Suikoden: Tierkreis Review

Suikoden is the sixth game in the long running Suikoden series (if you don't count the spin off tactic games). This is the first to be featured on the Nintendo DS and i knew i had to have it. This entry in the series departs from many of the stables fans have been so used to. Epic army battles are now replaced by several smaller battles, and duels are no longer a rock paper scissors game. Suikoden has some of the best production values i have seen on a DS game to date. Tons of anime cuts scenes provide style and all major discussions are voiced over making the characters very interesting and long plot devices seem addicting. The game still revolves around building your ultimate castle and recruiting all 108 stars of destiny, yet the story no long involves government and brings up religion for the main conflict. The Order of the one true way want to fuse the twelve universes together and bring about a future less utopia, and you the leader of the rebels fight for the right to choose your own future. One of the games flaws is that its a bit easy, but it makes the game very addicting and the need to grind for levels non existent. I clocked in around 35 hours of game play at the end and still had many stars to recruit and side quests to complete. This game like its elders is kinda hard to find but you may find it for $30 on eBay, but i say its worth a buy to anyone who likes a good RPG.

SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK : Official Trailer -- HD

Movie Review Synecdoche New York

So  as i was browsing my movie collection i thought i would review a drama. Synecdoche New York is a film about a regional theater director struggling romantic relationships, as well as problems of aging, and a mysteriously degenerating medical condition. One day he in is given funding to develop a perfect theatrical work of art. He decides to build a full scale replica of New York City inside an impossibly large warehouse and populating it with thousands of actors. He spends the remainder of his life creating a piece so personal and epic in scope, that the line between reality and art collide, and the world that he created swallows up everything within it. This movie is in my opinion ahead of its time in so many ways, the story is a bit complex so if you intend to get a fully realized story be prepared to watch it a few times. This movie is also very sad and wont leave you feeling like a million bucks, BUT the plot is very interesting and gives you a better understanding a the human being. I would recommend this to anyone thats not having a shitty day so check it out.

Tell me some of your favorite dramas.

Barbarella (1968) Trailer

This Movie is rated PG

BARBARELLA Movie Review

So this week i thought i would dig through my collection and show you guys a cult classic of epic campyness proportions. BARBARELLA, the setting is planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when barbaella makes a forced landing while traveling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots nd monsters. shealso rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure. This movie is one of the most rediculess things i have ever seen, made in 1968 this movie has some of the crazyest depictions of the future i have ever seen EX: space ships have shag carpet all over them. This movie is will no doubt leave you laughing and wanting more, and i would not advise watching it while under the influence it can get pretty crazy. Tell me some cult classics that your a fan of.

Suikoden Video Game review Looking back to the past

As many people know im a huge geek, i love anything movies, games, and comics, so im going to be giving a few reviews on some video games that are mostly overlooked or in some way changed the way I view the world today. The first one is probably my favorite rpg (role playing game) of all time, Suikoden. In a time of war the son of the country's greatest general is assigned to seek an oracle, when his party arrives she tells him hes destined for greatness and will bring the 108 stars of the universe together for the first time. After the empire kills his oldest friend he is set on a path for greatness to lead the rebel forces against the empires corrupt ways. This is a pretty vague outline of the story and its this original story that makes this game a timeless classic. Change in the way you play rpgs forever Suikoden  features included: Recruit a colorful cast of 108 pre-determined characters, each specializing in various aspects of combat or support. So you have 108 characters to choose from in your party of six!, Building an immensely large headquarters that grows as the story progresses, for example if you recruit an inventor you may get a elevator added into your headquarters, and after you collect all 108 recruits it even rivals the bat cave. Take your men to battle in epic land battles(for the time). And Participate in turn based, one-on-one duels for an added dramatic storytelling effect. I just recently downloaded it on my ps3 and played through the main story in a few days and it hold up better than any other rpg in the PS library.. This game is an overlooked classic and anyone with a ps3 should download it immediately if your in anyway shape of form a fan of old school rpgs.

I'm Enjoying A Treat, Derrick!

Princess Mononoke Trailer

One great film

Princess Mononoke has to be one of my all time favorite films, and proves year to year to be a timeless classic. Inflicted with a deadly curse, a young warrior named Ashitaka sets out to find the forest in the west in search of the cure that will save his life. Once there, he becomes in inextricably entangled in a bitter battle that matches the proud clan of humans against the forest's animal gods. I like to believe that this is the story of how many of the mythical creatures died of from legend. The film shows how the greed of humans stole the magic from mother nature, in an epic battle of survival. I remember watching this movie as a kid and not under standing much of anything going on with the plot, but as time goes on the movie started to show more and more value to me as an adult. I would recommend this movie to any of my close friends and encourage any of my readers to at least give it a rent, you will not regret it. Only if you absolutely despise anime with a burning passion will you have a bad experience with this fantastic film. As always check out the trailer and leave some comments on what you think.

Braindead - Big Fat Kill (The Best Bits)

Monster Movie

So since Holloween is getting closer and closer every day im going to be giving some movie reviews, and hope people go check em out.

So the first movie I think is a must for a horror collection would have to be Brain Dead(also known as Dead Alive in north America. Directed by peter Jackson before he became a big shot, Brain Dead is a very standard zombie flick. EX: Dawn of the Dead. The undead invaid a town and survivores must band together to make it out alive.
The reason I hold this movie above any horror movie is becouse to this day there has been no movie to surpass it's gore factor. Even though it's story is no award winner it gets the job done and keeps you entertained throughout. Im going to post a video of a scene from Brain Dead. check it out and tell me what you think of it.

Tokyo Game Show Highlight

I don't know if a lot of you follow the Tokyo game show but you should start because the announcements just keep piling up.Rumors have long swirled throughout the video game industry that a western developer was working on the next installment of Devil May Cry. These rumors were confirmed today at Capcom's Tokyo Game Show press briefing. Developer Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword, Enslaved) is developing the next installment. Many got really exited to see what the new DMC would bring to the table. What we go was a HUGE fanboy riot all across the internet. Many fans of the earlier DMC games think the new Dante is to much of a skinny, punk ass emo kid with a drug problem. Now i can see why a fan would want something they care about to change in the right direction, but most people on the message boards have invalid arguments. What i have seen so far is a Teaser trailor, showing some combat possibility's and animations. I have to agree and say that the new look is for the worst, but there is no reason to start boycotting the game. The new look could just be for a portion of the story and then transition back to the older Dante. I'm going to post the video on my blog tell me what you think. And i strongly advise typing in this trailor on youtube the comments are very amusing.

Rockstar Mayham Fest 2010

Rockstar mayham festival 2010 had a great lineup of bands, some of which i loch and some a hate. But you could not argue the incredible deal, you get twelve bands for a low as ten bucks of lawn tickets. And with Korn and Rob Zombie headlining it was one show i was not going to miss out on. On July 20, me and a few friends rushed through the heat infested parking lots toothe silver star stage to catch one of my favorite metal bands (3 inches of blood) kick off the mayham. The chest thumping metal kept the ground shakinguntil the main stage opened up. Five Finger Death Punchand Lamb of God came and went, but once Rob Zombie steped on stage the huge crowed in the lawn went absolutly crazy! They played most of the same great stuff you would expect from one of there shows, but the combination of pyrotekniks and effects made for one amazing show. As Rob Zombie ended with one of the most face melting guitar solos ive ever heard Korn got ready for one epic ending. Mid way through Korns show it started pouring doen rain, making the whole day headbanging in the heat very rewarding. From the crazy fans,great stunt show, and a great band line up this was one of the best metal shows i have ever been to.
