Its Capcom's 25th Anniversary

Its been 25 years since Capcom entered the gaming world as a publisher and remains as one of the premier third-party gaming companies especially at Japan. Its consistency throughout the years giving us legendary franchises like Street Fighter, Mega Man, Bionic Commando, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and recent hits like Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Sure there are some misses along the way, but Capcom continues to be a major player in the gaming industry today being perhaps the only Japanese-driven publisher to have some efforts in delivering original IPs (the upcoming Dark Void as an example) while being the major ambassador delivering downloadable games with all those HD remakes (giving the old-school a new look) like today's release of Commando 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and the highly anticipated Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Lately, Capcom is trying to bring back what was awesome back in the day to a new generation of gamers with Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando, and Resident Evil 5 while continuing to think of original franchises for the future. Then there are the sleeper hits and mistakes they recently went through with the Clover folks leaving (Viewitiful Joe, God Hand, Okami), who are now Platinum Games. Capcom is here to stay for another 25 years in the gaming industry and shows no signs of slowing down making great games for the fans that sticked by them throughout their existence.

An International Teaser for The Transporter 3

Yeah, the subtitles are in French, but The Transporter 3 is coming soon starring everyone's favorite Euro badass Jason Staham. Expect more of the same in this one with some crazy plot that is an excuse for Staham to kick more ass in this film (There's an another new female lead in this one).

Speaking of movies, a new trailer is up for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is at Yahoo now.

Music Video Roundup (6/11/08)

The Music Roundup this week is another set of new videos or stuff I'm feeling or hating now...


We start off with the new song from the late 80s / early 90s boy band New Kids on the Block called "Summertime." I don't know if this comeback is worth it and this song seems straight out from the boy band age in the late 90s and early 2000s. I'm totally not feeling this one, but good try on the comeback boys or I should say men who are like in their late 30s.

The Offspring's comeback is something I can get behind for with their video for "Hammerhead." This one is very weird with the band not in it all and a story is trying to be told in it. I'm not really a fan of the song, but I'm interested in their new album since The Offspring is still cool I guess.

Madonna's "Give It to Me" is her new video off the Hard Candy album with this song produced by the one and only Pharrell. It is definitely another dance hit to add to the plethora of other dance hits Madonna has done during the years ("Ray of Light," "Music," "Sorry,"and recently "4 Minutes" as examples).

Lloyd aka "Get It Shawty" is back in a new video for "Girls Around the World" with Lil Wayne (the hottest rapper alive - aka overrated to me). It definitely feels like another Lloyd hit and a chill song to bust out at the clubs I guess.

So The Carter III is out this week and as mentioned, I'm not a Lil Weezy fan and if it does a million on the billboard charts next week, that would be crazy.
