While many still know Nick Cave best for his work as a musician in groups like The Birthday Party, and especially for albums such as Let Love In and Tender Prey that he produced along with his band The Bad Seeds, Cave has become increasingly more visible in the world of cinema ever since he first started collaborating with filmmaker John Hillcoat on the helmer’s 1988 feature “Ghosts…of the Civil Undead.” That pairing has proved to be a lucrative one, as Cave went on to write the grisly Australian Neo-Western “The Proposition” for Hillcoat to direct, which has allowed him to continue various music and film endeavors that have included scoring films like “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” Hillcoat’s own “The Road,” and even the upcoming Guillermo Del Toro-produced (and now co-directed) adaptation of “Pinocchio.” Surprisingly enough, Cave was even once enlisted »

I admit when I'm wrong. When the Playstation Vita launch list was first revealed, if there was one game I had zero interest in playing, it was Michael Jackson: The Experience HD. I just didn't see how the game could be anything more than a simple rhythm game, the same kind that clog store shelves because there is nothing "unique" about them. I see a button symbol and I press it, rinse, repeat; simple.
But there was one factor that I overlooked. One thing that would make this game Unique, and that was Michael Jackson himself. No matter how people felt about the man in his later years, nothing can take away his talent. And that's why playing Michael Jackson: The Experience HD is very enjoyable.
Mje HD is a touch rhythm game. A direction symbol appears on the screen, and you mimic it with your finger(s). You make circles and half-circles, »
