“Why can’t all video game movies be this GOOD?”

This past Saturday we hit the theater to check out “Prince of Persia.” I’m sure a lot of hardcore gamers out there are skeptical of what Disney may have done with this latest “Game-to-Movie” adaptation, but we can assure you this was no failure. I was about to give you a quick rundown of WHY some might be skeptical, but this should cover it for you…

We urge you to give this one a chance. It was nowhere near the disappointments from the past. “Prince of Persia” is definitely a good start to turning this skepticism around. I must say that it wasn’t perfect when it came to canon, but it was by far the best Game-to-Movie adaptation as of yet.

Red Dead Redemption Review

So, when Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar San Diego was announced, I was kind of reluctant to care. However, I was in GameStop last week with some friends on the release date of Redemption, I saw the box and figured I may as well try it.

New iPhone Rumours Intensify – Tech Tuesday #41

So, many of you were skeptical about my articles (parts 1 and 2) a few weeks back around the suspected leak of the new iPhone model. Well since then there has been another siting of the alleged iPhone 4G, this time on the Vietnamese site TaoViet. To further fuel the fires of suspicion, Walmart just dropped the price on the 16GB model 3GS to under $100!

I Smell A Montage

Bungie has closed the doors on the beta for Reach, but before doing so they called out to the community for them to show the most interesting/bad-ass moments from their experiences on the beta. The community delivered. So what do you do with a bunch of film clips from awesome kills, weird glitches, and just hilarious moments? You make a montage, of course, and set it to some catchy tunes. That is precisely what our good friends at Bungie has given us as a thank you to everyone who played the beta and helped give them the data they need to tweak the final game.
