THIS GAME TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

I just played Killing Floor PC for the first time with my girlfriend a couple of hours ago and MAN WAS IT A BLAST!

Talk about giving new definition to the phrase SURVIVAL HORROR! The game's concept is fairly simple: Survive wave after wave of zombies (similar to Left4Dead but not on a stage basis). Each level would give you about 10 waves (LEMME HEAR YOU SAY IT! REPLAYABILITY!) Each wave would require you to kill a number of zombies (depending on how many players are playing it) and once you achieve the goal, you're then redirected to a Trader to resupply ammo, buy weapons, change classes and so on. Be warned though that there is a time limit for purchasing before the next wave pushes through. That's the basic gameplay. Each wave would release the different species of zombies, from the basic peons to the peons with big assed machete's to the fat ass acid spewing bitches to sirens to crawlers and the list goes on and on. Thankfully you have grenades up your sleeves. And No, you can't push away zombies when you're mobbed like in L4D... So better exercise those reflexes 'cos this aint L4D!

Each player can choose between different classes, each with different benefits: Sharpshooter, Commando, Berserker, Field Medic, Support Specialist, Firebug.

It's a very addictive game with a high replay value and the gameplay is just perfect in my opinion. I love the challenge and I love the horde of scary assed mofo's coming right at me. I have finished 5 waves of one level all by myself and that was just BEGINNER'S LUCK!

Survival Horror at its best!

'GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra' SuperBowl Commercial
Uploaded by trentisthenewpink

A short trailer of the upcoming GI Joe Rise of the Cobra flick was shown in the recently concluded Superbowl.

The trailer kicks ass... `Nuff said!

Months have passed since word spread that Marvel was courting Kenneth Branagh to direct their upcoming big screen re-launch of one of their most favored heroes, Thor. But so far, a peep from Branagh is yet to be heard. MTV News caught up with the actor/filmmaker and asked him about the project.

“I am directing ‘Thor’ or ‘The Mighty Thor’ as you might like to call it,” he said with a smile before clarifying what the title of the upcoming film will be. “I think it will be ‘Thor’.”

Other writers have voiced out about why Branagh would be such a good fit for the hero. But what did Branagh find appealing about this project? “To work on a story about one of the immortals, Gods, extraordinary beings, inter-dimensional creatures,” he said with enthusiasm.

“There’s science fiction and science fact and fantasy all woven into one. It’s based on Norse legends which Marvel sort of raided in a brilliant way,” he continued excitedly.

So who is most likely to play Branagh’s hero? There were rumors about Kevin McKidd being up for the role of Thor, but the director simply waved it off as premature speculation.

“There’s been lots of talk [about casting] --- I sound like a politician --- but we are too early at this stage. We’re getting the story and the visual effects together and all of that is very exciting. Someone sensational is going to play the part but it is still early to tell.”
Just because Branagh hasn’t worked on a project of this scale since “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein,” fear not. This “Thor” promises to live up to its name as large as the character would seem to call out for. “It’s a chance to tell a big story on a big scale,” said Branagh. “It’s a human story right in the center of a big epic scenario”

Branagh’s been keeping mum for the most part, but do you like what he has to say so far? Is he the best director for “Thor”?

When I first heard of the rumors of an upcoming GI Joe movie sometime late last year, I thought to myself “A GI Joe movie? This should be nice.” It has been a while since I last saw a glimpse of the GI Joe cartoon series or the GI Joe action figures but then this movie comes along and boy I cannot wait to watch it.
I just hope it doesn’t disappoint the loyal viewers of the series. The movie does include a powerhouse cast like Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans among the other Joe and Cobra soldiers. Under the watchful and creative eye of Director Stephen Sommers, and after viewing his filmography, I have a feeling that this movie might end up as a huge success, to fans and new viewers alike.
The movie is said to be released on August 2009, in line with other upcoming summer flicks.

The rumors are confirmed and it is true that there is really a Prince of Persia movie franchise in the making.
Before anything else, here is the plot of the movie, based on the video game: Prince of Persia, Sands of Time.

Set in medieval Persia, this is the story of an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. The prince was tricked however by the dying Vizier to unleash the Sands of Time that destroys a kingdom and transforms its people into demons. The prince, realizing his fatal mistake, must save his own kingdom and it is up to him and the princess to return the sands to the hourglass with the use of the Dagger of Time, which also gives him a limited control over the flow of time.

According to IMDB, the movie is set to be released on May 28 in the year 2010. The movie is said to be directed by Mike Newell, who’s got movies like : The Mona Lisa Smile, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, under his belt and to be produced by the legendary Jerry Bruckheimer. The cast will be featuring Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Ben Kingsley as Nizam the Vizier, and Gemma Arterton as Tamina.
I am not one who appreciates the videogame based movie franchise since most that came into the big screen like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, Hitman, Final Fantasy and as the list goes on end up as a disappointment to expectant gamers like me for expecting the movie to live up to what it was in the video games. But sadly, a twist of the plot here, a dead character here may seem like a glorified cinematic twist of fate for the non-gaming populace, it is a big deal for the rest of the other half of the populace watching the movie and say “Oh man, he/she wasn’t supposed to die.” Emphasis on supposed to means that we tend to value the movie the same way we value its videogame counterpart.

But enough of my rants, the movie poster of the Prince of Persia: Sands of time is said to appear in Jerry Bruckheimer’s upcoming chick flick, Confessions of a Shopaholic to be shown in theaters on the 13th of February 2009.
