I’ve waited for this since they’ve released the “Thou shalt always kill” single. Their first album “Angels” is an amazing mix of electronic and hip-hop with clever and beautiful lyrics, this could easily be the album of the year, a must buy for sure. Now my time spent in the metro from home to work and vice versa will be filled with Angels

On the other side, Bestival and Metallica were pretty awesome, now looking forward to Video Games Live

First of all I must say that I have played Fallout 1 and 2 and I am a fan of the Fallout games, and what I’ve seen in the game play trailers from E3 leaves me kinda disappointed. I expected a true RPG not a silly teddy bear post-apocalyptic generic shooter with low res textures, exaggerated gore and crappy animations. Ok, I liked the Pip-Boy.

Here is what Fallout 3 could have been if Troika had more money than Bethesda and here is the Rage trailer from id that has more fallout in it than the Fallout 3 trailer.

The Into the Pixel exhibit features sixteen works of video game art, selected by a panel of jurors from a field of submissions gleaned from artists around the world. The exhibition offers an opportunity for published video and computer game artists to be reviewed and recognized by the public and by their peers in both the fine art and video game worlds.

Awesome gallery, I love every selected piece! We can also see there the first concept art for the final episode of Valve’s Half-Life 2 saga!

Last night I’ve watched Batman Gotham Knight and I liked it, especially the first episode. The movie contains six animated short films set in-between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, each short being created by several animation studios in different artistic anime style. More stuff here.

Hell yeah! The trailer, the gameplay and the artworks, all are fucking awesome! Can’t wait to get my hands on you baby >:)

Here it is as I promised the finished version which, as usual, turned out to be worse than the sketch
