Posted on June 3, 2009

We’re still here in Los Angeles for the big E3 gaming convention. Its a big show full of all kinds of great games, giant booths, loud music and even the occasional pretty girl — okay, there’s quite a few pretty girls, who are we kidding? Hey, there’s also some handsome dudes for you ladies as well, so don’t worry.

Previously, we’ve brought you all kinds of news from the show including the big Microsoft and Sony announcements, previews of cool upcoming games like Ultimate Alliance 2, Wolfenstein, James Cameron’s Avatar, Singularity and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

E3 2009: First Look At ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’

Posted on June 3, 2009

During the E3 show in Los Angeles yesterday, LucasArts and Bioware showed a sneak peek of their highly anticipated game Star Wars: The Old Republic. In case you’re one of the few not familiar with the game, here’s some details for you complete with a cool screenshot and trailer (after the jump).

The story begins 3,500 years before the rise of Darth Vader, when Revan disappeared into space, looking for a Sith Empire run by an Emperor determined to destroy his ancient Jedi enemies. Revan never returned. But the Sith Empire did. And now, they have plans to invade and take over our favorite galaxy far, far away.

According to LucasArts, this game is the first fully voiced MMO. Every class, male or female, and every single NPC or quest in the entire game will have a full voice-over. Like Knights of the Old Republic, the conversation tree in The Old Republic has three choices and every choice you make affects gameplay, sometimes drastically. But since this game is in real time, there is no chance to save and see what would have changed if you had made another choice.

New ‘Mad Men’ Season 3 Trailer

Posted on June 3, 2009

Mad Men has easily become one of the highest anticipated and best received new dramas on television in the past few years, bringing critics –both young and old–together to rejoice in the phenomenon. With 3 Golden Globes, another 20 misc. award wins, and 33 nominations, the show has certainly made its mark over on AMC.

Season 2 left us hanging back in October of last year. Already, fans are clamoring for more Mad Men, and they unfortunately have to wait till August to get it. Fortunately, there’s a new trailer for Season 3 to help you pass the time.

With pregnancies, mergers, and the Cuban Missile Crisis on our minds, will this trailer answer any of our questions? Check it out after the jump and find out!

Mad Men Season 2 is available on DVD July 14th.

E3 2009: Cool Trailers for ‘Ultimate Alliance 2’, ‘Singularity’ and ‘Wolfenstein’

Posted on June 3, 2009

singularity-screen-11 Here in Los Angeles at the E3 show, we managed to get into a few cool game demos at the Activision booth to see some footage and experience games including Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, Wolfenstein and Raven’s new, secret title Singularity. We also managed to snag some great trailers for these games as well and can bring them to you now.

These trailers highlight a lot of the games’ action and many of the things we think make video games as fun as they are: interesting and engaging stories, beautiful graphics, intense situations and of course, explosions and shooting bad guys in the head. Of course, these are previously rendered scenes, not actual gameplay footage, so they look really nice.

Although, during the live demos we saw at E3 today, the games all looked pretty darn good during actual gameplay as well. I guess that just shows you how good the XBox 360 gaming platform is. Its pretty powerful.

Plus, those programmers and artists at the game’s publishers really seem to know what they’re doing, which helps. Check out all three trailers after the break.

First Pictures of Josh Brolin as ‘Johan Hex’ Drop

Posted on June 3, 2009

josh-brolin-jonah-hex-3-small We’ve bought you news of this film previously but before today, we only had photos of Megan Fox in costume and on the set for her as-yet unknown role in the feature film adaptation of DC’s comic Jonah Hex. We knew there were other actors in the film, of course, including Josh Brolin as the title character. But until now, there were no pictures of him available playing the character or others from the set.

Fortunately, when crawling the Internets late at night as I often do, I came across these three pretty cool images from Lainey Gossip (don’t judge) featuring Brolin in full costume and make-up for his role as the ex-confederate bounty hunter who lets his pistols do the talking and racks up a high body count in the process. Now that Brolin’s character is out of the bag, hopefully it won’t be too long before we get some pics of some of the other actors in the film including Michael Shannon, Will Arnett and John Malkovich.

Jonah Hex rides into theaters, guns blazing, on August 10. Be sure to check out the full photos after the break.

Spider-Man 4 Poster Released

Posted on June 3, 2009

While the movie doesn’t come out until 2011, and there’s no official word on what the story is, that hasn’t stopped the friendly, neighborhood marketing machine from releasing the very first poster for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4. It doesn’t reveal much, but it at least gives us hope that there WILL be a fourth film.

In a recent interview with Raimi, he said that playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Inkheart) is working on the script and should have it done any day now. With that, should come details on what the next plot will be, including the villain, (Lizard and Morbius?). But until then, we have this teaser-ish poster to hold us over.

Spider-Man 4 is set to hit theaters on May 6, 2011, and will star Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
