In the ongoing deluge of comic-book adaptations, Hellboy ranks well above average. Having turned down an offer to helm Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in favor of bringing Hellboy’s origin story to the big screen, the gifted Mexican director Guillermo del Toro compensates for the excesses of Blade II with a moodily effective, consistently entertaining action-packed fantasy, beginning in 1944 when the mad monk Rasputin–in cahoots with occult-buff Hitler and his Nazi thugs–opens a transdimensional portal through which a baby demon emerges, capable of destroying the world with his powers. Instead, the aptly named Hellboy is raised by the benevolent Prof. Bloom, founder of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, whose allied forces enlist the adult Hellboy (Ron Perlman, perfectly cast) to battle evil at every turn. While nursing a melancholy love for the comely fire-starter Liz (Selma Blair), Hellboy files his demonic horns (”to fit in,” says Bloom) and wreaks havoc on the bad guys.

The action is occasionally routine (the movie suffers when compared to the similar X-Men blockbusters), but del Toro and Perlman have honored Mike Mignola’s original Dark Horse comics with a lavish and loyal interpretation, retaining the amusing and sympathetic quirks of character that made the comic-book Hellboy a pop-culture original. He’s red as a lobster, puffs stogies like Groucho Marx, and fights the good fight with a kind but troubled heart. What’s not to like? –Jeff Shannon

Call of Duty 4 (PS3) Customer Review: Blows the Competion Away
Wow, take about immersive gameplay, if there was ever a game that makes you jump and hide every time you hear the “clink clink” sound of a grenade landing near your position, this is it. This is what the edge of your sofa was made for.

The graphics, smooth, textured and perfectly lit. finally appear to be one worthy of PS3. The sound, especially in surround is fantastic, this title has stopped me trading my PS3 for an XBOX 360, I was about to lose hope.

Quite simply the best looking, best playing, total immersive FPS money can buy.
Customer Review: Triggering Those ‘Nam flashbacks
Phew! Safe at last. Hiding in the shadows. None of those psychotic online dudes who spend 18 hours a day playing this thing can see me. Whaa? I thought I heard something behind me…

AGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here’s a pro-Sony/PS3 article for all of you that like to chastise the BetaNews staff for being biased. I notice none of you have anything good to say about this firmware yet.
