Preview: ‘Family Guy Online’ Part Two – A Look At the Writing And Audio For the Game

17 April 2012 8:37 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

In yesterday’s installment, we gave you a look at how Fox was working to create an all-gamer friendly Mmo in Family Guy Online. But more than anything else, the drive for the assembled teams working on the game appears to be getting as much fidelity to the show as possible. That means the extensive use of characters, locations, and voiceover from the show.

In this installment, we’ll look at how the assembled teams behind Family Guy Online worked to create a virtual Quahog—right down to details that weren’t even in the show—into this Fox Mmo.

If you were wondering how the Griffins would function in Fgo, the dysfunctional clan will be quest givers in the game and are voiced by the actors from the show. Peter, Meg, Chris, Stewie, Brian, and Lois will dole out story-based assignments in and around Quahog. And of course, each »

Mad Men Recap: A Bloody Good Time

16 April 2012 6:16 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

This week’s Mad Men opened in a driver’s ed classroom as Pete and some other students watched gory footage of auto accidents. The scene was an apt set-up for a John Slattery-directed episode in which the life of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce’s youngest partner was much like a car crash itself: bloody, likely to injure innocent bystanders, and yet mesmerizing in its horror. But Pete’s existential crisis was our Sunday evening entertainment, so let’s hit the gas on this puppy!

Exclusive: 52 Season Finales Spoiled!

Will Step Up 4: Miami Heat turn dance movies on their head?

4 April 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The fourth instalment of the Step Up franchise promises revolution on the streets – but its moves look strangely familiar

Taken as a whole, the Step Up series has a clear, classical three-act structure. In Step Up (act one), a boy and girl fall in love. In Step Up 2 the Streets (act two), the boy falls in love with another girl against the backdrop of an illegal street dance tournament. And then comes the thrilling denouement in Step Up 3D (act three), where not much happens but there's quite a lot of product placement and you have to wear some silly glasses to watch it.

This summer sees the release of Step Up Revolution (Step Up 4: Miami Heat in the UK). And if you're worried that the franchise might be running low on ideas in its fourth iteration, don't be. As its newest trailer makes perfectly clear, the film isn't »

Review: 'Ridge Racer Unbounded' (Xbox 360/PS3), or When 'Burnout' and 'Split/Second' Make a Baby

2 April 2012 11:49 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

Next year will mark 20 years of Ridge Racer as a series, with the release of the first arcade game back in 1993, and 2012 ends a six year gap between console entries in the drift-centric racing franchise (Rr 6 and 7 ushered in the new console generations for both Microsoft and Sony). Up until now, if you wanted to point out what distinguished Ridge Racer from other racing games on the market, it would be its closed track arcade-style racing, ridiculous drifting, and spokes model, race queen Reiko Nagase.

Ridge Racer Unbounded represents an attempt by Namco Bandai and developer Bugbear Entertainment FlatOut, Sega Rally Revo) to change directions a bit with the series, integrating combat and destruction elements lifted from competing titles like Burnout, as well as a focus on stunts and destruction. All but unrecognizable as a game bearing the title Ridge Racer, Unbounded has a healthy amount of new ideas that could potentially reinvigorate the series, »

28 February 2012 1:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

2012 will be the first year that GeekTrant will invade WonderCon, mostly due to the fact that it was moved down to Anaheim, CA this year which is right in our backyard.

WonderCon is set to open on Friday, March 16th and run through Sunday, March 18th at the Anaheim Convention Center. If you plan on attending let us know, and maybe we can meet up and hang out for a bit!

Stephen King & Joe Hill's Road Rage #1

19 February 2012 8:27 AM, PST | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

There are two writers that are essential to the development of horror both as a mainstream genre and it's place in modern culture:  Stephen King and Richard Matheson.  So, what happens when the former recreates a story by the latter?  Furthermore, what happens when his son, the wonderful Joe Hill, gets in on the action and they turn it into a comic book?  We get the brand new comic from Idw Road Rage.

Two giants of modern horror have taken a pretty famous story by Matheson, Duel, and updated it, how could you not get excited about this?

We know the story:  Big rig trucker chases and runs down innocent motorists on a long stretch of road in the desert.  Where is it different here, you might wonder?  Well, it's about an entire motor cycle gang being chased by the crazed trucker.

Based on both the short story Duel by »

Preview Pages from Stephen King and Joe Hill’s Road Rage

16 February 2012 11:55 AM, PST | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

This week, Idw Publishing released the first issue of Stephen King and Joe Hill’s Road Rage. We have a synopsis of the 4-issue miniseries, along with cover art and preview pages:

“The Tribe is more than a motorcycle club – it’s a family. Literally, since club leader Vince rides alongside his son Race, as well as fellow Viet Nam vet Lemmy and a passle of others. They’ve been together a long time, these two generations of riders. But never before have they seen the kind of trouble they’re about to run up against.

War is easy—lines are drawn, sides are chosen. But when the club is attacked on a lonely highway road by a trucker with unknown but quite murderous intent, their hard-scrabble existence becomes one of pure survival. And not all of ‘em are going to make it through.

In Throttle, Stephen King collaborated for »

Stephen King and Joe Hill Team Up On “Road Rage” Comics

4 January 2012 7:12 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

Stephen King and son Joe Hill (nee Joe Hillstrom King) teamed up back in 2009 on a short story called Throttle, the tale of a motorcycle gang being pursued by a madman in a big rig. The story was featured in the compilation book He Is Legend: An Anthology Celebrating Richard Matheson (Tor Books), as well as an audio book from MacMillan that same year under the title Road Rage. The macabre duo are now triple dipping, as Idw Publishing has announced a four-part comic book series based on the story, with Road Rage: Throttle landing this February and March, and Road Rage: Duel following in April and May. Nelson Daniel will handle art, while Phil Noto is on cover duty. Richard Matheson shares credit, as Throttle/Road Rage is based on his original story Duel.

Below you’ll find several frames from the series, and here is a »
