Your Highness Review

So Your Highness was released Friday and it was the funniest film I've seen Since Meet the Spartans. Your Highness is not your average stoner comedy. There are only small parts of getting high in the movie. Your Highness is more of a medieval comedy then a stoner comedy, but still the funniest movie i've seen in 4 years and a must see for anyone looking for a good laugh. Plus as an added bonus you do yet some gore in there. There really is something in this movie for everybody. Note this movie is not for children and i would not recommend talking anyone under the age of 16 to this movie. Your Highness is a 9 out of 10

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City

As I reported earlier there is a new resident evil game coming this winter and here is the teaser trailer

Resident Evil Operation Racoon City

Xbox 360 Disc Change

Microsoft has decided that they are going to increase the size of the Xbox 360 Game Disc by 1 GB so now developers will be able to use 7.95GB on a typical dual-layer DVD. This is still over 4 times less then the Blu Ray Discs 33GB Single layer and over 9 times less then a dual-layer Blu Ray 66GB.  It will be interesting to see if Xbox 360 games will have greater visuals etc.

3DS has arrived

That's right folks Nintendo 3DS is here, but how well will it sell? For one Nintendo has announced that the 3DS is region locked which in my view is a very negative thing towards the 3DS and trying to make it a "smash" hit.  Another thing is Nintendo recommends children under 7 not play the 3DS in 3D. This is yet another negative for 3DS sales cause Nintendo targets as early as age 4.  Perhaps the biggest negative is the advertising.  The thing that bring the 3DS to the table is the 3D with no glasses however it difficult to advertise this cause no commercial can show that and people around a 3DS can not see the 3D effects only the person holding the 3DS can see the 3DS. However the 3DS has one thing that the Wii and DS never had at launch a large library for core gamers. the unfortunate side effect of this is most of the games  coming out for the core gamer audience are games that are already out for other consoles. The 3DS retails for $249.99 and games are in the $39.99. Hopefully this wasn't a huge waste of Nintendo's resources, but based on reports that pre orders for the 3DS have surpassed the Wii only time will tell if Nintendo has been about to get back in the black as their profits have been falling since 2008.
