Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) knows how to make great games, and while the days of their domination of gaming through Everquest are long past, they still put forth a good lineup of fun games for E3 2011:

While fighting the Karantani an infant girl crawls towards him amid the chaos and triggers an old memory.
Two Vintage comics sell for 1 million each
Art has always been a subjective thing. Some paintings may stir strong feelings on certain people while others squint their eyes and tilt their heads trying to make out what’s on the canvas. While to some these paintings are totally bizarre, others pay amazing sums of money for them.
When we hear of art auctions where hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions are offered we tend to think of paintings or sculptures but now there is another form of art that has reached these amazing sums. Once considered cheap entertainment for children, comic books have now reached the status of works of art, and now can compete with Picasso or Van Gogh for real estate in a gallery or the living room of some millionaire.
A couple of vintage comic books were sold for one million USD this week. Oh, and I mean one million each. A copy of Action Comics No. 1 from 1938 – Superman’s first appearance – was sold for one million on Monday, and then on Thursday a copy of Detective Comics No. 27 from 1939 – Batman’s first appearance – was sold for $1,075,500 USD…
Alternate Disc-Tractions: Ruby-Spears Superman complete series DVD review
Celebrating Supe’s 50th anniversary, Ruby-Spears Productions miraculously got the rights to create Superman the animated TV series.
It exists in an awkward gap between the kitche-y late-1970s-to-early-1980s Super Friends cartoons and the slick 1990s Superman: The Animated series. It’s a series that only those who could bear the live-action Superboy TV series recall.
Superman goes far to embrace elements from print, film and even previous animated series, sometimes seeming disjointed but, by the time you get through all 13 episodes, becomes appropriate.
Alternate Disc-Tractions: Green Lantern: First Flight Blu-ray (with digital download) review
With the rumors about an upcoming Green Lantern movie that may or may not be delayed yet again, fans of the colorful Corps have to be happy with any on-screen adventure they can get. And this, my fellow poozers, is a pretty decent get.
This animated feature stars Hal Jordan (voiced by Christopher Meloni) and retells an updated version of his super hero origin story as well as Sinestro’s (Victor Garber) final steps to becoming an anti-GL. You’ll see Hal get his ring, a lot of other Green Lanterns from other space sectors, the Guardians of the Universe and Sinestro tossing out streaks of yellow might (along with the Sinestro Corps logo)…
Sneak Peek: Watchmen the movie
I attended an advance screening of Watchmen last night and, while I cannot give you a full review yet (that’ll come soon enough), here’s what I can tell you about Warner Bros. latest comic book-based flick without (major) spoilers…
Blu-ray Update: X-Men trilogy, Watchmen tie-in and digital comic coming March 2009
Just in time for the big-screen releases, dueling comic book companies put out must-have Blu-rays of popular franchises.
Three weeks after the Watchmen movie hit theaters, an animated movie, Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter, based on the story within a story concept featured in the original Watchmen 12-issue miniseries back in 1986. Also being released in March is Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic, a two-disc collection of the original twelve issues of the Watchmen comic book series.
Competing company Marvel is releasing all three X-Men feature films as a box set to preempt the May 1, 2009, release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
