Are you ready for the ride of your life?

Picture yourself in the 60’s casually leaning against your chrome and cherry bike, as your chick comes sauntering up to you, pretty as can be in her skin tight jeans and her leather vest showing off just enough cleavage to flaunt her assets without being too bawdy. Time to ride. The 60’s were a time commonly known for sex, drugs, and rock and roll to run rampant, in the world of bikers it was no different. Deep Silver, in accompaniment with Koch Media, Perspective Studios, and Eutechnyx, has captured the very essence of the biker movement, rock music and the hippie counterculture to paint a picture that plays out into a game that flows beautifully, aptly named Ride to Hell.

This game is not for the weak. Ride to Hell is a game about the truth of the matter, not painting history a rose colored hue. You will play characters that will protect their turf and vehicles from rivals, immerse themselves in the flavor of freedom, and ultimately get a full drink of West Coast biker culture. With movie style clips and graphic features that promise to keep your hands gripping the controller in awe, this game is a promising rainbow in a sea of games that borrow from the mundane.

Coming out in the second quarter of 2009, this game already indicates all the rawness of a game that will keep you returning for more. I plan on being occupied for hours, myself. What more could someone want than bikers, rival gangs, and 60’s culture all wrapped up in a game that promises to be this good?

WALL*E makes robotics exciting!

THQ could not resist grabbing such a tasty metal as WALL*E and turning it into a multi-platform gem.  Nary a console or hand-held on the market will be denied WALL*E’s movie based adventure with 9 fast paced levels.  With Disney’s Pixar satisfied with THQ’s release of Ratatouille last year, it was no surprise that WALL*E has the great demo quality that it has, with the actual product assured to be intriguing.

Gamers will notice purposeful references to the movie, showcasing the graphics and storyline.  With such excitement as taking control of WALL*E or EVE, players blaze through various areas that are familiar from the movie.  Carrying out intense missions, dodging dangerous enemies and navigating their way through a futuristic world each player will also find areas that are not familiar.

So, what would you do if you were the last robot on Earth?  If you were WALL*E, you would do the same thing over and over again until you found your EVE.  If you are a gamer, you would pick up a copy of WALL*E on any platform, since it is available on all, even mobile platforms, then you would control the robot for hours on end.  Repeat.
