There are a lot of films released every year that are sci-fi or fantasy in nature. But not many of them are able to boast being based on a true story. One such supernatural true story in the works has gained some traction after being linked to one of Hollywood’s most prominent leading men. Deadline.com…
The Saints Row series marches on, with the August 20th release of Saints Row 4. Many were concerned about the series with the bankruptcy of THQ, but Deep Silver has grabbed the baton and set the game for an August 20th release date. Preorder copies get the “Commander and Chief Edition!” pack which includes a…
Samsung isn’t finished yet. Yet another handset (the 4th in the past week, and the third S4 variant) has been announced. The Galaxy S4 Zoom, they call it, confirming the numerous leaks and rumors we’ve had over the past weeks. The handset seems to be a hybrid of the Galaxy S4, and the Galaxy Camera. The…
Few franchises have been as consistently strong as the GRID series. It started out as the TOCA Touring Cars series on PS1, producing one of the best racing games that console ever saw in TOCA 2 Touring Cars. It had a wobbly PS2 debut with TOCA Race Driver, featuring a laughably stupid Days of Thunder-esque…
Samsung and HTC recently took their fierce competition to Twitter. The bitter word battle on Twitter got much more heated and ridiculous, when HTC accused the Korean Giant of “paying students to write fake reviews for the competition”. The whole mess started after last Thursday night’s Mobile Awards at which the “Hottest phone of 2013”…
Nintendo is an interesting beast when it comes to releasing new consoles. They tend to roll out completely revolutionary hardware but with the smallest library you could possibly imagine. The launch of the Wii U was a primary example of this dilemma: awesome hardware with an all new way to play games but barely any…
Avengers #13 is the most important comic book to come out of Marvel’s doors in recent weeks. Outer space is a large, scary place and the vast unknowns of space have never been as important as they are in the “Marvel NOW!” event. With the unexpected return of the High Evolutionary, what other surprises are…
If you’re the kinda person who gets sucked into a long drawn-out board game of Risk, the Europa Universalis series has a lot to offer. It’s a game of trade and global domination set to the age of exploration, as historically accurate as they can be. On August 13th, the forth and newest installment Europa…
So Apple has unveiled its highly anticipated iOS 7 at WWDC. The latest iteration of what Steve Jobs once claimed to be ‘5 years ahead of any other phone’, is what Tim Cook is now calling, 5 years later, ‘the biggest change to the platform since the iPhone’. iOS 7 is a completely redesigned experience…
Dear Xbox, I think we need to start seeing other people. Well, you need to maybe start seeing other people and I need to start seeing other consoles. You’re a great franchise of consoles. It’s just, after your One reveal, then your E3 conference and then seeing Sony’s E3 press conference, I really feel that…
After the Xbox One Launch: Me: “Help me, E3 Microsoft Press Conference, you’re my only hope” Microsoft Press Conference: “I find your lack of faith disturbing” Then, I choked on sadness (and the shame of mixing of Star Wars quotes so badly). Xbox One: Is it THE One? If the Xbox One launch caste a…
Alright everyone, now that I’ve tackled the Xbox One reveal at E3, I think it’s time to move onto the Playstation 4. It seems that Sony decided to play it smart this year with their console release and took advantage of being the later of the two companies to reveal their console by taking some…
In a much-belated move timed with E3, Dell announced the entire Alienware laptop lineup is being refreshed with the introduction of Intel’s 4th generation Haswell CPUs. This is a relatively big deal, considering the M14x, M17x, and M18x (yes, there’s an 18-inch laptop out there) haven’t been redesigned since their release back in 2009. Each…
Before I get started gushing about how happy I am, I would like to let you all know that I am a twenty year old with an arguably deep voice and an entirely normal upbringing, and I just squealed like a little girl getting her first Barbie doll. Super Smash Bros. Arrives Cross-Console At E3…
In recent months it’s been pretty impossible to escape all of the sexism talk surrounding the video game culture. It seems as if the game industry really dislikes the idea of women gamers, for some reason. On a regular basis I read a story about the industry that has “sexism” in it’s title. In 2011,…
