Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: More Characters Revealed

As New York Comic Con rolls on, the announcements continue to come in. One of the latest is Marvel’s announcement of two new characters for the hyped Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and both characters are, strangely enough, Capcom fighters. The first is Arthur from the famed Ghost ‘n’ Goblins series, sporting his trademark javelin. He begins each battle wearing his full suit of armor, which can be knocked off with enough hits. It is unclear whether or not the loss of the armor affects his move set or his defensive stats, but if it does it could definitely flesh out the character and make him stand out among the crowd.

Dead Rising 2 PS3 Review

Zombies always find us no matter where we hide. They find us in mansions, malls, our front lawns, Louisiana, in post apocalyptic futures and even WWII. And now they have found us yet again in Dead Rising 2, Capcom’s other zombie franchise. As aging motocross champion Chuck Greene, you must save the last remaining survivors from a zombie onslaught in Nevada, clear your name off a terrorist plot and make sure your daughter Katey takes her medicine all within a few days length.

My Soul to Take Review

Filled with embarrassingly obvious tangents, plot holes, and low quality 3-D effects, Wes Craven’s latest flick, My Soul to Take, is a muddled and terribly paced failure to thrill or even entertain. In fact, it might just be the most poorly crafted film of the year.

X-men Destiny Unveiled

 New York Comic Con is upon us, and we know that can only mean one thing, a slew of announcements. Activision certainly didn’t disappoint, revealing that it will be working with Silicon Knights who are best known for the games Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Details were extremely scarce in the announcem

Buried Review

Buried centers solely, and I mean solely, upon Paul Conroy. He is a trucker working in Iraq who is overtaken, captured, and buried by locals. He awakens to find himself entombed with a phone, lighter, and writing utensil. The next 90 minutes are his frantic attempt at rescue via phone call, after phone call, after phone call. And therein lays the major problem with any single place film — inevitable boredom.

Respawn: X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

When somebody says the word “superhero,” you usually don’t picture Wolverine combing through his inventory and agonizing over how high his defense stat could be.

Yet that’s the picture painted by X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse. You would think the over-the-top antics of comic book superheroes and stat-driven RPG gameplay would be an awkward mash-up, yet X-Men Legends and its successors, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, managed to make that series work for the better part of a decade.

Trailer Tracker: I Am Number Four and more

Where can you see aliens, ninja’s, sorceresses and cowboys all in one place? No it’s not my action figure collection…I don’t have any cowboys. It’s Trailer Tracker, your one stop shop for all the latest clips hitting the web. A slow frame christens the month of October here on Player Affinity, beginning – perhaps ironically – with I Am Number Four, the clip for director Doug Liman’s sci-fi action blockbuster. East meets west in the martial arts western The Warrior’s Way and then Simon Pegg teams with Andy Serkis for a macabre business plan in Burke & Hare. The last new trailer this week is the Shakespearian adaptation The Tempest from visually-dynamic director Julie Taymor following her “Beatles” musical Across the Universe and finally, just one week after the teaser clip for The Coen Brother’s True Grit debuted, we have the riveting theatrical trailer. So grab your lasers, mount your saddle and giddy-up.

DVD/Blu-ray DISCussion (New for 10.5.10)

It is a real fright fest this week, with four of this week’s new releases being horror films and another four re-release wanting to deliver scares. But if horror is not your genre there are family films, historical dramas, crime movies and sci-fi offerings to cater for any taste.

Dexter – My Bad (Season Premiere)

Lock up your daughters and put the kids to bed, because Dexter is back on TV and if previous seasons are anything to go by, there will be plenty of body parts flying about. Last season ended with the death of Dexter’s wife, Rita and was perhaps the most poignant moment experienced by television audiences that year. My Bad portrays the aftermath of Rita’s murder and Dexter’s struggle to come to terms with his feelings or more specifically, whether he has any at all.

Return of the Dapper Men Trailer

Check out the very cool trailer from Archaia Press for their new original graphic novel: The Return of the Dappermen

Imagine a land where Time itself has ceased to exist. Where children have played so long it’s almost become work, machines have worked so long they have begun to play and all the clocks have stopped at the same time. A land that’s about to change when 314 identical-looking dapper men rain down from the sky, bringing time back with them.
