    How much obligation do sequels have to recap previous entries?

    Probably the best way to handle it. As for the AC series, I look at it like Dr. Who at this point. It's an ongoing story where each new version should have just enough exposition to keep new players on track and not lost in the world. It's maybe one of the few things I like about Codex's...

    Escape to the Movies: Cabin In The Woods

    Honestly, as great as this is going to be, I can't get the opening number from "Evil Dead The Musical" out of my head everytime I see/hear the name of this movie. Not complaining, just saying. Also, doesn't the cabin look like a nail for nail recreation of the Evil Dead one?

    Bleszinski: On-Disk DLC an "Unfortunate Reality"

    I've got it! Let's go back to the old school. From now on, no DLC, no post release support except for a brief period of bug patches. You can have the disc and anything on it. If it's unfinished and locked down, too bad, never get to see it unless hackers and modders fix it years later. I...

    Mass Effect 3: Retake This

    It's a mater of burn out on the part of game journalists. They see overreactions every time any somewhat popular title comes out. Consider that we've seen extreme outrage over a single developer not updating his game quick enough for their community (Minecraft), and a character looking too...

    The Big Picture: If the Oscars Were the VGAs

    So, basically, what I get from that is, "If the Oscars were the VGA's, they'd be the MTV Movie awards." That's honestly how I've treated the VGA's, just the simplistic version of award shows for the lowest common denominator. Closest I can think of to the Oscars for video games is the BAFTA...

    Asset Sell-Off Suggests the End of Team Bondi

    I'm sorry, I know there's lots of quality information in this story, but once I heard Mad Max all I can think now is what it would be like to blend L.A. Noire with Fallout. It'd be as mind spinning as Punisher meets Archie.

    No Right Answer: Best Tim Burton Film Ever

    I must agree, if a grown man can watch Big Fish and now shead a single tear, he has no soul.

    Man Arrested For Trying to Split the Atom at Home

    According to reports, when arested the man stated in a loud voice "You'll pay for this, you'll all pay. No one understands my genius. Mwahahaha, mwahaha." I'm just wondering if this is Sheldon's long lost father/uncle?

    OutRun Hits The (Real World) Streets

    Yeah, but you get a game over in rush hour traffic and the damn thing locks you out completely. That being said, how long till the portable version allows me to walk through my favourite RPG?

    Feed Dump: Korea & Russia & Chechnya, Oh My!

    James, don't worry about it, just keep smiling.

    Cartoon Networks Says "Go Planet" to Live-Action Captain Planet Movie

    Ma-ti: Don't worry guys I've got this. HEART (Bad guy grabs his chest and drops dead). Kwame: Ma-ti, what did you just do? Captain Planet could have arested him. Ma-ti: But this way his carbon footprint is stompped out! Wheeler: (Pulls out a gun) Hey guys, he's right. This is a much more...

    Educator Group Calls For B.C. Game Ban

    Canada's got a more complex take on these topics than the absolute nature of the US 1st ammendment. In the States the ESRB and MPAA ratings can only serve as suggestions and standards that stores/theaters choose to adhear to since Supreme Court rulings say no third party board can be assigned...

    Japan's Nightmarish Robot Mouth Can Sing

    Those Daisy Bell jokes do tend to be failures. "This sort of thing has cropped up before and it has always been due to human error"

    Did the two of them just unlock the super secret special mode from Mortal Kombat?
