Comic Bento Is the Thing You Never Knew You Needed – So I’m Telling You

You know that feeling when you get something unexpected, then suddenly realize that you needed this thing all along and couldn’t possibly go back to a world where it didn’t exist in your life? That’s what happened to me last week when Comic Bento’s Monthly Selection was dropped off on my doorstep. Well, what is Comic…

‘batman v superman’ didn’t suck, you’re just a self-entitled cynic

‘Batman v Superman’ Didn’t Suck, You’re Just a Self-Entitled Cynic

Seeing as how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been raking in the dough, it’s likely that most of you have already seen this film – and so you should.

Ubisoft’s ‘for honor’ has gaming world stoked and analysts confused

Ubisoft’s ‘For Honor’ Has Gaming World Stoked and Analysts Confused

Show me a person who denies fighting with sticks in his or her backyard as a kid and I’ll show you a liar. Ubisoft Montreal’s For Honor caters to that inner child in a visceral way.

Netflix Is Putting the Hammer Down – And Nobody Is That Pleased About It

Don’t worry, I get it. We all do it. Everybody in their right mind wants American Netflix.

The New Sci-Fi: Recent Films Are Changing Our Understanding of Science…Forever

Where the Heck Did the First Video Game “Boss” Come From?

You know the feeling well. You’ve been tearing through a campaign on your console for the last three hours. Your avatar has hacked and slashed, stealthily insurrected, solved convoluted environmental puzzles, all to come to a large door. You have the key. You open it. Your gut tightens as the door opens.

‘metal gear solid v: the phantom pain’ is stunning – but is it sexist?

‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ Is Stunning – but Is It Sexist?

I have a confession to make to all the MGS die-hards out there – up till now I’ve never played a single title in the entire history of the franchise.
