Lord Vader, Transform!

Ever wondered what a Star Wars-Transformers mashup would look like? It will sure as hell look as friggin’ cool as this! What you see above, folks is the Hasbro Star Wars Transformer Deluxe Death Star which you can buy for only $50 at Amazon!

The Vader gadget we see electronic light and sounds, a Darth Vader pilot mini figure, 2 TIE Fighter mini vehicles and 3 Stormtrooper mini figures. The Rebels will not escape this time, since Hasbro hasn’t confirmed whether there will be a convenient hole in the toy to drop that proton torpedo in.

We’ve also laid our eyes on one awesome, but weird Chewbacca-Millenium Falcon Transformer, so you never know what’ll come next. I’d like to see what they do with R2D2 and C3PO. I mean, those are actually robots! Check out the photos below!

James Bond + VGcats = Epic win

What happens when you take James Bond, VGcats style webcomics, sexual Innuendos and slap stick humor? Well if you do simple addition you get a really long name, but you can also get Double Oh. Double Oh is an awesome little webcomic about a Canadian secret agent named Semen… erm, Siemen. His job? Well just about the same as Jame Bond’s, save the world from insane scientific geniuses from ridiculously idiotic plans for world domination. The big difference is that Siemen seems to have a fetish for lasers and doesn’t seem to be as good at his job as Bond is. Bond infiltrates the secret bases without getting caught most of the time, Siemen kills all of the henchmen with his patented Laser Condom. It’s definitely worth a look if you love a good humorous comic, but not so much if you’re a big art snob.

Aliens vs. Predators: Requiem

How is it possible that a sequel is better than the original, especially when that first film should have never been made? Well we’re back for round 2 and it looks absolutely BRUTAL! I still can’t get over watching this trailer. Why was this not the FIRST film? HUMANS dieing everywhere from aliens with the US Government blowing everyone skyhigh. I’m shocked that this trailer makes the movie appear as if it has a chance of being good!

Crysis demo, Halo 3 coming out on the same date. We’re not buying you new pants.

September 25th will be the date when Crysis’ single-player demo will shoot onto the Internet, right by Halo 3 which will make its way to stores. How do you handle the awesome orgasm of FPS action on that day? I suggest you get a work leave, wake up early and keep a level head.

Crysis’ system requirements are still shrouded in mystery, which might bring you some relief to know. Of course, it is known that Crysis will be boasting lots of awesome DirectX 10 effects, so if you’ve got an nVidia 8-series graphic card, you have a reason to happy. Regardless, if your computer cannot handle the demon that is Crysis, you can hug Microsoft’s Halo 3, or come meet me in my lonely corner.

Crysis’ demo will feature the complete first level of the game, and supposedly includes “a huge surprise from Crytek”. And that’s coming from creepy ol’ EA. Thankfully, they’ve given us a new video to ogle over the game’s special little Nanosuit. Man, Nanosuit or SPARTAN armour? I can’t pick one!
