Werewolf The Apocalypse- Earthblood cinematic trailer

Summer is here and what better time for some much needed werewolf mayhem? Seriously, werewolves get the shaft as far as monsters go so I’m ecstatic that they get some alone time to shine here. The concept looks cool and I’m curious what the other creatures shown are. There is plenty of potential here and like many I’m pumped for it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Marvel’s Spider-man: Miles Morales trailer 1

Marvel’s Spider-man (PS4) was one of my favorite games of this current generation and while I’m not familiar too much with the adventures of Miles, I was pumped his Spider-man was going to be in the second game. I can’t wait to see the villain roster for this game because the last game’s was phenomenal (I’m hoping for Sandman, Kraven, and Mysterio myself). So many questions and my mouth is watering as a comic nerd. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Destiny 2 Beyond Light trailer

Destiny 2 and me have a strange relationship. While it’s honestly a fun game, I’m not a MMO guy in nature but I play once in a great while. The cinematic trailer is gorgeous and leaves a lot to imagine what kind of adventure the new expansion will bring. September isn’t far away. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Resident Evil VIII: Village reveal trailer

Hot damn, the timing couldn’t be better for me since I’m digging my teeth into the RE7 Gold Edition at the moment. Honestly, hearing about werewolves, I’m not so pissed now and think they look freaking sweet. The trailer looks gorgeous and I like the vibe between 4 and 7. But whose story will be coming to a close? I’m betting Chris though the woman in the trailer does look a lot like Claire. I’m excited as hell and can’t wait to see what mayhem we get in the village. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Nemesis Distress reveal trailer

No friends, not that Nemesis or Project Nemesis but a new multiplayer horror game derived from the board game ( that I didn’t know existed before working on this little post). As a game, I’m getting a heavy Alien and/or Predator vibe which could be cool. I’m interested to see what they come up with. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Predator

Predator_Movie

There was no time for action and sci-fi movies in the 80’s whether it was Aliens , Robocop , or Terminator the scene was at it’s peak. You can argue which is the best and for me its a close ass tie between Aliens and the original Predator.

Dutch Schaffer is the head of a crew of a special ops rescue team getting reassembled and sent into the jungles of Central America on a mission. Bullets and badassery are on the agenda and delivered as they guerrilla soldiers they came to wipe out have gotten seemingly violent as Dutch and his team find a couple of skinned bodies hanging from trees. The hostages talk of a demon in the trees. Everything seems said and done but members of Dutch’s team are getting picked off one by one by an unseen assailant with some badass tech. Can Dutch and his team survive the mission and face something inhuman?

Predator is a fantastic movie and should be seen by all- yes that’s a short review. You have memorable characters, score, kills, and plenty of badass quotes. The Predator is a Sci-fi action icon and is a great monster. The final battle between Dutch and Predator is one of my all time favorites and the Predator’s dying laugh is truly haunting. The action scenes are powerful and there is plenty of suspense once the Predator enters the scene. In the end, this is an outstanding 80’s action movie I can’t recommend more. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

P.S: R.I.P Little Richard, who’s voice inspired countless artist and set the scene for this badass movie. You will be missed.

 

I, Robot

I robot

I’ll be the first to say I don’t trust machines: Terminator, Ultron, the Working Joes, the Geth, etc. We give machines an obscene amount of control over our lives, and with there capabilities growing and growing, it’s a matter of time before we are castaway like we do the outdated technology we accrue. So, enough of the philosophical and let’s talk about a Will Smith movie.

Del Spooner is a detective in future Chicago where robots live among us, serving and protecting us but never harming us due to the 3 laws governing over them. Spooner doesn’t buy it and hates them. When one of the premiere scientists of U.S Robotics is found dead, Spooner is on the case. The evidence points to a new kind of robot, one with emotions and humanity to it, uninhibited by the 3 rules. Sonny, this special machine, is the culprit but Spooner begins finding a deeper plot as the machines start turning, but no one believes him…

I found myself thinking it was going to be a fluffy action movie but I was genuinely surprised how many questions it asks and how much I got involved in it. The cast is really good but Alan Tudyk steals the show as Sonny, giving a memorable performance as a machine discovering humanity.There is a good mix of high concept sci-fi and action with good effects that have aged but not poorly as to significantly hurt the movie. What I was surprised about were the badass fights and the couple of times I felt the feels hardcore. The pacing of the movie is pretty quick so it’s a easy watch. In the end, I, Robot is a fun watch that is pretty deep and heartfelt that I highly recommend. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
