Players assume the role of Cole Mathis, a naval demolitions specialist who splits his time between ship placement strategies and run n’ gun combat. As the press release notes “Mathis must command the U.S. Navy fleet in a “siege on the sea,” while simultaneously rallying the troops on land for a terrifying “war on the shore.””

Groan.

Here’s a preview vid and some shots from the game. As with any other film based video game, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Battleship, for the Xbox 360 and PS3, arrives in Europe April 2012 and North America, May 2012. Uniquely designed versions for the Nintendo Wii, 3DS and DS will be released at a later date. Battleship opens in theaters May 18, 2012.

The more appropriate term might be “advertainment”. Perhaps the only few hours of the year TV viewers are entertained by the 30 second spots meant to sell them crap they don’t need. It’s a bit shameful, but we’ve done worse. Here’s our pick for the best ads, omitting trailers for upcoming films like The Avengers since these aren’t exactly new or were created specifically for the game.

The Voice – Vocal Combat

I gotta give NBC some credit here. They could have thrown in one of the ads they’ve been airing for the past couple of weeks for their American Idol competition, but instead they filmed an action movie homage complete with Cee Lo Green in a yellow track suit and a surprise Betty White ending.

M&M’s – Just My Shell

How bout a little nudity? It’s male nudity and it’s chocolate, but uh… nah, nevermind. But the ad introduces a new female to the cast of M&M characters with a zinger ending that reveals a side of Red we’ve never before. Maybe that we didn’t wanna see.

Doritos – Sling Baby

With a “Do Not Attempt” warning as big as the the Doritos logo itself, a geriatric and an ankle biter work together to seek revenge on a taunting ten year old. Admit it – you’ve always wanted to pull one of those jumpers back and let go to see what would happen.

Hyundai Veloster – Cheetah

There are more than a few too many car ads that try to compare the power of their engines to some wild animal as it races alongside like a horse, or rhino or whatever, which is how this Hyundai ads starts off. That is until the cheetah comes to his senses, sees live meat and does what wild cats frequently do: maul their owners.

Doritos – Man’s Best Friend

In keeping with the animal theme, Doritos continues their winning game spots with a sinister pooch and his corruptible owner. I imagine a world where one could be bribed with a small bag of chips is better than one where people get paid in gum, so it almost makes sense when a Great Dane offers Doritos to a man in exchange for keeping his mouth shut after his cat’s collar shows up buried in his flower bed.

Cat probably deserved it. Cat’s usually do.

So how does the movie fare? Well, that all depends on how you handle images and reminders of September 11th. For some, it’s still too soon. I once felt that way. When the first films about 9/11 came out, I thought it was in poor taste. But it’s been over ten years since that tragic day, and if you take anything away from this review, please take away this: this movie is not about September 11th. It’s about what happens to a little boy named Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) after his father, Thomas Schell (Tom Hanks) passes away that day. It’s about a mystery the obsessive nine-year-old urgently needs to solve in order to heal his heart. And in a way, it’s about how all the strangers he meets are healed and touched by his spirit.

Here’s the basic plot. While snooping around in his father’s closet, Oskar discovers a key in a tiny envelope marked with the name “Black.” In a desperate move to connect with his deceased father and find meaning in a life he now fears, Oskar turns the mystery of the key into his final “Reconnaissance Mission,” a game he and his dad used to play. Oskar pours through the Yellow Pages and searches for all the people with the last name Black, then organizes and maps out his mission to an obsessive-compulsive tee.

Is this story realistic? Not really. I mean, what inquisitive little boy would actually walk miles upon miles through New York City by himself if he didn’t have to? And what mother in her right mind would allow her little boy to ring the doorbells of strangers without the presence of a legal guardian and a Cub Scouts order form?

But Oskar Schell is no ordinary kid and his mother, played by Sandra Bullock, is also at wit’s end, suffering depression after her husband’s death. Oskar is wise beyond his years; he’s seen and heard things that have turned him into an anxious mess that can’t go anywhere without the tambourine – yes, I mean the musical instrument – that calms him down. But he’s also a self-proclaimed pacifist with his own business card and a mystery he’s absolutely determined to solve, even when it appears that the answer he is looking for will never come.

The high point of this movie is The Renter (Max von Sydow), a stranger that lives in Oskar’s grandmother’s apartment. The old man communicates only through the “yes” and “no” tattooed on his hands and by scribbling a few stray words on a notepad. And yet somehow, he becomes Oskar’s best friend and tags along on his missions. Without speaking, Max von Sydow communicates such genuine sadness and concern for the boy that it brought it tears to my eyes. However, I’m not sure if the tears were 100% von Sydow’s acting, or if it was just the fact that it’s hard not to turn into a blubbering mess when encountered with this beautiful story.

All this being said, there’s no real need to run out and see Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close at the theatre. It’s not visually stunning and it’s a definite tear-jerker that may prove just a tad lacking for those who have not read the book. So my advice is read the book. If you really feel you’ve got to see these characters in the flesh, then Netflix it in a few month’s time. But in my opinion, the depth of the book, and especially the idiosyncrasies in Oskar’s character, will touch you much more within the pages of the novel.

This brand new short is a music filled escapade that goes from a night at the theater to duck season when Elmer gives chase to Daffy as the little black duck evades the hunter in his own inimitable fashion.

Daffy’s Rhapsody will debut in theatres nationwide on February 10, 2012, attached to Journey 2: The Mysterious Island from New Line and Warner Bros. It stars the voice talents of the late Mel Blanc as well as Billy West, who voices many of Blanc’s characters today as well as hundreds of other characters from Futurama, The Ren & Stimpy Show and Batman: The Brave and the Bold to name a few. The featured song was written by the late Warren Foster a Michael Maltese, legendary writers from the Looney Tunes golden age. The animation itself was directed by Matthew O’Callaghan and created by Warner Bros. Animation in beautifully stylized CG that does the characters justice.

Even if Journey 2 isn’t up your particularly alley, the price of admission might be worth it to hear Mel Blanc’s voice on the big screen again, or perhaps for the very first time.

So when HBO put out a teaser entitled “Shadow” on youtube, we were all a-twitter. See for yourself.

Game of Thrones Season 2 premieres April 1st (that better not be a joke), 2012 on HBO.

Aint I a stinker?

Best of 2011

Best Game; Portal 2 (PC, Xbox 360, PS3): Singlehandedly proves that sequels can be better than their predecessors, puzzle games can earn game of the year awards and your co-op partner will NEVER listen to you. Now, would someone please tell me where my GUI level editor is? – Chris K.

Worst Film; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: A well written spy film with an exceptional cast directed into boredom, monotony and predictability. – Shirley H.

Worst Film; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: A dull, predictable snore-fest. A huge disappointment when you think what they could’ve done with that cast and setting. – Greg D.

Worst Game; Duke Nukem Forever (PC, PS3, Xbox 360): Is this really a surprise. The title couldn’t possibly live up to 15 years worth of hype, but failed to meet graphic, gameplay and sound standards held by even mediocre shooters of this decade. – Chris K.

Worst Film; Conan the Barbarian: And it PAINS me to admit it. I still think it could have been awesome if the director could add in about 5 minutes worth of pause for the audience to connect with ANY of the Characters. &@#$ A.D.D. filmakers! Someone get that crew some %#$@ Riddilin! I’ve been waiting for a new Conan movie for a long time only to be disappointed by how badly this sucked. It’ll be years before someone tries to relaunch the Barbarian Genre. – Matt F.

Worst TV; Torchwood: Miracle Day: Makes my list as biggest disappointment of 2011. It wasn’t terrible but it was such a massive step down from the previous 3 seasons. – Shirley H.

Worst Service; Netflix: Current Earning estimates aside, this was a terrible year for Netflix, 2 failed name changes, price hikes and a lack of new streaming options left many subscribers running to Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. – Bryan W.

Best TV series turned into the Worst; The Office: With Steve Carrell’s departure, the show has gone down the drain. I wanted the rivalry of Jim and Dwight back from seasons past, but got tired of waiting so it no longer lives on the DVR. – Mashelle K.

Mega Man circa 1987

The Blue Bomber is packin heat

Let’s start with the latter. The Blue Bomber himself, Mega Man will join Ryu, Ken, Kazuya and Nina in the ring. But instead of the 4 foot bionic boy, Mega Man looks as if he’s just stepped out of his original NES box art. Making a case for not judging a book by its cover, the artwork is legendary for missing the bus on accurate game representation by depicting a blue and yellow spandexed football player with a gun, oddly posed in front of a futuristic Aztec city. For SFXT, we get that pudgy brute in stretch pants and boots wielding a pistol. No arm cannon. No special abilities earned from downed enemies. No rush.

Ghost monsters won't stand a chance

Ol Paccy is back

If the wasn’t odd enough, Namco’s poster boy and gaming grandaddy Pac-Man rides atop Tekken staple Mokujin, suggesting that Paccy doesn’t actually bring anything too unique to the table, but instead mimics the other fighters.

I have to give Capcom credit for thinking outside of the box on both accounts. Just remember that these are exclusives for the PS3 and PS Vita handheld, joining Cole MacGrath from inFamous, announced at E3 in 2011.

Before you start assuming I’m somehow FOR the passing of the bills (in their current forms anyway) let me settle your minds. I’m not. I’ve reached out to my representatives, I’ve spread the facts and I’m plenty upset in my own right at the audacity of those who wrote and support the bills. That doesn’t mean I won’t speak out against those who use the protest as a way to illuminate their own agendas.

There’s a web series over at Penny Arcade’s PATV called Extra Credits. Generally speaking, each episode is a humorously animated, but serious look at video games, their influence, development and social impact. I enjoy them quite a bit actually because they focus on topics other sites don’t bother with. Intelligent, entertaining and topical, but the most recent episode is a gathering of relative small-time gaming site operators and game developers announcing their refusal to participate in the industry’s biggest event, E3, because the organization responsible for the event, The Entertainment Software Association, currently supports the passing of the bills.

In a pieced together series of talking head video clips, each of the participants urge viewers to reach out to their favorite game journalists, bloggers and websites to protest the ESA’s support of the bills by withdrawing from coverage of the expo, somehow taking money from their coffers and ‘stickin it to the man’.

Instead of using the exposure that comes from the popularity of Penny Arcade’s site and their videos to spread the facts about the bills and the responsible and effective ways to protest, they choose to give the finger to the privileges given to them as members of the media and deny their readers and viewers of the content that made them popular in the first place. Extra Credits, your job is to report gaming news and provide your opinions on games and the industry.

News flash: press doesn’t pay to get into the expo. If a journalist attends the expo, the ESA isn’t making any money off of him. It might hit the ESA’s wallet if exhibitors were to pull out, so urging developers and distributors to withdraw *might* be effective, but readers and viewers still need a journalist to report on the missing exhibitors. When journalists stay home, the list of people you hurt starts with your audience and includes food vendors and parking attendants for good measure.

The video comes off as ungrateful and self-centered. If these guys want to stay home during the biggest week of the gaming industry’s year, I say “thanks”. I’ll gladly take your web traffic because nothing turns loyal magazine subscribers away faster than NOT WRITING ABOUT YOUR TOPICS.

Similarly to the recent black-outs of popular sites like Wikipedia in protest of the bills, it’s a disservice to your customers, those readers who keep coming back and perhaps clicking on the ads that pay your bills. SOPA and PIPA threaten to censor the very news you report, so please explain to me why not reporting on it is better than censorship.

Of course, this is all moot now. I started writing this late last night and within the past hour, the ESA has officially dropped their support of the House’s SOPA bill saying “From the beginning, ESA has been committed to the passage of balanced legislation to address the illegal theft of intellectual property found on foreign rogue sites.” Their statement reeks of back pedaling though. It’s been obvious from the start that these bills lacked anything resembling balance, but I digress. It’s for the better.

Just as I’m sure the guys over at Extra Credits are beaming and giving each other high fives for their part in getting the ESA to turn tail, I’m just as sure they had very little to do with it. It’s a small battle in a much larger war that I expect to start raging again in February. The bills are both on hold now, but not dead, so let’s not lose sight of what’s at stake.

And for those of you who have a voice, particularly on the net for whom we’re ultimately fighting for, please don’t abuse your podiums. Think before you type.

Dig This is a sparkling example of capitalism at its finest.  When the economy started pointing south, the booming construction industry in Vegas shrank considerably.  At nearly the same time (2007) the first Dig This opened in Colorado.  4 years later, Dig This was doing well, but construction still wasn’t.  Perhaps seeing an opportunity, Ed Mumm expanded Dig This with purchased construction equipment, leased land (originally one of those stalled construction projects), and a local work force that was skilled in heavy machinery but lacking the employers.  Here’s a bit more of an overview:

Dig This allows customers to relive their youth playing with toy trucks by letting you drive full-size heavy machinery in their “super-sized sandbox.”  Their 2 machines are a bulldozer and excavator, each with their own controls to master and exercises to challenge you.  I was lucky enough to get to do the first (of 3) exercises on each machine.

Me and my Excavator

In the excavator, I first had to get used to driving the machine, using the treads and swiveling the cab.  Next I used a 16,000 pound arm to puncture the earth, scooping massive buckets full of dirt out of the ground and dumping it into a pile nearby.  I wasn’t really accomplishing anything, but that’s not the point.  Just being able to handle the controls and feel so much power at your fingertips makes even the simplest movement exciting.  I was told that from one position, an excavator can dig a hole 16 feet deep.  I didn’t get that far, but mine was at least 12, and I think I could have gone deeper if I hadn’t hit a rocky layer.  After that, I got out and watched with the instructor as my co-diggers, Randy and Ken, went on to stacking massive truck tires with a claw attachment and finally, delicately picking up basketballs in the scoop and neatly depositing them into an oversized “basket” of another truck tire on its side.  It looked like great fun, and I wished I’d gotten a chance to hone my skills at controlling the arm.

The Bulldozer and Instructor

Next up was the bulldozer.  This time my challenge would be easy, I thought.  Lower the blade, scrape dirt into a pile.  Wrong.  Well, lowering the blade was correct.  But digging the dirt at the right depth, maneuvering the boulders I inevitably dug up, and creating the perfect pile was more complicated than anticipated.  Several times, the instructor patiently had me back up because I had lost all of my progress.  I’d like to blame the boulders, but at least half the time it was my own fault.  The culmination of this was getting to drive the dozer over the top of the pile–”conquering” it.  Driving a massive vehicle to the top of a steep incline and feeling it tip ever so slightly over the edge was huge fun.  Going down the other side I got a bit sideways and was briefly concerned about tipping over.  The machines are so bottom-heavy that I doubt I was ever in danger of doing that, but the thought was sure exciting :)

The whole time I felt a sort of childish glee.  For anyone who ever played with trucks, or in a sandbox, it’s like getting to accomplish a lifelong dream you didn’t know you had.  I imagine it’s like getting to be a firefighter or astronaut for a day.

Stacking tires

My assumption was that it was for rich guys who are in Las Vegas to gamble.  Shockingly, I was told that 55% of their customers are women, and many of those are over 50 years old.  The controls are certainly responsive enough that anyone can do it.  The two men I was with were friends with each other.  One of their wives had found Dig This online and bought it as a Christmas present.  They both had a great time and developed a little rivalry in their excavator challenges that was fun to see.

Dig This is a wonderful complement to the entertainment options in Vegas already.  It’s close to the Strip and easy to get to, absolutely unique, very memorable, and open to anyone 14 years or older.  For people who aren’t so keen on the Vegas nightclubs, it’s refreshing to have something to do during the day, where drinking isn’t even an option.  If you’ve got the means and the interest (but really, who wouldn’t want to drive a 15-ton rotating claw?), it’s well worth the time.

Dozer vs. Excavator

I’ll close with a minor problem and a point of special recognition.  Doing only the basic exercise on each machine got a bit repetitive.  Digging the trench with the excavator and making my mini-mountain with the dozer was a lot of the same motions in a row.  It never got boring, but I did long for some variety.  Of course, they add variety if you do the full-length experience.  Watching the extra activities certainly made me envious!  On the other hand, I have to commend the staff.  The people in the office were friendly and helpful.  The instructors were knowledgeable, competent, and absolutely wonderful at putting you at ease.  Our instructor, Jason Heisig, was talking to us on a headset the whole time, giving tips, directions, and encouragement.  Never once did he make me feel like I was doing something wrong (although I almost certainly was).  Instead, he told me how to do things better, or differently, and it was just as easy as talking to a friend.  He was superb at managing Randy, and Ken and I all at once.  I didn’t get to work with the other instructor that day, Ruben, but he was nice enough to take time out of his job to put the bulldozer in some great poses for my camera.

I could fit inside!

So I had a great time at Dig This.  Really, I can’t imagine anybody not enjoying themselves here.  Kudos to a well-run company and creative addition to the Vegas scene!  There’s even been discussion of branching out further, so who knows…Dig This might be coming to a city near you!

In other words, I was really excited. As a writer, I occasionally get to visit some exciting venues and meet celebrities, but Chuck Jones is something of an inspirational hero of mine and to visit this new exhibit AND have Jones’ grandson, Craig Kausen, be our personal guide was something of a dream come true.

Delivery for Mr. Coyote

Charles M. Jones helped to create some of Warner Bros. Studio’s most famously known film stars. His legacy is lovingly and passionately presented here as a fitting addition to the family attractions inside the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Even before entering, visitors are treated to several interactive gags, straight out of the Acme archives: giant spinning tops, a pair of spring shoes and an inviting “Do Not Pull” sign on a box of fireworks. Anyone who has visited Toon Town at Disneyland or Disneyworld will find some familiarity with aspects of the exhibit, but with a different flavor.

After picking up tickets at a booth that looks like it was pulled from one of Chuck’s animated shorts, visitors enter through a dark hall whose walls are inscribed with quotes from the artist. Emerging into the light, guests are instantly immersed into the cartoon world of Jones’ mind, a street comprised of brightly colored sign posts and store fronts owned and operated by familiar characters. A stylized movie theater gives guests a brief history of Jones’ life and his characters.

The Grinch was drawn on this very desk

Exiting the theater, guests will get the unique opportunity to view a recreation of Jones’ office, complete with a portion of his actual library and the desk on which he drew key sequences for How The Grinch Stole Christmas on. The walls are adorned with original sketches and a few awards Jones earned during his career, excluding his four Academy Awards. A “window” to the outside world occasionally treats viewers to characters lounging on the sill or walking down the street. This may just be a re-creation of Jones’ office, but there is something of a tangible magic about it that you wouldn’t find in a regular museum.

Past the office, the tour enters into a character-centric room with sketches and a “How do you measure up” display, but Jones’ creations really come to life as you round the corner into a cartoon soundstage. Daffy Duck directs Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner as Bugs Bunny operates the camera in a life sized 3D re-creation of a Jones piece entitled “Lights, Camera, Action!”. Guests can take their mark on the X, just below Wile E.’s anvil, if they dare.

Hands on with animation

In the final rooms of the tour, visitors pass through a hall with a giant video wall on one side, featuring many classic moments from dozens of films, and on the other wall a timeline of the 300 plus titles Jones directed during his career. As guests step into the light, a cornucopia of interactive demonstrations await kids of all ages. Bring your own drawings to life using pencil, paper and a zoetrope – a slotted wheel that, when spun, make individual sketches come to life. Or take a turn at the foley station where guests lend their voices, claps, clicks, pops and whatever other sound they can conjure to a famous Looney Tunes moment.

The Chuck Jones Experience is a unique opportunity to learn more about a talented artist in a very entertaining way. Sketches, photos and paintings are found throughout the exhibit and many, including the last, unfinished commissioned piece Jones ever painted, have never been viewable by the public until now. But this isn’t JUST about Chuck.

Plenty of other artists are represented here too. Mickey Mouse, Tom & Jerry, even Spongebob Squarepants adorn the walls of the gallery because, after all, this is about the world of animation at the end of the day. guests who want to see if they have what it takes can bring their own drawings to life at The Chuck Jones Center for Creativity, where short classes in basic animation are taught by visiting animators in a classroom adjacent to the Experience’s gift shop.

It was Jones himself who said “The rules are simple. Take your work, but never yourself, seriously. Pour in the love and whatever skill you have, and it will come out.” The Chuck Jones Experience is filled with that love, and will undoubtedly be filled with those who love the characters Mr. Jones helped bring to life.

The Chuck Jones Experience opens January 19th, 2012 in a brand new 10,000 square foot expanse inside the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Admission is $19.95 for adults, $14.95 for children 5-17 years and free to children aged 4 and under.
