Blacksite Area 51 Xbox 360 Demo Released

I am having a lot of fun with this demo. I've played through it twice so far. One time playing through normally and the next just blowing stuff up and destroying some of the destructible environments. A lot of stuff can be shot at and each has some cool effects. I liked shooting the cash registers and ATM machine in the convenience store. Also the soda machines are fun to shoot. Same with the fountain drink dispensers. Download the demo today, it is pretty cool. I'm definitely going to check this one out when it is released. Too bad it is not scheduled to come out until the end of September though.

Spider-Man 3

I saw Spider-Man 3 over the weekend and really enjoyed it. It was good for what it was. I still feel that Venom was put in too soon and was rushed a little bit. Still the movie was very enjoyable. Also you just have to love the Bruce Campbell cameos in the Spider-Man movies.
