Superman The Complete Animated Series

A couple years ago the Batman Beyond The Complete Series Bluray was released. Now it’s time to dawn the red cape as Superman The Complete Animated Series Bluray arrives! Coincidently it has been 25 years since the show came out.

All 54 episodes have been fully remastered.  Color correction, dirt and scratch clean up, and adding a grain reduction was all done to the original 35mm Interpositive sources for your improved viewing pleasure. The audio was retransferred from the original audio masters, and the series is presented in its original aspect ratio (4×3).

Also included are a many featurettes with a new one entitled Superman: Timeless Icon, a video commentary episode and three episodes with audio commentaries by the showrunners.

It’s awesome to be able to have Superman finally join the family of DC 90’s cartoon remasters. You can watch it where ever when ever with its Bluray and Digital Code.

Injustice

Don’t change that input. Injustice the video game is now a DC Animated Movie. If you loved beating up a bunch of DC super heroes in Injustice the game, then this movie is for you.

There are plenty of twists and turns with shocking gory death scenes. All of this is set in motion by Joker tricking Superman. Rightfully so Superman and Batman have opposing views and form their teams.

Special features included are Adventures in Storytelling – Injustice: Crisis and Conflict, and From the DC Vault 2: Bonus Cartoons. With it also arriving on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Code it’s pretty jammed packed with content.

It’s a good start to what could become a series of cameo animated films. Would be great to see more characters like the Mortal Kombat universe or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles swing into the action.

Ghostrunner

Mirror’s Edge showed us you can have a game that lets us live out our parkour fantasies. But what if we wanted to be a parkour ninja? Well Ghostrunner suits just that. Now we’ve got a sword and can jump all around in first person perspective.

There is something about the first person perspective that brings out an intensity that isn’t felt in other ninja games. When the blood flies onto the screen it feels like it’s on you. You’re basically ping ponging at lightning speed from one enemy to the other. Trying to figure out how to master the kill with that new power up you just received. The frenetic insanity is addicting.

With the Xbox Series X and PS5 you’ll get 4K, 120 FPS, Post-Processing HDR, ray tracing fidelity mode, 3D audio, and haptic feedback on DualSense 5 controllers. So obviously it looks great! If you only have the PS4 and Xbox One you will have access to the next-gen versions as well that feature Wave Mode and accessibility-focused Assist Mode.

Night of the Animated Dead

Night of the Animated Dead presents an interesting idea. What if classic live action films were turned into animated films for modern day audiences? Kind of like the reverse of what Disney is doing with its animated films turning them into live action flicks. Retell the same story almost shot for shot.

It’s not a bad idea, but ideally the animation would be on par with the quality of the original film. This is where Night of the Animated Dead doesn’t fully work. I guess you have to like the animation style in order to now like the movie. The animation is similar to the style of the TV show Archer. So if you’re into that show imagine a lot more blood and you’ll like Night of the Animated Dead.

Thankfully the other elements such as story and voice over acting do their job and hold up the film. Night of the Animated Dead is not perfect, but it’s an unique take.

The Bluray does include one special feature called Making of the Animated Dead.

WRC 10

The FIA World Rally Championship is in its 50th season in 2022. So WRC 10 is celebrating by reliving classic moments from 1973 to the present day. 
Some of the historic rallies include Acropolis Rally (Greece) and Rallye Sanremo (Italy). Of course there are over 20 iconic cars from Alpine, Audi, Lancia, Subaru, Ford, Mitsubishi, and Toyota.

Career mode has been updated with a livery editor and the ability to create your own team. You should be able to hear the difference between WRC 10 and other editions as well as the audio design has been reworked.

You can pick up WRC 10 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and on Nintendo Switch.

Hot N Saucy

A lot of us probably don’t pay attention to the ingredients in hot sauce, but if there was a hot sauce that offered fresh ingredients wouldn’t you be interested?

Hot N Saucy is just that. They have a variety of hot sauces, and yes they’re hot. I tried the Beet N Fresno, Garlic N Peperoncini, and Sweet Potato N Habanero.

Beet N Fresno has a smokey taste. Garlic N Peperoncini is a nice verde sauce replacement. Sweet Potato N Habanero has a fun cinnamon taste.

Each have a very unique taste that would be fun to pair with any food that you’re looking to spice up!
