O'HOLY SHIT

Ok, apologies everyone, but I now have a job! So therefore updating this comes second I'm afraid, but wow, I've got updates on all the games and movies and two special reviews, as well as updating completely my games blog!

Lets start with

TERMINATOR SALVATION

Well they have finished principle photography, and are heavily involved in editing. Yet my hopes for more physical effects have been dashed as 'visual effects never attempted before' are being attempted on the avid screen. HA!

Well Jim Cameron clarified things to, apparently he got a phone call from McG (fuck his name just sounds like a shit Gangster or a burger) called Jim and said he'd send a script and some film. To this date Jim Cameron has not one word of script or not a yard of film. So therefore it looks like McG is too scared to what Jim might think of his shitfest.

Here was a video that I spotted a while back, in which I didn't have time to share my feelings, well I'll share them with you now.

To be honest this film looks bad, I mean I think I'm going to be right on this one, it has non of the grit that teh first one had, and I doubt it will deeply question the themes of the first two, about responsaibility, motherhood, childhood, adulthood, taking another life etc.

My first impression of Kyle Reese is also mixed. I must admit my heart leaped when he said the famous line, but I'm not sure how his character will progress. I'd definitely like to see some sort of character development like Bond grew in Casino Royale.

Anyway I predict Terminator Salvation will be nothing more than a small nod to the first two movies, and will be nothing but a pile of shit on top of the first two at the same time, I might even say it would be on par with T3 on the shit-o-meter. So if you ejoy mindless popcorn movies, go see it, cry like I did (inside) when I saw Indy 4. Fuck this film, I'll see it (on ninja video) but fuck paying to see this at the magic lantern show until I’ve disproved my theory.

DEAD RISING:

Just a few words, I've seen more footage, and screenshots, and it just looks a joke, there are still about 10-15 zombies on screen, and there isn't much improvement on anything here. This is just like farcry on the Wii, petty and pointless. Although I'd like to say I'll give it a review when it comes out, I just don't want myself to be put through this awful game, especially when Resident Evil 4 gave us at least 30 - 40 enemies on screen.

However on the Dead Rising 2 mountain: DR2 is rumoured to be in development by Blue Castle Games (America), where Capcom (Japan) will just be publishing it. There isn't much to go on here. Dead Rising was a good game, the fact that this was the first true 'zombie' game for the 7th generation was awesome, we could for the first time see the zombie apocalypse, unlike RE3 for the Playstation; this was a vast leap. DR2 has a lot of heavy expectations, so hopefully whomever develops it better do a good job, or a lot of fanboys will be baying for their blood like hungry zombies.

ROBOCOP:

Nothing much new here, but I'm still pretty excited of what a reinvented Robocop could bring us. Apparently it will hardly resemble the old film, which to me will in this case particularly bring some new fresh feelings. The reboot is there to bring something new like Batman Begins, but bring a change even more radical than what Begins was compared to the original.
I can't wait to sink my critical teeth into the first trailer.

RESIDENT EVIL 5

Oh my god, I've missed a LOT of news on Resident Evil 5, and you guys will know more than I do at the moment, you may have even played it, seems like a tilde wave of RE5 news has hit us: We have hands on impressions and RE5 for PC (like that was unexpected) and a whole bunch of odds and sods.

Well as you guys have already read it I'm just going to give a quick overview on my predictions for the game so far, because I don't want you to read through what you already know.

To be honest I think this game will be ok. Just OK, I'm expecting it to be action packed, in which I despise in a RE game. I expected it to be a more oiled version of RE4, which isn't a bad thing. I think I'll be entertained. What I don't think it will bring is a gritty storyline which raises questions about humanity and where we are heading, I'm not expecting to be scared, I'm not expecting Dead Space either, just entertainment. I think this game is expected to be no more than 7 out of 10 and a minimum of 4.5 out of 10. Still it seems exciting and I can't wait to play it. I must admit all the hype has got me worked up.

Ok, so next up will be my double bill review-a-thon: Quantum of Solace and Dead Space.
