiled. Here are noteworthy locations which inspired some Hollywood producers, from James Bond to Bridget Jones' Diary films.

One of my favorite movies, Bridget Jones' Diary (2000) starring brilliant actress Rennee Zellweger and Hugh Grant, was shot in the delightful village of Snowshill in Gloucestershire. Gloucester Cathedral was the spot of the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry for the Harry Potter movies. The prominent Oxford University was utilized for most of the scenes in school. Oxford City was featured on Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and The Madness of King George (1994).

Die Another Day (2002) with its ice chase scenes were filmed in the car park at Bourton-on-the-Water, famous for being "the little Venice" of the Cotswolds. The runway of the Royal Air Force aircraft at Upper Rissington was the location of the car chase scenes in this action movie. Badminton House and Dyrham Park near Chippenham was the set location for Remains of the Day (1993) which stars Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Some scenes were also shot in Corsham Court in Wiltshire.

Outstanding films like the Stardust (2007) starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert de Niro were also done in Cotswolds. The grandeur of Berkeley Castle came alive on the big screen on scenes from The Other Boleyn Girl, wherein Natalie Portman has joined the cast alongside Scarlett Johannson. Bath City was the prominent location for The Duchess featuring Keira Knightley.

The wondrous tale Vanity Fair (2004) promoted the Stanway House near Winchcombe in Bath. Character actor Johnny Depp played the role of the passionate Earl of Rochester, also filmed in the same place. Pride and Prejudice (2005) featured Luckington Court near Chippenham in Wiltshire.

This medieval community was celebrated in a number of classic movies. The Cotswolds offers a unique blend of incredible movie locations and some quiet scenery which would delight any seasoned traveller looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure. - 23812

Stream Online Movies - Streaming Video Movie

By Chris Jensen

It used to be that if you wanted to watch a video that was posted on the internet, you would have to download the whole thing, and then when it was finished downloading you would have to open it and play it. These days there are other options, including the streaming video movie, which make things much more convenient.

A streaming video movie will start playing almost as soon as you hit the play button on your screen, and it will download at the same time as you are watching it. You don't have to wait to see your video.

This type of technology is being used by a lot of different individuals and companies now. You can use it to watch movie trailers, music videos, and short videos people post that they have recorded themselves. Some companies even post video advertisements.

You can also use this same technology to be able to have a business conference using real time video, or to talk over the internet with family and friends and actually see each other. It is great for families that are spread around the world and don't get to see each other often.

However, for the best streaming video movie experience you need to have enough bandwidth and the amount of traffic on the internet. If there are too many people trying to view the video or if your bandwidth is too small you could have a choppy viewing experience. Videos that are very large also might cause problems. - 23812
