Based on the best selling trilogy of books, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a remake of the Swedish film of the same. The film is directed by David Fincher and stars Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. Also, note that I refer to the film Internal Affairs when I really meant Infernal Affairs…because I’m an idiot.
Block Zombies (16:25 – 36:50)
Kev brings us a review of the new game Block Zombies developed by Nostatic Software for the Xbox Indie game marketplace. We also devote some time discussing the state of indie gaming as it relates to the Xbox Marketplace. Speaking of zombies, we also squeeze in some time at the end to discuss a recent screening of The Walking Dead that was presented by The Canadian Film Centre with executive producer Gale Anne Hurd.
This week on the show we have a couple of older game releases, a comic series by author Joe Hill and a new DVD release of an older Swedish film from last year.
Guitar Hero: Metallica (01:57 – 17:17)
Andrew and Vern take a look at this older selection from the Guitar Hero franchise on the Xbox 360.
Defense Grid: The Awakening (17:36 – 28:41)
Another Out of the Bin selection previously released on the PC and also out for the Xbox Live Arcade by Hidden Path Entertainment. It was recently a part of Xbox’s Deal of the Week and also released a pile of new downloadable content back in June 2010.
Locke & Key (28:52 – 40:50)
