Max Payne 3 announced

Rockstar announced the release of Max Payne 3 today, but aside from the knowledge that it takes place after his retirement and in a new city, there is little else known about it. Personally, I'm a huge fan of this series and loved the "renegade cop hellbent on revenge" premise, but I thought that they took a step backwards in the second installment by focusing on the love story a bit too much. Hopefully they go back to the series roots and find a new reason for him to dish out the vigilante justice that makes this series so much fun.

Eureka 7 Trailer

There's a Eureka 7 movie coming out in April and the first trailer for it is up on the Japanese movie site. It's looking good.

Dragonball Kai and more BioWare news

I didn't report it, but it's been known for a couple of weeks that Dragonball Z will be re-cut and re-aired in HD as Dragonball Kai. Which is all well and good, but the real news is the announcement of exactly how much is being cut. Toei has said that the new cut of the series will follow the plot of the original manga. This means that there should be far less filler episodes and the consecutive episodes of 2 guys grunting at each other for 30 minutes will also be gone. This might actually be worth re-watching.

In gaming news, BioWare has announced that they are openning a new studio to assist in the development of Mass Effect 2. I can't argue with that. Anything they can do to make Star Wars: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 2 the most stellar games ever is a good thing in my book.
