What about EVIL DEAD: A Fistful of Boomstick and EVIL DEAD: Regeneration? Two very great games of which I own on XBOX but play on my 360. I've played alot of Regeneration, barely purchased AFoB, have the EVIL DEAD: Ultimate Edition 3-Disc and Army of Darkness MGM Region 3 NTSC DVD. I'm only missing EVIL DEAD II: Dead by Dawn, baby.

 

You know, until now, I have only heard negative things about those two games. I am always drawn to them when seeing them on the shelf at Gamespot, but the words of my friends telling me how much they suck echo in my head turning me away from them. Checking online reviews, seems most reviews were not pleased either. I still think I might check them out sometime. So they are both backwards compatible on the 360 then, right?

Gryphon, you know you can pick up copies of Dead by Dawn pretty cheap these days? I saw a used copy for just $8 the other day. If you don't have any decent used DVD stores in your area, I am sure ebay, amazon, or your prefered online vendor of first and second hand goods carries it at a reasonable price. Seem a shame to leave the collection incomplete. ;) Personally, I still feel Dead by Dawn is by far the best of the series.

 

@Dayv, alright! Sounds like you and I are on the same page with this one. I really hope this gets made.

I know C3. I was debating on getting the Blu-ray, which I've read has some DNR or the Book of the Dead Edition of it. Only thing about the latter I'm most likely not going to like is maybe the smell of the material Anchor Bay used.

Both of the games are BC on the 360 but I've played far more of Regeneration. It's an "alternate" Evil Dead III as if Ash didn't get sucked into the portal thing at the end of II/beginning of 3. Regeneration is currently the last EVIL DEAD vidya game made so far so I figured I'd pick up the precursor, A Fistful of Boomstick. I haven't even played it yet. Weird thing though, I have to turn up my receivers volume a bit since I think the sound level is a bit low for Regeneration on my 360 via digital optical audio.

Anyone play X-Men Origins: Wolverine The Uncaged Edition yet?

Now this game is damn cool,lots of neat moves and full of non stop action.

 

Whoa! You weren't lying! This game is a pretty fun little button masher. I just played the demo, I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The M rating is great too. I am so used X-Men being a PG-13 sort of thing, it was kind of cool to see Wolverine with incredible amounts of blood dripping off his claws. Gives it a much darker and more realistic tone.

 

Realistic since it's a ficticious comic book character which is featured in a film? LOL okay.

I submit to you that they are nether reductive or stupid. I enjoy them.

You may enjoy them, but that doesn't mean they're not reductive and stupid. There's so much stupid shit in the EU that really brings the SW universe down.

 

 

Like the Cheese Mines on Baldersnach or the restaurant on Hoth no one goes to?

I too liked Pike. I thought in The Cage after reminiscing on it, Ray Liotta looks alot like Jeffrey Hunter. Been a long time since I've watched The Menagerie two-parter though.

I'm still wondering if the Enterprise crew will still meet/encounter the following in this Alternate Reality:

Khan Noonien Singh; V'Ger; Whale probe; The Borg; Klingons; etc.

I watched this yesterday and had fun. The music didn't feel "Trekkie" though especially with the vocalising nonsense. I especially liked the "swirly" transporter effect also.

Can't wait to see a sequel in this new Alternate Reality series. At least we still have all the preceding Star Trek to watch. I take it Star Trek: Enterprise is still valid for this reality? I'm considering it is since Scotty remarked about Admiral Archers beagle in a transporter accident. Nice touch although I doubt it's Porthos.

Bring on the sequel?

You are right,I have the Silver Anniversary Edition form the UK,it has commentary by Mike Hodges and Brian Blessed,a Mike Hodges interview,original Theatrical trailer,photo slideshow,and the first episode from the original 1940 serial.

Nice set this is.

 

I kept that original theatrical trailer on repeat for about 30 minutes! lol And why were Flash Gordon and Co. wearing those Robin Hood-style costumes? Yeah, I own the Silver Anniversary Edition also but I think it's a later run.

 

EDIT: I also own STARMAN (R2 UK) really good commentary from Carpenter and Bridges.

Total Recall 2070 was released in Japan on DVD but it's long long OOP.Is it the Canadian/Showtime versions? I own Machine Dreams on DVD though and have wanted to see the rest of the 22 episodes.

I'm interested in BttF Animated in English. Really it's scheduled to be released i.e. BttF animooted.

I'm only interested in the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures which were from Hanna Barbera i.e. the Movie cast one.

 

Wasn't there a Logan's Run and Westworld TV series?
