    Post your specs, otherwise how the hell are we supposed to know what framerate you should be getting.

  • Game of the decade is maybe a bit too much, that title would have to go with Half Life 2 for me, but this is going to be one hell of a game.

I currently go to College, 5 days a week, 6AM-6PM. When I get back i'm exhausted, irritable and hungry like a beast. 
My Mum is currently unemployed, and is a good cook (when she wants to be), however, she seems to think that me asking for food is the epitomey of rudeness, and has not cooked food for over a month. We live in a tiny village, with no takeaways, and the nearest grocery store is a 40 minute drive. There is NEVER any ingredients at home, and I almost always end up eating beans on toast for supper/tea.
 
I guess I expect her to buy ingredients during the day when i'm at College and make me some food when I get back, am I stupid to think this?

So, I just had a 2 hour conversation with her, her agent, my friend and a fan of hers.
 
Basically, my friend invites me into the conversation, I see the name, get suspicious, but sure enough, it's her.
 
I firstly came out clean that I am more of a Lost man myself, but did enjoy the first season of Heroes.  
There really isn't much else to talk about, she seems like a nice person, but I felt guilty that I was talking to her whilst some of her biggest fans would kill to get the opportunity.
 
Random, I know, but that's what blogs are for, right?

Wait, I thought as this was a blog post I could just post whatever the hell I wanted?
 
Oh well, in that case, as this is a blog... I stumbled across this video, lulz followed, I thought I would share it with the Giantbomb community.
 
Does anyone know the original video with the dudes in the car headbanging?

Neil Marshall, basically.

According to industry sources, 20th Century Fox really want Neil Marshall to direct the upcoming franchise reboot, and I for one, think this could be a really good idea.

Best.Werewolf.Film.Ever.
Best.Werewolf.Film.Ever.


Marshall directed the stunning 2005 survival horror, The Descent, and the excellent action horror Dog Soldiers back in 2002.
As well as Predator, there are also rumours of Marshall directing Alien 5, which would really work, again, The Descent is highly comparable to Alien and most likely heavily inspired by it(what decent horror film hasn't been?). So with the source material in his grasp, i'm sure Marshall could return the Alien franchise to its bleak, disturbing roots.


Depressing, disturbing and unforgettable use of the Alien. Exactly what AVP lacked.

So it seems Fox are actually treating these reboots with the respect they need, respect that has been lacking in recent years. There are a few that excelled their expectations, Dawn Of The Dead, Hills Have Eyes to name but two, but generally it has been a horrible few years for hardcore horror fans, their beloved franchises helplessly whored out.

The Ribena swimming pool was in high demand.

The Descent was survival horror perfection. The Descent is one of the best horror films of all time, Marshall has already shown he can do gritty action horror, so would seem the obvious choice for this project.





For me, Dawn Of The Dead showed that not only can a remake match it's
predecessor, but surpass it, which gives me hope for this project. AVP 1+2 were generic MEH, far from both the franchises defining and terrifying roots.

There is a glimmer of hope then, for the impending Alien and Predator reboots.

Took about half an hour. The guy on the top is Gabe Newell by the way.

Awesome Kong. ()
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie is a great film to game adaption which captures all the drama, character development and scenery from the Peter Jackson movie. There are completely new areas which dont feature in the film and the ability to play as Kong really ...
