Looking Back On Gamescom: The Biggest Surprises, The Strangest Games, And Why This Year Trumped Last Year
Game play over cinematics. [youtube]http://youtu.be/LyaYDROciCw[/youtube] Then you have Ninja Theory's Hellblade, the first attempt at an independently-developed game with AAA production values.  The game itself (such as it is, since we only have the trailer above) doesn't interest me much, but what it stands for does.  With mainstream game development becoming more and more high-risk, high-reward, the[...]

The Strain – A Panel By Frame Comparison Between The Comic And The Show
But since books are comics without pretty pictures, it wouldn't make sense to compare visuals of the books to the show (that, and I haven't read the books, only the comics). Therefore, I decided to do a little comparing of the imagery from the first episode of Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan's The Strain, which[...]

First Footage From Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain In New Trailer
We've seen all sorts of creepy imagery used to promote FX's adaptation of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain, but I believe this new :30 trailer is the first we're seeing of actual footage from the show itself. Looks appropriately scary enough, though it doesn't top bugs crawling into eyeballs in the creepy department[...]

Set a little over a decade in the future, Guillermo del Toro ignored futuristic styles in favour of a mid-20th century aesthetic. As an outspoken pacifist, del Toro was keen to remove any militaristic overtones from the movie Hence the Jaeger crews all having ranks like "Marshall" and "Ranger", and the general lack of a military[...]
Pacific Rim — The Bleeding Cool Review
Stuff like that. Instead of frittering money away on big-name actors director Guillermo Del Toro has put every penny of the (reported) $180 million budget on the screen He built a practical set for the Jaeger cockpits, and then larded Iron Man style CG control panels on top The result is a slick, futuristic, but slightly[...]
Two TV Spots For Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim
Jessy Williams writes for Bleeding Cool. I don't know about you, but I'm a huge Guillermo Del Toro fan, and as long as Pacific Rim doesn't go down the Transformers route with some great combat scenes, but little else, then I'm in. The story is another apocalyptic one and sees the human race fighting for survival against[...]
