Hopefully this will be the GOOD 3D Castlevania game I’ve been waiting for.
As a massive fan of the series this reboot under the watchful eye of Hideo Kojima (video game legend & Metal Gear creator) I’m confident that he wont disappoint.

A really cool short film marking a journey of a package from London to Helsinki with a recorder inside, I like the animation as it has a really chalky surreal quality to it.

Eero Johannes - Leisi Elli
I came across this track recently by Eero Johannes a figure in the Scandinavian 8-bit hip hop genre of Skweee, I don’t know much about the scene but this track has tingled my interest.

What do you get when you cross Little Big Planet with Mega Man II? You get the very good looking downloadable game in Mega Man Universe which seems to have a very interesting and comprehensive modding elements including character and level editor.
It will vey cool to see what people will create with this.

I’ve been a fan of the Tekken series from the start and controversially still think that Tekken 4 is the highlight of the series, now we have a sequel to a favourite of mine (reminds me of playing the original in the common room at college) Tekken Tag Tournament 2! Now that’s some video game aliteration!

iOS 4.2 looks like it will now have a new CoreMIDI feature that will enable the iPad to interface with MIDI instruments, this could really be an interesting avenue for musicians, producers and DJ’s. I will be great to see apps and new uses that will come from this.
DAM-FUNK - ADOLESCENT FUNK
Modern day funkster Dam-Funk has been on my radar for the past few months and I’m excited that he’s releasing a collection of his early work from 1988-1992 called “Adolescent Funk” on Stones Throw Records, this sounds retro fresh!

Devil May Cry is reborn as DmC, with UK based outfit Ninja Theory.
This is great news as I’m a massive fan of the Devil May Cry series and also thought Ninja Theory’s previous game on the PS 3 Heavenly Sword was a fantastic launch game, I think this could be amazing even though I’m not 100% on the new look Dante though.
