Toy Review: Thor Lightning Hammer

Week of Geek: Thor

Thor Box

Every year that a Marvel blockbuster makes its way to theaters, it's a big hit. But the box office isn't the only place where Marvel makes a smash -- toy stores are also hit by the mighty power of Marvel, and this year is no exception.

I love action figures, but my favorite toys of the Marvel line have always been the sound effect toys. The toys that take an iconic piece of the movie of the year, add foam, and add sound effects. My personal favorites being the Thing and Hulk hands that were released a few years ago. And this year's awesome toy is Thor Lightning Hammer, Thor's mighty hammer Mjolnir, brought to us by Hasbro! And I gotta tell you, it keeps my love for these toys alive [...]

Next ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Game Revealed

Assassin's Creed Revelation

Game developer Ubisoft finally announced something we all new was coming, a new Assassin's Creed game: Assassin's Creed Revelations.

It wasn't until just now that I realized how convoluted the story line to this game really is. Again you will be Ezio, in the old memories of Desmond. In these genetic dreams, Ezio will do the things that Altair did, forget it, here is the description from the press release.

In Assassin's Creed Revelations, master assassin Ezio Auditore walks in the footsteps of his legendary mentor, Altaïr, on a journey of discovery and revelation. It is a perilous path – one that will take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region. [...]

Comic Review: Green Lantern #65

Posted: 05 May 2011 01:17 PM PDT

Green Lantern, Issue #65

Green Lantern #65
Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Doug Mahnke
Cover by Ivan Reis, Oclair Albert
DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
Release Date: April 20, 2011

One of the biggest events in DC Comics has come with the brand new War of the Green Lanterns story which is pitting Green Lanterns against each other. Part five of this epic event lands in Green Lantern #65 in which we see Guy, John, Kyle, and Hal without their rings and donning new rings to try and bring down the renegade guardian Krona who has taken over Oa and returned Parallax to the giant battery and made the rest of the guardians hosts for the other Lantern entities he has stolen.

This issue shows Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner flying a "suped" up shuttle from a Lantern safehouse to OA in order to find Kyle and John who are being tracked by the "infected" corps. This issue feels like a great buddy cop movie but set in space. The end of the book shows Kyle, Hal, John and Guy wearing other Corps rings to stop Krona [...]

Watch Now: Full-Length Trailer For ‘Conan The Barbarian’

Posted: 05 May 2011 06:39 AM PDT

Conan The Barbarian

The first full-length trailer for Conan the Barbarian is now online.

Watch it here below.

The new movie, directed by Marcus Nispel, is based on the universe created by Robert E. Howard and is a remake of the 1982 film that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the title barbarian. The teaser trailer released last month left a lot to be desired, but now the longer theatrical version shows that this movie actually has potential (now whether you can stand remakes in general is another thing).

Jason Momoa plays the title role here and at first, I wasn't sure if he was the right person to wield the blade, but he's won me over, especially after seeing the actor recently in HBO's new series Game Of Thrones [...]
