Muhahaha (again)...

It's Halloween today. The little kids will be out, begging for money and sweets. Well, that's what it's all about, isn't it? I think Halloween is dead. Seriously. There is not as much interest, not as much hype, and not very good TV Movies, so I have to go out, and rent movies, which is fine. But seriously, get more Halloween blogs up, and start getting SPOOKY. Ok, I'll stop that, but erm, yeah, you get it.

Spooky Movie Countdown

These are not my favourite horror movies of all time (although they are all amazing), but they are my top ten to watch on a cold, spooky, dark night. Try tonight. Go on, go get one, watch it, and be scared!

10: The Evil Dead

What can I say? The horror that inspired horror's. This freaky, gory as hell, guts and blood movie is one hell of a horror. I mean, this is the sort of movie everyone should be watching on Halloween night. It's really scary, and it's Sam Raimi's work, so don't expect something terrible. Gore, scares, amazing special effects, The Evil Dead is a great, old, horror flick. Just don't sleep in a wood cabin tonight in the woods! Please, don't.

9: The Descent

8: Saw

Saw was a low budget project, but now, is a massive hit, with a seventh and eighth movies announced, and a videogame. But this is by far the best Saw. The great plot, the scary as hell "pig mask" scenes, the gore, the amazing climax, and the music. Saw isn't one who likes Narnia and Up, this is a hardcore, bloody thriller. Damn, it's good!

7: Last House On The Left (2009 remake)

8: 28 Weeks Later

The first was awesome. This was even better. Without a doubt, the British are the best at zombie horror movies. Gory, intense, scary, freaky, and one hell of a roller coaster ride. This great movie scared the hell out of me, and I do not scare easily. The music is so intense, the story grips you from beginning to end, the effects are awesome and then gore, oh my, love it!

7: Clive Barkers: Midnight Meat Train

6: Aliens

I loved Alien, the start of a great saga, great spin off titles, too. But the second proved that sequels can be better than the originals. Aliens picks up the story from the first, too. By Ridley Scott, Aliens is a fast paced, suspenseful, scary horror movie. The plot is fantastic, and it doesn't fail to scare you at all. Very spooky, ideal for Halloween!

5: The Excorcist

4: Wolf Creek

This isn't really a horror. It's spooky, but it's a thriller. It's based on a true story, and it's real scary. I won't spoil the plot for you, but seriously, if you see this movie, then buy it, because this Australian flick is awesome!

3: The Shining

2: Drag Me To Hell

A weird choice here, but Sam Raimi's latest global hit is out now, and is not to be missed, especially on Halloween night. It has a small dash of comedy, but that doesn't spoil the movie at all. It's a sick (Old Woman's teeth in the car scene, anyone?), twisted, fun, suspenseful thriller, that will have you behind your sofa, and begging for mercy. A great new take on the devil, and hell. Solid!

1: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Original)

My Favourite Halloween Monster

By far, Frankenstein is the most horrid creation on cla$sic monster earth! The bolts, the green head, the flat hair, it's still an icon today. Praise to all that dress up as it tonight.

Halloween Treats

I know, this blog is getting more child - ish by the minute, but it's Halloween, right? I want to post a few links to Halloween food treats. If you have kids you want to cook for, or get them involved, whatever, here are some great recipes. Have fun! Try a Spooky Graveyard Cake, or maybe some Eyeball Pasta, which could be great for a quick meal. It's up to you! If you want some tiny tasty treats, why not cook some Scary Spider Buns? Or maybe, you want something a little more healthy, like Pumpkin Soup? Tasty!

What a Day!

Well, I'll be looking forward to tonight. I'll be cooking a meal for me and the girl, maybe some Pumpkin Soup (that's a joke, honestly). Then some beer and wine, some Evil Dead and Casino Royale, sweets, Pringles, and then, bed. Bed, my favourite part of the night. Yeah, We will be...

Muhahaha...

It's that time of year again folks, Halloween has struck (well, it will strike tomorrow, but you get the idea), and I have put together this spooky Halloween blog. Actually, this is part one, and the second part will be posted tomorrow, with a spooky horror movie countdown, my favourite Halloween monster, and well, some other stuff. It's just a bit of fun, so I'll get cracking, should I? Enjoy.

Top 5 Spooky Games

5: Resident Evil

The PS1 started out with easy, colourful, family games. But then, Resident Evil burst onto the scene. The scary, atmospheric mansion you roam around in, with your fellow friends. The first time you saw that horrid zombie, which burst out on you like an exploding firework, making you pause the game and get your head around the sheer horror of what you saw. You then fight the zombie, which didn't take allot of hammering, but I will never remember that moment. Ever.

4: Bioshock

3: Doom 3

Sure, you couldn't hold a flashlight and a gun at once, but that's what made Doom 3 what it is today, an iconic, scary as hell First Person Shooter. Your in a dark area, holding your flashlight with the tips of your fingers, then suddenly the most ugliest, freakish monster jumps out on top of you. You quickly change to your gun, and shoot into the darkness, only to be attacked from behind, and die. Iconic, play it for yourself, and see how scary that is. First time, anyway.

2: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

1: Dead Space

Now, I never expected such a scary game. Most modern games don't scare me, or other gamers around the world. But Dead Space was, and still is, the scariest game to date. It's atmospheric corridors, it's crazy aliens, that you must fight and shoot to survive. The iconic, memorable boss fights, the sounds and visual scares. Everything was stunning. EVERYTHING.

Your Halloween

What are you doing for Halloween? I'm 19, so I won't be going out Trick "R" Treating, but I have planned a romantic meal for me and my girlfriend, complete with Pumpkin candles, and a lovely orange cake to follow. Spooky, eh? Then, we are going to watch two movies, The Evil Dead, and Casino Royale, because we both love Casino Royale, the best bond. And it's on Bluray, so that is even better! So, I want to know what you guys are doing for Halloween! Comment below at your will. Muhahaha.

Scary Picture 1

Anyone seen The Evil Dead? Well, you should if you love a gory scare or too. Just look at that ugly creature, scares the hell out of me even now! *Will The Evil Dead be on my horror movie countdown tomorrow? You'll just have to wait and see.

Coming Tomorrow...

Tomorrow, on Halloween it's self, I'll be doing a spooky horror movie countdown from ten, my favourite Halloween moster, another scary picture, Halloween food treats and more. So don't miss it! I urge all other people here on Gamespot to get into the Halloween mood, and post there own Halloween blog, today or tomorrow! I'd love to read them...

October has been a interesting month. Not only many, many great games, like Uncharted 2 and Borderlands, but many DVD releases, news and rumours. What I hope to achieve here is a good, lengthy blog about the goings on of October, possibly the greatest month of 2009 so far!

Games

What can I say? October has been truly phenomenal. With the hyped up piece of art that was Uncharted 2, which is stunning, by the way, to the unique Borderlands, the fast paced PES 2010, the great, realistic as hell war shooter Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and the release of Forza 3. I loved October, and it may be ending, but all of us can still look back and remember this historic month of gaming, for the PS3 and the Xbox 360! Lets start with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. No one really likes it. I have read many Gamespot reviews in which gamers (if you can call some people that) push bad points towards the game, stating it has bad graphics, boring gameplay, lack of checkpoints. Well I tell you all now, it hasn't. It's a solid First Person Shooter, and is perfect for fans of Call Of Duty, or any game similar. But I think my biggest highlight this month was Uncharted 2 (which I rated 10/10, by the way). Everyone knew it was going to deliver something superb to the PS3. The graphics are stunning, the story is well developed, the realism, the voice acting, the weapons and hand to hand combat, the characters, the settings, the sheer enjoyment you get out of Uncharted 2 is solid as a rock. The best game I have ever played on since Metal Gear Solid 4 and Bioshock! Then, the rather anticipated Borderlands, which is rich in art, and graphical succes and PES 2010, which is a great footballing sim, which no one seems to have bought yet, or even considered. Oh, and how can I forget Forza 3 for the Xbox 360? It is simply amazing. Great cars, great racers, and damn great fun!

Movies

Recently, Drag Me To Hell as released on DVD. I rented it yesterday, and watched it last night. I have to say, this is by far the best thriller type horror movie I have watched in a long time. Think The Evil Dead in the city, with even better effects and a better story. I was impressed with the acting, the rather scary moments of terror, the climax, everything in Drag Me To Hell was polished nicely. But that doesn't stray the fact that it was a little predictable. Another horror movie I saw, well, horror comedy, was Doghouse, a British horror zombie comedy. I found it rather funny, and some big names stars (Noel Clarke, Danny Dyer) made it even better with their hilarious one liners and great acting, which suited the parts well. The gore was spot on, the music was laughable, and overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend!

News

A recently new gaming news story has emerged online, about the leaked Modern Warfare 2 campaign story. It has caused a little of a argument around the world. Here's the basics. If you do not want to be spoiled, stop reading now and skip this section! This extract is taken from Gamespot.

Now, footage has leaked which appears to show that the game will indeed depict the massacre, reminiscent of last year's mass killings in Mumbai, India, which left nearly 200 people dead. In a move sure to ignite controversy, the footage indicates the game will cast players as one of the killers, having them shoot civilians en masse from a first-person view. Several sites have posted footage showing the same group of five terrorists (including the player), wearing body armor over business suits, as has been shown in every trailer for the game. (See screen comparisons, which have leaked, lower-resolution footage on the bottom.) The killers first emerge from an elevator, as the sound cues in the very first trailer portrayed. Once out, they open fire indiscriminately into a crowd by the security lines, before moving up a series of body-draped escalators shown in the "Infamy" trailer released earlier this month. From there, the terrorists move through shopping level--with the player dispatching wounded civilians squirming on the ground, before moving down another escalator. Then, the scene shifts to the airport's tarmac, where they encounter a group of security personnel under a large passenger jet with red, white, and blue stripes. The same jet appears to be shown in the "Infamy" trailer, but from the opposite viewpoint of the security personnel moving to stop the killings. At that point, the leaked footage ends. However, despite being of low quality, the footage bears several telltale signs which indicate it is authentic--or an extremely elaborate mod. First is the fact the terrorists shown look identical to those in the last two official Modern Warfare 2 trailers. Second is the fact the blurry subtitles appear to show the name "Makarov"--the last name of the game's primary antagonist, Vladimir Makarov. Copyright Gamespot

The video can be found here. Now, I don't find anything wrong here. I mean, terroism is wrong, of course, but it's a game, it's meant to be fun. Modern Warfare 2 is going to blow everyone away, but I hope this doesn't cause any problems, because this game will rock, end of!

Well there, I have written my hands to threads. My Novemeber review, will be (you guessed it) posted at the end of November. I will post a new blog next week sometime, and my gaming reviews for Borderlands, PES 2010 and Forza 3 will be posted within the next few days. But that is all from me, goodbye!
