Ant’s Rant: BUYER BEWARE! Crackdown 2 DLC

by Ant on Sep.02, 2010, under General Gaming News, Video Games

Today, my nephew down­loaded the Toy Box Mode Free Pre­view while I was at work. He said it was awe­some and he was play­ing it for a few hours today. I got home from work and bought the full ver­sion of the DLC. After the down­load fin­ished, I launched the game and tried to start a Keys to the City match. Lo and behold, dur­ing the load­ing screen, the entire con­sole freezes. Even load­ing a nor­mal, Main Game, it freezes dur­ing load­ing. I can’t even get into the game in any way. My good buddy Slick paid and down­loaded it and is hav­ing the same issue.

The only way to fix it and make the game playable again is to go into your Mem­ory Set­tings and delete the Toy Box mode under Game Files. Now the Main Game loads up fine, but I don’t have the DLC. What I’m hop­ing for is an update patch to make the game playable again. What I’m afraid of is that it’s some­how an issue with older Xbox 360’s and that it was for some rea­son designed only for the new Xbox 360 Slims. That doesn’t make too much sense to me, but it’s a pos­si­bil­ity. Another con­cern that has been brought to my atten­tion by Slick is that the Ruf­fian Games web site is down, coincidentally.

Just be warned, do NOT pay for and down­load the DLC pack. Play the free pre­view ver­sion until a patch is released. When one is released, I will update with a noti­fi­ca­tion. Here’s hop­ing for an announce­ment of an upcom­ing patch.

1st Impression: The Town

The Town Poster

When I first heard about this movie I said to myself “another Bah-ston crime flick” try­ing to cap­ture the magic of the Departed. But after see­ing this trailer I feel this movie has the star power to stand on its own two feet. It feels less like the Departed and more like Heat. Jon Hamm and Ben Affleck have the poten­tial to make this movie bad ass.  Have a look at the trailer and decide for yourselves

Ant’s Rant: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

by Ant on Aug.31, 2010, under Video Game Reviews, Video Games

Scott Pil­grim is a 6-part graphic novel series that recently con­cluded with the release of the live action film adap­ta­tion and a comic tie-in game. The final vol­ume of the novel series released at the end of July of 2010 while the movie was released in the mid­dle and the game at the end of August (The Playsta­tion 3 ver­sion released first in the mid­dle of the month while the Xbox 360 ver­sion released towards the end). This is a down­load­able game that only costs $10 (or 800 Microsoft Points). This is a great value con­sid­er­ing most down­load­able games release at $15 (1200MSP) or more. Is it so cheap because it’s only worth some pocket scratch, or is it actu­ally a very good deal wor­thy of the price? Read on to find out. (con­tinue reading…)

Slick’s Nit-Picks: Piranha 3D

by Handel on Aug.25, 2010, under Movie Reviews, Movies

Piranha-3D-Poster

Before I really get into this review I have to let off some steam. Noth­ing against this movie at all really but it’s a shame that films like this can do well while really good ones like Scott Pil­grim are on life sup­port, in terms of box office num­bers. That is an argu­ment for a dif­fer­ent arti­cle but I had to put it out there. The other thing is that if you needed any fur­ther proof that 3D is absolutely unnec­es­sary and a waste of a gim­mick then you really need to see this movie. When the high­light of your 3D effects is a dig­i­tally ren­dered, dis­mem­bered penis being torn apart, eaten and burped up to float out at the audi­ence, well…that one pretty much speaks for itself, doesn’t it?

Can it be? A hor­ror movie that is rated-R and seems inter­est­ing. We might have a win­ner a folks with the excep­tion of the damn 3-D

1st Impression: Case 39

I am not one to watch flicks with Renee Zell­weger sim­ply because I think she sucks. In my opin­ion her best role was in Jerry McGuire, but it seems that she is shed­ding the rom-com image and try­ing out new projects. I was pleas­antly sur­prised at how the plot unfolded in this trailer and it actu­ally suc­ceeded in gain­ing my atten­tion. Now as long as we get no Hugh Grant cameos we should be all good.

by Andrea on Aug.24, 2010, under TV, TV News

Are you tired of the sum­mer reruns of every­thing? Me too! Ready to plop your behind on your couch instead of lay­ing on the beach? Me too! Wait a minute, on sec­ond thought…

Well either way, luck­ily, I have the scoop on when our favorite time-wasting, bore­dom bust­ing favorites will be back on the tube.  Get out the Dor­ti­tos, your Snug­gie and fuzzy slip­pers folks — and don’t for­get to make sure your DVR is ready either!

Slick’s Quick Hits: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (GC 2010)

by Handel on Aug.18, 2010, under Video Game Trailers, Video Games

Clearly an alter­nate for the amaz­ing chap­ter of the game, this makes me won­der how many other alter­nates will be avail­able and gets me all drooly like Venom on a good day.
