Cowboy Bebop Remastered Review

There are few things in this world that can automatically connect you to an emotion response.  Sounds are one way and when I heard the bass start to twang and then the voice counting down "3,2,1 let's jam" and the horns kicked in I suddenly had a warm happy feeling come over me. I was back in my old apartment watching Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and it was the first time I saw Spike, Jet, Faye and Ed grace my tv screen. It was magical as I had been out of Anime for so long. And this wonderful series of bounty hunters and rocket ships brought me back to the genre. And it brought me back in style.

Cowboy Bebop is one of those timeless anime classics. It combines just the perfect amount of action and wit with a dramatic element that connects you and the characters.

Madman has presented a beautiful new set of the first 13 sessions of this great show. The updated BluRay versions brighten the colors and fill the stereo with the great sounds of that wonderful jazz soundtrack. 

BRING ON SESSIONS 14 to 26!!!!

There is not a lot here in terms of extras but that is ok because do you really want to hear a load of commentaries while you are trying to enjoy the story. Ok sometimes I do but here not so much. I just want the fun wild ride that is Cowboy Bebop. There is a beautiful art book included with all the main cast and the extras. Wish could get some of the prints for my walls.

So do I recommend this new updated BluRay version of the crazy bounty hunters? Yes, yes I do. So stop reading this and go buy it already.

Thanks Madman this BluRay made my dull week. You are welcome to send more. Now on to more Bebop.

Developers for “Forza Motorsport 5” visited the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans race at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France, together with Audi Sport Team Joest, the most successful team in modern endurance racing, as they prepared to defend their 2012 title in the preeminent endurance race. Commonly known as the Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency, 24 Hour of Le Mans race teams and vehicles have to balance speed, technology, and perseverance in a race that is widely regarded as one of the toughest in all of motorsports.

The video features interviews with racing drivers from Audi Sport Team Joest, including Tom Kristensen, 9 time winner, 24 hours of Le Mans, and fellow Audi Sport Team Joest R18 e-tron quattro drivers Lucas Di Grassi, Andre Lotterer, and Benoît Tréluyer along with the Audi Sport's head of the Le Mans Prototype project, Christopher Reinke and “Forza Motorsport 5” Creative Director Dan Greenawalt.

<iframe width="853" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9JStqB3FoKs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Konami Digital Entertainment has used Halloween to update fans on key new elements to its vampiric Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and has outlined a series of pre-order incentives ahead of its February 28th release.

As attention turns to all things supernatural, Konami has released the packshot and a new themed trailer for the eagerly-awaited Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.

Named Dracula's Vengeance Trailer, Konami has issued an all-new trailer, focusing on Dracula as the game’s central anti-hero. Exploring the definitive vampire, the trailer focuses on the unwilling Dracula as he is charged with engaging an even more evil force: Satan himself.

Konami has also outlined the content for exclusive special editions and collectible content, available to pre-order.

• Leading the line is a ‘Dracula’s Tomb Premium Edition’ which is beautifully encased in a tomb casing, contains a copy of the game, four highly detailed miniature figurines designed by comic book artist Neil Googe (Judge Dredd, Wildcats), an A4 hardcover art book, and an exclusive Steelbook. This stunning item is limited to just 30,000 units across Europe and will be available in the UK exclusively via GAME.

• Konami has also created an alternative steelbook edition for pre-orders from Zavvi, which is encased in a metallic cover featuring an exclusive image of its central figure, Dracula. Those pre-ordering will also receive the alternate ‘Premium Dracula’ suit, a ‘Dark Dracula’ costume, or a ‘Relic Rune’ pack, that adds a wealth of relic items to the user’s inventory, dependent on where it is pre-ordered.
