I'm so tired of reboots, especially an uninspired one like this. A sequel would've created so many more story telling opportunities (The original Ghostbusters franchising out would have made perfect sense and the time between the films would've provided an interesting space to do some minor...

Yes it was (I'm a subscriber the variant cover was pretty cool - Han & Chewie smuggling lootcrates), I think it's also the first comic in the new Disney Star Wars continuity, and it's a first issue which always helps. I would expect quite a drop off, it was a decent enough story but as a...

Bananas are your top selling fruit but members of your largest demographic are threatening to boycott the store because they are too phallic. What do you do? A) You stop selling bananas. B) You promise to fund genetic modification of bananas to make them less phallic. C) You section off the...

Ubisoft: What you expect us to finish our games before we sell them to the public? That's valuable macrotransaction time we'd be losing! I will say this to fellow gamers, if you care about any of the shoddy practices overtaking the industry the best thing you can do is STOP PREORDERING...

I hope it's just a timed exclusive I loved the reboot. Really stupid business decision to go exclusive imo. http://tombraider.tumblr.com/post/94529480860/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-update

I don't care for the 3D gimmick, but I did see Guardians in 3D (only available way to see it at the time I wanted to go). That said if you like the gimmick Guardians makes the most of it's 3d, pretty much every scene uses it (unlike a lot of films I've seen where it's basically an after...

I too love his run on Daredevil, but sadly if he were writing it today Nuke would've probably been a hero rather than a tragic villain. Anyway, there's no way that Disney-owned Marvel is going to let him anywhere near any of their movie franchised characters, he's toxic at this point (and has...

I like how everyone is joking that the British and/or Canadians would be a laughable (and highly improbable) threat to the USA, when in the 1930s (i.e. when the NAZIs were on the rise and USSR had been formed) American military strategists were drawing up plans to fend off a joint invasion of...

It probably would've been buried in the holiday season anyway. Obsidian always seems to be hopelessly ambitious, their games aren't lazy, but they tend to overshoot and end up releasing buggy, incomplete games. South Park games have almost all been awful (the N64 games - my god!). Then you...

Master Chief, practically every character in the COD series, Catelyn Stark, the film versions of the hobbits, Marcus Fenix, are the one's that spring to mind at the moment.

Well the UK's equivalent agency, the GCHQ, somehow harvests even more data on it's citizens (and shares this with the USA for good measure). Details here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/21/gchq_nsa_spooks/ As to the OP, Most people don't bother protesting at all, those who do...

1. Cutting out retailers is all well and good for MS - if they could push hardware without them, they weren't in a position to do that, otherwise they wouldn't have included discs at all and would've simply gone all digital (which would then have been an easier argument for their DRM policies)...

How would the previous system Microsoft proposed have changed that? They were still going to sell physical copies through retail channels as a delivery system - it wasn't all digital. There's a good reason for that too, even with an always-online console they've got to sell the thing - which...

Next time they decide a story needs a trilogy to be told they should really have at least some sort of decent ending to work towards from the beginning. That's pretty basic storytelling. A (competent) author doesn't write two-thirds of their novel before they start seriously thinking about...

Except that digital versions will still be available the same day as physical copies for those who still want to waste their money (if you want to buy overpriced digital copies Games on Demand already gives you that option on XBL). Or you buy a pc and never have to sully yourself with a...
