Circle Of Eight Episode 6: Exclusive Image - Stay Out Of The File Room

If you didn't already know, I'm hopelessly addicted to Paramount Digital Entertainment's MySpace series, Circle of Eight. With all the red herrings, clues, quirky characters, and seemingly inescapable hallways within The Dante, the one room we all want to see is the file room. Why? Well, when you're told to stay out of the file room from the very first episode you couldn't really care less about any other room in the place. Now we are heading into the 6th episode and we still haven't seen the damn room!

I shouldn't say "we," because as of this morning, I've actually seen it. Yes, the fabled room filled with files is about to be unveiled to you. We've got an exclusive look at the next episode of Circle of Eight and it just so happens to take you straight to the dreaded room, complete with files and a pretty serious looking Ed. Check below for the fully expandable image, as well as a little spoiler laden synopsis of what else you are going to see tomorrow!

Circle of Eight Episodes 4 And 5 Review

Two more episodes from the online supernatural drama Circle of Eight have been posted today, and while they are laden with more clues, they have also brought about even more questions. With Jessica and Evan closing in on each other romantically, Jess seems to be calmed from a vision of a dead man quite easily. While she did go to the police for help, the lack of a body pretty much makes it seem like she is losing her mind. The strange shit that Evan tells her and the way he reacts to her seeing some of his unintentionally shown art may be locking his guilt in even further.

Since you can see both of today's episodes online yourself, I'm not going to spoil anything else for you. However, I am going to go on the record of what I can piece together myself. First, go watch everything right here, and then come back for my little spoilery look at the evidence and clues that have been left behind for us to digest.

Circle of Eight Preview/Review - It Should Seem Confusing Because It Is

Chances are that if you use MySpace, you've seen the trailer or ads for Circle of Eight. Instantly, this being on MySpace makes you think of a few things. First of all, the Top 8 of MySpace profiles a was a fairly significant thing way back when. Secondly, why is this on MySpace? Third, does this have anything to do with the eight circle of hell, "Malebolge?" Well, all of these things come together in one neat and interesting package. I was lucky enough to be able to preview the first few episodes, play the mini-games and clue hunt before it goes live this week. Keep reading if you want to know what I think so far, and how the whole thing works. Oh, and if you think this has anything to do with the Dungeons & Dragons "Circle of Eight" you are totally mistaken.

Circle of Eight is a supernatural murder mystery that is full of WTF moments. Each episode is about 5 minutes long, and they will be served out piece by piece, like a sweet little pie of murder and paranoia. When you first start watching an episode of Circle of Eight it seems like you're just watching any other video online. However, at some point during an episode you'll see a little tool-tip pop up that says something like "Click to go to interactive frame." Doing so will pause the video on a certain image, and this is where the fun begins. As you hunt through the image with your mouse cursor, you'll notice a slightly highlighted area. Once you find it, click, and you'll be shown a stylized image with a call to action to play a little game.

The Warriors: Street Brawl Review - Xbox 360

Writing this review made me realize how much a hypocrite we all can be. I say this because I can't imagine how many times I've thought or said something to the effect of "I miss games like Final Fight and Streets of Rage. They sure don't make side-scrolling beat-em-ups like they used to." Yeah, I've said stuff like that. I'm sure many of you have as well. Then came along The Warriors: Street Brawl and I was proven wrong on two accounts. Not only do they make them like they used to, I also shouldn't be playing them like I used to.

The Warrors: SB is a strange beast. Right away you know you are playing a game based on the cult classic film from 1979, but you also realize something is missing. All the gangs are represented somehow, so it isn't that. The opening logo of the game is accompanied by "Can you dig it?!" being yelled in the background, so you feel that nostalgia right away. Strangely enough, that instance and a little bit of "Warrirors, come out to play-ay!" seem to be the only voice acting or dialog that carried over from the film. A little bit of the original score came over with it too, but not much. What is missing is the feel of this being an official Warriors product, thanks to a fairly low level of production values. We might all be spoiled by the previous Warriors game put out by Rockstar a few years back, but they had to know this going into it.
