Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie (2010)
Little disappointed
Though I am a huge fan of the 40K game and all spin-off books and such, gotta say this movie really disappointed me. If you have read the books you know there are many very cool story lines to pick from to make excellent movies about! The story here sort of introduces us to the threat of Chaos, the Enemy Within and of course the Inquisition. Stuff that's common to every Warhammer player out there, who are the target audience for this movie. I for one don't need such an introduction, and people unfamiliar with Warhammer would rather see an introduction to the 40K world, such as how did this war start, what happened to us Oomans, what makes Chaos tick, we want to see Horus battle the Emperor himself! And why is the space frigate not designed in the typical Battlefleet Gothic style? I expected to see a Dawn of War style scenery, which caught the game perfectly in CGI. For a lower budget movie it is animated beyond expectation however, they did get the atmosphere right and it does breathe 40K well. Long live Heavy Weapons! It's just soooo slow, too many long scenes where our squad is just walking, waiting and walking a lot more. Final verdict 6 out of 10, graphics good, story bad. If the story was better and the graphics worse I would have rated higher!
Brütal Legend (2009)
Awesomest game I ever played!
If you're into Metal you must play this game! Even more so if you like hack n slash, free roaming and Jack Black's typical sense of humour. I just got lost in the beautifully crafted world of Bladehenge, and fell in love with all the characters and vehicles. Great selection in music, the combat system works excellent, fun side missions, epic movie-like storyline and a well-chosen breathable atmosphere. It's total fantasy clad in a brilliantly exaggerated heavy metal theme, but you buy it the minute you see it. In one word: Awesome! Too bad the game ended earlier than I expected though, leaving me praying for a sequel!
Anyone know where I can order a Druid Plough hotrod?
