Metal Gear Rising: Revengence (PS3) [Review]

mgrr

Yay, it's new Metal Gear time! Metal Gear is one of those series that I hold close to my heart.  For all its hour long (or more) cut-scenes, it's nonsensical plot twists, the game's tendency to explain everything away with nanomachines (the Metal Gear version of "A wizard did it"), and the tendency of the game's bosses to go on hour long pseudo-philosophical rants I honestly can't get enough of it.  Metal Gear Solid sits up there with my other all time favorite games, the Marios and Metroids of the world.  It goes without saying I was pretty excited for a new title (albeit a spin-off) in the series.  Not only a new game mind you, a new game developed by Platinum Games-- one of my all-time favorite devs!-- who brought the world the magnificence that is Bayonetta.  Basically, my expectations were high.

Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie Has a Trailer!

jsbsgcm

Yup, Jay and Silent Bob are getting a animated movie (which there's been murmurs of for some time now) but for the first time ever, we finally get to see a little bit of it!  It was produced by Jason Mewes himself, and directed by Steve Stark, the guy behind the Smodimations series (and possibly Tony Stark's secret brother!?).  Hit the jump to see...and of course I'll throw in my two cents.
