Weezer (Red Album)

Weezer’s best albums have mostly been self-titled affairs, with back-to-basics songwriting that is both clever and infectious. Weezer (Red Album) continues this trend with ten solid tracks that are undeniably Weezer. Experimental? Not exactly, but sometimes more of the same is a good thing. Standout tracks: “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived,” “Automatic.”

The Bourne Conspiracy

The Bourne Conspiracy is a third-person action game blending hunter-prey gameplay through a seamless mix of hand-to-hand fighting, gunplay and dramatic escapes, all designed around Jason Bourne’s signature combat style.

Developed by High Moon Studios in collaboration with Ludlum Entertainment, and with story and character development in conjunction with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, the game is a companion to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels.

Players experience a new storyline in The Bourne Conspiracy, becoming Bourne and playing both as a trained assassin and a marked government agent trying to uncover the conspiracy shrouding his origins. True to the Bourne franchises trademark blend of precision hand-to-hand combat and gunplay, the core to the gameplay is Bourne’s definition as a ‘perfect weapon,’ with heightened combat instinct, where players use his characteristic capabilities to recognize threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use the environment to overcome deadly situations.
