Iron Man sequel to feature War Machine and Mandarin

To me, Iron Man is the best superhero movie ever. Well, that is because I consider The Dark Knight as a crime drama who happened to feature a guy in a cape. Anyway, Iron Man. It was pretty obvious that it will have a sequel with hints of War Machine and Mandarin shown in the first movie. And yes, fans, we have confirmation that these two will be in the next movie. In a press fest for the upcoming Iron Man DVD, director Jon Favreau...

How Low Can You Go? – the low-down on the LO yaoi con 2008

Last Saturday, yaoi fans flocked to the UP Ikeda Hall/Balay Kalinaw for the annual convention organized by Lights Out ML. I have always planned to go this? event and since Kyam can’t cover this event, I (more than) willingly went in her place and wrote this article. The gates were supposed to open at 1pm but I arrived an hour late. I initially thought they haven’t started the event yet by the length of the line of people...

Heretic and Hexen released as open source

Holy sh*t! The age of open source is nigh. And I just hoped that this was the case years ago. Yeah, so I started my computer gaming career more than a decade ago when the best games were Frogger, and, if you’re lucky, Prince of Persia. Then came Wolfenstein 3D and then Doom. Sometime during that era were spin-offs like Heretic and Hexen. I love revisiting my childhood but getting those games always meant having to resort to some...

GTA: Chinatown Wars coming to the Nintendo DS

I still can’t afford getting an HD monitor and an XBox 360 or a PS3 so as far as any Grand Theft Auto action, the last time I got some was playing San Andreas. Since I opted to get myself a Nintendo DS over a PSP, I wasn’t able to touch the Stories games. But all of that will change soon as they have decided a GTA game exclusive for the DS. Dubbed GTA: Chinatown Wars, the game will be set in Liberty City and would involve...

Maguire, Raimi to be back for Spider-Man 4 (and 5?)

Quite honestly, I don’t quite like Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Sure he was able to pull off that dork-turned-hero role nicely but for the last movie, I was disappointed when he agreed to reprise his role. I think Jake Gyllenhaal would’ve made a better Pete. And oh, Kirsten Dunst. Yelch. But I guess Maguire would be the real-world visage of Spider-Man as he is nearing locking an agreement to reprise the role for the next...

British gymnast is new Lara Croft

Okay, this newsbit is more than half a month old but since I’m a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise, I’m giving it a take. I just hate it when some of these newsbits get past me. Tomb Raider is a twelve year-old franchise and Lara Croft has undergone makeovers complete with fluctuating breast sizes. Many a reason for hot-blooded gaming geeks to rave about the game. As far as real-life people portraying Lara Croft go, it has...
