It’s disturbingly ironic how Hollywood is capitalizing off of those who were financially affected by the economic downturn. The Company Men, another film of that variety, may not have been bad (for a drama it was able to hold its own), but recommending it is a whole other issue. I mean, if you (or someone [...]

In this week’s video, L.E. and Nathan head to Muzik nightclub in downtown Toronto for Microsoft’s X’11 event! The annual holiday preview event was loaded with so many games that there wasn’t enough time to see them all, so we took a look at a few of the particularly interesting ones. Click the link to watch!

There may have been elements of horror in F.E.A.R. 3, but overall it just felt like a more ominous Call of Duty.

As you probably already surmised from the headline, Epic Games showed off the Horde 2.0 and Beast multiplayer modes from Gears of War 3 at X’11, and I’m happy to say that I was thoroughly impressed by both. Horde 2.0 builds on some already great cooperative survival gameplay by giving you more than just your [...]

Forza Motorsport 3 was a fantastic game, with highly realistic graphics, a wide range of beautiful cars, and loads of races to compete in. And I thought that Turn 10 had hit their peak, the pinnacle of excellence for the series. Well, I was wrong. At last week’s X’11 event, they were showing off Forza [...]

I’ve mentioned in previous rantings how actions movies today suck. And I usually, if I’m discussing an older film, show how a good movie doesn’t need special effects. But I don’t think I ever actually referenced a specific movie that encompasses what a great action film would be. Well, as it so happens, I watched [...]

Ubisoft is bringing Rayman back to his roots with its upcoming title Rayman Origins. It’s the first Rayman platformer in years and the first title in the franchise to actually focus on Rayman himself since… well, the second title in the Raving Rabbids portion of the franchise. Michel Ancel and his team have been working [...]
