A Spore Nerd Corner

I've only just beat Batman: Arkham City, I know, I'm super behind but slowly catching up next on the list of things to beat is Origins. But more importantly the first video of Batman: Arkham Knight has been released. That's right get the dance of endless glee out of your system. The video shows now just in game videos but supposedly actual game play. I wont tell you exactly what's in it, no spoilers, I'll let you watch and enjoy it yourself by clicking here , enjoy.

The makers of one of my favorite games ever, Bastion, has released a new game, Transistor.  Transistor is a mixture of an action game and an RPG with a little bit of a strategy game mixed into the combat system. The game has a beautiful art style all in 1080p resolution, not  to mention an amazing soundtrack. I rarely notice sound tracks but this one really stuck with me, if you want to check it out you can for free on Spotify.  Transistor also offers Steam Achievements for those of us that picked it up on Steam, Steam Trading cards and full controller support. If you're looking for a new indie game to pick up this is well worth the twenty dollar price tag, go download it now.

After seeing this movie you remember why Godzilla is king of the monsters.  The entire movie reminded me of the original Godzilla movies with super new graphics.  While you don't get the chance to see Godzilla until about half way threw the movie, you wont be disappointed with the two other monsters we get to see rain havoc across the world, and then... Oh man and then, the classic, epic fight between the monsters to the death. This movie is so much fun, it just flew by. I hope this brings more classic monster movies to the theater.  I can't wait to be able to pick it up on blu-ray.  Even with all the movies that are coming to the theater this one is a must see.

That's right lock, load, and prepare for another Far Cry adventure with Far Cry 4. Ubisoft has officially announced the release of Far Cry 4 for all major systems, current and last-gen, and the PC. So far the release date is this year November 18 here in the U.S. This iteration of the Far Cry series will take us to Kyrat, in a place that is being ruled by some self-appointed king. Just like Far Cry 3 we wont just have to deal with the evil locals, but the environment around us. We are supposed to get a really good first for this game at Ubisoft's E3 briefing. All I can say is I hope this Far Cry is as addictive as the last. For the official page telling more about the release you can go  here .

I was really looking forward to tonight episode of The Simpsons. I mean you can't get better than putting two classics together like The Simpsons and Lego. Well usually I would have thought that you can't get better but they really managed to mess this one up. Usually I love the voice acting from The Simpsons but for  some reason tonight it felt forced, like they didn't have any feeling. I don't know how adding Lego to the show would change voice acting of a show that has been around as long as The Simpsons but hey, their you go. The animation in this episode was terrible. With all the Lego work being done, between the games, the movies, and the millions of shorts all over the place, to mess up the animation, making it so choppy, is just wrong and really can't be ignored. For a 550 special episode I'm really disappointing, and hope that when The Simpsons get to episode 600 they actually do it right.

Well that was another two hours of my life that I can't get back. Spider-Man 2 was so boring. You would think that with three, yes THREE villains their could have been some action, but for an action movie not very much happens. Really we only get about a half an hour of super hero action and the rest of the movie is I love you but I can't have you, or can I? No I can't, yes I can.... back and forth and back and forth until you want everybody to just get zapped. OK I know, even in the comics the romances of Spider-Man play a big part of the story but when you only have a couple of hours to tell a story it's important to get into the story, move things along and not dwell on things. Another problem with the movie is they tried to introduce to many characters all together. Three villains, all with minimal screen time. The whole movie felt more like they were setting up for their next movie rather than telling us a story.  While other Marvel movies, Iron Man, Thor, did a ...

It hurts me when some thing that I loved so much when I was little is destroyed so easily and that's just what Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows does. The entire time you play the game you feel like you're fighting, but not Foot ninja, or Mousers.  No you're fighting the controls, the camera, the the urge to harm yourself from the poor voice acting and terrible "comic strip" cut scenes. The controls never seem to work when you really need them to. You spend your time building up a combo to let loose some sort of super move, the only problem is I find my self jamming on the controls to get the super move to work in which time I'm getting my shell pounded in by the surrounding enemies.  The camera seems to always be spinning around and around and while I can move it where I want it with the right stick, right after it will go off on it's own again. Usually I can get over a camera that's a little wild but this time it's so bad I jus...
