The best SNES RPG comes to DS...

We end the day with this countdown timer for a highly anticipated remake that every RPG fan has been waiting for. Yes, Chrono Trigger is coming to the Nintendo DS and it will be official when the timer stops. For those who don't know, Chrono Trigger is one of the best games of all-time on the Super Nintendo. It was a RPG that changed the rules during its time and still loved among its fans for more than ten years. Even though the sequel has not happened yet, CT is getting a second chance after all with this DS remake. Does this mean it won't make an appearance on the Wii Virtual Console anymore now that this DS version is happening? Honestly, I never played Chrono Trigger, but I know how its greatness changed gaming and the fans have been clamoring for a remake or a sequel. Expect this to be official at E3 later this month with a trailer and maybe a 3D facelift like Final Fantasy III and IV on DS.

Curve Them Bullets = Wanted is Awesome!!!

I saw Wanted tonight and it is pretty awesome (spoilers ahead). From beginning to end, this movie kept me going throughout with so many OMG like action scenes. James McAvoy as Wesley Gibson, the protagonist of this flick, is entertaining throughout with the humor and the guy he was in the end being the killing machine like his father. Angelina Jolie as Fox was awesome as well and what can u expect from her from those commercials and trailers with she comes out of the pool naked and does the whole curving bullets thing. Morgan Freeman once again is amazing like in every movie he is in (That shoot this mother****** line is funny and coming from him was just nuts everyone laughed). With all promos and trailers seen, I did not expect the plot twist that caused Wesley to go on the rampage against the Fraterenity. If I had to compare the storyline of this to a recent game, it had to be the Saints Row games with the similar plot twist (if u played all of Saint's Row) and getting revenge in the end (that's the upcoming Saint's Row 2). All the action scenes in Wanted are just intense and awesome with that gun combat and other things. Throughout the movie, u felt for Wesley being the normal person with nothing special and then becomes the assassin he is in the end especially in scenes at his accounting job with standing up to his boss and nailing his best friend with the keyboard (A gif of that is in the NeoGAF thread). I also have to give a shout out to my boy Common as he keeps getting in good action movies even though in this one he had a minimized role. It is clear that McAvoy, Jolie, and Freeman are the stars of this movie and they delivered the goods.

Wanted is perhaps my favorite movie of the year until The Dark Knight later this month. As to end this post like the movie thanks to Wesley, "WTF have u done lately?"

Rock Band 2 songs already revealed??

Thanks to the NeoGAF Rock Band thread for this as the screenshot above is a possibility of some of the songs that will be in Rock Band 2 (G4's X-Play apparently revealed this pic). The songs in particular I'm looking forward to are "Chop Suey" by System of a Down, "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead, "Everlong" by Foo Fighters, "Anyway You Want It" by Journey, and "Give It Away" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't know about the other three songs there that much and there's two DLC songs in the bottom of the pic as well. If this is true regarding songs for RB2, then this is a pretty good start towards an awesome soundtrack for its September launch. I guess we'll find out more at E3 later this month.

UPDATE - This is another rumor but thanks to NeoGAF again, maybe more songs are revealed for RB2. (Poster got it from ScoreHero)

Linkin Park - "One Step Closer"
Megadeth - "Peace Sells"
Rage Against the Machine - "Testify"
The Guess Who - "American Woman"
Billy Idol - "White Wedding"
Allanis Morrisette - "You Oughta Know"
Jethro Tull - "Aqua Lung"
Joan Jett - "Bad Reputation"
Nirvana - "Drain You"
Alice in Chains - "Man in the Box"
Soundgarden - "Spoonman"

Okay this is getting way better with LP, Allanis (The ladies will like that), Rage, and Soundgarden.

UPDATE 2 - The Rock Band 2 leakage continues with another list, but this list has 50 songs in it. Wikipedia has that leaked list here. Pretty good list spreading among the years of rock. Some of my favorites that are new are.

• Modest Mouse - "Float On"
• Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"
• Interpol - "PDA"
• Jane's Addiction - "Mountain Song"
• The Offspring - "Come Out and Play" (Rock Band 1 DLC still?)
• Lit - "My Own Worst Enemy"
• Blink 182 - "Damnit"
• Paramore - "That's What You Get"
• Kansas - "Carry On My Wayward Son"
• Smashing Pumpkins - "Today"
• Presidents of the USA - "Lump"

I think Harmonix has said the whole list will be announced at E3 this month, which I wouldn't bet on that.
