So You Cooked Up a Story and Dropped the Six of Us in a Meatgrinder?

by Rainier on Sept. 21, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

As mentioned yesterday, we went to the movies to see "Gamer" and "Whiteout," both of which were quite mediocre. "Gamer," which was initially named "Game," was actually filmed a while ago, shortly after Gerard Butler did "300," but it didn't come out until now in order to get the visual effects done properly. The movie was not all that brilliant; while it contains lots of action and heads exploding, I was more surprised by the foul language and major T&A. "Whiteout," with Kate Beckinsale, is a thriller set in Antarctica. It's dominated by loads of snow, and there are a few action scenes in a blizzard, but otherwise, it was rather uneventful and bland.

'Yakuza 3' (PS3) Coming to North America/Europe After All?

by Rainier on Sept. 20, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under News

Yakuza 3 takes a departure from the first two games by moving from the gritty cityscape of Tokyo, to Okinawa, where Kiryu runs a center for orphaned children. The orphanage is on land that is owned by a mob boss who is under pressure from the government to sell the land, making life once again tough for Kiryu. While earlier this week SEGA hinted that it might be bringing Yakuza 3 over to the west after all, sources have indicated that the game is being localized for Europe/North America as we speak. While SEGA is expected to announce Yakuza 4 at the Tokyo Game Show, we can only hope it will also shed some light on the previous title's faith.
