I found this video by accident while looking for a video of the Leaves’ Eyes song “Mourning Tree” to share on a forum.
This is one of my favorite songs, and I have always been surprised that more videos haven’t been made using it. I would love to see a Richard/Kahlan video, or a Daniel/Sha’re video.
This one on Sephiroth and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII is an interesting way to frame the story from Advent’s Children. After all it really is their story isn’t it.

I loved Mass Effect with a fever I haven’t felt for many games. The above trailer for Mass Effect 2 sent chills through me and my mind is already racing. I have to know what happens to Commander Shepard.
BioWare’s community coordinator Chris Priestly added the most curious hint about the new game:
“This is just your first taste of Mass Effect2. We are not yet discussing the details of the game… However… don’t delete your Mass Effect 1 saves yet (Video Gamer).”
I assume that means we will be able to pick up where we left off, or maybe they are going to take into effect the choices we made in Mass Effect to establish how the characters react to the players. I cannot wait to play.

Even though Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a few years old, I keep coming back to play it. I love the wide variety of game play you can have. From sandbox mode where you can do whatever you like and have as much money as you need, to career mode where you have tasks you must complete. This game is hours of fun.
I’ve always been impressed with this company’s attention to detail when it comes to theme rides and decor. Even with the first edition of RT, they gave you the opportunity to pimp out your park with horror-themed shops and scenery.
A new thing with this version is that you can make your janitorial staff match your theme. We used to be able to change the color of their outfits, but now you can make your janitors wear western or skeleton overalls.
They must have had real horror fans creating this version because the visuals leave no spooky stone unturned. From the Blood Shake Booth to the pumpkin head entertainers, these visuals are horrorfying.
They have options for you Sci Fi fans too. Including a steampunk-like planetarium, robots, spaceships, and even an alien entertainer. 
For those of you who tend to migrate towards water parks, they have a massive pool complex library that you can create large pool complexes with including diving boards, hot tubs, showers, slides, lifeguards, and wave pools. Once you build one of these puppies, the customers flock to your park in droves. The walkways and ride add-ons are slightly difficult to maneuver at first, but once you discover you can make multi-level pools and large sunbathing areas, you’ll be hooked! Don’t forget to put an Inflatable Stall just outside the changing rooms so that your people can ride around the pool on alligators, dolphins, and turtles. The way these two separate items work together is just one of the ways this version is more “real”.
They did not leave you country folk out. There are dozens of western rides and attractions including animatronic cowboys, Indians, and banditos. If you set them up properly, they will have a shoot out across the paths.
There are only a couple of technical issues with this game. The first is when it becomes nighttime. For some reason the game will slow up. It seems to get worse if you have a lot of lamps installed. The second is when you get over 3000 people in your park and build a lot of intricate rides over a large space. Considering how graphics intensive this game is, it’s not hard to imagine why. With so much activity, the computer has difficulty keeping up. I’ve enjoyed this game on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista and these are the only two bugs I’ve found.
This game is by Atari and is rated E for everyone, so gather the family and spend a night creating your dream theme park. But I warn you… this game is highly addictive.

If the video of Star Wars Battlefront 3 gameplay footage or Dark Obi-wan concept art made you drool over the prospect of playing the game from bankrupt Free Radical, then there may be some good news:
Free Radical Design has found financial sanctuary in German developer Crytek, who is reported to have purchased the struggling Nottingham, UK dev for an undisclosed amount (Kotaku via Gay Gamer).
What this means for the future of Battlefront 3 in unclear, but its chances for release have gotten better.

No Angelina Jollie will not be in the new Tomb Raider movie, along with possibily Lara Croft:
Lin will produce the project via his Lin Pictures banner while Stephen Gilchrist will co-produce; Ian Livingstone of Eidos will exec produce. Matt Reilly is overseeing for Warners. Lin is the producer behind Warners’ upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed update of “Sherlock Holmes” and the adventure film “Jonny Quest.”
The new project, however, is expected to revamp the character and her mission and bear little resemblance to the original pictures. It will reimagine the origins of the character, her love interest and the main villain (Hollywood Reporter).
I find it interesting that all of my spell checkers mark the word reimagined as a misspelling because it is not a word. Well it is a new word. I much preferr the idea of imagining a good story, but I am sure that is too much to ask from the studios in Hollywood.
I will keep an eye on this production, but it is already on shaky ground.

Let us all collectively use the force to mind trick some game company into buying Free radical, because if the gameplay video wasn’t enough to make you want to play Star Wars: Battlefront 3, this concept art of a Sith Obi-wan should be!

I really want to see Battlefront 3 hit the shelves, and after watching this footage which promises the game for the XBox 360, PS3, and PC, I want to play it all the more.
But there is one tiny hitch in the plan… Free Radical, the company making this game, is on the auction block. Hopefully, someone will buy up Free Radical, or at least the code and developers for this game. If not, this may be the best Star Wars game you never play.

The video game Batman: Arkham Asylum will have Mark Hamil as the voice of The Joker. I’m so excited about this news. Mark Hamil’s Joker is one of the best jokers ever!!!
Mark Hamil was the Joker in the 1990’s Batman – The Animated Series television show. I wonder if they will put in Harley Quinn too. With his contribution this game will rock even more!!!!

It will be released on the x-box 360, PLAYSTATION 3, and Windows Vista / XP.
You can preorder your copy here!

Auron is one of the most interesting character in Final Fantasy X. His sinister attitude and life of secrets added so much to the game.
This wonderful costume from Otakon replicates the look fairly well.
I especially love the sword. I have collected many blades in my life, but the one thing that has always been missing from my collect are some life-sized Final Fantasy blades.
Perhaps, one of these days when I have the house of my dreams, I will have a salon or lounge filled with the art of people like Alex CF and a nice set of fantasy weapons. Or maybe I will just start a chain of fantasy themed mead halls from people like to enjoy a drink and some geeky conversation.
