More Online FPS games When Arrow Academy announced they were releasing my favourite David Fincher film, THE GAME, on Blu-Ray, I screamed with joy. THE GAME, starring Michael Douglas, Sean Penn and Deborah Kara Unger, is one of the finest films I’ve ever seen, and, whilst not a perfect movie, it’s one of the most original stories that I’ve ever come across. I remember first catching it on TV years after its release, and had turned it on partway through the movie, purely by accident when channel-hopping, so I wasn’t 100% of the storyline. All I saw was Michael Douglas and Sean Penn on-screen and the series of unnerving events that followed and I was hooked. It was nothing like I’d ever seen before and it excited me because of that… and also because of Michael Douglas who, in my eyes, is one of the greatest actors on screen. Despite his large mansion and intimidating bank balance, multimillionaire Nicholas Van Orton is haunted by the childhood memory of his father's suicide. On the day he reaches the same age his father was when he died, Nicholas receives an unconventional birthday present from his estranged brother Conrad (Sean Penn): an invitation to play a mysterious "game," the aim and rules of which are kept secret. As the game unfolds, Nicholas suddenly finds himself in a fight for his life, assisted by the enigmatic Christine (Deborah Kara Unger, Crash) but unsure of where to turn and who to trust. Arrow Games, at their core, are about mastering the art of archery in a variety of imaginative settings. An arrow, typically, is a shafted projectile that is shot with a bow. The games that feature these weapons demand precision, timing, and often a keen understanding of angles and physics. These games can be surprisingly varied, with their challenges ranging from simple target practice to intricate puzzles that involve launching arrows with pinpoint accuracy. Read more .. We meet him on his 48th birthday, significant in that his father was that age when he died. Due to this and his usual indifference to trivial social events, Nicholas isn’t happily celebrating. Instead, it’s business as usual, until his wayward brother Conrad (Sean Penn) appears. The pair take lunch together and Conrad gives his brother a mysterious gift, a certificate for an exclusive entertainment experience, run by Consumer Recreation Services (CRS). Curious, particularly after overhearing some of his fellow health club members talk highly of it, Nicholas heads to the CRS offices and signs up.

Co-writer John Brancatovery is refreshingly honest in his interview. He said he wasn’t happy with how the end turned out on camera, for instance, though he grew more comfortable with it over time. The supplements then conclude with a collection of material about the trailers for the film. First is a teaser trailer, which involved a CGI marionette, and it’s accompanied by an optional commentary featuring digital animation supervisor Richard “Dr.” Baily. There’s also a “Teaser Render Test” which presents the rough wire frame model for the animation with Baily again talking about it. There’s also the final theatrical trailer with an optional commentary by Fincher, who talks about how difficult it was dealing with the marketing people and his desire to not spoil the whole movie in it. Usually trailer sections are fairly uninteresting but the added commentaries yet again add some more value. And that’s unfortunately it. I’m happy Criterion carried over all of their material from the LaserDisc, but even for their LaserDisc days the supplements are fairly slim. Since 15 years have passed it would have been great to have some scholarly material, maybe even material featuring admirers and detractors of the film, and maybe even some more insight into Fincher’s career. But of course this could have been out of Criterion’s hands and this is all Fincher wants included for the film. Disappointing but again everything looks to be here, and the material is at least fairly strong. Closing The two discs don’t step on each other’s toes too much either. The original DVD is more focussed on contributions from the filmmakers, with Fincher, Douglas, Savides, Beecroft and Haug providing a feature-length commentary as well as commentaries on some behind the scenes footage and featurettes.It was released on June 15, 2016 on Steam, received DLC over a year later, and a sequel almost two years later.

Welcome to the Game was meant to be a small side project of Reflect Studios to their much bigger upcoming title, Rides with Strangers. Development, mostly behind Reflect Studios' Adam Flatau, happened throughout early 2016, and a small roster of popular YouTubers were sent demos of the game to record their first impressions and spread the word of the game's development throughout late May 2016. The full list of The Game Awards nominees for 2023 was revealed in mid-November. Six games are up for the Game of the Year award, which typically closes out the show: Please note, there may be spoilers contained in this review, but I’ve tried to highlight obvious ones.Made in between Seven and Fight Club, David Fincher's edge-of-your-seat thriller The Game remains arguably his most underappreciated film, bolstered by an exceptional star performance by Michael Douglas. The text intro to the 4:3 version of the film is the hidden gem in the set. It offers a clear, fascinating description of the technical issues faced with home releases at the time, as well as in shooting in anamorphic wide-screen and how Fincher’s filming preference for Super 35 helped offer a better option for creating a 4:3 version of the film without going down the ‘pan and scan’ route. This whole version is included (in SD) for you to see the difference. I must admit, I didn’t sit and watch it all, but I skimmed through and it does have a slightly different feel. Another of the features I enjoyed, which is essentially video clips accompanied by captions, is the video essay by Neil Young. It highlights bits you may have missed about the film as well as providing details on some of the actors who’s performances and roles helped make the film what it is.

Standing at 6 feet tall and having an effortlessly cool demeanour, Yusaku Matsuda stood head and shoulders above his contemporaries in every sense of the term. His baby face masked by the always present sunglasses and a slender physique gave manga and anime artists their template for the next two decades, for he truly was the embodiment of characters like Spike Spiegel ( Cowboy Bebop) and Kenshiro ( Fist of the North Star)(Editor: Aokiji from One Piece, too). Yusaku Matsuda was too cool to be real, and never was he cooler than in Toru Murakawa’s Game Trilogy.

Released between 1978 and 1979, each film in the trilogy gives a different look and feel to the assignment. Each follow the exploits of the notorious assassin Shohei Narumi, what starts as quite formulaic soon turns to chaotic carnage as bloody violence is served like hors d’oeuvres at a party. What will be at this year’s Game Awards? In terms of new reveals, organizers haven’t started teasing which games (or video game-adjacent TV shows or movies) might have reveals. But the 2022 Game Awards was a big one, with announcements and reveals from Death Stranding 2, Hades 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Judas, Final Fantasy 16, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. There were other surprises, including appearances from Al Pacino and The Last Of Us stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. In this career-defining triptych, Matsuda is Shohei Narumi, an ice cool hitman of few words, a steely trigger finger, and a heart of stone, hired in The Most Dangerous Game by a company bidding for a lucrative government air defence contract to take out the competition. In The Killing Game, Narumi finds himself caught in the midst of violent yakuza gang warfare, while his own brutal past catches up with him in the form of two beautiful women still bearing the emotional scars of his past assignments. In The Execution Game, Narumi falls for a mysterious saloon bar chanteuse who may or may not be part of the same, shadowy underworld organisation as the rival hitmen he is employed to rub out.
