Well it’s certainly a chilly evening here in San Diego. Though everyone’s out in full force for New Moon!! My Wife, myself, Nelson and Jessica are currently waiting in line for the 12:01am showing. Well we have plenty of pictures to show the fans support for the latest addition to the Twilight Saga. Be sure to check out the gallery after the break.
We have all seen some really talented artists in various forms of media. It seems that there is a very large community over on Deviant Art. I find myself frequently visiting the site and just being blown away. I happen to stumble on Jeremy’s Art Gallery and boy was I amazed. A very interesting art style that really stands out. Also does some really bitchin Pokemon!!! Be sure to check out his Art Gallery. Here is a little Q&A session I had with Jeremy.
Artist of the Week: Jeremy M. Jack
What’s been your inspiration for art?
As a child I was very inspired by Disney. Then came Don Bluth and he was like the ANTI-Disney. When i saw The Secret of Nihm I felt my whole life had changed… After which I saw the work of Norman Rockwell and art made a difference to me. Then came comics, and Jim Lee revolutionized the way I drew. Then Jae Lee blew my mind by proving comic art didn’t have to follow a specific “style”. Right now I am HUGELY inspired by greats like Matteo Scalera and Sean “Cheeks” Galloway. In fact I am taking Sean’s Schoolism course this semester and I can’t wait! As far as people close to me, I must give credit to my cousin Travis Story, who gave me the greatest tales to tell through my art. And my good friend Clayton Bodley, who gave me the best characters and a real drive to persue my art.
The Naruto Series has been far from shy concerning Video Game adaptions. Though it seems that most were largely based around the original franchise. Well most Naruto fans have move far passed the original story arc and have branched into the Shippuden Series where Naruto and Crew have grown in age. I myself have been patiently awaiting more Shippuden Games especially after the DS Naruto Fighter. TOMY luckily was thinking the same thing with recent launch of the Naruto Shippuden Clash of the Ninja Revolution III . With the review copy in hand figured it was time to test my ninja skills. How does this game hold up compared to the already establish TOMY Franchise of Naruto Fighting Games??
ZOMG this weeks release list is amazing. I never thought this many things would ever come out in one week. Let’s start with DVD/Blu Ray. Farscape Complete Series makes it’s comeback to DVD. While in the Blu Ray Department Star Trek makes it’s debut. In terms of Video Games we have Assassin’s Creed II along with God of War: Collection :) :) In the category of Sparkly Vampires we have 3 entrys: How to Be starring Robert Pattinson, Twilight Scene It for the Wii and in the Theaters it’s NEW MOON!!!! Wowsa there plenty more goodies in this weeks release list. If you see anything I forgotten please drop a comment.
A new in depth look into the world of Dragon Age Origin. I’m sure you heard us talking about the game on the last Pixelated Podcast. In short the game is solid. A kinda cross between KOTR and Oblivion. A full review will be live next week. Until then enjoy the video.
There are a ton of really talented Artists out there. The crew here at PixelatedGeek would like to help highlight them. Frequently I will be posting a Artist of the Week Column here on the site. This week’s artist is Mike Henry. I was lucky enough to have stumbled onto his Art Gallery on Deviant Art and got in contact with him for a little Q&A.

What’s been your inspiration for art?
My inspiration has been many different things depending on where I am in my life. When I started drawing it was Ninja Turtles. When I was a teenager it was anime, Batman the Animated Series, ExoSquad, Gargoyles. Now it has expanded to just about anything I see from movies, animation, television to music, other artists, and daily life. It’s hard for me to see something that is cool and not get fired up about it. That makes me want to put something down on paper.
This week is a very blu week, not in the sad way in the ray way!!! Yes this week marks 2 Pixar Movies hitting Blu Ray and just in time for the holidays. Don’t be down simply look UP…..okay bad joke. So Up is out along with Monster’s Inc. Also this week in terms of games we have Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In the Movie Theater we have Pirate Radio with Chris O’Dowd aka Roy from IT Crowd. Don’t know how good the flick is but love IT Crowd!!! Anywho you see anything I missed drop a comment.
The PSP is quite a interesting handheld device, it’s major draw for me was the more Mature themed content and the 3d Graphics. That’s not to say I don’t own a DS but there isn’t Kratos on the DS. This time around it’s a fresh new title from Tecmo called Undead Knights. I was lucky enough to get a review copy to give a spin. How does this game live up to it’s undead title? (more…)
With today being the official release date of Dragon Age Origins what better way to celebrate then with a trailer.
Leading video game developer BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today that award-winning rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars will headline the in-game soundtrack for the new epic RPG, Dragon Age™: Origins. The title song from the band’s new album “THIS IS WAR” will make its world debut in Dragon Age: Origins before the highly-anticipated album (EMI’s Virgin Records) drops on December 8th. Available in the game today, fans and press can also get a first-listen of “THIS IS WAR” in an exclusive game trailer co-produced by Thirty Seconds to Mars front-man, Jared Leto.
Hot damn the release list for this week is looking pretty good. I think this week I’m most pumped about Dragon Age Origins the game comes out Nov 2nd and looks just great. In terms of Blu Ray this week we have G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobras, don’t think I’m picking this up but it will be added to my Netflix. Oh and for the Movie Theater we have The Fourth Kind!!!! Overall a pretty solid Release List. Like before you see something I missed drop comment!!!
