9/25 Weekend Box Office Results
It was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, not one of the new releases, that topped the box office for the weekend of 9/25. Meatballs dropped a remarkably low 20% from last week to haul in 24.6 million and take the crown for consecutive weeks. Family targeted pictures generally drop off less than other genres, but a lack of competition along with the 3D and IMAX hauls made for an especially strong second weekend. Coming in second was the Bruce Willis vehicle Surrogates which pulled in 15 m...

NBA 2K10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With NBA 2K10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. For NBA 2K10 the actual install process took 8:46 and the game comes in at 6.2 GB. Unlike all the other games I've examined the loading time improvement from the hard ...

If you would like to see a specific player featured in a screenshot please leave that name in the comments. Limit it to one player, court, or jersey per request please or it'll be passed over. As I am expecti...

Review: Surrogates
Surrogates has an intriguing concept but ultimately doesn't deliver on it. Bruce Willis plays FBI agent Greer who is investigating the deaths of two people who at the time were plugged into their surrogates. The surrogates provide the opportunity for people to live out their lives through the use of a robotic avatar. Never having to leave the house has benefits such as crime being practically being eliminated. That is the case until it is discovered that these two people had been killed with a...
