    Escape to the Movies: Ender's Game

    Reminds me of the "Chris Brown - No Stars Ever" review. TL;DR - sometimes you're a big enough douchebag that no amount of precious talent is worth supporting.

    Ellen Page Nudity in Beyond: Two Souls Triggers Aggressive Sony Response

    Well, she's about to be in X-Men: Days of Future Past, right? So...there's that.

    World of Warcraft Bot Maker Suffers Crushing Defeat

    We here in America take fairness in sports and entertainment very seriously (i.e. steroids in baseball, etc.) If only we were this concerned about fairness in things that actually affect people's quality of life...

    Valve Greenlights 100 New Titles

    Artemis? ARTEMIS. If you've ever wanted to play someone on the bridge of the Enterprise, this is the game to get. Everyone gets a part to play and everyone's part matters. Definitely going to need some voice chat assistance, though.

    Ken Levine: Online Abuse Hurts Gamers In The Long Run

    Seems to me if we prevented teenagers from using the internet until they turned 18, we might see a huge reduction in abuse. But really, if we already prosecute juveniles differently because we acknowledge that they're hormonal, irrational, and not fully capable of sound judgment as far as...

    EVE Online Fights Its Largest Battle Yet, 2,900 Ships Destroyed

    There will also come a day when people stop cribbing LOTR quotes in an attempt to sound badass. Sadly, I don't think that's ever going to happen.

    Star Control Reboot Emerges From the Wreckage of Atari

    One of the Toys for Bob founders, Paul Reiche III, has a long resume in the industry, and is best well known for being 1/3rd of FreeFall Associates (the people responsible for the Archon duology), and designing Mail Order Monsters (which was the kaiju monster battle game of its time, and...

    Star Citizen's Economy Will Respond to Players' Actions

    And since Chris has already got your money, he would have no problem sending in several Bengals-worth of UEE fighters to handle the situation. That's what's great about this model - since he technically isn't beholden to everyone's continued subscription fees, he can make decisive actions in...

    DICE "Begged" to Work on Star Wars: Battlefront

    Yeah, I was about to say, "Hey, wasn't Battlefront just Battlefield but with Star Wars theme and developed by someone other than the Battlefield guys?" Hopeful for this.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara Review

    This, AvP, and the RPG-progressionist throwbackness of River City Ransom (and by relation, the Scott Pilgrim vs The World game) are the pinnacle of the brawler genre. I'd possibly put Dynamite Deka (aka Die Hard Arcade) on the list, but only for its unique 3d perspective at the time. The only...

    Saruman Actor To Voice Deus Ex Machina Rock Opera Game

    I've been following this game for a while now - if the existing footage is still accurate, DEM2 is a series of minigames set to completely original music (I downloaded the soundtrack off of Amazon). I'm guessing it's been in development hell for a while, and needing a funding boost to get it out...

    I'll just stick to my perpetually-owned music collection via Amazon and free-streaming-from-anywhere known as Subsonic, thanks.

    Movie Trailers: Ender's Game - Trailer

    My plan is to see the movie, then donate 3x-5x the ticket price to GLAAD or similar pro-equality charities.
