Best Video Game:

Resident Evil 4
The only good game to come out of the Nintendo Gamecube this year (due to Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess got delayed) just happens to be my game of the year, Resident Evil 4. Prior to this game I was never interested in the Resident Evil series. But after playing this game and completing it, I moved backwards and played the whole series and found that I really love this series. The only bad thing about this game is the ending. It left it wide open for a Resident Evil 5, and it's driving me nuts because I want more Resident Evil now!!!


Runner Up Games Of The Year

Animal Crossing

Castlevania: Curse Of Darkness

Perfect Dark Zero


Worst Video Game:

Nintendogs
As much time as I spent playing this game it comes to a shock that this is my worst game of the year. The concept is a good idea, you can raise up to 3 dogs, you can teach them tricks using the Nintendo DS built in microphone, you can take them for walks, link up with your friends so your pups can play together but that is not enough for me. After about a week or two, I started getting really board with the game. There are a few rare items you can find while out for "walks" like Mario Karts and other toys you can use to play with your pups but even that gets old and boring about about 30 seconds. The game might have been really good if they had a lot more mini games, more things to do with your dogs, and it would have been allot better in it included the new Nintendo Wi-Fi feature so you can take your dogs and meet other dogs around the world via the internet.


Best Movie:

Batman Begins:
This years choice was a tough one, but I went with Batman Begins. I was really worried going in to see this movie after the last two bad batman movies from the late 90's. But to my surprise this movie made up for all that other crap. Being able to see how Bruce Wayne became to be Batman really made me look at Batman allot different. This was a darker Batman movie, even a little darker then the original Tim Burton Batman movie. The supporting cast of Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and a really good performance by Morgan Freeman made Batman Begins a really fun and interesting movie to watch again and again. I know they are planning a sequel and thinking of using the Joker for the next villain, I just hope they don't take this franchise down in the sewer like they did in the 90's


Worst Movie:

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
Ouch!! That's all I can say about this one. Another great example of taking a really good movie, and deciding to make a sequel. I wanted to like this movie, but I couldn't. If you have only seen the first Deuce Bigalow movie, stay away from this one.

Biggest News Story

Hurricane Katrina:
I don't think I have to go into details with this one. Just remember its all racist, George Bush hates black people, and the government caused Katrina and that we bombed the levy's.

Best DVD Release:

Batman Begins:

It's been a long time since I sat and watched all the special features on a 2 disc special edition, but Batman Begins was a very good disc set. The making of features and other great features made this DVD the DVD release of the Year

Best DVD Box Set:

Batman: The motion picture anthology 1989-1997:
This must be the year of the bat I guess you can say. Warner Brothers finally decided to re-release these dvds with better picture, sound and loaded each movie with a shit load of special features. I always wanted to see making of features and behind the scenes of the old Batman movies and this boxset delivers that. It also includes music videos from each of the movies.

Best T.V. DVD Box Set:

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe Season 1, Box 1
It is great to have the original He-Man series come to DVD. The picture and sound are great, and makes me feel like a kid again. The special features are also very good. It has facts and info on each episode and have a few great features with interview with creators of the series


Worst DVD Of The Year

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith
The movie itself was not a bad movie, in fact it was close to being my movie of the year. The DVD however really did not really impress me. There were six deleted scenes. The only good one being a 30 second clip of showing Yoda arriving on Dagobah. The other 5 scenes are mostly involving the politics of the movie. I was hoping to see maybe another scene with Darth Vader and the Palpatine at the end, or even the scene where Yoda is able to talk and see the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn. There is a 2 hour documentary which shows what goes thru making a 30 second scene of the movie. I would have rather had a documentary talking about the making of the entire movie. There is a nice little documentary about the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker. Also included is a music video, web documentary and trailers. For the final Star Wars movie I was expecting a lot more out of the final DVD


Best TV Show

Family Guy
IT'S BACK!!! After a few years of being cancels Fox realized they made a big mistake and decided to bring back the greatest primetime show of all time. It is still as funny as it was a few years ago and this time I don't think it will be going anywhere anytime soon.

Best Album

Billy Corgan - The Future Embrace
The former Smashing Pumpkins singer has finally released his first solo album. Just like every release since "Mellon Collie" Corgan try's to do something new and fresh and he did this time as well. More of a techno sound the Future Embrace is not your hard rock, guitar solos and rocking out album but it is fun to listen to. The same day as Billy Corgan released his album, he announced he is planning on starting The Smashing Pumpkins up again. Cant wait for that!
