Alternate Disc-Tractions: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Blu-ray, DVD review

While the length and pacing may tire younger, modern viewers now used to more frenetic films, there is little reason to not get this on Blu-ray. It looks amazing, is packed with extra features and still a fun film at its core. It’s silly, sweet and worth watching again. Especially as an adult. Find out why…

Gamertell Review: Grease: The Official Game for Nintendo Wii

Fans of Grease who are looking for familiar faces aren’t going to find them here. The songs are all newly recorded versions, and the animated characters look nothing like the Sandy, Danny and Eugene you’ve come to know and love. You’ve got to be a fan of the music, not the movie, to get into this game, because beyond the familiarity of the songs, there’s not much here to really make it all that fun.

Sing along with Glee on your Wii this Fall

Konami’s got a new Karaoke Revolution: Glee announcement that helps clarify what’s going on with the Wii sing-along title. First, it’ll be out in Fall, 2010, just in time for the second season of Glee to start airing on Fox. Second, it’ll feature multiplayer duets and harmonies if you’ve got two mics you can plug in.

The Karaoke Revolution: Glee song list is a little small though. It will feature 35 songs from the series. That’s an admirable amount for a karaoke game, but only a small segment of songs from the first series of Glee. I’ve got iTunes open on my computer now and I’ve got over 50 tracks from season one on my computer. I’m guessing the songs from the Madonna and Lady Gaga episodes didn’t make it in. Probably no songs from the Sectionals episode either.

WTF: Dance Dance Revolution: The Musical with “barely-clothed young actors and buckets of free beer”

An interesting report from GameCulture informs us that the next adaptation of video games in the mainstream will be through – gasp – musicals.

Wait, do musicals count as “mainstream?”

The point is somebody has taken the liberty to bring a the idea of video games to the stage, though it’s probably not the game you would expect it be (sorry fanboys of alien shooters and twisted plots involving Metal Gear). The game chosen is Konami’s rhythm game, Dance Dance Revolution.
