On the morning of January 15 2010,Warner Brothers, announced that Toby McGuire would not be returning to the set of the upcoming Spider Man 4 or 5 films. Instead he shall be replaced by Robert Pattenson (aka Edward Cullen). Also right along with this decision The director of the first three films, Sam Raimi may also be leaving the series apparently because of growing conflicts between him and Warner Brothers. As of the time this article was released, Warner Brothers has not yet commented on their reasons for releasing Toby McGuire from the film. However Toby McGuire apparently had said that he was the one who made the decision to leave the film stating that " I finally got tired of the film being delayed, and i told them that." Now all we'll have to do is wait and see how Spiderman looks in Sparkle vision.

Austrian Prison That’s where I want to be…
Leoben justice centre in Seiermark, Austria has been named the world’s best prison. But what makes this prison the best well lets find out. The prison only is for Minimum offenders, which can be explained by its longest allowed jail time is 18 months at the max. When the prisoners have some down tome they can enjoy the walking yards, table tennis rooms, and multimedia rooms. The owner of the prison said the reason making this prison this way was “We wanted to make the prisoners feel at home during they’re stay here, it’s not right to make a prisoner feel like they’re life is completely down the drain!”

Criminals lowering what we already thought of them.
Criminals in the past few years have decided to set the bar lower for what we already thought of them and for most of us that is already very low. I am about to show you a list of the absolute lowest of the lowest of the criminal minds.
1. Edward Williams of Houston, Texas, was given a $10,000 fine and 10 years of probation what was this man charged for. Stealing exactly 79,680 rolls of toilet paper.
2. In Portugal a man was accused of sneaking his children into a zoo. This man pulled off this by dressing all three of his children in monkey suits and proclaiming that they were “exotic monkeys”3. A man in Holland broke into a home riding on a skateboard tripped through a pane of glass and broke his leg. The man would then sue the family. HE WON THE CASE!!!!!
4. Police in Maine arrested a man who had a bag of illegal substances taped to his forehead
5. Police in Pittsburgh arrested a man for drunk driving. Not a big surprise except for the fact that the car was on fire.
6. Two burglars were arrested in Delaware for stopping and asking a cop for directions.
7. A man was arrested for reporting that someone had stolen his illegal substances
8. A man in Utah for drunk driving on his lawn mover through a jack in the box drive- thru
9. A Jamaican was arrested for hijacking a passenger plane. When asked why he did it the man stated “I dunno.”
10. A man in the U.K was arrested for taking his picture at the scene and accidently leaving his cell phone at the scene.

Call of Duty Microsoft Warfare
Microsoft has declared war on hackers and modders of there Xbox360s. Anyone who has Xbox360 and has signed up for Xbox live will now have an inactive Xbox360. Xbox live has already started to make attacks against hackers and modders when in 2007 they released the patch that would mark all people who have done these things to there Xbox’s. Instead of using simply banning these people, they used humiliation to make sure they never did this again. What Microsoft did was they labeled some of these people with the gamerzone (something that appears on your profile, which labels how you play games) of CHEATER. When the person tried to change their gamerzone it would not let them. However hackers soon found out simply getting a new Xbox live account and when ever they signed off of Xbox live they would unplug their Xbox from Xbox live and Ta-Da they couldn’t get you! Now Microsoft has decided to just start banning people. But now people have started complaining that since Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is coming out and since they are banned from live they won’t be able to play the very addictive multiplayer the game series is known for. Microsoft has come up with a solution to this problem, if people who are currently banned from Xbox live go and buy a new Xbox 360 then recovered there accounts would then be able to get back on Xbox live.

Duke Nukem Forever Is taking forever!
The cult classic video game Duke Nukem 3D shall hopefully return within the Next 100 years of our life. Duke Nukem Forever was announced in April of 1998 a few years after Duke Nukem 3D game was released in the winter of 1996 and quickly became one of the biggest selling PC games of all time. Its popularity reached stardom status and soon became a cult hit. Now most people would like too know what happened to the sequel to the hit?
Duke Nukem Forever was planned to come out in May of 1999 unfortunately this did not happen. Then it was planned to release in 2000 around Christmas time and many, many people had preordered the game and low and behold the game never appeared. So many have wondered what happened to this game well I’m going to tell you what information the company has given to the media, about the game!
The game has been in development for the past 11 years and the company has gone through ups and downs trying to get the game on store shelves before the end of the millennium. The company has stated that any former related pictures or statements to the game are now scrapped and longer relevant to the games development. So any of the fan boys who have thought they knew anything about the game you’re out of luck Mr. Fanboy you. As of now the games platforms that the company said it probably will be released on will more than likely be PC, and MAC as of now. And really that is all that is available on the game as of now. I will keep you updated as the game gets released. If you got any problems with me or my article email me at gamereviews.calloway@yahoo.com

Dragon Age Origins
Dragon Age Origins is a RPG from Bioware studios and published by Electronic Arts . The game utilizes the eclipse engine an engine that was developed by them. The game is a spiritual successor to the Baldur’s Gate series. The game is a single player adventure that doesn’t make use of the LAN capability that most other computer games utilize of nowadays. The game will be available on Nov. 13 in most stores that sell video games. The game will release on the XBOX 360, Playstation 3, and PC. The game is rated M for mature now that you have some background information lets get to the review shall we?
Dragon Age Origins has many storylines for each class in the game. For an example the Dwarf Noble class will start the game out in the royal family but a Dwarf Commoner may start out in the streets. The controls of games work smoothly on some ends. Such as on the PC the game works fine however for I wish I could speak the same for the XBOX 360 version. Bioware announced on 8 October 2009 that two pieces of downloadable content will be available on the game’s launch The Stone Prisoner and Warden’s Keep. I wish I purely wish that the game had a better way of patching up the game from the launch. The game has many problems and the first patch hasn’t fixed nearly half of the games glitches. Plus the graphics are just horrid on the XBOX 360 and on the PC have to fair the same. So now as my review comes to a close I must give you the averages from the other game reviewers, so that way I may show you a comparison of my review and the other game review peoples
Metacritic=92 %( PC) 89 %( XBOX 360)
Game Informer= 9/10
Gamespot= 9.5/10
PC Gamer UK= 94%
My review score= 6.5/10

Chinese Democracy Review
The highly anticipated album from rock gods Guns n` Roses. Incase you’ve not been in the loop and don’t know the amazing album that was Appetite for Destruction, made by Guns n` Roses in the 80’ and is one of the top selling Hard Rock/Heavy metal albums of all time. The album in opinion had three of the greatest songs of all times; Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Chile o` Mine, and Paradise City. All three of them were singles on the album. But however former band members Slash, Duff Mckagan, And all the rest of the original line up aren’t even on the album!!!!! The album has been many many years in the making so now let’s see how the album lives up in this review.
The albums tracks provide a nice variety of songs ranging from the slow to the fast to the classic songs by GNR we have come to know and love by them. However being almost decade in the making and having many many artists working on the album it can feel a bit bland and can get very boring after a while.
"Catcher in the Rye""Chinese Democracy""I.R.S.""If The World""Madagascar""Prostitute""Sorry""The Blues""T.W.A.T. (There Was A Time)" "Rhiad and the Bedouins""Oh My God""Silk Worms""Ides of March"
(Tracks not in album order)
So all together Chinese Democracy brings some good music to the table but still falls very short of other GNR classics. The albums sound and usage of Axls amazing vocals and the nice harmonizing of the instruments’ makes this a worthwhile listen. But buyer beware listen to the album on a site like http://www.grooveshark.com/ first before you purchase this album. All together this album is a 4/5
