  • Six Flags: Skyrim Adventure

    How Long Is The Wait For The Dark Brotherhood Ride?

    After 100+ hours in [amazon_link id=”B004HYK956″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Skyrim[/amazon_link] I pretty much thought I had seen everything. Every bleeped out fake curse word video, every arrow to the knee meme. But this blew me away.

    Misty Manley over on FakeAnything.com has crafted a more colorful, Sesame Street friendly version of the massive open world map. I would think that using this map may be the perfect mixture of M-rated content in the game and a slightly more Mario feel.

    “I remember where I dismembered that pack of vampires, it was just past that cute Christmas tree near Falkreath.”

  • Greatest Thing Ever- 10/4/12

    Power Rangers And Dubstep. Wait…..What?

    Yeah so there’s this.

    This year is the [amazon_link id=”B008XRE81E” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Mighty Morphin Power Rangers[/amazon_link] 20th anniversary and it appears to be going strong with Power Rangers Super Samurai which is one of Nickelodeon’s highest rated shows so how do you keep the show hip and new for the kiddos?

    By adding dubstep of course.

    Please I implore you to watch this video of the Rangers giving their best moves to a dubstep remix of the classic Power Rangers theme. Please keep your laughing and snarky remarks inside the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop. Thank you.

  • Assassin’s Creed 3 Announces Season-Pass DLC And An Evil George Washington?

    DLC Pack Will Have George Telling Plenty Of Lies.

     

    Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed 3 will be selling a Season-Pass for it’s DLC that will save buyers a total of 25% and a week early release on the first downloadable pack. But the biggest news seems to be that three of those packs will be a big single player add-on story entitled “The Tyranny of King Washington” which sees America’s beloved first president become mad with power and places himself on the throne as America’s king.

    “As the revolution comes to a close, a new and most unexpected enemy emerges. Driven by the desire to secure the fate of the colonies, the greatest hero of the revolution, George Washington, succumbs to the temptation of infinite power. The new King is born and his reign leaves no one untouched. To return freedom to the land our new hero must dethrone a tyrant he once called friend.”

    The Season Pass will include 5 DLC packs in all and cost $30 or 2400 MS Points.

    [amazon_link id=”B0050SYLRK” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Assassin’s Creed 3[/amazon_link] releases on October 30th for 360, PS3 and PC with the Wii U version being available on launch day, November 18th.

  • Take It Home Tuesday- 10/2/2012

    The Princess Bride Turns 25 And Johnny Depp In A Tim Burton Movie? Who Could Have Guessed?!

    Dark Shadows

    This movie didn’t exactly light the box office on fire and critics were less than kind but this movie wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be. Nothing like the old soap opera but still a bit memorable. On the low end of the Burton/Depp list but it has it’s moments.

    Universal’s Classic Monsters Collection

    For the first time on Blu-Ray in one complete set. Including the classics Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

    Cinderella

    Disney releases another one of their classics on Blu-Ray. Hurry before it disappears into Disney’s imaginary “vault” only to come back later to sell again.

    Pet Sematary

    As dopey as some parts of this movie seems I still can’t help but want to watch it every year around Halloween. How many time can you watch a dead child slit Herman Munster’s tendons? Apparently a lot for me.

  • New Game Releases. Week Of September 30, 2012.

    Skeleton Bunnies, Zombies and LeBron. Oh My.

    Resident Evil 6 (360, PS3) $59.99

    Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time then Resident Evil 5 came along and completely turned me off of the series. Now the sixth installment is here and I can tell you from playing the demo that a lot of things have been fixed. Three separating storylines taking place across the globe is quite ambitious for the franchise but it just may pay off.

    NBA 2K13 (360, PS3, PC, Wii, PSP) $29.99-59.99

    It has been a long wait for a basketball game for this fan. The 2K series has never been my cup of beer even with glittering reviews every year. Now EA has cancelled NBA Live…..again and I may be left without a b-ball game again this year. But this year’s 2K has changed the control scheme to give a more arcade feel with the use of the right dribble stick so here’s hoping I will finally get to play this year.

    Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit (PC, PSN, XBLA) $14.99

    Reviews for this game have been all over the place from ” a wonderful side-scroller” to “stay the hell away”. Both sides seem to agree that is has a great look and art style so it is really a toss up if you want to give this game about a skeletal bunny’s revenge a try.

     

    Next week is a big one with the releases of Dishonored, the return of XCOM and the Kinect only Fable: The Journey.

  • Remember Me’s Combo System Is Either Wonderfully Complex Or Insanely Obtrusive.

    How In Depth Do You Like Your Fighting Skills?

    Remember Me is one of the most unique looking games to come along in some time. It has the look of a futuristic Uncharted with a fighting style that looks to replicate the Rocksteady Batman titles.

    Previous footage has shown off the games unusual game mechanic of invading people’s thoughts and change the way they remember certain events to achieve objectives. Now the developers are showing off the combo system and I honestly have no idea what to think of it yet. While playing you will enter what is called the Combo Lab where you can pre-set combos using four different trees of attacks known as pressens which open up your character to have almost 50,000 combo possibilities.

    The game in motion still looks wonderful and the combat is very Arkham-esque but I am still undecided on pausing the game whenever I want to create a new combo. While I do see the possibilities of basically having an RPG inside of your fighting system and how deep this makes the game we will just have to wait and see if it all comes together.

    Remember Me releases in May 2013.

  • The Dark Knight Rises Trilogy Collections Revealed

    The Dark Knight Rises Collector’s Edition Also Announced.

    Warner Bros. has already announced that the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy would be coming home on December 3rd and they have just revealed the packaging for the movie as well as unveiling the collector’s edition of The Dark Knight Rises and that they will be releasing all three Bat films in a trilogy box set.

    No price or list of special features has been announced yet. Both trilogy collections are shown with The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy book. It has not been announced if the book will be coming with the box set but I can say from owning it that it is a large high quality book that chronicles all of the three movies very well and is worth a buy.

  • Mass Effect Trilogy To Touch Down In November

    Rejoice Playstation Owners!!

    Well if you own a Playstation and haven’t had an opportunity to play the first Mass Effect game you should rejoice in moderation.

    Bioware announced today that all three of their award winning Mass Effect games will be released in one set on November 6th for Xbox 360 and PC and retail for just $59.99. The Playstation version will be released at a later date that has not been announced yet so if all you know of the first game is the motion comic that greeted you before your playthrough of Mass Effect 2 you will finally get a chance to complete the most RPG-feeling of the trilogy. The first Mass Effect will be available for download on the Playstation Network at a later date also.

    All three should come packed with all the downloadable content that were attached to the games.

    If you have not played through any of these games then this is the perfect opportunity to get on board and experience one of the best stories ever told in gaming. You really are in for a great time. $60 bucks for almost eighty hours of historic gaming? Sounds like a great deal to me.
