Daybreakers - Vampire Noir Almost Worth Recommending
Brutal Legend [PS3] - It Kinda Rocked And Kinda Didn't
Decapitatiooooooooooon! Sorry, I just had to say that. For the past year and a half, Tim Shafer appeared to be promoted from game enthusiast's favorite idol to publicly awkward gaming icon. We want to root for people like Shafer and the creative minds at Double-Fine Studios. Brutal Legend was Shafer's baby -- and it shows. His game had the makings of a dark horse hit. On the surface, this was a game that is rife with witty one-liners from Jack Black and friends, metal infused and inspired ... everything, but with an unexpected real-time strategy underbelly. On the PS3, Brutal Legend has issues graphically, the online-multiplayer is -- at times -- has more than what the mode is worth. Unfortunately, there are a couple of key ingredients that keep Brutal Legend from being a full-fledged enjoyable experience.
Destined For Fail - Tekken: The Movie
Are words really necessary? You know its going to be terrible, right? I mean there is no way that, oh god he put on the Iron Fists. This movie based off of a game based off of several people from some of which were in movies is destined to win. Although it is odd to see Raven played by someone other than Wesley Snipes. Now we have reached a new level of meta. We have a movie based off of a game with characters based off of people in different movies and history, Where do I sign up?
Beyond Good & Evil 2: I Just Want To Believe
Old news, I'm a BG&E fan. If you haven't read my review [which points out the good and the flaws] please feel free to here. Furthermore, if you haven't played Beyond Good & Evil, what the 'effing' 'H' are you waiting for? It really is a great experience and one of the main reasons why I got 'back into' gaming. However, I have been seeing the trailer above for quite some time now and I have to say ... I'm a little bit peeved. Last year I wrote that the sequel was being put on hold for reasons not revealed to the public; or me for that matter. I've emailed and sent 8 x 10's of my portrait to Ubisoft and nothing! Then I realized, this is something I actually want...

Shameless Pimpery: Gamepro & Bitmob Team Up For You!
1UP alumni lives on in many ways this new year. Ex-editor-in-chief, John Davison, wields executive status over at the newly rebooted Gamepro and has reached out to a site that I spam with all the articles originating from the lovely Brog. Bitmob is a gaming community site dedicated to exonerating quality writing and illuminating the many faces of the gaming world. It seems like a match made in game writing heaven that both entities are offering fellow writers out there a chance to be in print.
Deets after the jump...
Jurassic Park: Trespasser WOAT Nominee
First off, I want to thank Dustin Gunn for playing through what looks to be one of the worse games created by humans and some robots. In the coming months I will posting youtube video that I can find of what I believe to be some of the worst video games ever created. Feel free to make suggestions, but I have not problem doing this on my own. I mean...just look at how much fun Jurassic Park: Trespasser appears to be. Is that a tattoo on that floating chest? I think so. Now if we could only hold the gun straight...
FYI: WOAT = Worst Of All Time
This Week In 'Cage Watch': We've Been Duped!
Look at that not-at-all suspicious mustache. I knew something had to be off with the cosmos when I posted up the many troubling findings of Mr. Nicolas Cage's estate. Turns out People magazine was wrong. Who knew such a prestigious publication could be slightly off as to the 36.7 million dollar lawsuit against Cage. [Turns out it was only $3 million] Oh yeah, when People reported that Cage was also being accused of fraud, that again was an 'untruthitude'.
In summation, Nicolas Cage is a-okay. Aside from that whole $3 million dollar lawsuit, which I'm sure a questionable remake called Bad Lieutenant will take care of.
After the jump, a trailer that practically gives away the entire movie.
Booty Pop Commercial
You know, on one hand, I am kinda happy that having a 'poppible' booty is in style. On the other I'm thinking, doesn't this count as false advertising? I could only imagine what the male equivalent would be. Oh wait...their called Porsche's.
