Delayed Gaming Response – Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

enslaved-ottw coverWith all of the big name games stealing the public’s attention last year, from Mass Effect 2 to Red Dead Redemption to Call of Duty: Black Ops, it’s understandable that some pretty amazing games didn’t get the recognition they deserved on the grand scale.  For me, the most overlooked would be Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

Suggestion Box (Sept. 13 – 19)

This week for movie trailers we’ve got The Dilemma, a second trailer for Due Date, The Fighter, and Unstoppable, whereas for gaming we’ve got videos for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, The Last Guardian, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

Movies:

The Dilemma Trailer – A film about one of the trickiest questions ever: whether or not to tell a best friend if their significant other is cheating on them.  Something tells me that it is going to be a much more entertaining experience when Vince Vaughn and Kevin James are involved.

Suggestion Box (Sept. 6 – 12)

This week’s Suggestion Box contains trailers for the movies Hereafter and Priest, my brief writeup for some of the premiered shows this fall, and then videos for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and Portal 2 in games.

Movies:

Hereafter Trailer - The newest film paring Clint Eastwood as director and Matt Damon has Damon cast as a genuine psychic who has trouble living with his ability connected to the afterlife, interweaving stories of those who come into contact with him, bringing questions of their own about what lies ahead due to personal experiences.  Not to put too much into the trailer, but the brief clips alone of the acting shows a glimmer of the performances ahead, which will hopefully live up to what comes in the film.

Suggestion Box (Aug. 9 – 15)

Hey guys, so I thought you would probably appreciate me being less lazy by posting the actual videos here through a strenuous copy/paste process (sarcasm applied) instead of just posting links to those sites.  Hope this works better for you.

Movies:

How Do You Know Trailer – A love triangle between Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.  Decisions, decisions…

Suggestion Box (July 19 – Aug. 8)

With Comic-Con and a brief excursion to my old college town I have been taking my good ol’ time collecting stuff to pass on from the past few weeks.  With that said the list isn’t actually too intense, so have no fear and get right to it!

Movies:

It’s Kind of a Funny Story Trailer – A comedy putting Zach Galifianakis in the psychiatric ward of a hospital, where he becomes a buddy with a younger boy who has voluntarily admitted himself.  Check it out here.

Monsters Teaser Trailer – A creature feature about two people trying to find safety by going through the infected zone in Mexico, an area that has been quarantined off because of new life forms that have been appearing ever since a space probe crashed 6 years ago in that area.  Check out the creepy trailer here.

Suggestion Box – Special E3 Edition

If you aren’t a nerd then you probably had no idea that a major gaming and electronic convention was going on during the beginning of this week.  Then again, you probably aren’t reading this post either because of that same reason… Hm… Well then, since no introductions are in order, let me just dive right in.

This year’s main events at E3 can be more or less summed up by what the three big hitters (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo) had to show off at their conferences.  To sum up, everyone thinks they are the best in the biz, the one to do it first, the one to bring the best and newest technology to the masses… Blah blah blah.  Tooting their horns aside, all three can be summed up as follows: motion controls, exercise, sports, 3D, and a new 250 gb XBOX 360 (I write that last bit glaring at the 360 I have now, which is the result of 3 separate red ring incidents).  Now you know everything you need to! …  Just kidding.  Well, partially.  If you want to get a full break down of the press conferences of the big three then be sure to check out Zac’s write up here.  As for me, well, I am all about the gaming aspect of the show.  Which brings about this glorified Suggestion Box.  Here is what I was excited by:

Suggestion Box (May 10 – 16)

Movies:

Adjustment Bureau Trailer – Matt Damon and Emily Blunt try to outrun their fate and the men who are responsible for making sure they don’t succeed at doing so.  Should be interesting.  Check it out here.

Charlie St. Cloud Trailer – A film that tugs at my girlie heartstrings involving Zac Efron as a boy who is afraid of forgetting the ghost of his younger brother by moving on with his life.  Check it out here.

Super 8 Teaser Trailer – J.J. Abrams’ new project is being a little elusive, but it involves the producer credit of Steven Spielberg and what looks to be like more alien activity.  So I am there without question.  As long as it is not a sequel of ET…  Check it out here.
