    You know they had to get a big name/quality actor on par with Robert Downey Jr. to play the Mandarin. Still wished they could have gotten James Woods for Justin Hammer in the second one. Both looks and shadiness of the character he was a perfect fit IMO. They could have had an unknown or lesser actor rather than Mickey Rourke for Whiplash though.

    iron man 3 trailer is out!

    It looks really good and if this is setting a tone with phase 2, I have to say it will be a more serious one at that.

    I'll admit I wasn't that excited for this one at first, but after watching the trailer 3 or 4 times now it is safe to say I can't wait.

    Ben Kingsley may out shine the actor for iron man.
    not hard to do though.

    I put him up there with Patrick Stewart

    One of those memorable actors that makes it hard to watch a sequel without

    When the new xmen didn't have Stewart as Xavier I was very put off

    Quick game recommendation: X-Com Enemy Unknown. It is a alien invasion strategy game for PC, 360, and PS3

    glad u like it

    ive been playing x-com clones for quite some time now on PC (Ufo:extra terrestrials, UFO: Afterlight), but it's great to see a AAA successor to the original classic from the 90s.

    very addictive too :partyman:

    relying on veterans and getting so used to running missions with them, only to lose them suddenly forever, is harrowing

    The Old Man is in it. He's just not old yet. :p Episode 2 was secretly hidden online as well if interested.

    I have been playing the ironman mode (were you get only one save) It's fun and fustrating to lose the units you worked so hard to develop. But thats probably what makes it a good game.

    it's one of them

    reminds me of the original Ghost Recon/Rainbow six for PC, where when a unit died, they were gone forever and replaced with new operatives that sucked.

    after each mission, you had a chance to level your guys up, so you worked hard and planned missions to the T.

    Thanks so much for posting these. I didn't know anything about them. Makes me want to go back and watch BG from the beginning. I'm wondering if anyone watched Caprica and if it's worth getting into.

    Caprica is NOT battlestar: Galactica, i'll say that

    :eek:

    the characters made BSG so much that it's hard for me to watch anything without Gaius, Starbuck, Edward James Olmos etc

    Caprica was just okay in comparison with the updated BSG series IMO. In terms of understanding how and why the Cylons came about and the references about Adama's family that have been made so far in Blood & Chrome it's worth watching but not necessary.
