Playing video games is very fun and enjoyable, and once in I a while I will hear a song I really like. This is my list of my favorite video game music and songs.

Final fantasy VII. The classical versions:
• Aerith's theme
• Tifa's theme
• Main theme of FF7
• Fighting
• The Final fantasy advent children metal theme of one winged angel

Dissidia Final Fantasy:
• Cosmos
• Chaos: Last battle 1,2,3- By Your Favorite Enemies
• Keeping the peace

Kingdom Hearts:
•Dearly beloved
•simple and clean

I really like the Chaos: Last battle songs by Your Favorite Enemies. The best way I would describe them would be hauntingly beautiful.

Naughty Bear: Cute but vicious

When I first saw the trailer for Naughty bear, I thought Aw, what adorable bear characters. Then suddenly the bear started impaling other bears with deadly weapons. Well, that was unexpected. Although, you'd think with a title like Naughty Bear I would have expected that.

The game is set on an island where teddy bears live in harmony. The main character, Naughty Bear, is a shabby teddy bear who has a tendency to be mischievous, which earns him the dislike of the other bears. Like the other teddy bears, he does not speak but instead shows his emotions through a variety of sounds and facial expressions. His actions are influenced by an unseen narrator with a demeanor reminiscent of that of a young children's television show host.

Naughty Bear is the only bear on Perfection Island that is not invited to Daddles'es birthday party. He tries to be nice anyway and even crafted a gift for the occasion, hoping he and Daddles could become friends. When two other bears, Chubby and Giggles, saw that Naughty had a present, they laughed at him. This made Naughty sulk back to his house. He then decides to get revenge on the bears.

Canadian man replaces his false eye with bionic camera eye

This is quite possible one of the coolest and craziest things I've ever heard of. I guess this is a step closer to people become cyborgs.



Eyeborg Phase II from eyeborg on Vimeo.

"When Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence was a kid, he would peer through the bionic eye of his Six Million Dollar Man action figure. After a shooting accident left him partially blind, he decided to create his own electronic eye. Now he calls himself Eyeborg.

Spence's bionic eye contains a battery-powered, wireless video camera. Not only can he record everything he sees just by looking around, but soon people will be able to log on to his video feed and view the world through his right eye."

3D Dot Game Heroes: Looks like LegoLand

When I first saw 3D Dot Game Heroes, my fist thought were it looks as if everything is made of Legos and, the gameplay looks a lot like The Legend of Zelda. The game's gameplay is really similar to the retro 8-bit games of the past. Players move characters from screen to screen exploring dungeons, battling enemies, collecting items and solving puzzles reminiscent of the past.

The game also lets you create any character model you can imagine using the game's 3D sprite editor. You can even collect monsters to be featured in an encyclopedia which is done through beating the monster on its head with a book until its profile shows up in the encyclopedia's pages (That's pretty funny). The loading screens in the game also feature recreated box arts of classic video games using the game's 3D sprites.

3D Dot Game Heroes is an Action-adventure video game developed by Silicon Studio and published by From Software in Japan, Atlus in North America and by SouthPeak Games in Europe. The game was released in Japan on November 5, 2009, in North America on May 11, 2010 and in Europe on May 14, 2010, only for the PlayStation 3.

Bioshock live action movie?

Universal studios has planned to put Bioshock, the horror first-person shooter video game, on the big screen. The movie will be based off the 2007 Bioshock and was planned to be directed by directed by Gore Verbinski, who is known for directing the movies Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mexican, and The Ring.

Unfortunately, in a series of events that have happened in the past few months, the film had been put on hold for reasons such as, A: the budget being too big (they wanted to make it at a budget of $160 million dollars) and B: the director and studio disagreeing on where the movie should be shot, as Verbinski wanted to make it outside of the U.S. while Universal did not. After a series of these disagreements, Universal decided to have Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who directed the sequel 28 Weeks Later and Intacto. In doing this, they hope to make the movie have a budget around $100 million dollars and keep to their demands. Verbinski, however, will still be a producer.

As of now, it is in the production phase. So, it looks like the film is being made, and that it should, hopefully, come out in the next few years.
