NIN- Beside you in time review


hello hello, what can i say yesterday i went out an bought beside you in time (the new Nine Inch Nails live dvd) and watched it as soon as I got home from school. the article might be bias because i am a fan but I will try my best. The sound quality on the DVD is great, ive seen there first live dvd (all that could have been) and the sound is comparable to that. Trent Reznors group he has are a little more crazier than his previous group members so that makes for an entertaining show. If you have ever seen NIN live and you enjoyed them, pick this up! if your a NIN fan, no dought you already have it and watched it already. but for people who are just getting into NIN, who havent herd much stuff i would say go and listen to some more of there music, the old stuff, the new, and if you really liked the with teeth album than i would siggest you buy this DVD because pretty much the whole with teeth cd is on here. It sounds better live!
its also out on HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray, both which formats i havent seen so i cant tell you how it looks in HighDef. All and All the NIN Beside you in time is great! im glad i purchased it ($14.99 CAD) and i was not dissipointed, i knew what i was going to get and i got it! no more no less.

PS: new NIN album comes out april 14th called Year Zero, a couple songs have leeked: survivalism, my violent heart, me im not, and in this twilight.
it sounds awsome!

Ghost Rider Review



I went into this movie with high hopes, and I have to say that they weren't exactly met, but not crushed either. The movie had a few moments of greatness, but also some cringe worthy dialogue. The plot was pretty interesting if your into religious mythos, I'm not really too educated on the comic book so I can't compare the two origin stories, but I was convinced by the movie version.

All in all I'd give the movie a 6.8 out of 10

Power Consumption chart


Some people are worried about this kind of thing, and I'll admit it is pretty interesting. Will this influence your decision when casting your vote in the console war? Probably not.

Spider-Man 3 Game Trailer in 'HD'



So after seeing this game in motion with the absence of that god awful youTube compression I have to say it looks good, but not great. Spidey is a bit toyish, very shiny plastic sort of look, and the animation is a bit disappointing. Of course I still think it looks good, the in game cutscenes (car jumping) look great! but I can't help but notice that some animation transitions are a bit jumpy. Mind you there is probably a lot of development to be done still.

As a man who was dangerously obsessed with Spider-man for a good portion of his high school career I can say that I'll play anything with 'Spider-Man' in the title, but I'm not blind to faults. The game will be a blast despite what it looks like - hey thats why I have a Wii after all.

I'm picky.

It'll be a great game I just hope they fix up the character model a bit, even explosions...Red Steel had better explosions than this... anyways, I'm rambling.

Spider-Man 3 info finally released


After what has been a long, hard year of waiting Treyarch has finally pried the lid off their biggest project to date. Spider-Man 3 is coming to basically every platform imaginable so everybody has the right to be excited. While The spider-man model may be a bit 'wonky' it still looks really good, and I can only speculate that the animation is even better than that of Spider-Man 2. Mind you the screens shown are from Ps3, and/or the Xbox360.

There are some pretty interesting details such as the fact that the city will actually feel either happy with you or hate you, based on your actions. The symbiote gameplay sounds really cool too, take a look!

Heres the full overview via Gamespot

D.I.C.E



This week the game industry is sitting down to chat about business... Developers will be sharing some of their feelings on where the industry is going, how to expand the market, and what they think makes a game good...Alright, so I'm not really 100% sure what, exactly, goes on at D.I.C.E... There are some speeches and what not, but I pretty much just described GDC - game developers conference (which is coming up soon aswell). Anyways, what I do know is that, Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln, Nintendo legends were honoured.

But what we all actually care about, THE AWARDS! unlike the oscars there were no scandilous dresses, or metalic naked men to distract us - but, much like the oscars I'd suppose there are some questionable winners. Personally, I think it's a pretty good list.
