Picks of the Week

GAME

In such a busy week it can be difficult to choose one single game above all others. With titles like Eye of Judgement, Ace Combat 6, and others you’ve got a lot of goodies to choose from.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction stands out though as possibly one of the first true must own PS3 exclusive titles.

It’s the classic action platform brought back for the next-gen with amazing visual, crazy weapons, and over the top game play. If you purchase one game this week, be sure to snag this.

DVD

The movie this week was a pretty simple choice. With all of Stanley Kubrik’s films getting the hidef treatment, Full Metal Jacket stands out after getting a pretty poor showing on DVD. For the longest time the only way you could watch this classic was on a standard frame version. This simply wouldn’t do.
