Martin: What made you a Predator Fan?

Martin: Whos your favorite character in the franchise and why?


Ludvig: City Hunter. Because of his look, it was different than jungle hunter, his speed, his aggressiveness, I mean it just jumped into the action and started fight in close quarters combat, that was so badass.

Dark Horse Comic review: Aliens Salvation

What do you get when you get two comic greats Dave Gibbons and Mike Mignola to do an Aliens Comics. One hell of a story thats what. A chilling story that shows while xenomorph are lethal religious devotion is downright terrifying. The crew of the Nova Maru discover their cargo is loose and the captain decides to ditch the ship taking the ships devout but unstable cook Selkirk. Both end up on an savage planet and soon discover the Maru has crashed and loosed the aliens upon the planet. Selkirk must resort to some unsettling things to survive and use's the word of god justifie his actions.

Gibbons does fantastic work making an unnerving story with out having to rely on the Aliens but the human monster. Mignola's art is perfectly set to a tone of Alien demons and the heartless void of space.
While some might find the story too short I think its the right size and does its job well.
If your a first time Aliens comic fan this may a  good start .Its short and sweet and is a standalone story.
I highly recommend this book its a great read and you can pick up the hard back edition fairly cheap.

Game over man Review: Aliens vs Predator Requiem

So I picked up a Sony PsP cause I wanted to buy a bunch of UMDs and also picked up some games and decided to make AVPR one of them. From the outset the game is not much to look at but once you get playing it is fun. Basically it follows the plot of the movie where you have to halt the infestation of Gunisson as a lone predator. You have a huge arsenal of weapons from should canons, spears and plasma pistols. The array of enemies is very weak. Warrior and PredAliens and Human soldiers and thats it. Their not that hard to fight either. The combat itself is very like Predator Concrete jungle but with a decent camera this time. The game would get old very quickly if it was not for the side missions and quests which gives it expanded life span. There's also a multiplayer mode very like the Skermish mode from the AVP pc games but only if someone else has the game and a PsP.

This game will not be for everyone but if your a fan of the movies and want a handy portal AVP game this is ones for you.




Interview with Predator Super fan Jessica Taylor



I taking some time to chat with the awesome Jessica Taylor....a super Predator fan. She knows her stuff.







Martin: Which of the Predator franchise was your favorite and why?


Jessica: Fave in franchise....believe it or not, avp. Because it was the one that came closest to letting us understand yautja culture. And although the movie didn't go into detail enough, u got to see a little of how the yautja do their right of passage. Ah....city hunter of course, he's very visually appealing







Martin: Who's your favorite character from the movies.

Jessica: City hunter.Because he was more present during the movie. More screen time, more personality, he used the human language, like he understood it, not mimicking like the jungle hunter. And his look was different, his coloring as well as his face was different. He is actually beautiful design to me. His bio mask was amazing!!!! His armour was beyond beautiful. He had more weapons, and has more of a challenge during his hunt I believe.







Martin: What do you wanna see in the next predator movie.

Jessica: Yautja culture, where they live. I want to see just a little of how they live. I also would live to see yautja children and babies, as well as a female yautja. The female yautja is said to be larger and their society is matriarchal and I also want to see the yautja live in the next film. It's completely unbelievable that any human could best a yautja

Check out some of Jessica collection.
