Best & Worst of 2005 Part One

Well it's that time of year again... time for me to post the best & worst things of 2005. I've decided to mix in the best and worst, strap in here we go...

Best Video Game of 2005

Resident Evil 4: This game made me go out and buy a Playstation 2, and it was soooo worth it. The controls, the pacing, the music, the graphics... perfect 10. If you haven't played this game yet.... get it... it will provide many MANY hours of zombie mutant freak killing action. RE3 is still my favorite game of all time... this comes in a close second.

Honorable Mention: Guitar Hero (PS2) Screw you DDR.. this is the way a game is supposed to be made.. and highly addictive

Worst Movie 2005

Catwoman: I dare you to site more than 5 minutes in the movie. It made me ill, I could make a better movie with a handycam and some yams.

Honorable Mention: None needed... this is the worst movie possible.

Best TV Show 2005 (Tie)

Dirty Jobs (Discovery Channel): Host Mike Rowe has a duty ... to show you the Dirtiest Jobs in America. This show covers all the dirty jobs that allow us to enjoy life, from sludge removers to charcoal packers.... it's a show that will interest you and respect those who have it a hell of a lot worse when they punch in for their 8 hours.

Rome (HBO): For the first time since the original survivor, I found myself engrossed like never before. The characters, the story, the set... all were great. This will be an immediate buy when it comes out on DVD. If you can catch a rerun on HBO... it's worth it.

Honorable Mentions: CSI (CBS), Animal Precinct (Animal Planet), Ultimate Fighter (Spike)

Worst TV Shows 2005

Dr. Phil (CBS): Nuff Said
Oprah (CBS): Nuff Said
TNA Wrestling: I only watched a few minutes... but terrible... talk about washed up roid and drug and pill poppers.
Daytime TLC: Bad Bad Bad... just don't turn it to that channel.
Ghost Whisperer: I have never seen this show.. only commercials.... the commercials convinced that this was way bad.

Best Movie 2005

Star Wars Episode III: Finally we get to see Vader being born. Nuff said.

Honorable Mention: Anything but Catwoman

More to come...
