well, it seems like SOMEONE swallowed his soul.
I swear he is. That chalky skin, limp hair, glazed hate filled expression. Active soldier of the Army of Darkness. No doubt. That's gotta be why he opposes violence in video games. So we will all become passive, love filled, zombie food. (I swear they're behind the liberal agenda.)
Which brings me to my real article. Evil Dead, Regeneration. Just got done beating it. Wonderful, wonderful game. Violent, gory, blood soaked, yet decidedly not tasteful. My only real complaint was that it was too short.
And speaking of too short, Ted Raimi plays a wicked little half-deadite midget sidekick with a crazy bronx accent. You kick him flaming (did I mention the flamethrower? I love flamethrower) into the mouths of monsters, or use him to ride giant deadites over everything in his path.
There's tons of inside jokes and bits from the movies, and there's some cool extras you unlock by finding pages from the ole Necronomicon ex Mortis (the book o' the dead.) Not the least of these is bits of an interview where Bruce Campbell talks about the rumors of the movies Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, and the Evil Dead IV.
Lots of fun if you're one of the Bruce Campbell/Army of Darkness cult follower nut jobs like me, otherwise don't bother, the games fun, but you'll miss out on too much of the background. Go watch the movies first. Start with Army of Darkness, then watch the Evil Dead II. (Yes, I know that's backwards, but they'll get hooked on A of D, and go on from there.)
A little bit of this game, and you'll be ready to take on a zombie army. I also recommend a great Australian horror/sci-fi movie I just watched called Undead. Besides Mr. Thompson, other possible real life deadites include Ronald Reagan (well, former anyway), Al Gore, and the entire cast of Dawson's Creek (a show that ought to be in the ground, but just won't lay down and die, dammit!)
Mike Tyson is not, but I just can't get the image of him leaning back into the air, ready for a killing spree, and in that little pipsqueak chipmunk voice of his saying, "I'll swallow your soul, bitch!!!" Heh heh heh......
