Yale Student Sues for Lost Xbox

Jesse Maiman, 21, has sued US Airways $1 million for a lost Xbox. It is stated that the Xbox has a "specialized" hard drive of some sort, although to what extent is not known. If the airline does not want to take up the court case, Jesse Maiman demands that they pay $1700 for the system, and the maximum damages allowable. A spokeswoman for the airline said that government limits liability for lost luggage to $3,300 per bag. The Xbox was lost during his flight from Conneticut to Cincinatti, back in December. In my opinion, anything of value should not be put into luggages onto airplanes, especially if one is travelling to or from the US, unless it is small enough to be carried on your person, or put into a carry-on travelling bag. Too often does belongings keep getting messed up or gone missing since security is so tight in the US that almost everything must be checked extremely thoroughly.

Mortal Kombat vs DC and Left 4 Dead

Mortal Kombat vs DC universe and Left 4 Dead were both released last tuesday. Mortal Kombat vs DC universe is quite an amazing game, allowing the player to play with some of the all time favorite Mortal Kombat characters including Raiden, Scorpian, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang and several others. DC Universe's characters include the big-name superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Flash and a few others. Character selection, despite having some great choices, is limited to only 20 characters and no unlockables. The gameplay is quite good as well with an interesting storyline. Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is a great game and very well worth playing.

Left 4 Dead is another game that was released last tuesday. Again this game is also very fun in its own ways. The gameplay is in a single player shooting style, but still different than most single-player shooting games. Where other games have missions that repeat themselves no matter how often u restart, this one has an amazing replayability function. Every time you play, you can choose a different course of actions and that will usually lead to other paths as well. Another thing about this game is that it is almost like being in a movie, capturing the zombie film genre feeling perfectly. This leaves the player feeling a little spooked as well as entertained with the surprisingly fun shooting of zombies, which seem quite realistic as well. Though the graphics aren't top-notch, after playing a few minutes of the game will make you completely forget about any visuals. Multiplayer with this game is also proving to be very addicting.

If anyone ever gets the time, check out these games. They're quite worth the time.
