Dark Of The Moon – Vortex

Dark Of The Moon - Vortex

Seibertron makes mention of a Tomahawk-repaint apparently called Vortex. While the name makes it quite clear this is supposed to be a G1 Combaticon homage, the grey and blue colour-scheme of the figure reminded me of Battletrap instead.

Which in turn reminds me that Hasbro still has yet to produce anything as cool as the Duocons. I guess they kind of tried to do so during Energon. But still two alts, one robot is better. Wait a sec…

I’ll probably pick up Vortex guy together with Skyhammer as some of the few not-shockingly-horrible Dark Of The Moon figures. Yes, I’m aware they’re both helicopters. Apparently, rotor blades bring out the best in Bayformers.

GBU – Mortal Kombat (PS3)

Mortal Kombat

Good

  • Nostalgia values are off the scale.
  • Brilliant bar-raising story mode for a fighting game.
  • Chockfull of challenges and unlockables.

Bad

  • The fighting system may be a bit too accesible.
  • Challenge Tower can be rather unfair.
  • Background music is barely audible.

Ugly

  • “We’re rebooting the entire franchise! It’s now better than ever and far more accesible. So what do we do with that annoying final boss Shao Kahn?” “-Make him such a cheap c*nt that he makes Seth and God Rugal pale in comparison?” “EXCELLENT!”
