A (mostly) new trailer for the upcoming Clash of the Titans remake is making the rounds online this weekend, and if you hadn't already guessed from the previously released series of movie posters, this ain't your mom's Clash of the Titans. The new version is bigger, grittier, and features 100% more Liam Neeson-as-Zeus action than anything the 1981 original could muster. OK, so maybe that last sentence didn't make much sense, but just know with the latest trailer comes our first-ever look at the newly designed Kraken beast...and hints that the highlight of the original film will probably be the highlight of the new one.
People just love the Kraken, as evidenced by Pirates of the Caribbean, and there's nothing to stop his rage upon anyone who gets in his way...unless your packing a severed Medusa head. Watch for Clash of the Titans to release the Kraken into theaters everywhere March 26th!
If you're the type of gamer who loves their gadgets, peripherals, and occassional oddity, changes are you're more than familiar with Nyko Technologies and their myriad of third-party videogame options. Few companies have benefited from the recent console generation as they have, thanks in part to a particularly profitable string of successful controllers and battery-chargers for the Nintendo Wii. With the busy holiday shopping season in full-swing, there's never been a better time to stock up inexpensive gaming options for the player in your life...or maybe just yourself!
Be sure to check out the new interview with Nyko's director of marketing Chris Arbogast and our friends at PlaySwitch for the best shopping suggestions from Nyko themselves, which include several nods to their own Wii Remote-replacement Wand, Kamo, and even what many are calling the best videogame charge device yet, the new Charge Station IC for the Wii console.
Industry watchers and potential hopefuls will want to pay special-attention to how the company developed some of their most famous attachments, including their controversial dealings with Nintendo to developer for the console. And how does the company feel about Microsoft's upcoming Natal and Sony's motion-sensing controllers potentially changing the videogame controller market? These questions and more in this special holiday-inspired look into one of the industry's leading providers of interactive control on the cheap.
'Tis the season to be giving and greedy, and they're always more than generous when you check out the official Nyko interview over at the official PlaySwitch podcast for yourselves right HERE!
