The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,Sony's Smash Brothers rip off and other random nonsensical stuff!

I am currently reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because after watching the 2011 film version I felt compelled to read the entire trilogy to keep me over until the remakes come out. I know there is a Swedish version readily available for my viewing pleasure but I am spoiled I want to see the shinier one with the ever so talented Ms Rooney Mara--she deserves an oscar Hollywood--and oh yes there is Daniel Craig. Additionally, a close friend of mine who have already watched the Swedish versions said that the 2011 version is several times better. I've also read, from random posts, that recent film iteration of the characters  are more inlined with novel than the Swedish version. In conclusion, I probably won't ever be watching the Swedish versions so in the mean time I am gong to be entertaining myself with the novels.

As for the movie...um, I enjoyed it despite not being a fan of those type of movies and the plot wasn't much to talk about since it has been done in other films but that wasn't draw at all. It's the amazing characters, especially, Lisbeth Salander that took the movie to new heights for me. Such a peculiar but interesting character with many layers in her flawed but mysterious personality. I am not much of a movie critique but I know a excellent movie when I see one and this one is no exception, it is one of the better movies of last year.

Anyway back to familiar territory, fighting games, and as for fighting games, Sony what the hell are you doing are looking to be sued out of your ass from Nintendo for shamelessly ripping off Smash Brothers? The game looks and plays almost exactly like Nintendo's fighter without the Nintendo iconic characters with Sony, lesser known, characters instead. However, I must admit it looks bloody fun and I don't mind playing it if I were given the opportunity to.  Outside of this, I have nothing really to report or talk about since the gaming scene, as of new games to be announced and played, has been rather lackluster. I wished I was in FL in my new home playing some games with my new roommates instead of being trapped in NY. Ugh, I am dying for my obligations to be over so I can get back to my gaming life.
