This week's Video Of The Week goes to Angry Joe's Elder Scrolls Online Angry Review. The reason why I've selected this video is because ESO is probably the biggest release this quarter in gaming. His review is...well It may be an acquired taste But it's not any less insightful or honest. I for one was never really excited for a Elder Scrolls MMO, I much rather they'd come out with Elder Scrolls 6 and have a Co-Op feature then the come out with a WOW clone. Which trust me...This thing surely is and if it's not yet it will be, this is what happens to majority of MMO's.

Movie News: Goosebumps Movie Release Date,Synopsis + Cast

While it's announcement was a couple years back, Finally there's some concrete information on the film adaption of the popular 90's books written by R.L Stein. As the film begins principal photography, Sony has unveiled some information regarding the upcoming series reboot such as casting and a official synopsis.

The synopsis reads " After moving into a small town, Zach Cooper meets Hannah , his neighbor. Hannah's father R. L. Stine , who writes the Goosebumps stories, keeps all the monsters in the series locked up in his books. When Zach unintentionally releases the monsters from the books, Zach, Hannah, and Stine team up in order to put the monsters back where they came from. "

Jack Black(You should know who he is) takes on the leading role as R.L Stein. The role of Zach Cooper will be filled by Dylan Minnette(Let Me In, Prisoners) and Hannah will be portrayed by Odeya Rush a relative new comer to the movie scene. The cast will be rounded out by Amy Ryan(The Wire,Escape Plan) and Ken Marino(Children's Hospital, We're The Miller's) as Coach Carr(Of course there is a coach).

The film is directed by Rob Letterman(Gulliver's Travels,Shark Tales) , produced by Deborah Forte(Original creator of the Goosebumps TV series) and Neal H. Moritz(Evan Almighty,S.W.A.T) as well as written by Mike White (Enlighten, School Of Rock).

The film is scheduled for a March 23rd 2016 release.

While the film has a winning combination in terms of box office success will it actually be good? I'm doubtful, though I do have hopes. I enjoyed the TV series when it was on as a kid, Though I barley remember much about it. A fresh take might be good for this franchise that's been pretty hibernating the past decade. Frankly, I think this movie would have been better served as a Holloween type movie around October. Even if there is a new entry in one of the longer running slasher franchises from the 80's such as Halloween or Friday The 13th, Goosebumps is a more family oriented affair, and it would most likely stack up against those films. But then again it's not my choice. Hopefully it'll be decent. I'll post the trailer when ever it comes out.

Game News: Sony's "Road To Greatness" Tour

Remember when the PS4 released and Sony hyped it up by creating a challenge competition involving the machine called "First To Greatness'?

No?

Yes?

Well it seems that Sony has developed a follow up "The Road To Greatness". Adopting a grass roots method of promotion, Sony will be take the brand new console on the road. That's right it's "PlayStation 4 The Tour!"

So by now you are wondering what this could possibly like...The "tour" will allow gamers to come and play new unreleased PlayStation 4 and PS Vita games. They would also be able to participate in daily competitions and win ,yet to be revealed, prizes.

Now keep in mind this is North America only. That's about all that's been announced right. If I was a betting man I would bet that Sony will do something similar in other countries as well, but that remains to be seen.

However, down below you can see the dates as well as locations for the upcoming tour:

Stagecoach Music Festival (Indio, CA) - April 25-27

Beale Street Music Festival (Memphis, TN) - May 2-4

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (Kansas City, MO) - May 9-10

Rock on the Range (Columbus, OH) - May 16-18

Rocklahoma (Tulsa, OK) - May 23-25

Free Press Summer Festival (Houston, TX) - May 31-June 1

Country Jam (Grand Junction, CO) - June 19-22

Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI) -- June 25-July 6

MLB FanFest (Minneapolis, MN) -- July 11-15

As you can see these are locations that don't get a lot of love from the gaming industry, which if anything will just further the positive PR Sony has been getting from gamers.
