Minerva's Den is the first story based campaign DLC for BioShock 2 and takes place within the events of BioShock 2 its costs 800 Microsoft Points on the Xbox and $9.99 on the PS3.  Minerva's Den is a self-contained narrative experience that puts players in the role of another Alpha Series Big Daddy called Subject Sigma revived by Charles Milton Porter. He has teamed up with Brigid Tenenbaum to unravel Reed Wahl's stranglehold in Rapture Central Computing. Rapture Central Computing houses The Thinker, a gigantic super computer created by Porter and controlling the district. This at heart gives a little background to what happened to Brigid Tenenbaum after she leaves Subject Delta with Augustus Sinclair, and why it was...

Halo Reach: Deliver Hope (The Live Action Trailer That We All Wanted)

Reach is only around the corner and people are already picking the friends they want to play with, but with these live action trailers the hype just keeps getting bigger. P.S Did anyone think this was a Pip Boy 3000 when they first saw the still image?&nbs...

Antichrist is a work of both art and obscene film making

Antichrist is drama/horror directed/written by Lars Von Trier starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. A couple lose their young son when he falls out the window while they have sex in the other room. The mother's grief consigns her to hospital, but her therapist husband brings her home intent on treating her depression himself. To confront her fears they go to stay at their remote cabin in the woods, "Eden", where something untold happened the previous summer. Told in four chapters with a prologue and epilogue, the film details acts of lustful cruelty as the man and woman unfold the darker side of nature outside and within.  First off this film does not lay back on its sexual content, first scene is Willem Dafoe's erect...

"Look Daddy Its You....."

Just recently picked up one of the line of dolls Neca are doing for BioShock 2, but im not big on there action figure series but I adore the two Delta & Bouncer replica plush dolls. The price is somewhat fair of $20 for a nice detailed and iconic plush doll .This is a pretty cute doll exactly the one Eleanor is holding in the introduction cut scene , its not as polished as it looks the soft parts are really filthy including the baseball with smudges of dirt all around it, its pretty cool but dont put it in the wash, what I really like is the small little bit of seaweed on the watches screen its a nice touch as if it just came out of the ocean.  I really love this beauty, its right on my shelf beside my Sounds From...

Blast From The Past: the Amazing Spider-man #33 and Detective Comics #313

Just recently I picked up Detective Comics issue 313 at the local comic book store for 20 euro, not bad for quite an old issue but I couldn't refuse, the very series that started Batman and Robin from 1963? Sure as hell gonna pick that up. What also came to me today was #33 of the Amazing Spider-man volume 1 of course from 1965 a historic and iconic issue of Spider-man and one of Steve Ditko's very best work. This video talk about Ditkos art in this comic and one of my favourite novelist Neil Gaiman, being a fan also, talks about how the art is the finest in the industry. I really enjoyed this comic its opening is amazing and the moral values it teaches in this comic is really great, its quite nice...

Sunday Night After Effects Test

So I made this little introduction recently on Adobe After Effects just as a little mess around, cant say im going to use this for future video but hey what the hell you never know, Alex Brand actually might make an appearance in Gears Of War 3.  So most the effects in this video is pretty much the basic filling in colours and masking on Alex's part, I feathered the edges and added the glow effect to make her stand out a little. The rain was nicely used and smoke in the background had a nice contribution to this video. Im probably going to make a much more permanent and fuller video introduction eventually also making some cool stuff for my friend also so stay tun...

Gears Of War #13 Farewell Liam Sharp

Gears Of War #13 is not only the last episode of Barren its also the last time Liam Sharp does the art for the comics. This is some of his finest work on this comic, it really feels like a crazy sci fi action movie. The silhouettes and shading is incredibly impressive something you would expect out of Liams great work but the background detail is just something, its a great conclusion it was pretty intense for a comic and the character departure's where one I didnt expect. Liam Sharp art style was perfect for the Gears Of War series and none could say otherwise, he contributed so much and he will be missed. Another who will be departing will be Joshua Ortega the comic series writer his final issue will will be #14 and will...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is looking lik the shit! This trailer should pull alot of people and it looks so cool, im really looking forward to see how this game pulls itself out from the bunch of games hitting next year. Looks pretty cool just hope it doesn't go over the top sci fi adventure, I hate those.&nb...

BioShock Infinite Will Put The Series Straight.

Have you heard?? Oh I assumed everyone heard that BioShock Infinite is going to blow your mind away!! Its true when Cliff Blezinski says that Ken Levine is the man because he somewhat is just check this sexy ass trailer. Its pretty crazy right? Like why in gods name would they even call it BioShock? Well its because Take Two Interactive want to make BioShock a franchise kinda like Star Wars. So people where Shocked (see what I did there?) at the announcement since we kinda expected that Ken Levine was finished with BioShock, but he is and he isint at the same time, he say's that this IS NOT a prequel and brushes off question's relevant to BioShock, saying that it isint necessary at this point of its press release. So that question still stand, is...

Metro 2033 DLC Achievements Are Dead! KHAN!!!

I was quite happy Metro 2033 finally brought some DLC on the horrizon so it could give me an excuse to play the damn thing on Ranger Hardcore and get me some delicious achievables but unfortunatly Microsoft has once again deprived me of those achievables and may God damn them! The 4A guys call it an anomaly and says its Microsoft fault, but heres me sitting here with no achiveable! So what do we do in the meantime? Blame Khan is what im doing!  ...

Mafia 2 Demo Impressions

Mafia 2 hit Xbox Live on the 10th of August in which I have been anticipating highly since I have heard word about it. So since I finally got a stab at it, what do I think? Two words, Freakin Awesome. Now im huge on gangster movies I just love them and in a sense Mafia style movies dominate the movie industry critically and box office wise. So will that experience ever come to the gaming industry?If you have been following the developers commentary its pretty evident that they take alot of influence from alot of mob movies and taking the traditional route with the game with voice actors and obviously setting. Now the 2k Czech haven't done anything revolutionary with this game, its the typical sandbox game similar to Red Dead Redemption and...

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer Teaser

So looking forward to Black Ops? Well im not really there yet but im 68% positive if im going to buy this game or not its either this or Medal Of Honor but MoH multiplayer sucks. Im a fan of the knife flingy thing looks funny, so this multiplayer looks like Call Of Duty 2.5 an improvement of what we got in last september just fixes and balances all the things we didint like about Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, so it sound cool right? *shrugs* looks cool to ...

Halo Reach Vs Black Ops Vs Medal Of Honor

The first half of the year is cramped with blockbuster games but the big names is the big three Halo, Call Of Duty and Medal Of Honor. Its obvious which one is gonna sell more either Call Of Duty or Medal Of Honor since there going to be multi platform but which one is going to be the biggest? Are much loved Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says Black Ops will sell more than Modern Warfare 2 (he must be smoking some bad weed) but will it really? And will Medal Of Honor get the critical success of Modern Warfare 2? These question will all be answered this year my speculation is that Black Ops will top both of them but wont get anywhere near Modern Warfare 2, Medal Of Honor will not get the critical success that it is hoping for and...

Im Interested In To Comics!

You know people ask me why im interested into comic's and why im even bother to buy them, well I guess its an thing I have enjoyed since I was 10/12 where I collected The Amazing Spider-Man but since it became too difficult to buy them, and always seem to buy them too late, ive kinda just got too annoyed when I missed an issue and didnt arse myself to travel so far to get them. So I traded with a few friends got The Avengers and the Justice League vs Avengers and a few Batman comics you know the classic characters but eventually became to dry and stopped but of course I was young and went onto different interests but alas I couldn't refuse when I bared my eyes on a front cover of Spider-Man in the middle of a fight between...

Limbo Review!

Its really rare when you come by a game as innovated as Limbo especially when its only $15, now when I say innovated I only talk about the atmosphere and the art design of Limbo. This game is simplicity at its finest there are only two controls which is basic move and jump, the level design and how to proceed onwards into the depths of Limbo is comprised of a set of unique puzzles the map allows you to interact with, these can consist of a lever to activate zero gravity or the basic pushing boxes mechanisms. Limbo is a strange game for its kind, it relies on its setting, art style and illuminating environment to dazzle you through the entire game while you solve the odd puzzle here and there, the silhouette designs...

Kane and Lynch #1 Isint So Bad!

The Kane and Lynch comic just came out a few days ago so since im kinda a fan of the duo I was kinda looking forward to this, these guys are no different in the comics then they are in the game which means there fucking relentless. These guys just dont give two fucks about anything and never consider anything other than loading there shotgun and pulling the trigger while the barrel is next to there victims heads, the comics pick up directly after the first game where Kane has saved his daughter Jenny in which they realise that the 7 still have a price on their heads. This comic is non-stop action the psychopath Lynch is crazier then ever and Kane is as pissed off as ever still killing shit loads of people for his wife's death....

BioShock 2 Gets An All NEW Exspansion!

Finally the story of BioShock 2 continuous with Minerva's Den where players take hold of an all new character to assist Brigid Tenebaum to fight a dictator on an all new location in the city of Rapture. "Minerva's Den is a substantial addition that will give players more of what they're looking for: more story, more narrative, more gameplay and more of Rapture," says Christoph Hartman president of 2k Games."The core team has created an exciting product that further enhances the mystery and allure of the world of Rapture. Minerva's Den will be a fitting conclusion to the BioShock 2 saga." This pack will have new weapons, new Splicers, Plasmids, security bots and a new type of Big Daddy. This is the dlc I was looking forward too I cant...

Blast From The Past:The Fantastic Four #50 Review!

One comic I just recently got was The Fantastic Four #50 the last issue of the Galactus trilogy and will make a nice addition into my Silver Surfer pile, now mind you im a massive fan of the Silver Surfer so I had to check out the issue where the Silver Surfer departs from Galactus and gets disbanded on earth. The issue continues from #49 where the Silver Surfer has been convinced that Galactus feast on Earth is evil and wrong in which he confronts him. The Surfer pleads Galactus to leave earth and feed on another planet, however since he does not see the necessity of the human race and he is above good and evil he sees no remorse for his actions, meanwhile the Watcher has sent Johnny throughout the galaxy on a quest to find The Ultimate Nullifyer...

Also looking forward to L.A Noire but Mafia 2 is good for the time being ;) Watch some great gangster movies before you pick up this game, start with the Godfather, Once upon a time in America, Goodfellas and The Untouchabl...

Gears Of War Movie Status In Limbo

Currently the Gears Of War movie is being re-written and brought back to the drawing board says Executive Producer of the Gears of War movie Cliff Bleszinski. After Len Wiseman left the project (thank Jesus!) the film has stayed silent ever since and remains for any Directors grasp, but when the film was slashed of its 100 million budget they realized that it was time for a little less chainsawing scenes in the script. Cliff says that the script is rewritten because Len Wiseman script was somewhat equivalent to the movie 2012 his script says its gonna be more like District 9. Interesting. I wonder if the Old Spice guy will start saying he watches Cliff's movies with his shirt off. ...

NEW R.E.D Trailer (Really looking forward to this)

Retired Extremely Dangerous is defiantly on my "must see" list, its based on the graphic novel published by Wildstorm comics. I think this might be a good film Bruce Willis has done in a long time, and after looking at the list of films hes up to I have to say im not stoked, heres me really excited.  John Malkovich looks hilarious in this.&nb...

Medal Of Honor Short Film Released By Linkin Park

As promised by EA the short film is finally here directed by Linkin Parks own Joe Hahn featuring, surprise, there own song "The Catalyst" and by the way the live action bearded guy (Rabbit) is the Producer behind Medal Of Honor Greg Goodrich whos been growing that beard since E3. Check it. Its true that it only gets good at 2:25 where all the epicness start to show, in a good way of course. Its a pretty cool trailer im looking forward to the campaign of this game, not too big on the multiplay...
