We've lost another big screen star as character actor Geno Silva has reportedly passed away. With a career spanning decades, one of Silva's most notable roles includes playing the hitman who dispatches Tony Montana in Scarface in one of cinema history's all-time biggest moments. According to reports, Silva died at his Los Angeles home on Monday due to complications from a form of dementia called frontotemporal degeneration. He was 72 years old.
Silva was born on Jan. 20, 1948, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As an actor, his most recognizable role is perhaps that of the henchman nicknamed "The Skull" in the classic gangster movie Scarface. In the hit movie, The Skull is a silent hitman hired by drug lord Alejandro Sosa (Paul Shenar) to take out iconic character Tony Montana (Al Pacino), which he does in the climax of the film.

After ten years the three main protagonists of the Disgaea franchise are finally reunited in Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. This game is a completely over-the-top and top-notch strategy role-playing experience. Nippon Ichi Software was able to bring the series back to its roots and deliver a very satisfying game with tons of content.
The story takes place directly after the events of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and follows Laharl after he has become the full fledged Overlord. Unfortunately, he isn’t receiving the respect he claims he deserves and must adventure through the Netherworld and convince, or beat up, anyone who opposes him. The biggest fault of the storyline is that it’s just too slow and drags in the beginning. Most of the initial cut-scenes are just banter between the main characters and a majority of the interesting events don’t take place until the last few episodes.
