Killzone 2

The 3rd and the immortal piece, Play.

Been nearly a year since I purchased the gaming behemoth PS3. Played through tons o' games yet took me almost a year to meet the game that shines, rocks and bleeds the way this powerhouse promised to provide. Sony Computer Entertainment is really keen on the exclusive titles for the company's console, since Xbox-360 costs much cheaper and their games can be downloaded, PS3 is pushed to bring out its best guns in order to provide challenge with PS3's challenging price tag for both hardware and software. So far the exclusives were all met with critical acclaim and fan praise; the legendary follow up to the Metal Gear Solid series MGS4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Resistance franchise, Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet and Heavenly Sword. All provided great gameplay and some of them were praised as the modern classics of the gaming world and now SCE released the ultimate shooter that may not be the best FPS ever but without doubt the greatest looking game ever; Killzone 2!

Just press START and see for your eyes, this game is gonna convince you to buy a PS3, not because of its perfection, great gaming mechanics or ultimate AI, you're gonna dig it because you're gonna wake up every day just to play one level of it and adore what you're seeing on your HDTV! This is ultimate! 1080i at its best! Huge levels with tremendous action, anything is destructible and yet even the debris, corpses or whatever's left of your enemies look sublime. Gameplay is easy to learn but takes time to perfect, story however is a huge pile of cliché and even the most dramatic moment is presented as if it happens every single day of your life but who cares? Screw the cutscenes for once, the original gameplay looks way better! Single play scenario ain't no brainer and takes a one-night-stand effort for experienced shooters. The real fun is hidden in the multiplayer, Killzone 2 offers the greatest multiplayer experience since Quake 3, and it's not that simple shoot/frag count bash anymore, every member in a group has different roles and they earn points for doing their job, not for headshots. So if u're a medic, put that syringe into good use instead of your gunslinger skills which you probably did not study in the medschool.

There are more upcoming exclusive titles to PS3 but Killzone 2 is without a doubt, one of the stars that's going to shine for a long long time!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Welcome to the step 2, Watch.

Summer blockbusters officially kickstarted with the release of the adamantium skull Wolvie! Marvel's yellow spandex bad boy's been slashing & smashing onscreen since the release of the original X-Men movie back in 2000, now after three movies, seven video games and nine years later Wolvie's got his own title movie. Thanks to the billion $ hit franchise, Hugh Jackman is an international star now, too bad he starred in one of the most underestimated movies of all time, Aronofsky's The Fountain.

Back to the claws now.

Fox Entertainment. They deserve a full line of their own, if you've seen any of their onscreen adaptations before you'll give them the credit for being the pioneers of crappy adaptations! Guess what? Wolvie ain't no exception!

Not only the movie treats the series without respect but also evolves the story line in such a grotesque way that one can't help but wonder if the original characters were not mutated enough!!!

Shallow characters, editing failure and tons of other goofs await who dare to face Wolverine on a one-on-one bar brawl.

The movie is so crappy that the only decent performance, Liev Schreiber's Sabretooth, is just wasted, it was really thoughtful of Fox guys to produce a PG-13 movie for the sushi-chop-chop-squad! The only real blood that we see in the movie turns out to be fake -I'm serious-!!!

And they even sabotaged the billions worth of Weapon X project with a single bullet theory!

See it for yourself if you like but I'd wait for the DVD instead, it's only rental good.

Now for last and the least; Deadpool ain't no Sponge Bob Square Pants, you can't pimp him with adamantium claws and ruby contact lasers!!!

Lame...

The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below

And this is the very first posting on the Rock part of RockWatchPlay. A very recently released metalcore gem by the acclaimed rockers from Dayton, Ohio. The Devil Wears Prada are back with a smashing new record! If you haven't heared about these guys yet check their MySpace page first www.myspace.com/tdwp, even the eerie artwork of the album gives away the chaotic and in-your-face performance of their songs.

This is their third studio offering as a band and yet it's another milestone that's gonna pave the way to success for the guys. If you're used to safe waters as a listener be cautious about your first time swimming in their Prada ocean, this is gonna be a rough ride but if you stay long enough to survive the crash, you'll be up for a great artistic treat! This album is gonna rip your face off and sew it back on during its 40 minute run, and as it grows on you it'll go for the limbs until it makes you a fan! If you own a copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour then you can download a brand new tDWP song titled "Dez Moines" and rock on it at home as well! Metalcore is alive and well, and the devil actually does wear Prada!!!

First is First!

Howdy!

This is the brand new multi-platform hobby groove portal hosted by E.T.!!!
Too fancy of an introduction I guess...

Don't be shy!
Really...

Jump in, I'll post the first samples so that you can see what Rock, Watch and Play means...

Enjoy!
