Mark Hamill is done son done... LOL..


When Batman Arkham Asylum was announced everyone including your mom was excited. We got even more excited when we heard that all the original voice actor from Batman the Animated series would be taking there the stage to voice the characters in the game. When the sequel was announced again everyone was excited. And again everyone is going to be voice by there original voice actor. Mark Hamill though has said that this will be the last time that he will voice the character. He told rocksteady that nothing will ever be as good as the first but after rocksteady told him what they have planned for the game he said yes. And regrettably this will be the last time that Mark Hamill will dawn the purple blazer and white makeup for The Joker..

Natal going to be $150 and Bundled with the Arcade for $300..


When Natal was revealed in 2008 at E3 everyone and myself was really surprised that Microsoft was making the move to Motion sensing. I was skeptical until I saw all the things that you can do with natal connected to your 360. Now after about a 2 years later the Natal system has a release month October but not a date. Since there is finally a month for release there are pricing and bundling rumors running about. Some being that the Natal add on will be $150 by itself and it will also have a Arcade Bundle for $300. Honestly it doesnt sound so bad. Now all we have to do is wait to see the pricing on Sony's move system.

Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands (I know it is late.)

Late last year Ubisoft released a revamped version of Prince of Persia. Titled Prince of Persia LOL. The games was not so bad I really enjoyed the cell shading and and the new story ark that Ubisoft has created. That was me though everyone who played the sands of time and anything from the trilogy hated it. In order to fix all the hate and get on their good sides Ubisoft has released The Forgotten Sands.

The story takes place right before The Warrior Within. The Prince is sent to live with his brother Malik so he can learn to become a Great King. But like most Prince of Persia games it begins with him walking into a Battle. So after again like all games something is released to be exact Malik releases what they think is King Solomons Army but actually it is something worse. So you are tasked but the Jin yeah I said the Jin to recapture the Army.

The gameplay is not so bad the fighting is some what missing something for my taste but it is fun it is simple yet compelling. What you will be most happy about if you loved the first 3 games is the platforming it is great. It helps you forget all the wrongs in this game. All the other people that have played this game have been reporting glitches but after 3 hours I have not found any and lets hope that I dont. All in all if you a Prince of Persia fan get this game it will be a great fix for the first 3 and it will fill you with Nostalgia. But if you want to get the easy achievements just rent it.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review


Hello Fellow Geeks as we all know Super Mario Galaxy 2 continues from Super Mario Galaxy 1. the question is does it play any different. When I first started this game I felt like wow I did this before and thought, man did Nintendo drop the ball on their prize fighter game…..

The story so far is the same with most Super Mario Games. Bowser kidnaps the Princess. Mario goes out and retrieves her. Nuff said with that the game play is similar to the first one but slowly takes things to the next level to the point where the game goes in directions and levels beyond the galaxy world. You will also have help along the way with Mario's Right Hand and Loyal Dino Yoshi where you both fly across the galaxy fighing Bowsers Baddies. You thought you seen it all in Super Mario Galaxy then you are mistaken. Nintendo didn’t disappoint when creating this sequel. When it comes to the wii titles, Super Mario is the number 1 in Nintendo’s arsenal. A lot of the levels the game is similar to the original but once you get into it the game delivers new and unique challenges. For example levels change with a flick of a button, Mario will be pulled up to the ceiling of a level into the floor, and pipes that Mario enters in a closed area take you inside the planet where a whole new world emerges. The Graphics are visually stunning and beautiful as well as colorful on you HDTV. The Sound is also superb as you here the sounds of classic Mario to the new renditions of the galaxy planets around you, who says in space no one can here you scream…. Well maybe not scream but at least Mario makes a jump sound and you hear it nice and clear on your tv, lol. The Game play like I said is similar to the first game but gets challenging once you progress through it. Overall The game is fun for all ages as well as the hardcore Mario Fans out there. You will not be disappointed buying this game.

Robo Geisha Review at Japan Society NYC


Yesterday was a great day to watch a over the top no sense Ass Katana fighting robot half human half Geisha flick. ROBOGEISHA!the name says it all geeks, what more do you want. From the same team that brought us MACHINE GIRL and the special effects gurus behing TOKYO GORE POLICE comes ROBOGEISHA which from the title looks the best movie you will see in 2010 lol. On May 18, 2010 a friend of mine invited me to see an advance screening of this movie as well as a Q n A from the Director live from Japan from Skype.com. The story is about two sisters, one who is a Geisha and the other who is not,but then a Steel Manufacturing Company man ask the sister to become more then just a Geisha but one of the best world assassins who pretend to be Geisha's in order to take down the evil politicians and evil doers of Japan. The older sister became jealous and ask be part of the organization as well. Since the company deals in steel and robotic technology, both sisters were upgraded to some high tech armor such as katanas coming out of there asses, Cannons and bullets coming out of there chest and hair. This Movie overall is a combination of Power Rangers, Geishas, whole lot of blood mixed in with comedy dipped in acid.....for 10 hours. It's that good. I highly recommend this film if your into this genre or if your not. the ass katana and armpit blades alone make this movie worth the money. After the flick director Noboru Iguchi was live in Tokyo Japan where he answered a few questions as well as showing the audience his own ass. Very funny guy. Well ROBOGEISHA will appear in the NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL 2010 so be sure to check their site for more information.
