this week I have a new online game for you as well as a review AND a new segment where I tell you about the hot tv shows you should be watching!

Review: the Movies

The Movies is the game Machinima creators have been waiting for (for those of you that dont know machinima is the creation of film using video games). In this game you run a movie studio, doing everything from hiring Janitors and building sets to keeping your hottest stars happy, you can also use the most comprehensive movie creation tool ever. First off, the tycoon aspect of the game is great, it may not be the best but it certainly is one of the better ones Ive played, as it is quite deep and lasts for a very long time, which is nice as you get to see your studio grow over 85 years of filmmaking. As fun as the tycoon aspect is, the star of the show here is the movie maker, which makes the Sims 2's look like a child's toy. The first thing you'll notice about the movie maker is the massive number of sets and scenes there are, soon after you will realize the complexity of the system, but never fear! There are a great number of tutorials to help you get started and you can upload your movies to The Movies Communit Website. Although the movie maker is a bit intimidating this game is great fun for anyone who enjoys machinima or tycoon games.

Final Verdict: 9/10
the good: Seeing the reviews of Real people online praising your newest release.
the bad: seeing the reviews of your first few movies...
the ugly: watching your star's steady decline into alchohol addiction.
