MOTD
"The Eagle" wasn't as epic as we had hoped, since a great part of the movie revolved around two people wandering around and looking for their esteemed emblem. It's still a fairly decent movie, but we had hoped for more large-scale battles. Instead there was a somewhat excessive amount of talking. Who knew?
This week kicks off GDC, which we will be attending, so there should be quite a bit of coverage coming up.
After playing Bulletstorm for a few days, I'm nearing the end, and while I've been enjoying it, I can't say that I would shell out $60 for it. It's quite obvious that People Can Fly, now part of Gears Of War developer Epic, is using the Unreal Engine and got its inspiration from the aforementioned game. There are many similarities, such as the identical firing mechanism, comparable character designs and the same way of jumping over obstacles.

Yesterday, we saw "Unknown," and everybody liked the movie. It was decent, but the plot twist near the end made it good, so if you are on the fence about seeing it, have at it.
In a bit, we're going to see "The Eagle," and while we know it won't be a stellar performance, movies with large-scale battles are always better in the theater. Will report back later tonight...
The open beta still a couple of months away, so if you want a
Mythos closed beta key, the time is now. We only have a handful left.

Happy Friday!
Two days of Microsoft madness are over! We saw lots of good stuff from a variety of publishers/developers for either PC, X360 or XBLA.
Beyond Good & Evil HD looks nice,
Fable III on PC and in 3-D looks amazing,
Halo: Reach Defiant Map Pack was quite fun,
Homefront had me glued to the screen for almost an hour,
Crysis 2 in 3-D was spectacular, and, of course, you've already read
our Gears Of War 3 coverage.
We've got some interviews coming with Epic's Cliff B. as well as Lester "Cole Train" Speight, so keep an eye out for them in the next few days.
Not sure what the plans are for this weekend, but they include watching "Unknown" and "The Eagle."
