A Spore Nerd Corner

With the release of the first Star  Trek movie by J.J. Abrams the bar for any other Star Trek movie was set high and the real question was would another Star Trek movie live up  to what we have come to expect from them. The answer, yes! This Star Trek movie was amazing. The visual effects were topnotch, they left my jaw dropped from beginning to end. The story not only kept my attention but left me on the edge of the seat the entire movie and when it was all done the only thing I could think was I have to go see this again.  It had  great twists and turns that left you wondering what is going to happen  next. But the movie wasn't all heart stopping action. It had humorous moments to help lighten the mood of the movie. This has to be my favorite Star Trek movie so far. Everybody from the super Trekkie to the person that's never seen an episode in their life will get a blast out of it. Go see this movie.

Recently more information has been released about the prequel of Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins. Arkham Origins takes place before the events of Asylum and City, will feature Gotham City before all the super villains and assassins and will show a younger unrefined Batman, still learning the ropes of his new trade. For a teaser trailer you can visit their youtube page by clicking here . A full trailer will be released on May 20th, and the game is set to be released October 25, 2013.

MMM feel the Borderlands tweet of yummyness. On the recent post we get to see Krieg, the upcoming downloadable character, and get the official release date, May 14. If you would like to check it out yourself click here .

So we've all heard all the reviews about how the new mmo 3rd person shooter just isn't so great with only a 6 rating on meta critic, but how accurate is that really? Well it couldn't be very much because as of April 2 Defiance has over one million registered players. Other interesting numbers over 500,000,000 hellbugs have been killed, over 50,000,000 miles have been driven, and a million arkfalls have been completed. How's the TV show going? Well it's broken SyFy records with over 2.7 million viewers for the premiere episode. This also makes Defiance the most-watched scripted series debut on SyFy in seven year. So what do I think? I've loved both the series and show so far. Well except the horrible remakes of songs at the end of each show, yuck. But other than that both have been a total blast and I can't wait to see where they all end up.

I was really looking forward to this Iron Man movie. I've always loved the Mandarin as a super villain especially against Iron Man. The ultimate battle of magic and technology, and was any of that in this movie? Nope! They make the Mandarin into some drug addict nitwit. The so called "plot twist" you could see a mile away. To top it all off, Tony Stark doesn't even get to wear his suit for large portions of the movie. He spends most of his time playing MacGyver and getting his backside handed to him. Don't go see this movie! Run from it! Run far, run fast and pray that Marvel doesn't let them screw up the next movie.

So the fourth and final campaign DLC on the season pass is on it's way. Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is due for release on June 25th and will be free for those with the Season Pass, 800 Microsoft Points, or $9.99 for everybody else. Other DLCs that have been released are Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage and Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. Later this year we can also expect to another DLC containing a new playable class Krieg. Krieg is based on the Psycho enemies and should be available sometimes in May for another $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points.
