Check it out, courtesy of the kind folks over at Cornerstone we are giving away a Lomography camera and CD/DVD package from One Fast Move Or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur.  The original 12 song soundtrack was done by Jay Farrar of Son Volt and Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie–with lyrics based on prose from Kerouac’s 1962 novel Big Sur. The documentary is a definitive look at Kerouac’s book Big Sur, and the camera…well, the camera is awesome in its own right. So to recap, you have a chance to win a camera, cd, and dvd, for just typing your name and email address (we don’t share that stuff, either). How hard is that?

Register now until January 6th and you might win a really cool gift. Also, while your at it sign up for our newsletter!
Check out the trailer after the jump.

We had a chance to see a screening of (Untitled) a couple moments back, and liked it enough to give you all the heads up about it.  Starring Adam Goldberg, a sexy Marley Shelton, Eion Bailey, Lucy Punch, and Vinnie Jones (as a mix of Maurizio Cattelan and Vinnie Jones), the film is based on the NY Art Scene in all of its idiosyncracies. We definitely recommend seeing its debut in theaters this weekend.  As a bonus, we have a package containing a full size movie poster and the original soundtrack for the movie to giveaway.  Since the movies tagline is “Everyone’s got an opinion”, watch the trailer after the jump, then give us your opinion in the comments.  Best one wins.

I stopped by my friend Kenzo’s studio yesterday, and upon my exit he blessed me with a bunch of promotional cd’s of his really dope sampling epic, City of God’s Son.  Lucky for you, we’re giving some away.  Just email giveaway (at) theworldsbestever (dot) com with subject heading God’s Son, and I’ll mail one out.  For a refresher, the trailer is after the jump.

It’s the holiday and we are feeling generous.  We have been reviewing Call Of Duty: World At War, and have decided to give a few copies of the game away to readers. but first we thought we would give it a play, see the review below.

First the review, then the contest.

If you want to get “in the shit” but can’t afford a time machine, Call Of Duty: World At War will do pretty nicely. While the sentiment is known more from the ‘Nam era than any other military situation, the initial gameplay from this WWII era first person shooter definitely gives off that vibe. Starting off in the jungles and villages of Japanese occupied territories, you work your way through objectives while heavily camouflaged enemy soldiers create enough confusion to accidentally cause more than a few friendly-fire mistakes. This gives way to Nazi themed levels, with vehicles like tanks available for some gameplay.

The graphics are lush and wonderful, with beautiful night skies, swaying trees and brush, and occasional ambience like smoke from nearby fires and grenade explosions. All of it is wrapped in solid type and graphic design for level intros, and player deaths are characterized by a bleak Saving Private Ryan style drop-to the-ground-screen-goes-black-and-white-blood-fills-around-the-edges animation. Unfortunately the visuals aren’t as lushly layered with smoke, grime and dust as we’d like, but perhaps the historical accuracy of the game benefits from actually being able to see what’s going on.

Gameplay is solid if not a little scripted- you can die repeatedly but keep hammering through the objectives trying different tactics with each restart. Multiplayer is decent with some fun options (Nazi zombies, anyone?) involving all the solo and team play scenarios expected nowadays. The only drawback to this historical shooter is that we all know how the war ended, and pushing your way through the war with no fun surprise at the end can get old if you’re the type of gamer who also enjoys the horror and scifi variants on these types of games.
