I actually think this would be a brilliant idea. I mean, I grew up on Disney. I grew up on gaming. It actually blows my mind that a game like this doesn't exist. Even from a marketing standpoint, this would be a perfect way to not only celebrate Disney's past or forgotten characters, but to...

How long have the Game Theorists been on Escapist!?! I love these guys on Youtube!

Big Hero 6 seems like such a strange first outing for a Disney/Marvel animated feature. A Power Pack or a Young Avengers film I could understand, but this seems so out-of-left field. I'm not condemning this choice, I'm just saying its an interesting one.

So glad I wasn't the only one who said that instinctively

Single Biome Planets. This just annoys me so. I can believe if a planet is going through an Ice Age, but to have a planet that is entirely desert or forest or ocean, it's not only boring but kind of lazy on the creator's part.

You learn to survive. You survive to learn.

I'm currently playing it now. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed the two previous games, this one left a bad taste in my mouth, for a few reasons. The Arsenal. It was great to start out with as many gadgets as you do. They were familiar ones that we had used before, but at least we knew the...

:| You sir are a genius. I would love to write this some day. Hell! It would make for a flipping sweet web series! No seriously, my brain is already in overdrive coming up with characters and plots.

Audiosurf and Super Mario Bro. Imagine a typical sidescroller. The aim is to get your character from one side of the screen to the other while contending with obstacles and enemies. So far, so simple. Imagine if this sidescroller was actually connected to your iTunes library though, and that...

I named a Magikarp Stephen Hawking

The only one that instantly comes to mind is Johnny from The Room. Tommy Wiseau's attempts at acting and a terrible script aside, theres nothing redeemable about him. Nothing to like about him at all. The, very little, we can glean from his character is that a) He thinks violence against women...

But of course! Take Conrad Brean from Wag the Dog. For those who haven't had the pleasure, the premise for the movie is this; The President of the United States has become involved in a sex scandal involving a teenaged girl. To keep the media from having a field day and to keep the American...

Which what characters like Megamind and Gru essentially were. There was nothing wrong with either one either. They're both great, likeable characters that you want to follow. The thing is they're not really villainous. This is, of course, due to the tones of their respective films than any real...

The villain protagonist is a very tough character to pull off in my honest opinion. Make him too villainous and he could potentially become too repugnant for the audience. Make him too redeemable and he potentially becomes a hero. It's a very tough balancing act to pull. It can work though...

Ok then. A night on Earth. Its literally a movie built around conversations. 8 cabbies from round the world just talking to their fares.
