Old Site Announcements

Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:47 pm EDT

There was once a time when we used to post every little bit of news we could think of. Here's proof! Feel free to read as much as you want, but we're just keeping this mass of text for archival (and nostalgic) purposes.

July 13, 2008
Wow, it's definitely been a while since I've said anything. I have not abandoned the project, and I am still aiming for a summer release. I'm hoping to have some sort of deadline soon, but I really don't want to let people down, so I will wait a little longer. I am basically done with all of the HTML and CSS scripting, and am now doing the heavy-duty PHP/SQL and some AJAX to make it look pretty. There was actually a period of about a month where I didn't have access to my host to work on the site, but I am doubling my efforts to make up for it. Even though school has ended, I am still very busy learning to drive. The other staff members are busy with jobs (for the older ones) and summer activities (for the younger ones). Because SilkyBob has been working at a movie theater, he's been able to get into Hancock (PG13, 2008) for free. Check out his review, which was sent to me today!

May 4, 2008
Well, it looks as if we forgot to post anything for a whole month again. Sorry about that; I'm still working on the redesign and forget to post here from time to time. I've been really busy recently with the ACT, SAT, and various AP tests that are coming up this week. Coding and graphic design is moving along, albeit very slowly, and I am still hoping for a summer release of version 3.0. Please forgive me if I don't post much until then. Thanks for helping us reach the 4000 friend mark!

February 29, 2008
I just wanted to post something today considering that it is the 29th and it will be another four years before we can make a post like this again. Happy Leap Year!

February 20, 2008
40,000 hits! Cool! It would've been cooler to reach the mark two days ago!

February 18, 2008
Today Ultimate Reviews celebrates its third birthday! This is probably going to be the smallest celebration so far, and I plan to post some screenshots of the new site layout later today. Thanks for all your support, we wouldn't be where we are today without all of you.
New Home Page (Most likely to change before release)
Movie Reviews Page (Complete)
Example review page (Some minor adjustments to make)

February 15, 2008
Sorry that I didn't include much in my post yesterday. Over the past few days I haven't really had an internet connection due to phone problems. I now have about 150 Freewebs messages to read and reply to. I'll probably take an hour over the weekend to knock them all out in one sitting. Anyways, the site's third birthday is coming up, and I don't really have anything planned! I guess I'll just release some screenshots of the new look unless I can come up with something better. See you then!

February 14, 2008
Happy Valentine's Day!

January 25, 2008
Sorry about the lack of updates again. I haven't really had time to post recently, partly because I'm currently getting over a cold. I had to post something for the month, however, so I'm putting up Irish Monkey's review for Bioshock (M). As for the new layout, I have designed the basic format but have yet to put the pieces together to make a functional site. All of my helpers have virtually vanished as far as I know, and so I am basically working on my own from now on. I'm now shooting to be finished during the summer (possibly by the end of June?)

December 25, 2007
Merry Christmas! I got my hands on the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium Package, so I'm happy to say that the new site design will include some flash applications! Now to find some good tutorials....

December 12, 2007
After only about three months, we have finally hit the two thousand Freewebs Friend mark! I guess that's another Freewebs first to add to our list of accomplishments. How odd that it's been almost exactly one year since we were featured (for the second of three times) on the Freewebs home page. Check the archives page if you don't believe us! Anyways, today is also a cause for celebration because we hit the 10,000 page view mark on our Freewebs Profile. It's amazing how good things happen in groups like this. If you were wondering, there will not be a Freewebs Party for this occasion, because we're saving all of our parties until we're done with the new site layout (and by then we'll probably have three thousand friends!)

December 5, 2007
Well, I stumbled on a strange error in our Comics pages. If you didn't realize, the background for the comics is supposed to be black, but for some reason it has been showing up white this whole time! I can't imagine how long it's been sitting there unfixed like that. I've fixed them all by hand, since the coding was quite outdated. Don't forget, this is just temporary anyways, the new format will not even resemble what is here for now. A holiday template is on the way!

December 1, 2007
Here's my review for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (T). When I get a chance, I'll review Beowulf and Bee Movie too.

November 22, 2007
Happy Thanksgiving!

November 12, 2007
Wow... time is flying. Anyways, here's my review for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (M). I have one for Guitar Hero III coming up soon. PHP/SQL progress is dragging on, and I have yet another volunteer helping out (which makes 5 of us). I'm hoping to be done by January.

October 31, 2007
Happy Halloween. I'll leave this template up for another week or so.

October 29, 2007
Happy Birthday Margrock! I also forgot to say something to Rellik7778 on his birthday, so happy belated birthday to you too!

October 13, 2007
If you haven't noticed for yourself, I have uploaded the Halloween skin to the site, so expect these pretty colors to be around for a little while. Anyways, here's a review from SilkyBob for We Own the Night (R, 2007).

September 30, 2007
I obviously had to take a break from my intense coding to bring you my Halo 3 (M) review.

September 18, 2007
No we aren't dead! School has been very time consuming, and I am especially busy because I am working on coding the new site in PHP! Soon you will be able to use a single account to use a forum, write your own reviews, and hopefully use a chatroom too! Expect new review sections for music, books, web sites, and more! Sorry if I don't post in a long time, it's just that the new site is being made secretly and I don't want to tell you about those updates.

August 28, 2007
I forgot to mention that Rellik7778 submitted 5 new reviews yesterday.
[Ali G Indahouse (R, 2002), The Bourne Ultimatum (PG13, 2007), Dead Silence (R, 2007), Hot Fuzz (R, 2007), WarioWare: Smooth Moves (E)]

August 20, 2007
Today I have four new additions for the Advertise for Us page.

August 19, 2007
One new Movie Review by SilkyBob If you haven't figured it out for yourself yet, I haven't written any reviews in a long time. This is because I am working on yet another template. This new template will be streamlined for fast page loading, and allow users to sign up to our site and write their own reviews and post in a brand new forum. This may take a few months, and more information will be revealed as the date gets closer.
[Superbad (R, 2007)]

August 12, 2007
Today we have a huge pile of new reviews for you. We have five from Irish Monkey, one from SilkyBob, and one from Zebrati
[Dead or Alive 4 (M), The Ship (T), Shadowrun (M), World of WarCraft (T), The Bourne Ultimatum (PG13, 2007), Rush Hour 3 (PG13, 2007), Transformers (PG13, 2007)]

August 10, 2007
Here is SilkyBob's new review for Wild Hogs (PG13, 2007)
[Wild Hogs (PG13, 2007)]

August 8, 2007
Well, we're back! And what a great vacation it was! To get back on track, here are two new reviews from SilkyBob.
[Hot Fuzz (R, 2007), 28 Weeks Later (R, 2007)]

July 29, 2007
Starting today, the Ultimate Reviews staff will be going on a brief ten day vacation. We planned the party just before we'd take off, so we think you all might be able to survive without us. The party was extremely successful, and we're very thankful for the great turnout. Well, we'll see you in a few days!

July 28, 2007
It is officially tomorrow, which means I will be going to bed. The "party page" still works, and the chatroom is still operational. I guess we can call the next few hours the "after party". Thanks for all your support; we didn't quite reach the Guestbook goal, but it was more about seeing all of our friends, whether they were old or new! We thank you all for coming, and if you missed the party, well, I'm sorry to say you missed out on a great time! I really liked the way the entire day worked out, and I was very impressed by the calm and friendly cooperation that we experienced the entire day. Expect another party in the next few months. To make things easier on me (the advertiser), please subscribe to our site! We will only be emailing you for major site updates and parties, which will really be no more than once a month. Thanks everyone!

July 27, 2007
Today is the date of the Freewebs Party! Leave your mark in the Guestbook, then stop by the new party room. On the home page, there is a temporary link on the navbar that will take you straight there! By the way, we're hoping to get a thousand guestbook signatures! Today also marks the beginning of a new competition: The Freewebs Friends Competition! See for yourself over at the Community page (it's one of the bulletins). Get chatting!

July 24, 2007
It's here! It's finally here! The new template is complete! You can surf all you want, we promise it's finished. By the way, this is in celebration of our 1000 Freewebs Friends! There will be a big celebration soon.

July 12, 2007
30,000 hits! Cool! Anyways, I forgot to mention that SilkyBob wrote a review yesterday, followed up by a review from me today. They were both for the new Harry Potter :)

July 6, 2007
Hey everyone, it's Tusserte again. Just a quick update: I didn't want to be outdone by Irish Monkey, so I took a break from coding the new template to write a review for Live Free or Die Hard (PG13, 2007). The glitches in the template are all smoothed out (I've given out a few sneak peeks to friends to be sure), so I'm basically just working on transferring all of the information into the new format. Instead of releasing the template, I'm planning on releasing it on a certain date for a certain reason. I won't explain why until it happens, so keep your eyes peeled and be ready for some big changes.

July 5, 2007
Your favorite Monkey here. Well, the site has been a ghost town, due to large amounts of school work, and on some people's parts (SilkyBob), total uncaring. Plus, I just returned from France, my 3rd favorite country. I'll try to pull some pictures off of some sites and off of my friends, but that probably won't happen. Sorry guys and gals. But! If you do ever find yourself on an Air France flight, make sure to play Tik Rak Toe, the French version of Connect Four. The beauty of the French one is that it has power ups! Well, that's really all I have to say right now. All of the review staff will be incapacitated for a while, due to a family reunion! Oh, and I'll also pick up the work load now that Arlington Public Schools are on summer vacation. So expect to see reviews (I've already written two), and just say nope to dope. Wishing you a Happy Fourth of July... peace.
[new reviews: Bridge to Terabithia, Blades of Glory]

June 29, 2007
Due to bad luck (involving some spyware or a virus, I don't really know which) and other complications, site progress had been delayed for a short period. It has begun to pick up again, and I'm still doing my best to get through those template bugs. Sorry, and I hope to have more news soon. By the way, do you like the new emoticons I designed? Here's the full list so far (we're going to install them in the new forums).

June 22, 2007
The new look has never been closer, we're just fixing up a few last bugs in the layout. In the meantime, I wrote a Movie Review for The Last King of Scotland (R, 2007).

June 16, 2007
The new general design for the site (not for the Movie Reviews or Game Reviews) is almost complete, and you will begin to see drastic changes in occuring over the next week or two. We're doing our best to keep as much of the site open as possible, but please forgive us if certain areas stop working temporarily. We promise it'll be worth it.

June 12, 2007
I just wrote my review for 28 Days Later (R, 2002). More to come....

June 11, 2007
Here's my review for Ocean's Thirteen (PG13, 2007). I should probably go back and review the other ones too....

June 7, 2007
Finally, we can stop worrying about schoolwork! Here's my review for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (PG13, 2007).

June 3, 2007
Happy Birthday Tusserte!

May 21, 2007
Just added two more games to the Games page: Pacman and Donkey Kong. Check them out!

May 13, 2007
Happy Mother's Day!

May 7, 2007
Here's my Movie Review for Hot Fuzz (R, 2007).

May 6, 2007
SilkyBob has just finished up his review for Spider-Man 3 (PG13, 2007), you can check it out on the Movie Reviews page! He also just posted his review for Guitar Hero II (T), so check that out too!

May 5, 2007
Here's my Movie Review for Spider-Man 3 (PG13, 2007). Hope you like it!

April 30, 2007
And we're back! It's been a long month, but the bugs with our domain have been smoothed out. It may not work when you visit it, but by tomorrow, it will be working 24/7 again.

April 23, 2007
Well, it looks like SilkyBob didn't correctly renew our domain, which would explain why ultimate-reviews.net doesn't work when you visit it. We're working to fix this (which will probably be an expensive task), and the problem should be smoothed out within a week. The site will be fully functional within the next two weeks. Sorry!
P.S. You can help speed up the process by donating!

April 18, 2007
We seem to be having domain troubles, but you can still access our site at freewebs.com/ultimate_reviews! Also, happy birthday to Zebrati!

April 16, 2007
Here's my Movie Review for The Gay Divorcee (1934).

April 15, 2007
Here are my Movie Reviews for Curse of the Golden Flower (R, 2006), Children of Men (R, 2006), and The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963). Hope you like them!

April 14, 2007
Sorry I've been so inactive recently. Here's a review for Gears of War (M). Also, I've updated my review for Guitar Hero II (T) to include information about the Xbox 360 version.

April 8, 2007
Hello, I was away on another vacation (this time touring colleges on the East Coast)! Just got back in time to wish you a Happy Easter!

Just posted a new Movie Review for Goldfinger (PG, 1964).

March 10, 2007
Here's a new Movie Review for Flyboys (PG13, 2006). Sorry I haven't been around, I've actually been touring Montréal, Canada. Cool, huh? Here are some pics; I know it may be tempting (considering I'm such a good photographer and all...), but please just look (no stealing!) [pictures removed]

February 24, 2007
See that new little link? The one on the Navigation Bar between the Games and Downloads pages (the one called Forums)? Hmm, might want to check that out, eh? It's kinda temporary, but it'll do! Also, here's a new Movie Review for The Departed (R, 2006), although right now it doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment in comparison.

February 23, 2007
...And a new Movie Review for The Grudge (PG13, 2004).

February 22, 2007
Here's a new Movie Review for The Truman Show (PG, 1998).

February 18, 2007 - 2 Year Anniversary!
And there goes another year! Thanks for being with us all this time! Here's a new comic, the first one that wasn't created by Zebrati (he's been busy with college stuff, poor guy). Here's the new article: 2 the Max!

February 14, 2007
Happy Valentine's Day!

February 4, 2007
We'd like to wish a happy birthday to Irish Monkey, as well as a win for the Bears! Go Chicago!
EDIT: Oh well, there's always next time (hopefully it won't take another 21 years!)

February 2, 2007
Happy Groundhog Day! Spring is on the way! January is archived, too.

January 24, 2007
Here are two reviews: one for Silent Hill (R, 2006), and one for Guitar Hero II (T).

January 23, 2007
Wow, 20,000 hits! That was fast! As you've probably noticed, we've even stopped mentioning the 1,000 mark hits. We might be lazy, but it's your fault :)

January 13, 2007
We have two new games for the Games page, Ghost Rider Demon Duel and Ghost Rider Hellfire. Check them out!

January 12, 2007
Here's a new Movie Review for Get Shorty (R, 1995).

January 11, 2007
Here's a new Movie Review for Lady in the Water (PG13, 2006).

January 10, 2007
Just wrote a new review for Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (E10+).

January 7, 2007
Here's a new Movie Review for Jet Li's Fearless (PG13, 2006). We're also sorry to announce that we've taken down Silky's Sports because of SilkyBob's failure to update. We might bring it back in the future.

January 1, 2007
Happy New Year! 2006 went by so fast! Doesn't matter, 2006 was so yesterday. Well, here's a Movie Review (the first of 2007) by Irish Monkey for Eragon (PG, 2006).

December 25, 2006
Merry Christmas '06! We've been a little busy due to personal issues that we won't go into, but things should be picking up soon.

December 18, 2006
Wow... 10,000 hits. I'm speechless (but not really). Some new content coming soon!

December 17, 2006
We're out of bandwidth! Oh well, at least the reviews show up... or do they?! Anyways, I have a late Silky's Sports article... sorry we've been so busy (it's almost Christmas!). Edit: We've got the bandwidth problem sorted out, so everything should be in order (we hope!)

December 16, 2006
And... we're still on the home page. Cool! That brings us to 9000 hits!

December 15, 2006
Well, it's been a little over a month, and we're on the Freewebs home page again! Thanks for the support, we love you too ;) That puts us past the 7000 and 8000 marks! Edit: due to criticism, I called SilkyBob out on his review, and the visitors are right. What an idiot, eh? Anyways, I'm also putting up an explanation of ratings to show that 9/10 is a good score.
Freewebs Home Page!

December 9, 2006
Well, we're happy to announce the opening of Silky's Sports, a new column dedicated to sports. It will be done completely by SilkyBob, and updated every Tuesday. Here's a preview to what it'll be like. Hope you like it!

December 7, 2006
Hello again, I'm just as surprised to be back here again so soon! We have 2 new Movie Reviews for me, and reviews for Gears of War and Madden NFL 07 from SilkyBob. Hope this keeps up!

December 6, 2006
We've archived November, although not much happened anyways. I did forget to mention that Zebrati made a new comic a day or two ago; since, after all, we all put in an equal share of work (does that make us Communist?!) He also reviewed Dead Rising and Resident Evil Outbreak: File # 2. In addition, I reviewed Call of Duty 3. Your friendly, next-door Communists will be coming up with some new material soon!

November 23, 2006
Happy Thanksgiving!

November 18, 2006
Well, we've updated and reset the "Best Gaming Platform" poll, for reasons that don't need to be explained. Start voting!

November 16, 2006
Wow, 6000 hits already!

November 11, 2006
Hello everyone! If you've never been to ULTIMATE REVIEWS before, then welcome! We're proud to announce that we've been placed on the Freewebs home page; check it out! All these new visitors have brought us way over the 5000 mark in less than a day! In celebration, Margrock has written three Movie Reviews, and I've written a new Movie Review as well...

November 5, 2006
Hello again! I'd like to give a big thank you to Shadow5361 for making us a great new banner; check it out on the Advertise for Us page. Also, I forgot to mention a Movie Review I wrote yesterday... check that out too! Finally, I've archived October, even though there wasn't much anyways.

October 31, 2006
Happy Halloween!

October 29, 2006
I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to Margrock. Also, I forgot to mention that I posted two Movie Reviews by Irish Monkey yesterday.

October 8, 2006
Happy Birthday Rellik7778! Site updates have been continuing, but very slowly, due to school and strange errors. Hang in there, it's almost done!

September 24, 2006
Wow, 4000 hits! It blasted right through the marker in 24 hours! Great!

September 21, 2006
The Guestbook stopped working for some reason... We'll get back to you on that....

September 19, 2006
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day (garrr?!)! Back to business (this is Tusserte again). Due to school, friends, and other things (yar, they be scurvy dogs), we have been a little slow on the updates. Just stick with us on this one, we'll get the new format done in no time.

September 14, 2006
Hey everyone, the monkey is speaking. Nothing visually has happened. I might write a review or two, but we are mostly working on site updates (as Tusserte has mentioned.) Expect big things, for big things are coming! At least to my knowledge. What do I know? I'm a monkey.

September 11, 2006
A day of sorrow. 9/11 will never be forgotten.

September 10, 2006
Yesterday, I began the task of updating reviews for Zebrati and Margrock. It was a big job, and I had to finish today. I dated all of them 9 Sep 2006, just to make them a little easier to find.

September 8, 2006
We're sorry to say that all the scroll bars have lost their color. This is part of a series of improvements that will be continuing to take place on the site, making us better and more professional. We'll keep you posted.

September 6, 2006
Yes, we know the Guestbook isn't working like it used to. We modified the code a little, and the entries don't show up! We can still read them, however; all is not lost. Be sure to keep leaving your mark (even if only we can see it)!

September 5, 2006
Well, SilkyBob and Irish Monkey are the last to return to school, so site updates will probably slow down to a normal pace again. Happy schooling! By the way, I added reviews for Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2. Check them out!

September 4, 2006
Happy Labor Day! Here's my review for Accepted, sorry it took so long. Site work is continuing; Rellik7778 has updated his reviews.

September 2, 2006
We have a new cool update; all the staff members have their own profiles! We have to sort out pics (some of us don't exactly want them up), so those little red 'x' boxes might show up for a while. To view these profiles, just go to any review and click on the name (you must have pop-ups enabled). Oh yeah, if you haven't figured it out for yourself, August has been archived.

August 29, 2006
Here's a cool new idea: a Universal Rating system. Using this, we can all give more accurate ratings. A guide will be coming up eventually on a Help page, but that'll be when the new format is finished. Just now, I have done my best changing my ratings to suit the new system, and SilkyBob and Irish Monkey have as well. To see the changes we've made, search the pages for the date (which we've updated) [29 Aug 2006].

August 28, 2006
As you may have guessed, site work is continuing slowly but surely. Here are reviews for Accepted and Weird Science, both by Irish Monkey.

August 25, 2006
Well, most of the earlier bugs have been sorted out. On a different note, here's are the new reviews: Kameo: Elements of Power (T) for Irish Monkey, 16 Blocks for me, and Grandma's Boy for me.

August 18, 2006
That's right! The new format for the Game Reviews is finished! There are still bugs to smooth out and extra information to fill in, but all the links and basics are currently functional! Check it out now! By the way, Killer7778 will be known as Rellik7778 from now on.

August 15, 2006
Here's four new Movie Reviews. I'm hoping to finish the new format by September, but things aren't looking so good.

August 14, 2006
Well, we're back, and ready to finish this job. I wrote a review yesterday, but forgot to mention it. It's true! Our Comics now have ratings! Be sure to check them out and give them your fair opinion! The rankings are shown on the individual comic pages. Here are two reviews as well.

July 28, 2006
Well, in the middle of a major site format update, the ULTIMATE REVIEWS crew is going on a two week vacation (perfect timing, eh?). Both have been planned for a long time, so I'm not sure which you should point your finger at for leaving a half-complete site. Hopefully you'll figure it out by the time we get back.

July 27, 2006
Bits and pieces of the new format are trickling their way into the site, as well as new reviews.

July 26, 2006
Here's a new Movie Review.

July 21, 2006
Today we have one new Movie Review; many more are on the way.

July 19, 2006
Here's a review from Irish Monkey and a review from me.

July 16, 2006
Today I have uploaded five new 88x31 banners to the site, they are available in the Advertise for Us page.

July 14, 2006
Well, there were many, many, many bugs in the new Comics page format, and I have just now worked them all out. So, naturally, the new Comics page is here! I am now going to focus most of my effort on the new format for the reviews. Believe me, it's going to be a huge project; don't expect any results besides a preview any time soon!

July 11, 2006
Sorry, we're really falling asleep at the wheel here at ULTIMATE REVIEWS. It's just that, well, it's summer! Anyways, here are two reviews from me. More are on the way. Also, I forgot to mention that we have a new comic by Zebrati. Once again, sorry about the delay, I promise there will be big changes in the future.

July 8, 2006
I finally got around to putting June in the Archives page, because SilkyBob is too lazy to do it himself.

July 7, 2006
Here's a new Movie Review. Hey, I just noticed we've reached 3000 hits! Cool!

July 4, 2006
Happy 4th of July!

June 29, 2006
Today we have four Game Reviews from Rellik7778 and a Movie Review from me.

June 28, 2006
Here's three reviews from Rellik7778; for one game and two movies. I wrote a Movie Review myself. Rellik7778 also updated an old Game Review.

I have just written another Movie Review.

June 24, 2006
First off, I went back to my old reviews, compared scores, and switched a few numbers around (if you want to see the changes, I updated the dates on the reviews). Also, there's a new review written by me. Finally, we now have Google Search for our site!

June 23, 2006
Here's three new Movie Reviews, thanks to me, and two Movie Reviews, thanks to Rellik7778.

June 18, 2006
Happy Father's Day! We're happy to announce that there are twelve new colorful banners on our Advertise For Us page! Feel free to take some, we'd appreciate the help!

June 16, 2006
I have just added two more reviews, bringing my Movie Review total to 100! Even so, I still owe some more, but major site format updates have been keeping me busy. I'll get back to you on that....

June 9, 2006
Here's a new Movie Review from me, sorry it took so long to post.

June 6, 2006
Not much happened today, we just wanted to put up a post considering it's 6/6/06. Thank you to the active users who help us constantly update our information; we updated another mistake today!

June 4, 2006
We have a new comic from Zebrati, seeing as it was my birthday yesterday.

June 1, 2006
Well, school's winding down, and site production will return....

May 28, 2006
We have been having some troubles with the site, but they should be sorted out.

May 26, 2006
Here are two reviews from me.

May 25, 2006
Yeah, we have a new Announcement Board on the Home page. For now it's considered temporary (until we can get our hands on some better technology/time to work on it), but time will tell.

May 24, 2006
We have a new review by Irish Monkey.

May 20, 2006
I wrote another review today.

May 19, 2006
Here's a new Movie Review, courtesy of me.

May 14, 2006
Happy Mother's Day!

May 13, 2006
Okay, I finished the review. The new format for the Comics is almost done.

May 12, 2006
So much for tomorrow. Anyways, I got sick a long time ago and was busy making up school work for the rest of the week. I know it's unlike me to not finish a review, but, well, sorry. I'll get on it tomorrow. For now, there's a new format for the Comics page; check it out!

May 5, 2006
Here's a new Movie Review (by me). More to come... tomorrow?

May 2, 2006
Sorry, I've been really busy, and I probably will be until summer. Here's two of my own Movie Reviews, and I still owe a few more.

May 1, 2006
Here's a review from Irish Monkey (sorry it took so long to post).

April 29, 2006
Welcome to ULTIMATE-REVIEWS.NET, the new ULTIMATE REVIEWS! I was very busy yesterday and didn't get a chance to say anything, but the new domain name is up and running! We had been planning this for a few months now, so there are a bunch of new banners, as well as an Advertise For Us page.

April 27, 2006
Today I wrote three reviews, putting us over the 300 review mark!

April 23, 2006
Hello again, this is Tusserte. Happy birthday to SilkyBob! Zebrati made you a new comic!

April 20, 2006
I'll be going on vacation for the next few days, starting tomorrow, so all updates will be up to SilkyBob. Also, I finally finished updating the Star Wars movies to have nice, long reviews instead of the original, barely multi-sentence ones, so you'll have something to read while I'm gone. See you Sunday!

April 19, 2006
Here are three more reviews by Irish Monkey.

April 18, 2006
Happy Birthday Zebrati!

April 16, 2006
Happy Easter!

April 15, 2006
Today I wrote one new review.

April 12, 2006
Once again, we have more updates on the site. They will be visible soon. Otherwise, there's one review for me.

April 10, 2006
Two new reviews for me.

April 8, 2006
Congratulations to Zebrati for creating his 50th comic!

April 7, 2006
Well, the site's been experiencing problems again. Expect them to be fixed by the end of Monday. Sorry.

April 5, 2006
Here's a new comic by Zebrati.

April 1, 2006
March just went out like a lamb, so Happy April Fool's Day!

March 30, 2006
SilkyBob added two new reviews.

March 28, 2006
Just a new comic by Zebrati.

March 26, 2006
One new review for me (Tusserte).

March 24, 2006
So, there's a new review by me.

March 19, 2006
One review by me.

March 17, 2006
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! There's a new comic by Zebrati today!

March 15, 2006
A new comic by Zebrati (been a while, hasn't it?)

March 14, 2006
Well, one review for me. Some of the bigger, more visible site updates have been postponed. Those particular updates will be done separately and added all at once. Expect them within a month (which was going to be too long to keep this site all dismantled, so we're working on that privately).

March 12, 2006
ULTIMATE REVIEWS is going under major construction throughout the entire site. It will be down/very confusing to navigate for a little while, so bear with us and visit us again tomorrow or in a few days. You'll be surprised by the difference!

March 10, 2006

SilkyBob just added a new review.

March 7, 2006
So, this is Tusserte again, back from my trip, and I'm surprised SilkyBob actually did something!

March 4, 2006
Hey, this is SilkyBob saying I didn't do anything major, just a few minor changes here and there. So take that, Tusserte; I did do something! I also added a game review.

March 1, 2006
Well, February, meet the Archives page. Anyways, I am going on vacation this weekend, so SilkyBob will be taking over for a while (wonder if he'll actually do anything...). Hey! 2000 hits! Thanks for supporting us!

February 25, 2006
SilkyBob just added a Movie Review and a new Game Review. I added a Movie Review of my own.

February 21, 2006
So, I forgot to mention it yesterday, but there was a new comic by Zebrati. There's another one today as well....

February 19, 2006
Okay, here's something to check out: a new Bios page for the comics (it has nothing to do with any of us in real life).

February 18, 2006
"Well, the staff here at Ultimate Reviews hopes that we can live up to your expectations (if you have any!). Have fun!"
This was posted by none other than me [Tusserte] exactly one year ago. Amazing how time flies, eh? Anyways, the staff at ULTIMATE REVIEWS thanks all of the people that made this site possible; we couldn't have done it without you. So, thanks so much for all your help, we've learned a lot and are willing to admit we have a long way to go! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving us a chance!
Today's news: one comic by Zebrati, one review by me, and a new featured article: One Year's Knowledge.

February 14, 2006
Happy Valentine's Day!

February 12, 2006
Another two reviews for me.

February 11, 2006
One more review for me and one for Margrock.

February 10, 2006
Well, I added another movie review, and SilkyBob added two of his own as well.

February 6, 2006
One comic by Zebrati. Sorry it took so long to post anything; it's just that...well, we didn't do anything....

February 1, 2006
Another month, another Archive page block. Nothing else....

January 30, 2006
Okay, this is Tusserte again, sorry I took a little break there. Bad Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (I know, right?). Now, to address the matter of Site Reviews. The reason why we haven't (and probably never will) review websites is the fact that the internet offers such a wide variety of topics that there really is no way to give a website just one little rating (e.g. #/10). Also, we do not believe in hurting people's feelings, which may happen if we were to give a website a review they didn't particularly like. Because of these reasons (and the fact that we simply do not have enough time to do it), we regret to say that for now, Site Reviews are not a possibility.

January 29, 2006
SilkyBob just added a couple of new reviews.

January 28, 2006
Great news folks. This is SilkyBob saying that today we have two new reviews from Tusserte and another comic from Zebrati.

January 26, 2006
One comic by Zebrati.

January 24, 2006
I wrote one new review....

January 23, 2006
SilkyBob just added one new review and edited some of the dates on the site.

January 19, 2006
Another comic by Zebrati....

January 17, 2006
We have one new review by Rellik7778, and another slow period for the site.

January 14, 2006
Congratulations to "Abrown Splatter" for becoming our first member! As a member, he will only be able to write reviews; but more features will soon become available! There is also a new comic by Zebrati.

January 11, 2006
Two new reviews by SilkyBob.

January 9, 2006
The Cool Links page has been deleted today, to make room for the new Friends page.

January 5, 2006
Today I wrote my 100th review (as well as number 101)!

January 4, 2006
One new review today. How boring.

January 3, 2006
Three more reviews by me.

January 2, 2006
Happy New Year! Merry Christmas! Sorry I've been sick so long! The site is officially active again, and get ready for a ton of new stuff! SilkyBob has also updated the Archives page and written a new review. I wrote a new review and posted a comic by Zebrati.

December 26, 2005
Sorry nothing has been done around here for awhile. Tusserte has been sick, so I (SilkyBob) have taken over running the site. I have done some new reviews, but the staff is going on vacation for the next week as well.

December 15, 2005
Another comic by Zebrati.

December 14, 2005
Just one new comic by Zebrati and one review by me.

December 13, 2005
Today there is one new review by me.

December 12, 2005
Today there are two new reviews by me and one new comic by Zebrati. By the way, there was an error with the Most Recent Comic; to see what "Margrock's Mind" actually looked like, see the Comics page.

December 11, 2005
There is one new comic by Zebrati and two reviews by me.

December 4, 2005
There is only one new review by me today.

December 3, 2005
Today there is one new review by SilkyBob, one by Rellik7778, and one by me, as well as a bunch of new banners that can be found on the Activities page. Finally, SilkyBob finished updating the dates on all of the reviews.

December 2, 2005
Today I wrote a new review. The staff is also taking on a new challenge: we're trying to remember the dates that we wrote all of the reviews we have written. This is because we are now dating our reviews! If we don't remember when we wrote them, we are updating them and setting the date to the day we updated them. This may take a while, so bear with us....

December 1, 2005
Well, it's a new month, and almost a new year. Just so you know, all of last month's posts have been moved to the Archives page (this is a fairly new change, so this is just a reminder). We're also trying to remember which reviews we wrote so that we can date them all.

November 27, 2005
Check out our second banner, our 88X31 pixel one is finally here! It's not very creative, I know, but it's good to have.

November 26, 2005
Today I wrote two Movie Reviews and SilkyBob wrote four.

November 25, 2005
Today I wrote two reviews and SilkyBob wrote one.

November 24, 2005
Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2005
Today I wrote a new review. Well, that's about it...

November 22, 2005
Today, Irish Monkey beefed up a Game Review and wrote another one. I wrote a Movie Review of my own.

November 21, 2005
Alright, so, yesterday there was a server crash, so I wasn't able to say that I have added a new feature to the Home page, a panel showing newest comic! Today, I wrote a new review.

November 19, 2005
The first of a selection of banners has been created and posted on our site. I will make more as time goes on and when I get better at drawing, I will begin making moving banners. Otherwise, there is a new comic by Zebrati, a new review by Margrock, and a new review by me.

November 16, 2005
Today I posted 3 reviews by Rellik7778 and edited some of my own reviews.

November 13, 2005
One new review; by me, of course.

November 11, 2005
We've got a new comic by Zebrati and a new review by me!

November 6, 2005
Today SilkyBob and I did another site update, so that all movies and games have a list at the bottom of the review stating all of the sequels that we know about. Also, all of the lists that already existed have been updated to include the ESRB ratings for the games and MPAA ratings and production years for movies. Also, we each wrote one new review.

November 5, 2005
Today, I wrote a new review, posted a new comic by Zebrati, and updated the Games page. The games now have their own ratings (if you open their windows). SilkyBob also updated the Archives page to include all of the old entries.

November 2, 2005
Today I fixed the glitches on the Downloads page and rewrote some of my Game Reviews. SilkyBob has also decided to rewrite some Game Reviews too!

November 1, 2005
The new site format is finally finished! There are now more pages and features, including an Archives page. Also, I fixed the Games page because it wasn't working (as usual). Just to tell you, I am going to be upgrading all of my Game Reviews to include more about the plots (don't expect anything from the others!)

October 31, 2005
Happy Halloween! What a productive day! We get candy, a new comic by Zebrati, and more pages for the site! There is now an actual Games page, filled with games that aren't downloads.

October 29, 2005
SilkyBob and I teamed up over the last week and did some research for a site update. It took a long time to post the update because I had a lot of homework. The update involves the ESRB ratings for all of the video game reviews and PC games now have a list at the bottom of the review that includes the names of all the expansion packs. Happy birthday Margrock!

October 22, 2005
Today, Zebrati edited two comics and made a new one to begin the second story.

October 21, 2005
One new review by me (Tusserte).

October 15, 2005
One new comic by Zebrati; the finale of the first series.

October 14, 2005
I wrote two new reviews and posted a new feature, downloadable screensavers! These are available with the return of the Downloads page (formerly called the Games page before it was removed).

October 13, 2005
Things are going pretty slowly right now, but there are two new reviews by SilkyBob, and Irish Monkey should post one soon (I hope).

October 8, 2005
One new comic by Zebrati.

October 6, 2005
Yeah! 1,000 hits! Thanks for believing in us! One new review by me. That is all.

October 2, 2005
And another new comic by Zebrati. The fun never ends. Also, I added some more sites to our Cool Links page and updated the format of the Your Feedback page.

October 1, 2005
A new month, a new comic by Zebrati. Have fun!

September 26, 2005
One more comic by Zebrati, number 20!

September 25, 2005
Another new comic by Zebrati, and I wrote the review that I promised.

September 24, 2005
Today, I posted one new comic by Zebrati. Expect a new review by me tomorrow.

September 22, 2005
Nothing special; SilkyBob wrote one new review and Zebrati made one new comic.

September 19, 2005
It's getting so boring around here. There's only one new comic by Zebrati.

September 12, 2005
Well, we only have two new comics by Zebrati. Nothing new otherwise.

September 11, 2005
Today will be spent remembering 9/11.

September 9, 2005
Well, I found all these cool little moving images that I can use in the site, so, therefore, there has been a new site format update. Otherwise, there are two new comics by Zebrati.

September 3, 2005
Ok, I saw The Transporter 2, which was pretty good, but I was a little disappointed (see the review in the Movie Reviews section). Also, I posted one more comic by Zebrati.

September 2, 2005
YES! IT'S FINALLY HERE! THE TRANSPORTER 2! Aww, I can't see it yet. What's with that. Expect a review within the next 2 days. Speaking of new reviews, there are some new ones by SilkyBob and me.

September 1, 2005
I'm really excited right now, considering the fact that The Transporter 2 comes out tomorrow! Also, there are many new reviews by Irish Monkey and a new comic by Zebrati.

August 28, 2005
Well, good news; Zebrati's comic-maker thingy is working again, so there are two new comics (but one is currently experiencing technical difficulties and can't be posted). Also, good luck to all the people trying to get away from Hurricane Katrina, including the reviewers' cousins. It's going to get rough out there....

August 27, 2005
Today I added a few new reviews and changed the Your Feedback section so that it lets users know that WE DO NOT RESPOND TO COMMENTS. Thanks for helping us remember.

August 26, 2005
Today I added a few new reviews. There is also some disappointing news. Zebrati's tools to make his comic have disappeared and will take a while to get back. To see his exact words, visit the Forum.

August 21, 2005
Ok, The staff here at Ultimate Reviews has come back from a long vacation. Today I posted a new comic by Zebrati.

August 9, 2005
Today I only posted a few reviews by Zebrati, as well as a new comic. Also, a few changes were made by Zebrati to the Activities page. The credits are now stated the way he wants them to be.

August 3, 2005
Today there are many new reviews by Margrock, as well as new reviews by Zebrati and me (Tusserte).

August 2, 2005
Today SilkyBob and I (Tusserte) submitted our site to about 100 different search engines. Otherwise, there are some new reviews by Zebrati, SilkyBob, Margrock, and me and a new feature: averages!

June 30, 2005
SilkyBob just did some editing on the website, but new game reviews are coming soon.

July 31, 2005
Today I posted two new reviews by Zebrati. Also, check out what's new on the Activities page. You'll be in for a surprise!

July 26, 2005
Today I (Tusserte) wrote some new reviews and edited some old ones to fit the new format. Speaking of reviews, Margrock wrote some of her own....

July 18, 2005
Today we finished upgrading the format of the site. Now there is no longer a Game Reviews Part 1 page or a Game Reviews Part 2 page. There is now a compacted Game Reviews page.

July 17, 2005
Tons of new reviews as well as an upgrade in the site format (there are now lines between reviews by different people instead of spaces).

July 16, 2005
New reviews by SilkyBob, Margrock, and me (Tusserte). By the way, I hope everyone gets the new Harry Potter book!

July 15, 2005
Today the staff at Ultimate Reviews has worked together to delete the Game Reviews Part 3 page to create the Movie Reviews page. The WARIO WARE, INC. review can now be found at the bottom of the Game Reviews Part 2 page.

July 4, 2005
Happy Fourth of July! It's great to be American. I fixed typos in some of the new reviews by SilkyBob and Irish Monkey.

June 28, 2005
Today I moved the Forum to a different place on the NavBar (there's nothing else to do!).

June 24, 2005
Tons of new reviews by Margrock and Rellik7778, plus SilkyBob and Irish Monkey added some later. Rellik7778's older brother, Zebrati, has joined the staff and has added many reviews. Finally, there are two new polls (I feel very competetive right now).

June 23, 2005
Finally! More reviews by Margrock! I wonder what took her so long ... Anyways, sorry about the delay in progress on this site. Some people decided to mess around with the forum and it took forever to delete all of it.

June 21, 2005
I decided to create a Forum (guestbook) for people who don't have Java for the chatroom. Otherwise, I found out that SilkyBob and Irish Monkey wrote a ton of reviews last night and earlier today, so I edited them and posted them in final draft form.

June 20, 2005
Game Reviews Part 3 is finally here! Also, I finally fixed the Your Feedback page, so the forms should actually work now. There are also some new reviews and corrections in old ones.

June 19, 2005
Happy Father's Day! Some corrections and updated reviews by SilkyBob and Irish Monkey.

June 17, 2005
Today I added new reviews and a chatroom for the Activities page. Have fun!

June 16, 2005
Okay, today I have added the Activities page and upgraded the Your Feedback page's questions (they weren't very good before). You may have noticed that the comments you make in the Feedback section aren't sent for some reason. Sorry, I'm working on that.

June 15, 2005
Today I have updated the format of the site and edited typos. Mistress Mo has changed her name to Margrock. Sorry it's taken so long for me (Tusserte) to do anything around here.

June 9, 2005
Summer is here!!! New reviews by Irish Monkey and SilkyBob are here too!

February 18, 2005
Well, the staff here at Ultimate Reviews hopes that we can live up to your expectations (if you have any!). Have fun!
