Started watching this. English mobster show starring Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan as well as some other notables. Quite good so far, very gritty.

Wow, that' ambitious. It's like they're throwing everything in there, even the drain attached to the kitchen sink.

Things to note:
3 main characters that you can change between during any point in the game. During or between missions, watching their family life, running away from cops, on bounty hunts, doesn't matter.
Seems like you'll be able to live in this world, one of the characters has a (dysfunctional) family. During off parts you can go play sports or go to the beach or hang-gliding. Even go shopping.
Looks like everything is customizable. Want new rims on that shit box you just stole from a poor family? Sure. Want to buy designer clothes for yourself? Sure. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to upgrade family man's house too.
Plan missions yourself and decide what members of the team you take in. I'm not sure if this is plan them from scratch or they give you two options (guns blazing or sneak in quietly) and you choose one of the two.

At any rate, the game looks huge and this idea of planning your missions and switching between characters seems very cool to me.

My favourite part: After violently throwing someone into a trailer he turns to the fat lady and she says:
"Hey, how've you been?"
"Oh wonderful, and you?"
"Somewhere stuck between joyful and peachy"

Here's hoping it comes to PC.

Here's an entertaining video of stuff being destroyed, through explosives or lawnmowers or bullets, at 2500 frames per second. It's very mesmerizing watching how things react and seeing some pieces seemingly float and spin in mid air.

Music matches this perfectly.

it's a little over the top for me, but still pretty enjoyable nonetheless.

and it looks great.

going to buy this and actually play it, unlike red steel 1 which we just bought and kept it in the shelf.

looks very nice
very happy with the art direction as well as the switch from 'realistic' to cartoony cel-shaded graphics.

if wiimotion+ is as good as they say, i'll be picking this up.

Found this on Geekologie, and as you guys know me, I think this is friggin' awesome. I'm restrining myself from ordering some:

BrickArms

Essentially it's a company that makes high-quality weaponry for lego minifigs, they still have the playful rounded lego styling, but are still distinctly modeled after real-world and movie/video game weaponry. I want some!
