Late Night Consoling

39
Man, the videogame movie news never stops it seems. The sad part is that no videogame movie has yet "got it right." I'd say the closest we've come is the original Mortal Kombat; it's not like they've had a lot to work with but they made the best of it. Did anyone else feel violated after watching the Super Mario Bros. flick? Holy crap, talk about missing the mark. Seeing King Koopa portrayed as a human being as opposed to a giant fucking fire-breathing turtle had me so angry. Goombas as shrunken heads in trenchcoats? Oh god, what a horrible, horrible flick. I can't think about it anymore. Microsoft, your crazy demands and "Halo Bible" are our last hope!
  • MGS4 a PS3 Exclusive

    [ps2]

    The eratic and eclectic Hideo Kojima has gone on record as saying Metal Gear Solid 4 will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive.. or at least that's his plan. "Of course we could port it to other consoles, but doing so would require additional staff and research and development costs. If I were to make games for the Xbox 360 or the [Nintendo] Revolution, I'd rather create original titles that match each console's audience, instead of the Metal Gear Solid series." Kojima then again used his dinner analogy concerning the next-gen consoles.

  • DOA Movie Now Shooting

    Tecmo and Constantin Film AG announced that shooting has begun on the Dead or Alive movie. The shooting will take place in various parts of China under the direction of Cory Yeun, whose past films include Romeo Must Die and The Transporter. The director/writer of the Resident Evil films, Paul W.S. Anderson, is on as a producer but don't worry, Uwe Boll is nowhere to be seen. He's off ruining his latest project; a movie based on Postal.

  • More Gems for Sonic's Collection

    It's already awesome enough that a Sonic collection is finally going to include Sonic CD, but now SEGA is packing in another great series along with the upcoming Sonic Gems Collection. All three titles in the Streets of Rage series will be on the disc as well as Bonanza Brothers. Not only that, but SEGA is still planning a surprise or two!

    "MGS3 a PS3 Exclusive"

    You mean MGS4. Wasn't there already a MGS3?

      MGS2 didn't happen. It was all just a weird dream.

      For the last time, the PS3 isn't a gaming console! It's actually a time machine and it will go back in time, kill the PS2 and mate with Kutaragi to become its own father. Then, and only then, will MGS3 become a PS3 exclusive.

        I said the exact thing on the IGN boards. The PS3 fanatics didnt see anything wrong with what he said. It went right over their heads. Im also tired of his food examples.
