(A bit of a stretch to call these first impressions, I suppose.)
As you may recall from one of my earlier posts, I was singing Just Cause 2′s praises. I also mentioned that it’s some of the best video game fun I’ve had in a while.

There is something utterly beautiful about falling. There are few sensations that amount to the rush of letting go and letting perhaps the most profound force of physics take control.

It should be no surprise, then, that a game revolving around the control of gravity be a bombastically satisfying experience.
Even if you’re only mildly involved in the K-Pop world, then you know 2NE1 (pronounced twenty-one), or at least their mega-hit I Am The Best which broke out huge last year. This group of four ladies, CL, Minzy, Dara and Bom, form a group which in part defined the cool mix of Hip Hop, dance, and K-Pop which is now the trend in the industry. While not the first to harness this match-made-in-music-heaven in Korea, they are certainly one of the most notable and most internationally loved of the group and remain relevant to this day.
But having such a massive hit as that, its always hard to top it. Case in point, the single that dropped after it, a Japanese language track called Scream was pretty terrible. But now, we’ve gotten their new single, I Love You. So will it make you fall head over heels, or would you not even go on the second date?
