Is that 'Chaos' I taste?
His bandmates call him a "swell guy" and say that he's forgetful. Allman even depicts himself as being stuck in a state of distraction. However, there are a few rumors about Allman he'd like to dispel: he's not bisexual and not a vegetarian. "I do drink soy mochas, so I guess in a way I am vegetarian," Allman said jokingly. His parents' love for music tranferred to him when he was young, especially his father's. "My parents pushed music on me since I was able to crawl around," Allman said. His father has a vast understanding of music, and the breadth of his knowledge ranges from the basics to Brazilian jazz. By absorbing and applying his father's teachings, Allman adds an essential component to the prosperous musical concoction that's The Used.
16:38 Further detail dregs on Scarface: The World Is Yours (0)
We already know that the rumours of Scarface: The World Is Yours appearing on the Nintendo Wii have indeed proved to be true, with the 1.5 million-selling movie extension videogame expected to arrive on Nintendo's latest piece of home hardware in the summer of this year. But what we want to know is, what exactly will Tony Montana be bringing with him to the Wii version – and will it include his “little friend"? Based on the 1983 Universal Pictures gangster classic, Scarface: The World Is Yours delivers an action packed sequel storyline that dares to ask: “What if Tony Montana survived the mansion shootout" seen at the climax of the movie, and then returned to Miami in order to embark on a quest to rebuild his empire and exact vengeance on his enemies? While purist fans of the original Al Pacino-bolstered Scarface movie might have blustered fervently at the very notion of creating an entirely new IP around one of Hollywood's most famous and iconic (deceased) characters, but it certainly hasn't stopped Vivendi Games and Sierra Entertainment from notching up a confirmed gaming hit.
Manhunt 2 Coming To Wii, PS2, PSP
Take-Two announced today that Rockstar Games will be bringing the sequel to its controversial, ultra-violent snuff-stealth game Manhunt to the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable this summer. Game development is being handled by the newly formed Rockstar London with a little help from the original Manhunt team, Rockstar North. Wii porting duties will be helmed by Rockstar Toronto (The Warriors). We'll assume that Rockstar Leeds will handle the PSP version, as their expertise lies in the handheld arena. As a huge Manhunt fan/sadist, this is nearing the top of my most wanted list for 2007. One can only imagine the exciting new ways in which the Wii controller will be used to brutally and flamboyantly murder the dozens of street toughs your character is forced to exterminate.
