Just a small update today. I found a couple of high quality pictures from yesterday's MTV Total Request Live. Guests were Shakira (promoting her new single Don't Bother) and actress Charlize Theron (read more about her and the new movie Aeon Flux in my blog entry from Monday).
From the creators of the Diablo series comes Hellgate:London, a new game that's being described as a cross between a first-person shooter and an adventure role-playing game. The game is set in the near-future city of London right after hordes of demons has started to appear from the deep. As in Diablo, the game will feature randomized dungeons & items and a skill-tree for character development. Hellgate let you choose from a first-person view or to play in a third-person perspective. Both of them have their advantages depending on the situation.
At the start of the game you can choose from a number of classes but so far only the Templar class has been revealed. Templars seems to be a cross between a melee and a ranged type of class because they are good at both using all kinds of body armor and can wield a weapon in either hand (for example one ranged and one melee weapon). They also have skills that focus on "auras", a type of energy fields that radiate from the character and can either hinder nearby enemies or strengthen nearby foes.
The game is developed by Flagship Studios. Read the latest Hellgate news here. Also, you can find more information about the game by reading the Gamespot or Gamespy previews. Hellgate:London is still in production so no release dates has been set yet.
Charlize Theron stars in the new action/adventure Aeon Flux that opens up this Friday. The movie is set 400 years in the future where Azon Flux (a rebellion secret agent played by Charlize) is sent on a mission to assassinate a government leader. Aeon Flux is based on characters created by Peter Chung from the animated series showed on MTV.
The movie is directed by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight) and also stars Marton Csokas (Kingdom of Heaven), Jonny Lee Miller (Mindhunters) , Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) and Amelia Warner (Winter Passing). Read more about the movie on the excellent official homepage.
It also features a few trailers and other media.
Here's a couple of promo pictures from the movie. Most of them are of Charlize but they also feature a few on Marton Csokas, Sophie Okonedo and Amelia Warner.
