Plot summary: "In the future, Earth's resources are scarce, and humanity survives by sending mining ships around the galaxy to strip the elements from other planets. As space miner Isaac Clarke, you're aboard the Nishimura, a massive mining ship that's gone AWOL and offline. Naturally, after you board the ship with fellow employees, things go decidedly pear-shaped." - GameSpy.com

Metallica Releases New Album Title and More!! - iTaggit's Entertainment Newsletter, June 2008

ikonono — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:28:00 GMT

Hello! I am Junaid your Community Manager for Movies, Music, and Video Games. June is shaping up to be an amazing month for film, with the release of Kung Fu Panda starring Jack Black, Mongol, a story about Genghis Kahn, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, The Increduble Hulk, Get Smart, and Wall·E. All of these films look great, and I am sure there is something for everyone.

Also, be sure to check out these great video games released this month: MLB Slugfest (Xbox 360, PS2), Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PS2), Moto GP 06 (Xbox 360.. a motorcycle racing game!), NFL Head Coach (Xbox, PS2, PC), and Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest (PS2, PSP, DS, GBA, PC).

The big story in music news: Metallica has released the title of their new album, Death Magnetic. Fans have been assured that this album will more than make up for their last lack-luster release Saint Anger, and bring the band back to its 80's roots. Here's hoping!

If you have seen a great movie, played a great game, or heard some awesome music and want to tell others, blog about it!

Grand Theft Auto IV

salvanipour is the owner of one of the most sought after games, Grand Theft Auto IV, which was released on the 29th of April and since has sold over 5.5 million copies worldwide. It was one of the few games that I have seen in a long time receive a perfect review on most video game review sites and on many different platforms, a rarity in the video game industry. The story of the game is of a recent immigrant, Niko, who comes to America in hopes of attaining the American dream with the help of his wealthy and established cousin, Roman. Unfortunately, his cousin turns out to be a bust in America and is in pretty bad shape himself. Niko must now find a way to survive in the harsh reality of the American Underworld.

Playstation 2 Games

Student and collector IndieRichard has collected quite a few video games for the old, but still very popular, Playstation 2. His collection of games includes great titles such as God of War 1 and 2, Grand Tourismo 3 and 4, Final Fantasy, and many other popular titles for the Playstation 2.

Freaks

This month's featured item is the movie Freaks, directed by Tod Browning. It can be found in BrownJustinT's extensive movie collection. The film was originally released February 20, 1932 was re-released on DVD in 2004. From his notes section:

"Tod Browning, who directed Bela Lugosi in the original Dracula, stepped into even eerier territory with this 1932 story of betrayal and retribution in the circus. Evil trapeze artist Olga Baclanova seduces and marries a midget in the circus sideshow, hoping to inherit his wealth. But in doing so, she has crossed the wrong folks: the tightly knit group of nature's aberrations, who stick together like family--and who set out to avenge their little pal." - Marshall Fine

Hi Entertainment Collectors! I'm Casey Gannon your Entertainment Community Manager. This past month has been big in the music industry with the MTV Video Music Awards.

September's Featured Item

The Thin Blue Line

Set in a fictitious British suburb, The Thin Blue Line is the wickedly funny story of a rather down-at-heel police station headed by Inspector Raymond Fowler, a pompous, repressed but well-intentioned anachronism who wants to do the right thing but who is constantly hampered by his own shortcomings, not to mention his blundering Criminal Investigation Department colleagues. -- Roger Thomas
