Hey guys, just spreading the word here! Aaron Sims, the guy you all love for his amazing work on recent hit movies like Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Clash of the Titans (still one of my favorites) has his new Directors site up, where he shows the projects he directed himself. You should definately check out the trailer of his upcoming short Archetype. On the site you will also be able to watch his full short Paralyzed.
Aaron is a character designer or conceptual artist and digital effects artist. He has worked on all the major Hollywood blockbusters of the last two decades. He worked with Rick Bakers Cinovation Studios and Stan Winston. Working with SoftImage and Photoshop, and combining his knowledge of computer technology with his experience as a sculptor made him the lead character designer on Spielbergs Artificial Intelligence, which changed the the industrys design process. He co-created Stan Winston Digital and led the studio, working on films as Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow and Constantine. He now runs the Aaron Sims Company, which worked on films such as The Incredible Hulk and 30 Days of Night. Among his team are Jerad S. Maranz (lead artist), Alex Mandrajiev (concepts/storyboards), Tsvetomir Georgiev (main modeler) and Joel Chang (head environment designer).

Tecmo shows first glimpse of new Ninja Gaiden III
During the GDC 2011 (Game Developers Conference) in San Francisco, Tecmo showed their first preview of Ninja Gaiden III. Ninja Gaiden is still conceived as the hardest next-gen game. It was released for the X-Box in 2004 and designed by Tomonobu Itagaki and his Team Ninja. The Sequel Ninja Gaiden II was released in 2008 for the X-box 360.
Since then, Itagaki has left Tecmo with several of his team members to start a new company Valhalla Games to complete his next project called Devils Third (to be released in 2012).Im a huge fan of Tomonobu, and I like my games as tough as possible, so the original title is still my favorite game. However, all the signs seem to predict the next installment in the Ninja Gaiden franchise will still kick ass, so Im looking forward to chopping some fresh heads with Ryu! Producer Yosuke Hayashi says big changes are coming to the third game. NG III is slated for 2012. Check out the teaser from Tecmo, its hot!
