Continuing our look at the Fall 2011 game release schedule, we move onto the first week of October. We have a “spiritual” sequel, as well as a new IP from a big name company amongst others. Check them out below. October 4th, 2011 Dark Souls Dark Souls is billed as the spiritual successor to “Demon’s Souls”. Basically this means most of the same development team, different backing from a different publisher and multi-platform. The developers … Continue reading
I’ve been waiting for this for quite awhile. Since 97-98 when I bought my first DVD player and in truth as far back as the early 90s when I could find no VHS copy to replace my taped off the television version. Some of this is ground I’ve already covered in previous Treasure Island posts. The wonderful extended cast which includes Oliver Reed as Billy Bones, Christopher Lee as Blind Pew, Christian Bale as Jim … Continue reading
The Uncharted 3 trophy list has been released. It doesn’t appear to contain any spoilers, so no worries. Looks like the standard style for the previous Uncharted games, some based on specific weapon kills, others based on amount of treasure found, some hand-to-hand combat for good measure plus fun trophies and specific actions. I went back and platinumed the first two games and I am pondering playing this one on Crushing from the start. It … Continue reading
DeepDiscount.com spawned out of what was formerly deepdiscountdvd.com. It now encompasses, DVDs, Blu-rays, CDS, Vinyl, Video Games, Books and more all from the same site. I was just browsing their site by chance today (it’s a good way to figure out what the lowest price-point on the market is for a lot of blu-rays), and spotted their Video Game Soundtrack Sale. Early on I developed a love for film scores, becoming enamored with film score … Continue reading
So our show starts with a healthy recap of the previous seasons deeds (and misdeeds), all gearing up towards the deck being stacked against Nucky. We then roll into a montage of good times throughout Atlantic City, the booze and cash are rolling in and Nucky is in the center, carousing with the women, all while poor Ms. Margaret Schroeder waits at home sitting on the edge of an empty bed. We also get a … Continue reading
2011 has been a big year for major game releases. I’ve already felt somewhat overwhelmed trying to keep current on all the latest stuff. Let’s go over a short list of games so far this year.

Noire, Brink, Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, Resistance 3, Gears of War 3… phew! And that’s … Continue reading
I recently began playing Driver San Francisco after receiving it from Gamefly. I hope to have some thoughts on the game shortly in a segment I’m going to call 1 hour impressions. One of the things I have been enjoying most is the music. The Driver San Francisco soundtrack list is an impressive one, featuring funk and soul classic mixed in with grungy and underground electronic music. It provides a nice atmosphere for the game … Continue reading
Batman – Arkham City is one of my most anticipated titles of this year, which is saying a lot. Arkham Asylum was quite the surprise hit, in that it was a comic book property done well in game form. Cash-in comic book games, like most films or book to game properties are usually poor to say the least. Arkham Asylum changed that with a good storyline, excellent graphics and a beautiful, flowing, yet simple to … Continue reading
Gears of War 3 will be released on Sept.30 completing “the trilogy”. Of course with a franchise as big as this, don’t be too surprised if the series continues on. Below is the full Gears of War Soundtrack list composed by Steve Jablonsky. Jablonsky was educated and trained by the Hans Zimmer Borg collective, hence the “Zimmerfied” feel to some of his scores. This track list should be 100% accurate as it was posted on … Continue reading
