Rockband Unplugged


Yes, Unplugged brings all the red, green, yellow and blue notes you know and love from the home versions of the Rock Band franchise and crams them onto a tiny UMD. Instead of playing with mini-bass guitars and tiny drumsticks, you'll control the onscreen action with the Left, Up, Triangle, and Circle buttons on your PSP. Yes, the bass, drums, microphone and guitar are all here, but you'll play them one at a time. Notes fall on a specific instrument's track, you tap them out as they cross the indicator line, and you score massive points. When you're done with one instrument, you'll use the shoulder buttons to scroll to the next one. Now, as you're tapping out the tunes, you'll notice a white box around the track you're on. This is the phrase indicator. When you hit every note in the phrase indicator, your multiplier increases by one and the track you were on plays by itself for a while so that you can jump to the next track that has notes falling on it. If you flub a note in a given phrase, the indicator moves further up the track so you can start again in a second. Of course, flubbing means that one of the other tracks is about to get notes on it and you're going to be missing them. So you flub and get closer to failing on the instrument you botched, and then you start getting closer to failing on the instrument that now has notes that you're ignoring because you're trying to nail the one you just botched. Whew. Just like every other version of Rock Band, you can save an instrument that has failed out by deploying Overdrive (white energy you've amassed by hitting a series of glowing white notes) and you're allowed to fail three times in a song before the music is cut short and you're deemed a loser. Unlike the other Rock Bands, if the drums are too hard for you at one point, you can jump to another track and try to wait out the insane beat on the skins or whatever instrument has you stumped. If no one's failed out, you can deploy your Overdrive energy (via X or Down) and get your multiplier doubled. This is key to getting a five-star performance.

Transformers 2


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming American science fiction action film due for release on June 19, 2009, in the United Kingdom, and June 24, 2009, in North America.[2] It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, most notably France and Egypt.
The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay finished his production on time with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger. Shooting took place from May to November 2008.

Terminator Salvation


Terminator Salvation is a 2009 American science fiction film written by John Brancato and Michael Ferris and directed by McG. It is the fourth film in the Terminator series, and stars Christian Bale as future Resistance leader John Connor and Sam Worthington as cyborg Marcus Wright. The film also introduces a young Kyle Reese from the original 1984 film, played by Anton Yelchin, as well as depicting the origin of the T-800 Model 101 Terminator. Terminator Salvation, set in 2018, focuses on the war between humanity and Skynet - a departure from the previous installments, which were set on the present day and featured time travel.
After a troubled pre-production, with The Halcyon Company acquiring the rights for the franchise from Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar and several writers working on the screenplay, filming began in May 2008 in New Mexico and ran for 77 days. The film is currently the most expensive independent production in history.[2] Terminator Salvation was released on May 21, 2009 in the United States, followed by early June releases in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
