    Dark Knight Rises Cinematographer Bashes The Avengers

    I don't know who shit in Pfister's coffee that morning, but his criticism seems uncalled for. The Avengers was a movie epic in scope, with its impressive scale and comic origins calling for cinematography that showcased its locales and, even as Pfister said, its million dollar sets. Different...

    Black Ops Declassified Developer Abandons Retail

    Hmm. I'm curious as to why Nihilistic is making this overly complicated transition. Why not just redirect their agenda towards games in the mobile space? Do they really need to change their name? I don't know of any bad reputation associated with the Nihilistic name. Burning Skies seemed to have...

    Somewhere I can pay to have a one-time, high quality color print.

    Thanks for the input from everyone! Ended up going to FedEx Office (essentially FedEx ate Kinko's and threw-up this place).

    Zero Punctuation: Resident Evil 6

    From what I've played, mostly Mercenaries mode and a bit of Leon's co-op campaign, Resident Evil 6 is not that bad. It certainly lacks a certain polish to it that I'm used to seeing in these bigger budgeted games, especially disheartening when realizing it is coming from Capcom. Also, I'm...

    It's the gamepocalypse, you can only save one game!

    Agreed, but let us clarify that we'd like to save Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition. Although, I'd actually feel more obliged to save Civilization V with the Gods and Kings expansion. Endless replayability and strategy!

    Somewhere I can pay to have a one-time, high quality color print.

    I feel like this should be a no-brainer, but I can't think of a place. I want to print out this album cover I made through GIMP and put it into a jewel case for a friend as a present. Essentially it's just a mix CD of their favorite songs, but I thought I'd go the extra stretch in its...

    The Big Picture: Schlocktober 2012: Orca

    The Punisher: Orca I, I... I have to watch this. A killer whale sabotages a fishing village to smoke out his baby momma's killer to combat him on the icy waters of northern Ireland. Fantastic.

    Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut Coming Exclusively to PS3

    Yeah... me too. I haven't played it yet, but additional content sounds like it would be nice. Here's to hoping they offer DLC for the 360 version. I'm curious as to why the mention "HD graphics" as a selling point for the PlayStation exclusive... was it not technically on the original Xbox...

    Rumor: Next Skyrim DLC May Let You Mount a Dragon

    I don't see what there is to complain about on the PC side. So PC players get the essentials of Hearthfire for free, most likely they can also edit files or find a tweak to make dragons stronger. What's the point in complaining if you can ultimately download the core experience of Bethesda's...

    Prey 2 Is Trapped "In Limbo"

    I'd like to know why either Bethesda or Human Head is just sitting on this. The concept and trailers seem rock solid and doesn't rely on the all-popular multiplayer aspect (I guess I have Brink in mind with that analogy). A solid play might be to just turn this into its own franchise, a la...

    Hugo Weaving Finished With Red Skull

    Bummer. I didn't really care too much for Weaving's performance, but disruption in continuity would kill me. They really left it open to interpretation as to whether Red Skull died or not. I suppose they could just write him off, though he is pretty big in Captain America's lore, I take it...

    What are your thoughts on multiple endings?

    I agree with this. It is significantly harder to impact the players with world changes than it is to affect players over changes in the characters themselves. The idea of Mass Effect 2 supporting characters being at the mercy of player choice rings much more powerful than most dynamic endings...

    Enemies That Make You Go "Oh Fuck This"

    Reapers from Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries mode. One hit kills and a narrow window to kill the damn thing! It's not hardest enemy around, but it does make me go "Oh, fuck this!" on every encounter. Honorable mention: The chain-gun brutes from Saints Row the Third.

    Call of Duty Elite Goes Free

    That's generous of Activision in a way, but if you think about it too hard, you'll realize EA offers generally the same thing with Battlelog. "Shuffle step" was an apt choice of words, they're basically moving the $50 price tag for Elite to just the maps. But like the Andy said, it's a net gain...

    EA Founder: Consoles Will Become Niche

    I don't agree with his prediction. If you view the facts at present, sure. It's easy to see the slowing profits and trends associated with the consoles at this point in their life cycle, especially since Microsoft and Sony are really squeezing water out of their respective rocks. Come Wii U...
