I was a huge fan of the original Bioshock but I didn't play the second one; it just didn't excite me the way the original did. But this game is made by the designers of the original Bioshock, Ken Levine and his team at Irrational Games, and it look absolutely amazing. Here's an 45 minute interview with the man himself talking about the game:

Bioshock Infinite
I just watched the new gameplay trailer for Bioshock Infinite and let me just say: this is uber-badassery!

Mortal Kombat short film
So I came across this short film based on Mortal Kombat the other day and I just had to post it because it was so badass. Just take a look:
This film was made over the course of two-months by a guy named Kevin Tancharoen who wants to make this into a feature film with himself as director. Here's a link from Kotaku.com with a brief article about him:

I wish this guy all the luck in the world because I think he did an amazing job and I would absolutely go see this movie if he got to make; just to see his take on the various MK characters and story arcs.
Finally, here's the new trailer for the next Mortal Kombat game:

I looks pretty cool; they seem to be going back to 2D and they've clearly brought the fatalities back properly. Ed Boon, the creator of MK, is also back on board as creative director so it definitely has the pedigree to make a great new installment for the series.
I have to admit though: when I first saw the short film I was really hoping that is was a leaked E3 trailer made to show off the new visual style for an MK re-boot, something the series could definitely use. I saw this as being a re-imagining like Twisted Metal: Black, but for Mortal Kombat. Sadly, that wasn't the case but I still have high hopes for the next MK game and I will definitely be keeping my eye on it because these two videos have brought back my interest in the series.

Mass Effect 2-Cinematic Trailer
Hey guys, I've been meaning to post something, so I figured this would do. I thought this trailer was bad-ass and the game is even better. If you haven't checked out Mass Effect 2 I suggest you do so soon, especially if you played through the first one.

Mass Effect 2!
I was a big fan of the first Mass Effect game from Bioware. It had some issues; texture pop-in, slowdown, and some random glitches, but it was a great game. The developers had always talked about Mass Effect being a trilogy so I knew that I'd be able to look forward to what they'd improve in the sequels. And, having seen some of the trailers and gameplay footage for ME2, I can't wait to play this game! Everything from the interface to the story and dialogue just seems ten times tighter and more refined than in the first game. Here's a video showing off the "Adept" class that you can choose from. The Adepts are basically magic users in the world of Mass Effect:
I didn't acctually play as an Adept in the first game. I played as a combination of an Adept and a Soldier, called a Sentinel; but just the way that they've made the powers look more impressive and significant is making me wish I had.
Here's a trailer for one of the party members you can get, Subject Zero, she's definately darker and has a filthier mouth than any of your party members from the first game. However, her attitude fits because they've always talked about this one being the "Dark Second Chapter" in the trilogy.
Long story short, I can't wait for January!

More Great Games!
Wow, I just can not believe how many great games have come out the past few months. I'm still playing Dragon Age: Origins and I know that'll keep me busy for a long time to come. But then there's GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, Uncharted 2, and Modern Warfare 2. Now this week there's Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassain's Creed 2 coming out and every last one of these games have gotten phenominal reviews.
Here's a link to the Left 4 Dead 2 review from Gametrailers.com:
This is definately one of the best holiday seasons for games in years and I can't wait to dig into these titles.

Survival
I survived last week's midterms. Actually, I did really well and am damn proud of the stuff that I came away with. I think I have some potential portfolio pieces and I am very happy about that.
Since I had a few days to breathe, I got down on some Dragon Age: Origins and I don't even know how many hours I've already poured into it. I'm going to be addicted to this one for a while but, after I set it down, I'm going to pick up the Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City disc. It contians both of the GTA IV expansion packs The Lost & the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.I had GTA IV but the disc got ruined the last time my 360 died. I had already finished the game but wasn't able to get The Lost & the Damned expansion when it came out. So I was really happy to hear that they decided to release a seperate disc version of the two expansions so that you don't need the original disc. Check out the GT review for more info:
