DVD/Blu-ray DISCussion (New for 11.29.11)

There are a large number of First Releases this week, some of them being very noteworthy and we at Player Affinity have picked the critically acclaimed horror-comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil as our Recommendation of the Week. This week’s releases offer movie fans a wide range of movies and genres, from R-Rated comedies in the form of 30 Minutes or Less and Friends With Benefits, the art-house sci-fi movie Another Earth, Werner Herzog’s 3D documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams and a large number of straight-to-DVD releases.

Xcom developer working on Bioshock Infinite

2K Australia, the developer working on the Xcom reboot, is helping Irrational Games out on Bioshock Infinite. The studio also helped to put the finishing touches on the original Bioshock, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. This puts some perspective on Xcom’s recent delay into fiscal 2012, which runs until March 2013. Bioshock Infinite is a flagpole release for publisher 2K, so it’s likely they’ll want the game polished and finished post-haste.

Hugo Review

Martin Scorsese’s Hugo is a film for cinema lovers (and as such the child in all of us) and an ode to movies of old, as much as it is a warm, Christmastime endeavor that demands a smile and a softened heart.

Trailer Tracker: Brave, Gone and more

Check out this week’s featured clip if you dare – you’ll have to be Brave (and love Pixar). Yes, Pixar’s latest is here, about a warrior-at-heart who just happens to be a woman, but is nevertheless shoved into the role of dutiful daughter in this period spectacle. Amanda Seyfried then may or may not be crazy in Gone, the thriller which finds a woman searching for her kidnapped younger sister who (again) may or may not have been taken by the same man who attacked her years earlier. Next, The Rock goes to a rock in the semi-sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Last off, Woody Harelson is a cop embodying the worst of the worst in the crime thriller Rampart. We watch things gallantly streaming – it’s trailer Tracker.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Review

The best way to define Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is by saying that it is another Assassin’s Creed game.  One of the main questions on everyone’s mind was whether or not the amount of changes from AC2 to AC: Brotherhood would be consistent in the changes made from Brotherhood to Revelations. In both cases, the development time was about a year, but unfortunately, the changes between Brotherhoodand Revelations are not as apparent.  With Brotherhood, the changes that they made were amazing.  Brotherhood was the first game where you could recruit assassins to your cause and use them, either to take out guards or take on missions abroad.  This system worked incredibly well, and the ability to call an assassin to take out an unsuspecting group of guards never got boring.  In addition, the inclusion of a competent multiplayer mode made Brotherhood easily worth the $60 price tag.

Revelations is a
much different case.  While it does
have all of the elements that made Brotherhood
special, the changes that it makes from Brotherhood
seem negligible in comparison. 
The changes that have been made can really be categorized into two
groups: a bomb making element, and an improved templar den capture/defend
mechanic.
