The Secret of Monkey Island – The Movie!

Ahh I wish. Too bad the movie has already been made (3 times) and called Pirates of the Caribbean each time. For those who never played Monkey Island – it came out in 1990, created by Ron Gilbert after having been inspired by riding the Pirates of The Caribbean ride at Disney World.

You can see many Monkey Island themes in the movie (ghost pirates, the style of humor), and themes from the ride in the early games (there is a dog in a jail cell in the second Monkey Island game you use to solve a puzzle, pirate themes, etc etc..)

So yeah! I found this video and I couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face, but if you haven’t played Monkey Island, I doubt you’ll have the same problem. Enjoy!

Borderlands – PC or Xbox 360?

This is what happens if Call of Duty had sex with Halo, that lovechild later made sweet love to XIII.  Okay, now THIS love child had a massive orgy with all of the major consoles, while they were busy fisting Left 4 Dead.

Graphics inspired by XIII + Semi-Halo-like Driving + COD/Halo Shooting + WoW style Quests/Items + Left 4 Dead Multiplayer Teams = This game.

Borderlands is a first-person shooter that includes character-building elements found in role playing games, leading to Gearbox calling the game a “role-playing shooter”. At the start of the game, players select one of four characters, each with a unique special skill and with proficiencies with certain weapons.

I can’t decide if I should get this game for PC or Xbox 360.  Which platform will you be getting it for?
