This podcast is perfectly balanced. We started talking about The Dark Knight (a comic to film adaptation) which leads onto a discussion about Watchmen (a comic which has film adaptation in progress).
We ended up talking for some time on both topics, but we still had quite a number of other topics we meant to cover. So we decided do things in two parts this month. Stay tuned for another August podcast sometime soon.
You can download the podcast from the Canned Geek website.
Tom Clancy’s latest upcoming series starter H.A.W.X. was already looking technically promising before the latest news of the incorporation of US satellite imagery company GeoEye’s technology within the game engine.
Apparently Ubisoft have teamed up with GeoEye to include real life satellite images of terrains and landscapes for use in each and all 16 locations throughout the game for an “unparalleled, dog fighting experience”.
More like lazy environment artists.
They’ve said ‘all locations’, but how much and to what extent this imagery will be used per location is still unknown.

Rumor Control at Gamespot have reported a finding of Rock Band 2 classified PG in Australia’s Classification Database.
While this is a good notion of EA’s intent to eventually push Rock Band 2 to our shores apparently the original Rock Band, still to be released, received a similar classification back in ‘06. (more…)

After the success of The Dark Knight the much rumoured third Christopher Nolan Batman film has got one Batman fan (Australian artist Josh McMahon) excited enough to Photoshop some fantastic fake posters. Not only is this some brilliant artwork it’s also pretty ingenious casting; I especially like the casting of Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn. Check out all the posters below as well as extra character artwork and a surprise for any Kristen Bell fans.

A patch for Team Fortress 2 (known as the ‘Heavy Patch’ for it’s Heavy class specific updates) has just been released featuring a new game mode Arena with 5 maps, Heavy class weapons and achievements, 2 new regular maps and some nice new changes.
Click that smacking gob for Valve’s low down on the patch.
Considering this online FPS gem is available both as part of Valve’s The Orange Box and as a stand-alone package in stores or online (for $19.95) the added value now in Team Fortress 2 urges anyone who hasn’t already to join the expansive community be it on PC, XBOX 360 or Playstation 3.
While there was never really any need for this extra weight it’s definitely being welcomed. As the patches and expansions continue (more…)
A demo for the upcoming action adventure title Star Wars The Force Unleashed will be available on XBOX Live and the Playstation Network come August 21st.
Click the image for the official site.
Much hype has been surrounding this game and rightly so considering both the technical and conceptual promises surrounding force powers and our new Star Wars anti-villain, The Apprentice.
The Force Unleashed will follow a Star Wars side-story set between episodes III and IV and while small bridges in the Star Wars story are expected the use of LucasArts’ own new Digital Molecular Matter engine alongside NaturalMotion’s Euphoria physics engine (as seen in Grand Theft Auto IV) leave some impressive expectations.

Aah but what we are missing is the question.
The upcoming third person RPG Fallout 3 from Bethesda Softworks was recently refused classification in Australia by our OFLC due to particular drug references and other potential nasties such as blood use.
Well the inevitable good and bad news has occurred as Fallout 3 is now listed in a legal and edited form intended for Australian shores. Unfortunately Red Ant aren’t letting us in on exactly what’s been cut so until all forms of Fallout 3 are circling the globe assumptions are all that’s possible. (more…)
