Microsoft was kind enough to invite me to their E3 Press Conference, so I figured I’d be kind enough to share my experience. The place was packed and the parking was insane, not even the 50 man valet team could keep up with the parking. They practically kick you out of your car so they can move to the next one. You then move your way through a bunker to a giant snake line. This line reminded me of the Blizzcon line, I’m sure some of you know what I mean. After waiting in line for 30 minutes they finally started letting us in, it feels like you are going to a concert there are so many darn people, and there are assigned seating levels! This thing is huge. Enough about that, lets move onto the show.

Rock Band Beatles

Doesn’t the world know, the rock band fad is fading out. I think the games are great, but all these branded rock bands are getting old. There should be one rock band, and downloadable updates and songs for new features, we don’t need a new release every six months, nobody can afford it. Bringing out the former Beatles and Yoko Ono, while cool, doesn’t help sell more. Next time, try to inform them what they are coming on stage for, they seemed a bit confused.

Tony Hawk: Ride

Activision skipped a year of Tony Hawk releases to develop this new skate board / game combo, and I think it paid off. It’s literally a full size skateboard controller without the wheels, it looks like a lot of fun. The only issue I see is you will need a good amount of room, and It costs $129. When It drops below a $100 I think it will be much more worth checking out. Read more..

Last you saw of this film was the behind the scenes look I posted earlier. There were mixed receptions about the film preview I posted, but I think it looks cool and will definately go see. Touchstone released an official trailer for the film which you can see here. Enjoy!

2009 has brought yet another sequel/reboot of a classic movie series. Two weeks after the return of Star Trek, McG brings the fourth installment of Terminator to the big screen. This one takes place in the year 2018 with John Connor (Christian Bale) in full Viva la Resistance mode. Connor is on two missions this time around, to destroy SkyNet and to find the whereabouts of Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), who he must save so he can travel back to become his father circa the original Terminator movie. Causing a problem in all this is the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), whose last memory is of being on death row in 2003.

The Good:

Marcus and Kyle were the real stars of the movie. Whether it was from the acting or just the fact that they seemed to have most of the good lines and plot, these main players stole the movie for me. Oh ya, and there were the massive action scenes that blew me away as well. McG sure knows how to set up sets and then blow them up.

If you have never played a Resident Evil game, they are quite an experience in themselves. I am not sure about the rest of you but when I played Resident Evil 1 for the first time and those dogs jumped through the window I nearly pee’d my pants. The game begins as Chris Redfield is deployed to Kijuju, Africa, to join Sheva Alomar and apprehend Ricardo Irving. Irving is attempting to sell a bio-organic weapon on the black market. Along the way, they witness a local being fed a parasite, which quickly takes control of his body, turning him into a Majini. From here on, almost all Kijuju locals seen by Chris and Sheva have been turned into Majini. At that point you are put on a wild chase taking out giant monsters, psycho zombies, and bizarre puzzles! Enjoy the ride.

Title: Resident Evil 5

The Good:

This game has many things going for it such as extremely deep and intriguing story line. Although the story line is a bit wild, the characters and cut scenes dig you deep into the world that you are convinced it all is real. The visuals in this game as insanely awesome, by far one of the best games visually on the 360 or PS3. When the characters talk and move around the quality is starting to get arguably close to that film Final Fantasy and the spirits within. One other great thing about this game is the insanely cool boss fights. When something ginormous jumps out at you and you have to figure out a way to kill it, shoot it, chase it, who knows what, it is a thrilling and challenging experience. To top off all this greatness is the fact you can do all these things, with a friend. Sitting down with a buddy and shooting the crap out of zombies. Nothing is better.  It’s what I was hoping for the moment I picked up the game Dead Rising.
