Media Molecule apologises.. with some more cool stuff!

A bit of a rocky start. We got controversial background music and a faulty server that made some people pretty much pissed off. So what did they do about it?



They got us some new digs! Some are free, some are not. I like the Gorilla costume, pretty menacing. Now, we haven't got the game yet but I can't wait to see the asian server would work out. Maybe we'll get these new costumes too!

Fear Alma Again

Here's another new trailer for F.E.A.R 2 : Project Origin. If you enjoy playing the first F.E.A.R then you will enjoy walking those eerie office corridors again. Would you? Maybe. Hey, cheer up! Older nude Alma is back in the game.



Warning: Of course, again, not for the faint hearted and people who now wish for a Big Bad Wolf to pop out and gobble Little Red Riding Hood.

Dante's Inferno

Ok, you are wondering why this gamer reads poetry. It turns out that I really do love reading classical pieces such as Shakespeare and Homer, but what I really like is hell related poetry. Marlowe's Faustus, Milton's Paradise Lost.. pretty morbid. What I'm most surprised is that EA is considering Dante's Inferno as a game project.



What will the game be like? Will you battle along with Virgil in the Nine Circles of Hell to challenge Satan himself? Die Hard gamers reading this will notice this is not the first Dante Alighieri inspired videogame. What else other than Devil May Cry?

Not that I'm telling you gamers to get off your butt and read a book. I suggest try reading the Divine Comedy for awhile. This epic poem is one of the greatest literary works of all time.

The Beatles videogame developed by Harmonix

More legends in the videogame market. It is confirmed that 45 songs will be in the game but it won't be a Rock Band expansion. Visual imagery will be a big part in the game and if you think it in terms of the Beatles it's defnitely pretty acidic and maybe a bit of Indian charm. News say that it will work on both Rock Band and maybe Guitar Hero hardware.



Ok, I've been really crazy about getting Guitar Hero : Metallica, but I'm also a BIG FAN of the Beatles. How many chances are there in a party when you join your friends to jam on some classics? This game will go Across the Universe!
