OK, this looks real ill…any game where you can base jump off a sky scraper, grapple onto a helicopter in mid air, toss the pilot out, then engage in a dog fight with another helicopter gets all thumbs up from me!

Anthony Hopkins has been cast as The Norse god Odin in Marvel Studios “Thor”, to be directed by Kenneth Branagh starting January. Odin is the father of Thor and Loki (to be played by Chris Hemsworth) and Tom Hiddleston, respectively. Natalie Portman is playing Thor’s love interest, Jane Foster.

Ahhh, The Ultimate Fighter “reality” show…really? These are your “Ultimate Fighters” to be? Please, go back to the drawing board, never hire the staff of decision makers for this season again. I’m through, no more for me thank you.

Nintendo co. Ltd. reported a 52% slide in quarterly profit today(10/29/09), hurt by slow demand for the Wii system in Asia. In September Sony’s Playstation 3 usurped Nintendo’s wii to become the top selling U.S. video game console for the first time since its release according to research grp.

A cable station dedicated entirely to video gamers…Sounds good on paper but when made a reality, is a complete f**k up. G4 is the culprit, the dorky out of touch programmers that executed this disaster need a fresh turd filled swirly every day for at least a year.

Let me start this off by saying that this game showcases the exact reason why me and my people wanted to start a web site for game and movie reviews. It’s pretty clear that there are plenty of people dogging this game, I don’t get it…of course everyone has their own opinion but damn, just because I’m not into rock so much doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy Guitar Hero (I love Guitar Hero & Rock Band). I’ve heard people say it isn’t accessible, it’s too hard, the turntable is too foreign. F@ck that! I remember the first time people played Guitar Hero…nobody was good at it, there WAS a learning curve there as well.
