Goro Miyazaki, son of Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke), is directing an animated version of the Tales of Earthseas. Not sure if he's focusing on mearly the first book of the searies, written by Ursula K. Le Guin, or combing multiple books like Sci Fi did in thier awful live action film last year.
Never seen anything by Goro Miyazaki, but if he's anything like his father the movie should be good. The film will be released by Studio Ghibli and will be released in July in Japan.

Silent Hill Trailer Hits The Web!
Silent Hill is a series of games that have been released on the Playstation mainly. So yes it is a video game based movie, but this one looks like its been done right. If the trailer is anything to go by they have managed to capture the feel and suspense of the games. The story is original, but considering the only thing the 4 games had in common was they took place in Silent Hill thats ok. An orginal story will likely work better than trying to transfer one of the stories from the game which people have already played thru and know whats going to happen.
Anyway here is the link to the trailer, enjoy.

Sony EQ2 Press Release About EverQuest Prophecy of Ro
The gods have returned and the mortal realm shifts with their influence. But a new presence walks among the gods, a malevolent force released into godhood by the follies of mortals. Unbound by the laws of the pantheon, it leaves corruption in its wake and threatens to bring the entire pantheon crumbling down. The only hope for Norrath hangs on the very mortals who have unleashed this upheaval. EverQuest Prophecy of Ro includes the following features:
* Player-set Traps: Control your battles before they even begin by deceiving your opponents with a new arsenal of player-set traps!
* Spheres of Influence: Transform the world of Norrath by creating magical spheres of influence to thwart your enemies or aid your allies. These artifacts will create a localized area where the rules of the game can change.
* Destructible Objects: Interact with and destroy pieces of the game world leading to a new level of interactivity within the game. Chop down doors, tumble walls, and destroy encampments!
* Buff Filters: Decide which buffs you would rather auto-decline with the new buff filtering system!
* 8 New Bank Spaces
* New Missions: Battle your way through over 30 new missions.
* New Creatures, New Environments and New Encounters: More than 25 unique creatures, 7 Zones, and 6 Small Instances.
* New Spells, Tasks, Disciplines and Trade skills

1up.com has a review of the highly anticipated
Kingdom Hearts 2.
In thier review they say, "
If the first Kingdom Hearts was a crazy experiment, then the sequel is the final product, refined and polished in dozens of small-but-important ways. One of the most obvious improvements is the game's massively higher budget; though the first looked nice, Kingdom Hearts II is one of the best looking games the PS2 has ever -- or will ever -- see. From photorealistic models to "I can't believe it's not PS3" massive battles, the game convinces the aging PS2 hardware to do things that seem nearly impossible."
Kingdom Hearts 2 is due out this Spring, and I can't wait to play it. The first
Kingdom Hearts was an amazing game and this one is sure to top it.
