Forum member spooie recorded this trailer when it played on Attack of the Show earlier this week. This is a new all CG Ninja Turtles movie that’s been in the works since I still had my original teeth.

The trailer is also available on MTV’s website though I’m completely incapable of playing it.

Children of the 80’s should remember well that there were in fact two cartoons with the name Ghostbusters. The difference being the cartoon based on the hilarious movie franchise was called the Real Ghostbusters. This is not the show we are talking about here. BCI, known for their releases of the original He-Man and She-Ra series, has put out a press release announcing the first box set of Filmation’s Ghostbusters on DVD. This 6 disc set will retail for 39.98 and should be available February 27th. Looks like it will be packed with lots of extras, just don’t expect to see Slimer or Gozer in any of them.

Also of note is that there were 65 episodes in all, so it will be likely that there will be one more set (volume 2) to complete the series.

I have included the lengthy Press Release after the jump.

Back up in your ass with the Dark Ressurection!

Game Watch has a couple dozen stills of the Namco fighter thats already landed on PS2 and PSP. This latest installment will allow you to play as final boss Jinpachi Mishima, who will be fun to use for all of 5 minutes until you remember he’s comically overpowered and not suitable for versus play.

The high resolution screen shots reveal little as the game is still more or less the same Tekken 5 that came out 2 years ago. Character models do not look improved. This will matter little to the player, as a new platform with the promise of a high response time and no onscreen lag is all any serious fan would ask for before moving on to Tekken 6.

Before Resident Evil and Silent Hill made us scared of the dark, Namco’s Splatterhouse was the main cause of our sleepless nights. The TG-16 version of the original was one of the first games to receive a warning label, and for good reason.

With EA sports in firm hold of the AFL, NFL, NCAA football, and just about any other conceivable real-life football alternative, similar fears were held about other sports, namely Basketball. Thankfully, the NBA realizes it can get more of a profit by having NBA Live, NBA 2k, and Sony’s NBA on shelves as well as arcade styled hoops games such as NBA street, and more notably, this 2004 entry from Midway.

One time, I saw a TV commercial for Guitar Hero II. In that commercial, two young men are shown playing different controllers side-by-side. One hero holds the Cherry version of the SG controller, which has been available through various means since the original Guitar Hero game came out, and is now commonly bundled with Guitar Hero II. The other player is shown holding a strangely-shaped white and black guitar that I’d never heard of before, and never heard of again until I saw it at my local Target store.

DiamondSelectToys has posted an update letting us know about a forthcoming wave of Stargate figures featuring the cast of Stargate Atlantis. I have inserted the announcement below.

Good news for all those rabid stargate collectors!

Stargate Atlantis Action Figures!

With the second series of Stargate SG-1 action figures shipping to stores, we’re pleased to officially announce the debut series of Stargate Atlantis action figures featuring Lt. Col. John Sheppard, Dr. Elizabeth Weir and a Wraith! Just as with past releases, there will be bonus accessories – each figure in the first two assortments will include a piece of the Atlantis gate!

A somewhat reluctant addition to the Atlantis expedition, Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard has proven himself to be a resourceful and fiercely loyal member of their team. His quick thinking and unconventional tactics are combined with uncanny instincts and an out-of-this-world sense of humor to create a leader prepared for any situation. Not to be underestimated, Dr. Elizabeth Weir was selected to command the Atlantis team after her negotiation skills impressed the military brass. Dedicated both to her mission and her crew, she has become a force to be reckoned with in the battle against the Wraith – a race of parasitic creatures who have preyed upon the Pegasus galaxy for millennia. Despite the Wraith’s numerous attempts to destroy them, the Atlantis team has proven themselves as stubborn as the Ancients.

You can expect the same articulation featured in the upcoming figures, with incredible attention to detail thanks to the artists at Jean St Jean Studios. The core assortment is scheduled to contain Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, Dr. Elizabeth Weir, a Wraith and the limited Field Ops Dr. Weir in addition to the Diamond Previews exclusive Field Ops Sheppard. Images and final details will be revealed during the upcoming American International Toy Fair!

Wired reports: Firefly Reborn as Online Universe.

I know fans are itching for more of this quickly cancelled TV cult fave. So I’ll put it up to you: is this a bad idea or a terrible idea?
