We have all types of Blockbuster movies. Films that cost so much money. And sometimes leaves you just plain empty. Iron Man 2. Prince of Persia The Sands Of Time. The Last Airbender. Clash Of The Titans. All a guaranteed smash hit. But some of us need a more earthy. Solid story. Of tales of the heroes we learned about in school. These types of heroes were the true archetypes that the new heroes were forged from. Well this Summer Ridley Scott gives us more of that old school action epic that Hollywood needs so badly. I give give you Robin Hood. Opens May 14th.

What more news about the Move. Yes and why not. the announcement is barely a day old. You’re going to hate me in June. Or maybe you’ll love me. Anyway this video is just an intro on what the Move can do. People swinging the controls around, looking like a black WiiMote. But trust and believe it is not. Imagine playing the Force Unleashed 2 with this. And having the same precision as the dual shock 3 controller. All with high def graphics. And your just touching the tip of the ice berg. And for the guys my age. Your kids will love it.

]]>Today Sony has officially announced it’s much talked motion controller. Now known as the PlayStation Move. This new controller is set up in a similar fashion as the WiiMote. But Make no mistake it is not the same control scheme.
Sony is saying there is virtually no lag on the controller. Making it just as responsive as the duel shock 3. It will be used in conjunction with the Eyetoy. And it will come in various bundles. No set price point. Although the Eyetoy Move bundle will be under $100. The Move will be available this Fall. The Move was shown with a fighter game. Little Big Planet. And Socom 4.
I guess I’m not too overly excited because I’m not some young kid. Or maybe I just don’t want my kids trying to kill gladiators in front of my flat screen. However you look at thing will never be the same for Sony. First person shooters and games like Oblivion will probably be fantastic with the Move. But again hat is an over simplification. This years E3 should be very entertaining.

]]>Hakan is a Turkish wrestler. His weird looks are just the beginning. I do like the hair though. No matter how odd nothing can be worse than El Fuerta. It’s just good to see Capcom pulling out the stops. It would have been cool to see Lee of Eagle from the original Street Fighter. Wow throw back. Check out these trailers. It’s hilarious
.
]]>Well we asked for it. And Marvel seems to be able to deliver. This is just incredible.
]]>With the console war in full swing the only thing that can really distinguish one console from the other are the exclusives that each console holds. Since the word EXCLUSIVE has become kind of elusive gamers are finding it hard to tell what system is actually better. Or even which one to keep or throw away.
Personally I love my PS3. Xbox 360 has it’s place in my home. Just not a big one. I have a family and I like a machine that can multitask. Got that from my wife. Playing video games on or off line. “It’s Free”. great bluray movies nice old school downloads. And the ability to play Divx movies. I won’t say too much about those Divx movies, but it’s a really beautiful thing once you learn all about it. Your girlfriend and all your friends will love it. And your Xbox buddies will hate you. Hey…you can’t win them all?! Right?!
From October ‘09 up until now Sony has really proven themselves in returning to the video game exclusive arena. Ratchet and Clank Future:ACIT, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, and the very soon to be released God of War 3. Each of the titles are a great representation of what Sony is offering. The games are continually getting better to play. Better looking. And they have a reasonable amount of playing time. Comparing Resistance 2 with Gears of War 2. Any real gamer could tell you the difference in the single player campaign is vast. Resistance offers a much more engrossing story that lends to a longer and more satisfying game. Not everyone is playing just for the online game play. Regardless of how many that are, we as gamers still want a single player campaign. The bluray discs allows Sony to create games that offer both a well made single player game experience as well as a great online experience. And as time goes on this is only being proved more and more.
Just what exactly is Sony going to be offering in the future to keep it’s fans interested in the system? And how will they try to lasso new gamers in? Just this pass week Socom 4 was announced. Made by Zipper Interactive. the original creators of Socom. The screen shots are gorgeous. Just what you can expect from Sony. Zipper is offering both an Awesome single and multiplayer mode. And as of now it is looking at a 2010 release. Already there is talk of what Sony may be bringing to the table at E3 this year. Of course ModNation Racers is in the line up. The Little Big Planet type racer will no doubt grab the attention of many gamers. For those that enjoyed LBP and those that love racing games. Gran Turismo 5 will also be hitting shelves this year. We can all only guess what else is on the table. Everyone is probably looking to here their own favorite getting a sequel. Maybe it might be Infamous 2. The original was one of the best open world games ever. Do you have a PS3? The trust me. These games I am speaking about need to be at least rented for no less that two weeks. Someone may have Killzone 3 in mind. ME?! I’m looking to hear from Insomniac. There is no sequel 
that I am anticipating more than Resistance 3. To me this game is a First Person Shooter to rival Modern Warfare. Don’t believe do you?! That’s cool. Never expected you to. But as far as shooters go. This truly is a great one. Love Sci Fi? Love Shooters? Then nothing beats Resistance. Trust and believe. As I always say,” Buy it. Play it. Love it.”
This is just the tip of the ice berg. Titles and sequels that we all could have foreseen. What about the titles that you know Sony has close to the vest. The unannounced titles. Truth be told, Sony does need one big sequel or do over. And that is Heavenly Sword. A beautiful game that just fell short of being great by a year or so of much needed development. this game was being heralded as the Goddess of War. Well we all found out that wasn’t true. No block or jump buttons. the lack of any platforming what so ever. And a story that seemed unfinished. Heavenly Sword could have been a jewel for Sony. Ninja Theory should go back and do it over. Broader
landscapes. More in depth story. And don’t forget the jump and block buttons. With Kratos probably being put to pasture for a while Nariko could take his place, only if crafted by the hands of a Master.Just think of a cross between the Prince of Persia and God of War and you get only the beginnings of what Heavenly Sword could really become.
The Game Developers Conference is coming up. Maybe Sony will have a surprise for us. If not, we can wait. The possibilities are endless. there are so many games from the PlayStation brand that could be remade or reinvigorated. And you know that have a ton of new IP’s getting ready to debut. Everyone and their grandma wants to see a Final Fantasy Remake. And that is only the beginning of a very long list. And yes I purposely left out one very special game. These types of games are made for very special people. And not very often do EVER get a particular title such as this. We know it will make waves at E3. And it will probably come out this year. “We Hope”. The game I’m referring to is The Last Guardian. Team Ico will give us something to hope in. To dream for . And maybe even cry about. Sony I believe is just getting started.

After Square Enix bought Edios I really thought new life would be breathed into the Tomb Raider franchise. This downloadable game is not like anything Tomb Raider fans will be used to. Although it is a good idea to see how gamers react to a new way of Tomb Raiding before throwing really big bucks onto a super hi def game. The name change is also a smart move. Everyone knows Lara Croft is Tomb Raider. Naming the game Lara Croft and “whatever” is just one way to add spice to this franchise. But really, the title Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light should have been saved for the newest next gen game, not a downloadable. But who am I?! Just some blogger with too much time on his hands. Check out these first pics. Really impressive for a downloadable game. But I’d love to see Tomb Raider Uncharted style. Wouldn’t you?!
