     The new 007 Game scheduled to release October 16, 2012 celebrating the 50th anniversary of the franchise, has a new trailer of the "Moonraker" level.  I have always been a James Bond fan and of there video games since "Goldeneye" on N64.  I am excited to go back in time and play such levels as "Moonraker" based on the old 007 movies.  A trailer of the level is shown below.  The graphics of the game are still not as enhanced as most games but it is still James bond.  Gotta love the Jaws scene. Check it out and tell me what you think.

My first video review, so dont be too harsh on me. Im not the biggest fan of the Hitman series, last one I played was on PC and I remember being extremely bored with it. But the sniper challenge was able to hold my attention for 20-30 minutes which is extremely awesome, considering its a demo. Link fixed.

Do you ever watch a movie and say, "Hey, That would be a bad ass game." Well they still don't make awesome movies into games very often. They're are a few upcoming movie based games coming out to prove it.  But never fear, with most movie based games come easy achievement lists and not very long game-play.   So here are a couple coming out in the next months to look forward to buying once they go on sale. Men In Black: Alien Crisis - May 22, 2012 (Xbox 360, PS3, WII) Third-person shooter where you battle cleverly disguised aliens with a slew of wacky arsenal including "the cricket". Madagascar 3: The Video Game - June 2012 (Xbox 360, PS3, NDS, WII) Travel Europe with the Dreamworks Madagascar gang while you try to venture home while running with a traveling circus. Action and Adventure filled with mini-games Brave: The Video Game - June 2012 ( Xbox 360, PS3, NDS, WII)   Run around a mysterious looking Scotland as a war

Living in the digital gaming age, us gamers are always getting nickeled and dimed on every little thing out there. So it's nice when game developers give us free things, especially when it comes for a game that charges for almost everything (except a online pass).

This year is Epic's 20th year anniversary and to celebrate, they are giving away a free soundtrack that spans across alot of their creations. There's plenty of Unreal and Gears of War on this soundtrack, but the Jazz Jackrabbit inclusions take me back to a time, trying to sneal and play it on our old packard bell, You can download the tracks individually here: Epic Games Or download the entire soundtrack here: Thumbstick Gamer
