Terminator - A History of the Game

The first Terminator game released for DOS PCs in 1990. In the game you could either play as Kyle Reese who was assigned to protect Sarah or as the Terminator whose sole duty was to terminate her. When Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in 1991, it was a huge hit and was regarded as one of best sci-fi movies to have ever been made. So it was hardly surprising that a number of video game developers tried to cash in on the success of Terminator II, and developed video games that more or less faithfully stuck to the plot of the movie.

Of all the all games pre 1995 games, The Terminator released by Virgin Games got the best reviews and not surprisingly sold the most copies as well. The game had a decent storyline which cleverly blended the plots of the Terminator (Part 1) and The Robocop Vs. The Terminator, a comic book published by Dark Horse Comics. Another well designed video game was The Terminator: Rampage on the PC, which was released in 1993 by Bertha Softworks. In the game, SkyNet goes back in time to wreak havoc on inhabitants of the 20th century. It was basically a first person shooter and quite an interesting one at that. So if you enjoyed the all time classic Wolfenstein, then you are sure to like this one as well.

In 2003 when the world was bracing itself to watch an aged, shriveled up (Thank God, I don't live in California) Terminator battle the luscious Kristanna Loken in Terminator: The Rise of Machines, Infogames made hay while the sun shone by releasing Terminator: Dawn of Fate for PS2 and Xbox. In the game the player gets to play as Kyle Reese and have to complete a number of challenging missions and protect the world from being taken over by evil machines.

After the movie hit the cinema halls in 2003, Terminator 3:War of the Machines was released by Atari. The game was developed for PS2, Xbox and Game Boy Advance. A PC version was also released soon after. After a slew of Terminator games, most of which had players play as other characters, this game finally let gamers play as the Terminator himself.

In 2004, Terminator 3: The Redemption was released for GameCube, PS2 and Xbox. Though the game is a spin-off of the T3 movie but has several interesting sub plots, which suggest that there was much more action in movie than was shown to the audience. (So play the game to experience the vials of adrenaline that mysteriously went missing from the movie)

All the Terminator movies were so successful, because they had a hidden message: Machines if they are allowed to rule our lives will soon take over the planet...or something to that effect. But seriously who gives a damn when you have a PS2, a copy of the Rise of the machines and some free time to raise hell and blast away the baddies.

Dierks Bentley Brings The Heat From Nashville To The North!

Dierks Bentley is more than meets the eye, but what does meet the eye is pretty darn hard not to look at. His presence is warm, inviting and you feel like you just sat down with an old friend. Kat and I sat down to talk to the country music star when he was in Toronto promoting his new album, Modern Day Drifter. The lead track off the album,"A lot of Leavin' Left to do" made us wonder where the song came from. Pretty self explanatory to some, a guy leavin' a lot of women, but Dierks shared with us that his career is what takes precedence right now and that is where his focus lies. That and with all of his fans around the world, of course.
Dierks has recently sold his house, "Being on the road so much, I am hardly in one place too long, it just made sense to sell". Another ode to leavin'. So with a house sold, no "nest", is there space for someone in your life or was there someone? Dierks doesn't hesitate to give us the low-down dirty shame, "Well, there was someone special in my life and I did ask her to marry me.

What I was hoping for was a three letter answer and instead I got two", Dierks chuckles, "Actually it was more like four letters and then two, but anyway she said no". It seems that he manages to roll with the punches, not looking back on his past too much and make a song or two out of it all. Luckily, Kat and I were nice and close to Dierks should he have felt the need to cry on our shoulder. But, no need, he doesn't miss a beat and we move onto where it all started for Dierks.

Well, the long and short of it is, I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with a lot of country music around me, my dad loved country music. One day, I heard Hank Williams Jr. singing about, I think he has a song called, "Naked Women and Beer" and I thought that this guy was pretty cool. Kat pipes in, "So that was your inspiration then?" Dierks gives us a hearty southern laugh, "Yeah, but I also was listening to Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks too". "Oh so were you at the concert when he asked Trisha Yearwood to marry him?", Kat asks. "Yeah, I was and I thought that was pretty cool and it was kinda nice to see that", says Dierks. Dierks continues on to tell us that it was many musical artists that influenced him to keep going. That and the fact that many people who heard him sing would say that he had a good voice. So Dierks took that as a good sign, took it with him and his guitar to Nashville when he was 19 yrs old.
Dierks goes onto say, "Nashville is the place to be if you really want to make any head way as a country artist, So that is where I moved to."

Being so young and on his own, Dierks took just about any job he could get his hands on and played at any gig or venue he could. He even had a job at TNN, but stayed so below the radar that everyone just kind of leaves you alone. "Often times if someone would pass me by in the copy area or something, I would just be (ughh, ahhh) and most people would just leave you alone. Act frustrated and most people just stay away from you", chuckles Dierks."So that's how you would support yourself then," says Kat."Pretty much. That would give me my paycheque and I would play and write songs at night", Dierks lets out a sigh and eases back into the couch.

It is those very early years that has given him the discipline that drives the machine of Dierks Bentley. "I just dug in my heels and kept working!", Dierks continues on to say, "it's all about the music". www.dierks.com for more of that music, tour dates and press.
Well, Dierks Bentley made Kat and I love country music a little bit more. His performance later that evening at CLUB 279 HARD ROCK CAFE, Toronto, made us go out and purchase the album, Now, even if you haven't caught Dierks Bentley in concert, no doubt you will soon, but in the meantime go out and buy his album- I am sure you will love him, I mean country, a little more!
