Hugo Brings Magic to Theatres

Directed by Martin Scorsese, Hugo is slated to be the most imaginative, amazing movie set for Summer release. Exploring magic, the suspension of belief, and a world full of wonder, Hugo is set around an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station (the best environment for a young boy to grow up in) who gets wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.

Starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Jude Law and introducing the young Asa Butterfield as Hugo, this film is sure to be one worth giving a go. Hugo has already experienced a huge amount of praise, topping the Critics Choice Movie Awards Nominations, with The Artist, and is bound for greater things as awards season comes on. A simply beautifully presented film, this is one that will take you back to times when you experienced endless wonder as a child.

Check out the clips below, if they’re an accurate representation for the film then it is certain to be all sorts of heart-warming, and brilliantly crafted. What do you guys reckon? Is this on your list of Summer movies to watch?

Hugo is currently out in the US and UK, with Australian Cinematic release set for January 12, 2012.

Charlize Theron puts the Young in Young Adult

Charlize Theron puts the Young in Young Adult

Sit up, Charlize Theron fans, here is another movie from the critically acclaimed and damn gorgeous actress. In a not-so-typical comedy, Theron takes on the role of the unlikeable protagonist who heads back to her home town, making waves as she does and not everyone (in fact, pretty much no one) is happy to see her return.

Written by Juno’s Diablo Cody and directed by Up In The Air’s Jason Reitman, this was always destined to be different from the usual and break the boundaries usually set by comedies. From afar it might seem like just another typical ‘go home, learn a lesson, grow as a person’ movie, but with this creative team and the talented Theron at the helm, this guaranteed to be anything but typical.

Check out some clips from the movie below! Is this a movie you guys would be interested in seeing? Is it a bit too different for you? Or not different enough? Or, if you’re from another, luckier country, have you already seen it and what did you think of it? Let us know in the comment section below!

Young Adult is set for cinema release in Australia on January 19, 2012.

Kingdom Hearts 3D to feature Fantasia World

V-Jump has revealed a new world for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. The world will be titled ‘Symphony of Sorcery’ and will be based upon the classic Disney film Fantasia.

Sora and Riku will travel to the Fantasia world and meet Sorcerer Mickey. As you can imagine there will probably be plenty of broomsticks in this world. So if your a fan of broomsticks, your in luck… I guess? At least the Fantasia world will be visually interesting.

What do you think of the latest Kingdom Hearts 3D world revealed? Is it just as bizarre a choice as Tron Legacy? Let us know in the shoutbox and comments section.

Mega Man 25th Anniversary, Some ‘Things’ Planned

Mega Man 25th Anniversary, Some ‘Things’ Planned

Capcom certainly had quite a year in 1987, and 25 years on two of their oldest franchises Mega Man and Street Fighter are celebrating their 25th Anniversary.

Earlier today Capcom announced they had ‘big things’ planned for Street Fighter’s anniversary. Now they have revealed that instead of having ‘big things’ planned for Mega Man’s 25th Anniversary, they simply have ‘things’ planned.

Whatever those ‘things’ are exactly, we do not know. Let’s hope it’s not anything like how they chose to celebrate Mega Man’s 24th anniversary last year – by nailing an unsuspecting Mega Man into a cold coffin and immediately going back to talking about how Street Fighter x Tekken will change the face of fighting games.

So far they have released a nice little promo logo for the 25th anniversary which you can see above. Be sure to let us know what you think in the shoutbox and comments section.

Kid Icarus: Uprising to ship with 3DS Stand

Kid Icarus: Uprising to ship with 3DS Stand

Yesterday we discovered that Kid Icarus: Uprising would be compatible with the Circle Pad Pro to help out lefties. Today we find out via tweet from creative director Masahiro Sakurai, that the title will ship with a 3DS Stand of all things.

The 3DS Stand set to ship with the title is apparently designed to keep the console steady while playing. I’m not sure whether we should be concerned as to why it was necessary to create a stand peripheral to keep the console steady while playing this game, but for now I’ll reserve judgement until we can see the game in action with the stand and without it.

You can check out a picture of the stand to the right (click for full size). What do you think of this news? Let us know in the shoutbox and comments section below.

Massive Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 screenshot release has nearly everything you need

Whenever you usually see some news about screenshots being released for a video game of some sort, the most you can expect is somewhere around ten or at the most twenty images. But how about more than seventy pictures that show nearly everything you will need to know about an upcoming video game release?

Such is the case today with NIS America’s latest batch of English screenshots for Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2. All of the screenshots can be seen in the gallery below and they show off practically every new and returning feature that Mk2 will have over the first Hyperdimension Neptunia title. This includes new characters, the Lily system, Chirper, the new battle system and plenty of other things. With Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2’s release quickly approaching this is a great time to refresh your memory of the Gameindustri world.
