Well, yesterday i went to the movies to watch the so good-mentioned Batman movie, which some friends told and recommend me that was the best Batman movie so far, and after watching it, i was completely agreed with them!!.
Batman: Dark Knight follows the story of Batman itself on the fight against the crime and against the Joker, his worst enemy, all in all in a great, exciting and action-filled movie from beginning to end, even if your not a Batman fan you will love this movie just like me and just like any other, so if u got a little dissapointed with the Batman Begins movie, is because the producers saved the best for this outstanding sequel and to make the backtrack story of Bruce Wayne before and after becoming Batman on the Batman Begins movie, but on The Dark Knight is where the things get very chaotic and action filled just like the comics of Batman.
So, all the perfomance from all the characters were simply great where the best who perfomed on this movie in my opinion was Heath Ledger as The Joker (too bad he died this year, RIP man) and all action effects and scenes were really great. Also let me say that this movie comes with a great lenght of 2 hours with 53 minutes (152 minutes) including credits (not that i did watched them though).

So i posted this blog to say to all of you who didn't watched this movie, to GO and WATCH it!! because is a really great movie, far far far better than the Hancock movie, which wasn't so bad but neither so good. So i gave my impressions, and i waiting for the DVD to grab it.
It was announced, it was Confirmed, no rumours nor speculations, two great titles are coming to PC, what they seems to be the most destructive games graphically, what i'm talking about is:
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

With an August 31 of 08 as the confirmed release date, Mercenaries 2 is a game set in Venezuela (southamerica country), were armed and political conflicts comes as a especial opportunity for the mercs, Mattias Nilson (The Animal), Chris Jacobs (The Leader), and Jennifer Mui (The Femme Fatale), to gain some money and blowing all the s*** up. Now that i told you a little brief about the story, let me tell you about the gameplay, which will be awesome and a hell of a fun; if you played the first Mercs, you know how the gameplay will be, but for those who didn't played, Mercenaries, is a free roam (GTA- like) game, where you can go anywhere and do anything, blow up buildings, fire big guns, hijack military and casual vehicles, order drops in of special vehicles, ammo, and bombs, and more, more, more!. I'm trully excited with this one, not only because the graphics and features, is because i want to see how they recreate and renders Venezuela, because i travelled almost every place of it, and to be honest with you, is not a paradise, but it has some sweet spots and places around to join just for a while.Can't wait to drop a big Nuke all over Caracas!! heheh..


A vast array of vehicles will race and go wild on a PC game called Burnout Paradise, which is a destructive racer, were every screw and every part of the car, counts!, it just looks awesome and will be awesome!. No confirmed release date, where i presume will be released it at November, if not December, or October maybe. Check http://www.criteriongames.com/ for recent updates about this game.
UPDATE: Well, as no official release dates has been comfirmed, most of game websites like gamespot and gamestop has posted a possible release date in 1Q 2009 (First Quarter of 2009). Is sad it won't be released this year, but is a safe bet that the game will be a real deal when it comes out
So, that's it, two great games that will destroy a lot of PC's this year (literally, nuff said), that i believe they will earn scores from 9.0 out of 10, to beyond the 9.0 either. Can't wait for them!
After hearing some great songs like "Bombtrack", "Killing in the name of", "Bulls on Parade", and "How i could just kill a Man", i said "WTF?!?" (in a surprise way) and i bought 4 Albums of them, and all i have to say is, they ROCK!, man, is a great Alternative Metal band wiith great killer songs, and i suggest to buy and listen to these albums:
Rage Against the Machine (1st Album)(Year 1992).........Great (5 out of 5)
1.- Bombtrack (4:05)
2.- Killing in the name Of (5:14)
3.- Take the Power Back (5:37)
4.- Settle for Nothing (5:37)

7.- Wake Up (6:04)
8.- Fistful of Steel (5:31)
9.- Township Rebellion (5:24)
10.- Freedom (6:06)
Albeit short on songs, all of them are great except Settle for Nothing and Fistful of Steel which i don't like them so much like the others, but is definetely the album of this band you have to listen to.
Evil Empire (Year 1996)..........Great (4.5 out of 5)

8.- Without a face (3:38 )
9.- Wind Below (5:52)
10.- Roll Right (4:24)
11.- Year of the Boomerang (3:59)
Great songs, except for a few ones which i didn't liked because were slow paced, but the rest is awesome, worth listening too.
The Battle of Los Angeles (Year 1999)..........Good but not much (3 out of 5)
1.- Testify (3:30)
2.- Guerrilla Radio (3:26)

8.- Maria (3:48 )
9.- Voice of the Voiceless (2:31)
10.- New Millenium Homes (3:45)
11.- Ashes in the Fall (4:37)
12.- War Within a Breath (3:36)
Is a good album, few great songs, but the band seems that made a leap over their Alternative Metal to a more likely Alternative Rock which sucks but not so much.
Renegades (Year 2000) ..........Great (5 out of 5)
1.- Microphone Fiend (5:01)
2.- Pistolgrip Pump (3:18 )
3.- Kick out the Jams (3:11)

5.- Beatiful World (2:35)
6.- I'm Housin (4:56)
7.- In my Eyes (2:54)
8.- How i Could just kill a Man (4:04)
9.- The Ghost of Tom Joad (5:38 )
10.- Down on the Street (3:39)
11.- Street Fighting Man (4:42)
12.- Maggie's Farm (6:54)
13.- Kick out the Jams [Live] (4:31)
14.- How i Could just Kill a Man [Live] (4:30)
A Great Album, seems that the band mixed the best part of their three albums to make this a hell of a great one, all songs are great in exception of a few ones like "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and so on, but overall great and worth to listen
Well that's all, if you like Rap and Metal, when you mix it, you have a great combo named Metal Encore or better known as Alternative Metal and this band performs it greatly, just buy one or two of their albums and give them a shot, which one of them that i definitely recommend is their first album "Rage Against the Machine" which i loved, and sure u will love too.
More Games and Music Album's reviews coming soon....
