Bioshock Infinite Release Date - October 16

2k Games just announced that the hugely anticipated Bioshock Infinite will "revolutionize action storytelling" on October 16, well, at least for its North American fans, the rest of the world can pick it up on the 19th, including the PC version.

I've never been a huge fan of Bioshock, I just couldn't get into the games. Despite my lack of enthusiasm towards previous titles Infinite does indeed look promising and I am looking forward to its release!

Top Gun 2 gets a writer
So it seems that for some reason, that I can only assume is the result of excessive use of narcotics and alcohol, plus a few strippers and Tom Cruises alien friends, Top Gun 2 has moved one step closer to actually being a movie.


Peter Craig, known best for penning 'The Town', has signed on to write the sequel to the 1986 hit(?) Top Gun. The movie will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Skydance Productions with I believe Tom Cruise to be returning as Maverick. They at least seem to be taking it seriously, but does any one really want another Top Gun movie? It did extremely well upon release, grossing $354 million worldwide and I'm sure a few people still remember it fondly, but its mostly seen as a homoerotic pile of dog poop now-a-days. Plus its not if Cruise himself is the star he used to be, I suppose only time will tell what exactly will happen with this movie, but personally, I am not looking forward to it.

Ghostbusters 3 will definitely have no Bill Murray  
Dan Aykroyd recently had an interview with The Telegraph, in which he confirmed that "It’s a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, but there is still interest from the studio". I have mixed feelings about this news, Ghostbusters is an awesome franchise (mostly) but I think it is difficult to disagree that much of its success is due to Bill Murray, so a Ghostbusters movie without him...will it work?


Thankfully Aykroyd did say that “We’re not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise. The script has to be perfect. I’m the cheerleader, but I’m only one voice in the matter". So if this project does go ahead it should at least be done right and not simply a way to make some quick cash.
