Gray Reviews Infamous 2!

Gray Reviews Ocarina of Time 3D!
The term “remake” is one of both business and pleasure, all but certifying financial gain while simultaneously treading a tight rope between enhancement and sacrilege. Once a game has reached a decade or more in age, modern day opinion seems to agree the title is up for a round two of sorts: shine the paint, replace the engine, fine tune the coding, etc etc etc… But when a game has reached a degree of accolade–some lofty level of worship most developers dream their game one day reaching–it seems as if it also becomes taboo for anyone to even utter the ‘r’ word in regards to these olympian feats of video games. Among the myriad of arguments for and against remaking old games, one of the largest proponents of remaking occurred in my very home. My younger brother, now 16, was only 3 when the Ocarina of Time first debuted. Without the full set of nerd motor skills required to beat Ocarina, he neither finished nor remembered ever playing it. He was soon to become part of the new generation of gamers; not unlike how much of youth today enjoy the new Star Wars trilogy more than the original, they are a culture who have a different rubric for modern entertainment. Upon finishing Ocarina on my 3DS, I finally convinced him to play through it, all the time assuring him it was better than Twilight Princess (the only other Zelda game he had ever completed). It took him just 3 days to complete it–without doing all of the side stories nor collecting all of the heart pieces, of course–and after he was done he doled out the dubious grade of “it was alright. It wasn’t like Assassin’s Creed 2 or anything…”
I’m sorry….come again?

Meet Ori, Dori, and Nori from The Hobbit!
*Now with Oin and Gimli's dad Gloin!
This is the what I have been waiting for!
I can't disagree with Gimili's design, but he was very much the "every-dwarf," in that he embodied much of what we preconceive a Middle Earth dwarf to look like; it was fine for Lord of the Rings , where he essentially was the only dwarf we ever saw save for the prologue and the council of Elrond, so the audience never had a reason to tell him apart from any other Dwarf.
This image (released on the flim's Facebook page) of the brothers, Ori, Nori, and Dori, is exactly what I was hoping for. Be it that there are 13 Dwarves rather than 1 to try and tell the difference between on the fly, this should give you an idea about how different each dwarf could be:

Immortals Trailer!
Hopefully this will be the movie that purges any remaining memories of the crappy Clash of the Titans remake; it's done by the same people who produced 300 (sans Zack Snyder), so expect some gratuitous amounts of hyper-realized Greek Mythology and plenty of eviscerating.
