Last week saw the release of House of The Dead: Overkill for the PlayStation Move. Just in time for Halloween the updated shooter includes tons of new goodies including two full new levels. I'm spending Halloween playing this delight with my family, after we watched Hobo With A Shotgun. Which BTW, is awesome! ;)
The launch of Overkill had me pick up a few more Sega treasures including Super Monkey Ball and Aliens: Infestation for the DS/3DS. More great stuff!
Tomorrow is the big day. An anniversary title for a blue hedgehog which is getting huge word of mouth buzz. :)

Batman Returns Is Awesome
It's been 10 years since I watched Tim Burton's follow up to his classic blockbuster Batman. The release of Batman Arkham City, brought a Batman renaissance of pop culture interest and craving.
Burton's Batman Returns was released in the summer of 1992. The tone of the film remained the same from the first. Yet, everything else was fresh and new. Two classic villains. A tragic tale of a misunderstood monster. A sexy feline villainous. Dark humor. Great action. However, like most film goers in 1992, I was disappointed of the follow up. It was to diverse and unique. I wanted a direct follow up. One that was very similar to the first. Yet Burton and his team had the talent to bring something different. Heck, even the season changed from the first film's summer to the sequel's winter to make it environmentally diverse.
Watching Batman Returns today is a delight. It's the rare film sequel that is exciting, different and engaging. Keaton returns in top form. His Batman remains quiet, cool and yearns for a little more humanity in his tragic life. DeVito's Penguin is tragic, hilarious and very unique of any interpretation of the villian. Finally, Michelle's portrait of Catwoman is dead on amazing and ferociously sexy. Her screen presence is strong and visually striking. Yeah, when I was kid in the early 1990's and saw her on the big screen, I fell in love with her amazing performance. She looked gorgeous in that cat outfit on top of that. ;)
Today, much like the past, we have the Hollywood sequel machine. A equals B. Part 1 insert to Part 2. Yet, in the summer on 1992, Warner Brothers gambled once and paid off in time a sequel which captured Burton and Batman fans alike.
Rejoice and enjoy. If you haven't watched Batman Returns, you owe it to yourself.

Assassin's Creed For iOS, EH?!?!
I was poking around Apple's App store for any further adventures of Altair or Ezio and to my surprise, there was!
Exclusive to Canadian Apple App store shoppers, Ubisoft has released a free game entitled Assassin's Creed: Rearmed. Once again, it is a free and exclusive to Canuckers like myself. What I gather is that the adventure is a multi-player game. I have yet to fire it up. If it's anything like the previous iOS titles, we are in sure for a treat! ;)
Your Gaming Life Will Change February 22, 2012
It is the PlayStation Vita and it will change your life. Simply put, the Vita is a console in your pocket. With old, current and new ways to interactive with entertainment. It features a gorgeous 5-inch OLED screen, which has to be seen to be believed.
February 22nd, 2012 is only 4 months away. I can't wait.
A Post 65 Million Years In The Making
Sup Dawgs!?!?
It's been a while since my last post. Life got busy. A new career started after school finished. I'm trying to juggle the new job with a side business, alongside my family and a little baby. Busy. Busy. Busy some more. Alas, I still find time to play games, drink beer and watch football. My Green Bay Packers, as of this writing are still undefeated with a 6-0 rating. Hell yeah! Arron Rodgers is the man. Hooray!
What have I been playing? A little bit of this and that. Gran Turismo 5 had a recent huge update and I hit the road with a beautiful retro Camero. Damn. GT5 is a beautiful looking game. Sega's Vanquish is awesome! It just screams classic Sega. You have to own that game! I picked up Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars for my PS3 and PSP. This game just rocks! Tons of fun! Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is classic. Beautiful, mysterious and grand, you spend your time rebuilding Rome as you unravel the secrets of the Templar's. Finally, yes I had to get it. Batman Arkham City is just awesome.
So what is coming up? Sony is releasing an affordable 3D PlayStation branded monitor mid-November. Hmm... Tempting! Sonic Generations hits store shelves November 1st! Hell yes! Big Daddy Boss and Snake return in HD with the Metal Gear Solid Collection in November 8th. Uncharted 3 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations arrive in November as well. Yes! Yes! Yyyeeessssss!!!! It really isn't fair, there is so much greatness arriving in such a short time.
BTW, thanks for your visits and hanging in there when nothing was posted. Cheers!
