"On February 27, 2006, Dave Wyndorf overdosed on prescription drugs.

His management released the following statement:

The battle with one’s inner demons is the most personal fight any of us can undertake. The fight is at times a lonely, confusing journey. On the evening of February 27, Dave Wyndorf suffered a setback in his own fight and was hospitalized for a drug overdose. His full recovery is expected. We ask that all those he has encountered over the years or simply affected by his music to take a moment to think good thoughts of and for him. With the grace of God and those who love him we are all confident that Dave will rebound from this set back and continue to play and make great rock and roll."

Now you tell if this statement was true or false in what it promised?

2004

2010

PS "More than a year later, in September 2007, Wyndorf spoke to UK-based music journalist Dave Ling about his overdose. According to him, everything began because he couldn't sleep on tour. Instead of asking for help from psychologists, he made doctors give him anxiolytics which he began to use regularly. He says his medical help just made his mental problems go away for a little while, after which they'd come back strengthened. Feeling very weak one day, he consumed a full bottle of sleeping pills, causing the overdose."(from Wikipedia.org)


Many idiots on the internet complain about Wyndorf being in a poor shape after the incident! I believe this demanding bitches should switch to some boysbands, but what this retarded trolls don't understand is that their are talking about a man born in 1956 who survived a serious health injury during 2004! But despite this he is back, playing gigs, releasing new material, evolving and bringing us the finest example of r'n'r ( at least in this Galaxy).

"What happened to fantasy for me is what also happened to rock and roll. It found a common denominator for making maximum money. As a result, it lost its tensions, its anger, its edginess and turned into one big cup of cocoa."

Review: Watchmen: The End Is Nigh (PC, PS3, Xbox)

“Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary.” Rorschach

First of all I must admit that Watchmen  graphic novel is a real classic and a masterpiece on many levels. Even the movie adaptation was great and pretty close to a novel itself. So in case you missed them - go and check them out and you will not regret.

The most notable about Watchmen franchise is its tough, grim and semi-realistic approach to the superhero genre. Though this atmosphere along with two main heroes from the story Rorschach and Night Owl are the only similarities between the game and the novel/movie.

Because the game is a simple 3D beat’em up, like Final Fight Streetwise(PS2), Fighting Force(PS, N64) and many many other games made before HD generation. And at this point we come to the main benefit of this game - it is its HD-ness. This is true that even after two years after release of this game we still don’t have enough HD beat'em ups. 

Graphics in the game is very impressive for the downloadable title, with PhysX engine, smooth animation and descent art-style. You will not find anything bright, cute, motley here at all, everything here is dark, rough and faded. Backgrounds and characters are well performed. Uncompromising rainy and depressive atmosphere is supplemented with Rorschach grim commentaries. Between levels there are some motion comic cut-scenes, though you won’t find any kind of serious plot in this game. Which at my opinion isn’t a big flaw for a brawler. 

Gameplay is simple and straight-forward, yet a little repetitive. But its a fine button-masher with a single-player where you play with AI partner and descent split-screen co-op mode as well. Simplicity of the gameplay is especially good because you don’t have to explain much to your partner. But the walkthrough is pretty intensive and there are some bloody combos to watch at while rushing through enemy lines. So if you want some mindless fun after hard day this brawler is just perfect for you.

My verdict  - give this game a try if you're looking for some descent beat’em up in HD. Download the demo and you will be surprised. The game is available at Steam, XBLA and PSN. Publisher released 2 parts of the game separately and the price is $20 each, which isn’t cheap though fans of genre don’t have much choice but to help Rorschach kick some bad guys asses.
