Happy holidays from your friendly neighborhood Mutantville Players! This week, we thought we would try something different as a special Christmas treat for everyone. Instead of featuring a scary movie – we thought we would go with a scary video game – the scariest video game of 2010 in fact – Alan Wake for the XBOX 360. Alan Wake tells the story of acclaimed horror writer Alan Wake and his trip to get away from it all in the secluded Northeastern town of Bright Falls. Alan Wake is quite simply the best horror game that I’ve played all year and I can’t wait to play through it again on a more difficult setting. I’ve talked about it enough already, you’re just going to have to take a look for yourself.
Matthew Ewald and Luis Machicao make miracles happen on the set of Athena.
The Mutantville Players are in a bit of downtime as we quietly put the finishing touches on G.H.O.S.T. to get it ready for the theaters and the eventual DVD release. In between the work we’re trying to relax as Brento is off to play gigs this weekend, Geo is tangoing to a studio near you and Streebo is playing Alan Wake on XBOX 360. We’ve collected a few cool vids for you to check out for fun, reviews and more – only on Fridays with MVP!
The Mutantville Players had the honor of meeting John Carpenter at the recent Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky. We made the eight hour plus trip out to Louisville to talk to one of our filmmaking idols and one of the true Masters of Horror and it was well worth it. Carpenter has largely been absent from the horror world over the past decade – appearing long enough to participate in the Masters of Horror experiment on Showtime and also acting as a consultant for the F.E.A.R. series of video games on XBOX – so fans such as myself are happy to see him out promoting his latest effort The Ward at conventions and festivals across the country.
On Saturday at the event, Carpenter accepted questions directly from the crowd and MVP was there. No need to worry if you couldn’t make the trip – we’ve recorded it and uploaded it to the Mutantville Players Youtube account for you to enjoy. So – enjoy!
On May 3rd, download “Escalation”, the second Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack, to play as the zombie-killing dream-team of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, Michael Rooker, and Danny Trejo against a new and unnerving zombie menace. Set in a mysterious, ice-covered, remote Siberian island and inspired by legendary writer and director George A. Romero, a group of four fearless explorers fight for their lives amidst an army of bloodthirsty Soviet zombies.
The Escalation Content Pack will be available first on Xbox Live on May 3, 2011.
Check out this great video featuring the amazing, surreal and sadomasochistic visual stylings from Clive Barker’s video game masterpiece - JERICHO. The video is in German – so you’re safe from too many spoilers – unless you speak German that is.

Streebo has been finding time to relax between shooting and producing G.H.O.S.T. by kicking back with Silent hill: Homecoming on the XBOX 360. This is the first Silent Hill game that I’ve been able to play for an extended period of time despite the fact that I’ve owned Silent Hill 1 through 3 over the years. The new controls make the game more user friendly for a geek like me that enjoys more action oriented games. Needless to say – the atmosphere and visuals rule the day in Silent Hill. I love the look, sound and feel of this game and find myself addicted to it. Enjoy some Silent hill craziness with me by watching this video featuring some of the more interesting villians of the series of games.
