This would totally get me to rock climb more.

Time Trial is a new interactive rock climbing video game produced by Randori, and hosted at Brooklyn Boulders Somerville twice each month. Players are given the opportunity to compete in a dynamic setting featuring augmented reality on a climbing wall. You have never seen anything quite like this before.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy II http://mitchmckenna.com/post/13476/mortal-kombat-legacy-ii-episode-1

The second season of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy webseries (check out season 1 here) is out now. Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the 10-episode series is hosted by Machinima, who has made the entire season available at once.

Among the show's cast is Ian Anthony Dale, who reprises his role as Scorpion from the first season, and Cary Tagawa returning as Shang Tsung. Tagawa played Shang Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film so it's pretty cool to see him in it. Other actors include Harry Shum Jr. (Glee) as Kuai Liang and Brian Tee (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) as Liu Kang.

Spartan Ops - Halo 4 Video Series http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12088/spartan-ops-episode-1

Up till now halo, like most FPS's, has been 2 parts, the campaign and the multiplayer, but with Halo 4 a new option has emerged; Spartan Ops. Spartan Ops is an additional, episode based, campaign for you to play solo or with your friends, outside of the main campaign that follows Master Chief. Check out what other episodes have come out on the Halo Waypoint - Spartan Ops playlist.

Halo 4 Launch Trailer 'Scanned' http://mitchmckenna.com/post/11938/official-halo-4-launch-trailer-scanned-long-form

Halo 4 live-action CGI trailer produced by David Fincher and directed by Tim Miller (the same guys who did the other amazing Halo live-action trailers like Forward Unto Dawn, Deliver Hope, and We Are ODST. I'll admit I didn't play Reach much, but I'm starting to get excited for another Halo game.

Master Chief's mind is violated by a powerful new enemy, who in searching for Chief's weaknesses, finds the source of his strength.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy http://mitchmckenna.com/post/9402/mortal-kombat-legacy-mortal-kombat-legacy-ep-1-brand-new-live-action-mk-series

On June 8, 2010, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth surfaced on YouTube amid confusion about its origins and intentions. The director Kevin Tancharoen said he'd been thinking about a Mortal Kombat reboot for some time, so he wrote and directed the film over a weekend without a studio's involvement. With the help from friends and colleagues, he did it with only a $7,500 budget. It accidentally got leaked but received an overwhelming positive reception from fans. Tancharoen met with Warner Bros. executives, who agreed to fund a web series based titled Mortal Kombat Legacy. Episode 1 is below, the entire series can be found on the youtube channel.

Pixels - Video Games Destroy New York City http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7120/pixels-by-patrick-jean

Watch, as classic video games come to life and wreak havoc on New York City. It's a little bit Ghostbusters, a little bit Godzilla, and all kinds of great!

Pixels is a perfect example of digital filmmaking in the internet age. It's a great concept that's executed perfectly. Almost too perfectly! The collision of retro gamer nostalgia and New York City (more like New Blog City!) is perfectly calibrated for viral success.
