Yee haw, I reckon this here trailer for Reckoning looks right purty, I reckon. I reckon you cowpokes outghtta mosey on down to the bottom of this here page and take a gander at the gamplay footage, I reckon. I can’t quite reckon why the game’s called “Reckoning” when there ain’t no cowboys in it, but I Reckon the folks what made it got a good reason, I reckon.
Like the egg of a
three-toed, snabble-de-frax, we have a treat this week, it’s The Lorax. Whether live-action or drawn,
star-studded or not, the works of the good Dr. Seuss are beloved quite a lot. Before
a pirate was he, Johnny Depp lit up television, now Jonah Hill and Channing
Tatum will give a comedic revision.
got, and for yet another remake, I laughed quite a lot. Third (but not last) is
the creepy ParaNorman of stop motion
fame, like Coraline before, kids call
mommy’s name. Last but not least are haunted house thrills by the tonne, The Innkeepers, you see, promises
low-budget fun. When it comes to movie clips, Player Affinity’s no slacker, we’ve
got animation and laughs – it’s Trailer Tracker.
Battlefield has always offered a different twist on what everyone has come to expect from the modern shooter market. Some of the renditions have been reminiscent of an anime or cartoon. Others offer a small, niche free-to-play experience. Yet others have full scale warfare of epic proportions on a battlefield that feel very much like a war-zone. Many who choose Battlefield as their shooter do so because, rather than a small skirmish, you get the feeling that you are in an actual war. Battlefield 3 does not disappoint in this aspect and goes above and beyond the others to deliver the best multi-player in the franchise and raises the bar for what should be expected from a modern shooter.
Battlefield 3 is extremely focused on multi-player, but that is not to say that single player is completely non-existent. The campaign is rather short, but offers a wide variety of action throughout and is certainly enjoyable. You spend the majority of the game moving through cut scenes that are taken from the present and spend the majority of your game replaying the small snippets they discuss as the story progressing, until it comes to the ending that can be seen coming from some way away. The campaign, as it seems with many of the campaigns of modern shooters, is forgettable, but it is not the focus of Battlefield 3, so for what it’s worth the campaign is a solid addition to this immaculate title.
Jonah Hill stars alongside Channing Tatum in this TV series remake/undercover cop comedy about two police officers and former high school friends assigned to be pose as teenagers in order to find the source of a popular new synthetic drug.
The world of video games is full of monstrous creatures – From the mutant Necromorphs of Dead Space to the blocky terrors of Minecraft, right up to the myriad horrors of the Resident Evil games – and as we enter Halloween weekend, it’s worth taking a look at the very best (Or worst) of them.
Think you have HOP potential? Sony thinks you do! Today, the next phase of the Long Live Play campaign rolls out with the Hall of Play. An obvious pun on Hall of Fame, the Hall of Play is an online lounge designed for gamers. Announced on the PlayStation blog by Scott Steinberg, Hall of Play also includes a Facebook app that will enable you to create your own “To Michael!” video that has been well received as Sony’s new ad campaign starts to get under way.
Do you like Japanese games? Desolate, post-apocalyptic cities? Giant, walking tanks? If so, the new trailer for Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour looks
like it might be right up your alley. The game is developed
by FromSoftware, the minds behind the Armoured
Core series and more recently, Demon’s
Souls and its sequel Dark Souls;
both renowned for their difficulty and challenging gameplay.
Margin Call does for business what The Ides of March did for politics. It tells a familiar, high-stakes story about people making difficult and morally-questionable decisions. And like George Clooney’s film from earlier this month, rookie writer/director J.C. Chandor’s film isn’t afraid to get very technical on its viewers. If you’re unfamiliar with some of the basic causes of the financial crisis, you very well might get lost, but this talky thriller is surprisingly tense, features a number of exceptional performances, and is certainly worth 100 minutes of your time.
The film opens on Eric Dale’s (Stanley Tucci) last day on the job at an anonymous (but presumably large) Wall St. financial firm. He’s been laid off, along with dozens of others, and on his way out, he leaves his protégé, Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto), with a memory stick and a message: “Be careful.”
We enjoyed Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet here at Player Affinity; its visual style, familiar-but-challenging gameplay and clever puzzles made it worthy of being one of the games featured in Xbox’s Summer of Arcade. It’s primarily focused on a single-player, but came with a simple co-op multiplayer mode called Lantern Run that had players working to drag a fragile “Lantern” away from an unstoppable wall of death. The new DLC, Shadow Hunters tries to combine elements of both game types into one experience.
Halloween is just
around the corner, so I thought there would be no better way to
prepare for the festivities than by looking back at some of the
scarier moments TV has given us over the years. Whether they were
shocking, frightening, or just all around disturbing, this collection
is the stuff of nightmares. So join me, if you dare, as I journey
into the the more haunting side of television. Someone cue the
maniacal laughter.
There has always been something truly unsettling
about taking the innate innocence of a child and flipping it on its
head. The only thing worse than a monster is a child monster; and
little Anthony Fremont was certainly that. The idea is simple, give
a young boy godlike powers and the malice to use them strictly for
his own enjoyment.
