Celebrity Casting: Mike Tyson’s Punchout
July 21, 2008
[ad#ad-1]
I think it’s cool when video games make such an impact that they’re turned into “Blockbuster Movies”. Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil are great examples. Wikipedia has the full list. So i figured, if any video game could be turned into a movie ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!!’ could be it. Without further ado, I present to you the cast of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! starring:
Minor Circuit
Glass Joe … Owen Wilson
We start off with Owen Wilson playing the underrated 1-99 Glass Joe. Sure Glass lost a few, but I’m sure Owen can capture his charismatic timid self as Joe. We’ve never seen Owen as a boxer, but then again he does have a permanent broken nose. An implanted chin clef wouldn’t hurt too.
Von Kaiser… Tom Selleck
Three men and a little lady was pathetic, just as much as Tom’s mustache compared to Kaiser’s. A small applicator of Just for Men, red dye #2, and a little grease to oil up his stache tips might turn his performance into a great German Boxer.
Piston Honda… Jason Scott Lee
After ‘Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story’, Jason Scott Lee can pretty much nail down any Asian Martial Artist. Strap some leather gloves on him and what you see is the ideal Piston Honda. I dare you to find a better match!
Knights of the Old Republic 3 Coming Soon, LucasArts and BioWare working on MMO
July 17, 2008
Well, when we first reported that Knights of the Old Republic 3 was coming, we were right. A report on Portfolio.com has confirmed that LucasArts and BioWare are working together to bring KOTOR 3 as an MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online). In an interview at E3 this week, Electronic Arts chief executive John Riccitiello said that EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it.
All we can say is “It’s about time!”.
We have the interview below:
Andre vs. Hogan, WWE Legends of Wrestlemania Screens
July 17, 2008
Have to admit, after playing Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 I was a little disappointed to find out there weren’t a lot of Legend Wrestlers, so I returned it. I may be old school, but I’m glad THQ came up with this version of WWE’s Legends of Wrestlemania. It’s one to pick up… and keep. Screens alone bring back memories of Wrestlemania III.
Coming in March 2009 to the PS3 and X360.

E3 News: Trailer Trash: God Of War 3
July 15, 2008
“In the end, there will only be chaos”
Strong words from our favorite mythology hero, Kratos! The trailer shows an overhead view of… well, Hell! As you approach closer to the mountain you’ll see Kratos atop, with his chains and blades bounded to his arms. This trailer shows a great in-game video, and was a brief teaser of what we can expect in the upcoming weeks.

[UPDATE] Gears of War 2 - Exclusive Multiplayer Gameplay
July 14, 2008

[Update - Release date confirmed at E3, November 7th]
Gears of War 1 had “meh” multiplayer playability. It looks like they took a page out of Call of Duty 4’s book, because the gameplay resembles a grittier battlefield, with melee attacks that shred your online opponent in half. I’m liking their hostage attack, but I could have sworn I saw the hostage firing back. Check it out and let me know.
