CG To The Rescue!

Okay, I just saw the trailer for the upcoming CG-movie Resident Evil: Degeneration and I'm totally freakin' over it as a huge fan of the franchise! After the disappointment that were the liveaction Resident Evil films, I hope this one will finally make up for everything that has been done wrong in the past. However, the presentation in the trailer is not too fancy (pretty simple indeed) but what you can tell from the pictures alone so far, looks pretty promising to me. Will definetly be one of the first fans in the theaters when this screens 2008.

The Boomstick And You

Did you know that psychopaths are friggin' cool guys?! Well, at least if you want to believe the creators of the Hitman-series and their newest game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Yes that's right! After the bad luck of last week, we could finally lay our hands on this one for the Xbox 360. We were not expecting too much from it, but we were quiet surprised after rounding up. It's undeniable that the story, graphics, AI, gamemechanics (especially the cover system) and foremost the overall gameplay-time are really on the short/poor side in this one. However, you'll learn to live with that and how to handle these flaws right in a short amount of time. After that, you'll start realizing that the locations in this game always stay very fresh. From urban scenarios over a japanese night club and a U.S. prison to the green hell of a jungle, this game got it all. It also features the probably most awesome game dialoges since long. Imagine you stand of the rooftop of a building, empty a whole MP-magazine into an enemy bitch that just keeps shoting at you and after she drops, your partner says something like: "Kane, I think... she is dead...". Even in the german synchronisation they were still simply hilarious and well done, which is very rare in my opinion. So yeah, this game really was a lot fun eventhough not being the greatest out there. Really not 60,98 EUR-good by any means but decent. We completed the game on the hardest difficulty (here called: morphium) in about 7 ½ hours. If you can rent it somewhere and ideally play it with a buddy in co-op, do it. You will not be wasting your time on a shitty game, we promise. After you get the first archivment for shooting an enemy with Lynch that beforehand begs for his life and tells your about the children he got, you will know what we're talkin about. Simply badass. We also got the remaining skulls in Halo 3 and finally finished it on legendary by the way. Yeah~

On a sidenote: Did you know that spam is actually getting intelligent?! Dude #2 just received a mail with my real name in the subject, informing him that I bought my new watch at some product pirate's website. The funny thing besides the usage of my real name is, I actually bought a new watch just last week. But of course not on this website. Instead, I went to the Karstadt near my place and purchased one. Still a very strange coincident... big spammer is watching you!

Dead Men Ain't Dead Yet

Never rely on chances. Ever. Because it may turn out the same way as for us: After we planed for a nice gentlemen's day with Mr. Kane and Lynch of the same-named game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men for the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, we ended up having our plans blown due to extremely bad luck. After reading the reviews for this title, we calculated that the approximately 6 hours of gameplay one gets out of it aren't really worth about 50 bucks for this one. So we familiarized with the idea of renting it at the local video stores. Since it isn't really a blockbuster-title, ratings are just average, it's already out for some time and we had 3 video stores to check in total, we thought our chance of getting hold of a copy should be pretty high. Well, we were dead wrong. First store: 1 copy for Xbox 360 - gone. Second store: 1 copy for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 - gone too. Third store: 2 copys for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 - also gone. To sum it up: All 7 copies rented! Felt like someone bitch-slapped you hard, I tell you. Anyway, after this letdown (and some problems with microsoft's gamertag recovery system), we settled for another round of Gears-coop-insane-mode-action and Halo 3 skull-hunting on legendary which turned out to be a hell of fun again. All-in-all not our luckiest day. But hey, can't hold true geeks down, can you!? However, hope we'll have better luck next Saturday. Well, and if not... there are still Locust to defeat and skulls to collect. But I really would love to kick some ass K&L-style next time!
