Van Helsing: The Video Game

[retro_eidas]

My brother sent me this. VH game official site

When is this supposed to take place? That's a machine gun in the first cap. Where's the crossbow?

CGI doesn't look any better in the game.

I wonder as a reward for beating the game you get to watch that shirtless scene over and over? Not that I'm not doing that anyway with the trailer.

He has a machine gun!?! I thought it took place in 1800s 1700s back in the day. Well hell, where's his flamethrower and missle launcher and... and...uhh, other high-tech gadgetry?

You're right, doesn't look much like Hugh.

Hee! That would be best game ever!

Dude. It's LXG. Remember the Victorian rocket car? VH takes place in the late 19th century and they used gatling guns in the Amer. Civil War, but that's a handheld he's using. Heh. Then again, I guess I shouldn't criticize. VH is fighting Frakenstein, Wolfman, Jeckyll/Hyde *and* Dracula (not to mention his brides) so he needs all the historical liberties he can get! Not that VH is based on historical accuracy. Ever. Even Bram Stoker's was fictional. Hugh's VH is just more fictional... and shirtless. On that note, he can be packing a light sabre for all I care, they just better not cut the gratuitous half-nekkid Hugh.

It probably won't sound like him either, but then he is doing the voicework for the animated prequel. He could do it for the VH game too.

Just like VH is going to be the best movie ever. Right alongside every other American movie Hugh has done (He's shirtless in *all* of them. I think it must be in his contract or something).

Although it's sad, despite the Hugh factors, his movies are almost painful to watch. "Swordfish"? Much lovely Hugh flesh.... but my gawd is that a bad movie. Ditto to "Kate & Leopold" and "Someone Like You". I was hoping besides X-Men, he might be in something where he's not only nekkid but actually has some good story... but the VH trailers aren't making me very confident.

I'm *almost* ashamed to admit that I own all of these movies on DVD. I don't own the Someone Like You Special Edition with all the extras, to my everlasting regret. I've seen a shot of his rear that's supposedly from those extras, and needless to say I would like to see that on my largish screen tv, in all its nekkid glory.

I actually find Swordfish the least painful to watch, probably because I think he looks the best in that one. And he kills me during the scenes with the girl who plays his daughter.

I was holding out hope for VH, before I saw the previews. I've since resigned myself to the eye candy being the only thing to look forward to.

No shame in owning a movie just for Hugh (especially for purposes such as witnessing nekkid rear glory). I bought "Queen of the Damned" for Stuart Townsend, which is relatively worse in retrospect.

Barring X-Men, I'm thinking his career is turning out to be one eye candy project after another. Which I'm not really complaining about, but it would be nice if he could flex the acting muscles as well as the chesticles, thighs and arms. ::rapidly losing train of thought::

Oh God, that's the nightmare isn't it? I remember walking out of Kate & Leopold inexplicably annoyed. Halfway home I realized it was because they cut the bathtub scene. I'm still pissed. I didn't sit all the way through that to NOT see bath!Hugh, damnit!
