    Jimquisition: Ubisoft Talks Bollocks About Framerate And Resolution

    WHo are we to dictate what Ubisoft should do? After all, 900P is their creative vision, right? Who are we to step on their artistic vision?

    Instead of the comic book versiojn - a parody of Daredevil wwith fricking Turtles, it'd be a parody of Batman with fricken Turtles.

    I CAN TOTALLY SEE A RICHARD RIDER NOVA MOVIE NOW. Set now. With jokes toward video games and blockbuster fanboys (kinda wwhat Rider was before becoming Nova). Largely because

    Escape to the Movies: Guardians of the Galaxy - Surprise! This Movie Rocks!

    That character has always been a joke character to some extent, at least in Marvel continuity. Even his comic series focused more on other characters than himself - a 4th wall breaking cosmic character long before Deadpool (though I think concurrent with Animal Man)

    Stingers weren't at press screenings this time around, if that's how he saw it. That wasn't released until Aug. 1st

    If You Are Going to Hate on a Game Company, Do It For the Right Reasons

    Indeed, it's the risk averse industry that's the problem here more than anything else. BECAUSE so much money was invested in the title, the less likely they are to take a risk with the narrative. Even when AC had included female models in previous multiplayer options. Oddly enough, all the...

    If You Are Going to Hate on a Game Company, Do It For the Right Reasons

    I think the main reason Unity was singled out is that it was - really - one of the two CO-op titles this year without a female option. The other one? Far Cry 4. The answer / apology they gave wwas downright lazy as well. And honestly, I undersstand there reasons. But their answer screamed...

    MovieBob's 2014 Oscar Handicap

    Strangely enough, I have differing thoughts about "Her" as a screenplay. It's incredibly well realized directorially, and the dialog between the OS and Him are quite naturalistic. But naturalistic isn't necessarily good. Finally, some of the friends are non-entities, and some characters...

    Escape to the Movies: Son of God

    Exactly. Mahabarata is a brilliant film, as is The Last Temptation of Christ. A story is a story. This just happens to be a story that quite a bit of the world worships in some manner (and therefore really knows it well). Dare I say Prince of Egypt was Dreamworks Animation's best film? The...

    Escape to the Movies: Son of God

    Seriously? Cause he reviewed this film alongside several other cinematic adaptations of the New Testament, and his general review was that the filmmakers were exploiting Christians to make money. If anything he didn't say anything about Christians themselves, and went out of his way not to say...

    Jimquisition: Early Access

    I actually like Early Access, but agree that the customer MUST DO THEIR RESEARCH before Anywya, good episode though I somewhat disagree. I hope my points were unferstood. I actually like Early access,

    The Escapist Presents: Greg's Five Favorites of 2013

    Toys for Bob (makers of Skylanders) make great balanced games. My favorite game of all time is their Star Control 2, and while it isn't the same genre, there are some great similarities with creative powers that balance as sidegrades to the rock-scissors-paper of the game as a while.
