Dead Space: Severed

Gabe has different armor than Isaac and places where Isaac hasn't explored on the Sprawl. You can buy it on the PSN for $6.99 or 560 Microsoft Points on the 360. And for us PC users, no news if or when we're getting this, but I'm hoping we will get it since we recently got the first DLC.

The Wolverine

Everyone's favorite over popular X-Men gets yet another spin-off movie; The Wolverine. Hugh Jackman is returning as the role of Wolverine, but he's not in shape just yet. In an interview, on the Red Carpet last night, he talks about getting in shape.

What I'm interested in this movies is the setting. This is suppose to take place during Wolverine's stay in Japan, which means no X-Men characters, or no more of this:

This will bring about a lot of interesting characters though. Mariko could be in it along with Silver Samurai, or maybe Itsu will show her face meaning hopefully Daken will have a cameo and possibly the Winter Soldier? I'm probably just getting my hopes up.

Fear Itself

Today Marvel gave us a preview of Fear Itself #2.

So far we basically know that Fear Itself is about:
-Sin, the Red Skull's daughter finding the Norse God of Fear.
-The God of fear makes people around the world freak out and face their fears.
-God of Fear's hammers drop, the 8 most worthy will be found.
-Dracula is involved
-Seven issues long

Some speculation has been going around that the Juggernaut on the cover of Book Two could be in fact Colossus OR that Cain dies in this event and Colossus becomes the new Juggernaut. Such speculation is because of this poster Marvel released the other day:

 So, who are the worthy? And who will come on top? And what is up with Juggernaut? Guess we will find out this April and in the months to come.

Notice the lack of Archangel in the picture? I wonder what that means.

Coming Up Luigi

Imagine a world where Mario and Luigi were real, not Super Mario Bros. though. The creator of this video caught the two brothers pretty well, that is if they were actually real. This guy needs to get a hold of TNT to make a show out of this, I sure as hell would watch it, then everything will be about Luigi and not that fat lazy brother of his.

Fantastic Four Ending

The last issue of Fantastic Four came out yesterday, and I finally was able to read it. I'm not the biggest fan of The Human Torch, nor am I that deep into Fantastic Four, but my God this was a an excellent and sad ending. A majority of it was silent, just like in Ultimate Spider-Man, after Ultimatum, and everyone thought Peter was dead.

This comic brought a good amount of emotion without words, I got goosebumps once or twice.

I would love to see this. Val and her squad kicking the hell out of Annihilus for causing the death of her Uncle. Speaking of Val, we have yet found out that one deal she made with Doom a few comics ago. Maybe Doom will help Val with Annihilus since he showed up to pay his respects to Johnny.

Nathaniel Richards - father of Reed - is back. Wonder if this is right after that whole debacle with future Val and Franklin.

Thing and the Hulk getting in a tussle

This was a good part in the comic, Franklin and Spidery connected with each other talking about their uncles who have passed.

Rift

During the week, I was invited to a Rift Beta. If you don't know what Rift is, it is an MMORPG developed by Trion Worlds. If you've every played World of Warcraft or any other MMORPG, then you'll feel comfortable playing Rift. But this is not a cheap WoW rip-off. You first start off by either picking a side: The Guardians or the Defiant. I chose to go with the Defiant side, which is a group of people that don't rely on gods, but technology instead to save their world - Telara - from Remulos and his gang of dragons. Once you start playing the game, you start hard and fast with it's story line.

I first chose my character as a Rogue that specialized in Marksman (ranged weapons) Ranger (having pets) and a Saboteur (explosives). And each level, you get to add points to your Soul Tree, leveling up my Marksman, Ranger and Saboteur.

The game was pretty damn fun and highly enjoyable. And the best part; it's not WoW. The characters, models and textures are more diverse than World of Warcraft and the storyline along with it's game play is way more vast. The only problem I have with Rift is it's 15 dollar monthly fee. If there wasn't a fee, then I would buy Rift without a doubt.

Expect it in stores March 1 and preorder now for a head start.

Week Roundup

I've been quite busy the last past week and haven't been able to inform anyone on some news. So here's a long round up of things that have happened during the past week.

New screen shots of Arkham City has been released last Wednesday, hopefully you guys will get the Black Mask picture.

A lot of buzz has been surrounding Dead Island. The Call of Juarez makers, Techland, has finally picked up Dead Island after a hiatus of three years. The trailer looks absolutely beautiful and sad at the same time.

Along with the game, a rumor has been going out that the publishers of Dead Island are considering a movie adaptation, despite the many zombies movies that are already out. If a movie will happen, hopefully they will bring something new to the table and will not be a typical zombie movie.

As everyone knows, MvC3 came out this week and so far it's doing incredible. I've got my copy for my PS3 practicing until I'm good enough for online play.

If you haven't heard, today is Link's birthday, along with Zelda, Hyrule and other proper nouns in the Legend of Zelda universe. They all turn 25 today, 25 years since it's release in Japan. The Legend of Zelda is a top selling game that continues to grow and will most likely grow even more for God knows how long.

In the world of comics, many 90's kids childhood memories will be coming back at them. Duck Tales will be getting it's own ongoing series written by Epic Mickey's Warren Spector. Watch it hit stores this May, along with tons of near 15-20 year old people drooling over this new Duck Tales adaptation.

The first Fear Itself comic hits shelves March 16 with it's prologue. The prologue gives us the background of Marvel's upcoming event with the comic revolving around the Red Skull. And I've got some previews for you.
