Inglourious Basterds FTW

"Inglourious Basterds" begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa. Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as "The Basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.

Cities XL Getting Special Content

Monte Cristo announced that when Cities XL launches, a special limited edition will be available. Cities XL’s Standard Edition box will include the installation DVD for the game, two instruction manuals, and a 7-day trial code for the online Planet Offer. A neat way to get more people hooked has been found in including a trial offer on a second DVD so that one of your friends can discover the game.

Your Sims Are Going Places!

Electronic Arts has announced the first Expansion Pack to the The Sims 3. Due out November 16, the expansion will allow players to take their Sims on adventures, visiting China, Egypt, and France, being among the many places. This expansion pack is also coming with 1,000 SimPoints ($10 worth) that can be used to buy in-game items. It, of course, will have many new items, including clothing, furniture, and possibly new physical appearance changes. Expect it to be priced about half the original game, or $30, just like all the other ones. While we were hoping for something sooner, or different, this will give us some flavor to an already great game.

H2: Michael's Comin' Home

On August 28th Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 hits theaters. If it's as good as the first, we're gonna love this one. Here's the trailer to get you excited.

Prince Of Persia Movie Epic Fail?

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is scheduled to come out May of 2010 but the question is whether or not it's worth seeing. The first thing you may notice is that Jake Gyllenhaal is playing the role of Prince Dastan a Persian when Gyllenhaal is only slightly darker then an albino boy with a small tan. Gyllenhaal's ethnicity aside there is also the fact that Disney thinks they have what it takes to satisfy the Prince of Persia fans that have been anticipating this long awaited movie. It's hard to believe they are getting the honor of turning this game into a movie when their last live action "hit" was hamsters with guns. But.....yes there is a but, Disney did not disappoint in the live action Pirates of The Caribbean series that we all know and love, so maybe just maybe this movie has a chance. Sands of Time will defiantly separate the true Persia fans from those that are gonna see this movie and not write an angry blog about it afterwards.

Angry comments expected and encouraged,

Would a Second Chance Change You?

So, Adam Sandler's new movie, "Funny People" is out. We've heard good and bad things. 

Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann star in the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience... and what he does with a second chance. Director Judd Apatow addresses a question that hasn't before been touched with such trademark bluntness: If you had the chance to start all over again, would you be the same jerk you always were?

Have you seen it?

Halloween II in August

Rob Zombie made an impact with Halloween. He's back again, ready to give Michael another stab (no pun intended) at Haddonfield, IL. The premise of the story, is that Michael Meyers had some unfinished family business to take care of, and there may be a new "hero". I look forward to it.

The sequel stars Scout Taylor-Compton, Tyler Mane, Malcolm McDowell, Chase Wright Vanek, Sheri Moon Zombie, Danielle Harris, Ezra Buzzington, Brea Grant, Matt Bush, Dayton Callie, Richard Brake, Howard Hesseman, Chris Hardwick, Bill Fagerbakke and Caroline Williams. Rob Zombie is, again behind the camera, based on a script he wrote.

“Halloween II” will hit theaters on August 28th.

SAW VII Greenlit

So, apparently, Lionsgate has given the green light for Saw 7 to start production in January with  David Hackl -- production designer of the second, third and fourth films -- to direct.

Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote the fourth, fifth and sixth films, are said to be writing the seventh.

It's great, but when will it end??

Pandemic: American Swine Out Tomorrow

A sequel to the very popular flash game, Pandemic II, is slated to be released tomorrow on Kongregate. "Pandemic: American Swine turns the entire Pandemic game series on its head by pitting the player against the Swine Flu as the United States government. Instead of evolving a disease you will now be managing national assets in order to prevent the spread of the disease. With the help of vaccines and military support you will have to completely eradicate the disease from the United States." -darkrealmstudios.com

One user review calls the game "pretty hard, even on easy. But not Madagascar-hard"

I, for one, am really excited for this game, but DRS needs to get their act together when it comes to relase dates. All of their current projects should be released by now, and Pandemic: AS is over a month late. Let's see if it's worth the wait.
