Tomb Raider Reboot???

Many months ago we first heard that their was a Tomb Raider reboot in the works and today from About.com comes more details on the reboot. They sat down with the producer Dan Lin who told them;

“We’re rebooting Lara Croft…It’s a great origin story that we’re going to tell, a very character-oriented, I would say more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies…It’s not full-on action. I would say it’s like Terminator, it’s character driven action. For me, the Lara Croft games and movies have gone a little too action-oriented. I wanted to have action, but with character.”

There is no word on whether or not Angelina Jolie will return to reprise her role as Laura Croft. If I had my way I would say Rhona Mitra who got her start as the model for the character would be a great choice but in the past she has said she has no interest in being involved with the film.

If you had your choice who would you like to see play the role?

Shadow of the Colossus' to become a movie

"Shadow of the Colossus" is heading to the big screen.

The colossally popular video game is being developed as a feature by producer Kevin Misher, who has set the project up at Sony; the studio's sister division Sony Computer Entertainment is behind the video game.

Justin Marks, the go-to young scribe who's writing "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" for McG at Disney, is attached to pen the script.

Colossus, which was developed for the PlayStation 2, was released in the U.S. in 2005. It quickly became a huge hit as well as a critical favorite.

The game centers on the character Wander, who along with his horse Agro travels across a Western-style landscape to defeat enemies known as Collosi, with Wander's larger aim to save the girl Mono.

Unlike many other games, Colossus is dominated by a minimalist landscape and lacks ensemble characters; instead, the challenge lies in locating the remote Colossi and uncovering their weaknesses through a series of puzzle-like challenges. Its scenes as well as its soundtrack are regarded by many as highly cinematic.

Romantic elements also pervade the environment, as does a surprise ending to rival some of the better big screen whodunits. Guillermo del Toro has been among those who've called the game the Citizen Kane of the medium.

CoVideo games have been a hot commodity recently in Hollywood development circles, with titles like "Max Payne" and "BioShock" attracting top level talent, though their boxoffice track record has been more checkered.

Misher has several movies set to release in the coming months, including the Channing Tatum-Terence Howard street-fighting drama "Fighting" and the Johnny Depp period gang pic "Public Enemies."

The WMA- and Madhouse Entertainment-repped Marks also is attached to pen the comic-book adaptation "Suicide Squad" for Warners, which will be up next for him. He has also come aboard to write other pics based on complex worlds, including the horror-themed comic adaptation "Hack/Slash" for Relativity and a reimagining of 80's fixture He-Man and the Masters of the Universe for Warners and Joel Silver.

Kojima interview translated

The Famitsu article has been translated. Sadly, Kojima doesn’t share much information about his upcoming title. Even when pushed to share some information about his new game, Kojima doesn’t give an inch. The only thing he did confirm was that the game will take place in the Metal Gear Saga.

Amongst the information he did release, Kojima confirmed that the game would be developed by the Metal Gear Sold 4 team and would be targeted for the Japanese audience, and will then see a global release.

Interestingly enough, Kojima never refers to the old man as Big Boss. He goes out of the way to call him the Old Man throughout the interview. We are once again put into limbo about whom the old man may be.

Not Metal Gear Solid but Metal Gear Raiden?

Okay, this story begins very complicated, but nevertheless it always starts to be interesting. Again we just had new hints received on Hideo Kojima's project.In this post you could read in that two new letters are added, the P and R, and suddenly we saw Big Boss along flash. The P and R, which of course 'Project Raiden' stand. The Big Boss hint might mean that we can back in time because the natural father of Solid Snake is.



If we own back in time go and search our archives, we can still remember that Hideo Kojima said that Metal Gear Solid 4 the last part of the series. Or just the last part of Solid Snake in the lead.Right, it just so that the new game from Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Raiden is called. It can also just another franchise, but we would have too far to prejudge the facts. Also just published scans of Famitsu's upcoming release. These scans only strengthen this article, because Raiden is very much in the spotlight.

Love Fist

Love Fist is a Scottish hair metal band featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and referred to in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The band is composed of Jezz Torrent, Willy, Dick, and Percy (all of which are slang terms for the penis). Willy is the only band member that does not accompany the band when they go out into the city since Tommy chauffuers them. Tommy Vercetti performs various tasks for the band in Vice City, such as saving them from a murderous fan out to kill them and attaining their "love juice", which they claim to need before they go on stage. He also brings them Mercedes Cortez to "keep them company".

Love Fist is managed by Kent Paul in 1986 and at the time are on their "Steel Heart Stone Cold Prostate" tour, which, during its stop in Vice City, had security provided by Mitch Baker'sbiker gang. The band is suspected to have broken up at least once in between 1986 and 1998, since there is a billboard visible in "Liberty City Stories" which advertises the band's comeback tour.

During in game dialogue several things are revealed about the band members, lead singer Jezz Torrent appearently used to hump sheep, guitarist Dick is a huge fan of Duran Duran, bassist Percy sleeps with bunny pyjamas and drummer Willy likes to wear women's underwear.
