Four words:

Shadow of the Colossus.
I suppose it is a tad early to call this one a “classic,” but even someone like Guillermo del Toro felt strongly enough about it to proclaim it a “masterpiece.” It was one of those games that sort of “snuck” into the PS2 library. Most gamers seemed to breeze right by this one, perhaps even lifting it off the shelf and reading its deceptively vague insert. Others may have peered into the shadowy figure on the cover and instantly lost their sanity, screaming obscenities and jumping through one of the massive glass windows at Media Play. The few that actually played it however, found it contained within its shiny disc a hundred Christmas mornings… and I’m talking about the good ones, like the time you peeled open the wrapping paper and found a Sega Saturn PS2.

Video game movies: a subject that every true gamer fears the most. Why is that? Maybe it is because video games are not truly respected as an art form or maybe Hollywood doesn’t really care about the quality of the movie, they just want a franchise to sell tickets. However, today, I present to you, the Top 5 Fan Made Live-Action Trailers. The only criteria for this list was that it was a trailer, so sadly incredible on-line series like “Street Fighter: The Later Years” did not make the list. So without further ado, let’s get started with my number 5 best trailer!

The other day Justin sent me a link, a link that opened up a whole new world of video game adaptations that I never thought of before. We all know how video games have been spun-off into cartoons and movies, as well as books and comics. However, video games are about to step into a whole new field of creative genius… MUSICAL THEATER! Read the rest of this entry »
