The first Dead Space was a decidedly single-player affair that pitted players against the hordes of Necromorphs hiding in the shadows of space. When Dead Space 2 arrived on the scene, Visceral maintained the solo survival story, while also adding in a perfunctory multiplayer component to spice things up.

Despite the constant evolution of the series, much was made of the drastically different idea to insert cooperative play into Dead Space 3. At its heart, Dead Space 3 is the natural next stage in the growth of the franchise, which still keeps a keen focus on the solitary exploits of protagonist Isaac Clarke. Concerns raised that co-op might in any way diminish the quality or experience of Dead Space 3 were unfounded, and Visceral should be commended for how incredibly complete Dead Space 3 is from top to bottom.

I imagine the pitch meeting went like this: "Producer: We got Barbra Streisand, we got Seth Rogen, we get 'em in a car. Release it around Christmas. I mean, you gotta take grandma somewhere during the Holidays. Executive: Are there life-lessons involved? Producer: Does the Pope crap in the woods? Of course there are."

Lo and behold, a year later, these two guys found themselves at the premiere for 'The Guilt Trip,' a movie that didn't cost too much to make and won't make that much of an impact but will empower everyone involved to one day strike again.

If the world as we know it is really bound to end next month, Parkway Drive's new album Atlas is the perfect soundtrack to go under with. Following 2010's very successful Deep Blue, Atlas is the band's very powerful fourth studio album.

Mad scientists have been hard at work trying to develop a sex-drive-enhancement drug for women ever since those wily old coots emerged nearly 15 years ago with a little blue pill called Viagra. Interestingly enough, it appears as if science is no match for men dedicated to breeding a society full of hornier women, because those fiends have done it.

"Music, Love and Sex." These four words come from a track off In This Moment's new album Blood, which released this past Tuesday. It took me awhile to get into it but now that I am I love it. It is a 14-song album and each tune intertwines with at least one of the lyrics I mentioned above and together they tell a story. It will make you want to drop what you're doing and get busy with your woman, or whatever woman is next to you at the time.

On Friday night the people of New York (and surrounding states) flocked to the Times Union Center in Albany to witness Steven Tyler himself put on one hell of a show with his long-time band Aerosmith. I was privileged enough to be a part of it and found my first live experience with the band to be very entrancing and awe-inspiring. Despite the fact that Steven Tyler is almost a certifiable senior citizen, this did not hinder him in any way whatsoever. The show was simply unforgettable!

Today, I watched G.I. Joe on the tube and found it hard to buy Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a bad guy.  I mean, c'mon - guy was in Angels in the Outfield.   So, I thought - who are the best movie villains of all-time?

I only got to see about five or six performances at last weekend's Rock on the Range, but my two favorites by far were Shinedown and Slash, who made the entire trip just that much better!
