Ocean Marketing PR Debacle Leads To Internet Crucifixtion

If you haven't already heard about the Ocean Marketing sh*t storm, what's wrong with you? Joking aside, the Ocean Marketing story made the Internet implode upon itself and then regurgitated the finest meme's this side of imgur. We could bore you with the details that have been covered by dozens of other outlets, but what fun would that be? Instead sit back in your cubicle prison and laugh out loud at these absurdly clever meme's.   These meme's are priceless.  Apparently Chistoforo did some name dropping. He was boasting about how he knew several EIC's from prominent gaming websites (Kotaku, Penny Arcade, IGN,...

The Kennedys

The Kennedys are one of the most talked about American families, fitting that a drama piece would be made about them. Now remember the show is a fiction, liberties are taken, it’s not 100% accurate to history but it does a fine job of capturing the Kennedy family. The mini series is laced in controversy, for good reason. Corruption and death seem to follow the family during the 60s. It’s a must see drama. The show takes the powerful family and their real life drama and fits it into a perfect 8 part mini series that really gives you a great look at the famil...

New Dark Knight Rises Trailer Makes Your Loins Swell

The new Dark Knight trailer makes me moist. I'm talking soggy britches moist. The trailer made its debut during the Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (read our review punks) this past weekend. Apparently it changed the lives of about 130 people in a packed theater. One man was quoted as saying "I've seen the face of glory and his name is Batman". That's a total lie, but I can't stress how perfect a trailer this is. This is how to do a trailer properl...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Review

2009's Sherlock Holmes was a welcome surprise when it came out. It seemed Guy Ritchie (director) had finally found the big budget franchise he was born to make. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were great together, and the story was wrought with all the mystery we could ask for. By the end of movie, it had become apparent that a sequel was almost mandatory. Sequels, however, can be very dangerous. They can be amazing, mediocre, or simply awful.  It's hard to see where exactly A Game of Shadow's fits into this equation. This time around we follow the brilliant, yet deranged, Holmes as he stalks his arch nemesis Moriarty (played...

Drawing Sand from the Creative Well

When it comes to good shows I find that eventually they become double edged swords. On one end, the show is so good that you never want it to end. One the other end, sometime shows seem to outlive their quality.  24 was a prime example. It had a large, rabid fanbase. A fanbase that made them tons of money and support to carry them through eight seasons. But the problem with that was: what do you do with a show that prides itself on being shocking and surprising? I was a huge fan of 24, until it seemed like the show became predictable. There was always a mole inside CTU. A member of the President's staff was always truing to undermine...

Rockstar Games Shows Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Sneak Peak

      Rockstar let the guys over at IGN into their secret lair (that's what I think it is) and let them do a hands on preview with the Max Payne 3 Multiplayer. In the new "Gang Wars" mode Rockstar is attempting to combine a few standard multiplayer modes (Deathmatch, CTF) into a narrative driven, round based experience. One example given is your part of a drug bust gone bad so both teams are trying to steal the drugs and money. After one team is successful, a short narrative by Max himself will start and will then lead you into the next rounds objective like defend or attack. (IGN) This sounds similar to something like the Firefight...

Christopher Nolan talks "Dark Knight Rises" and the type of villain Bane will be.

In an interview with the L.A. Times, Christopher Nolan talks about why he decided to go with Bane as the villain in this Batman film and some of his feelings about this being his last raump with the caped crusader. When looking at possible canidates for who would be the antagonist in this film Nolan admits at first he only knew the character of Bane by name and had no idea about his origins or abilities. But after getting an education he realized that Bane is "a very cool character". "With Bane, the physicality is the thing,” Nolan said. “With a good villain you need an archetype, you know, you need the extreme of some type of villainy. The...

Maynard James Keenan Singing Makes For a Badass Transformer's Trailer

The new Transformers: Fall of Cybertron trailer was revealed during the VGA's and what a saucy trailer it was!  The game seems to have a slight cartoonish style but dons a dark theme. Cinematic Director, Dave Cravens said, "we really wanted fans and non-fans alike to look at Transformers like they've never seen it before." This Transformers is definitely something fresh and sets such a stronger emotional appeal than the recent films by Michael Bay, so far. Maynard's song, The Humbling River, reflects hopelessness and despair on the game's plot and sets a perfect tone for the end of Cybertron. We also were able to see a handful of...

Tales From Skyrim: The Wench of Markarth

Dusk, Windhelm, 21st of Heartfelt. After a day of traveling I was able to find the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. I spent a week with them and realized that Astrid was right, I belong here. The Sanctuary was filled with a diverse bunch. I saw Argonians, Redguards, Nords, Apprentice Conjurerer's, and a Jester. Upon meeting Astrid, she gave me a tour of the cave dwelling. It was clear they didn't want to be found. They almost seemed imprisoned in the confines of this stronghold....

It is the Age, the Age of Ra!

Some of you might know who Ra is just by hearing the name while others might confuse it with part of a cheerleading chant. For those of you who aren’t caught up with your mythology; Ra is the Sun God in Egyptian mythology.  The Age of Ra is a great book written by author James Lovegrove. Lovegrove manages to do something that to me has been absent for far too long in modern culture. ...

Survivor Series 2011 Recap

I love wrestling. I really do. And last night I was hoping that the WWE would really blow this PPV out of the water. Madison Square Garden. The Rock. All the ingredients were in place for this to be as memorable as this year's Money in the Bank PPV. But...for me...it wasn't. Now this was a mix of me having to deal with hopefully genius story progression and blatantly crappy storytelling. I'll get this out of the way first, the divas match wasn't the best. I just wish that the WWE would get people to write better plots for these girls. And maybe better ring training. I'd like to see that division get more respect, and I think after the past...

Resistance, Halo and the Future of the FPS

I've played many first person shooters. I love them. It's my gaming niche. I can say with confidence that I'm pretty damn good at these games.

But Resistance made me feel like a small child in a prize fight with Tyson...

Stalk My Friends?!?

I feel like I’ve been using Apples new FindMyFriends app a little more than I should. Don’t get me wrong. Its not like I’m tracking my friends every move, but it is pretty cool to see what they are up to and maybe send off a funny text. Getting over some of the privacy issues I see, this app does make me think about some of the cool and helpful ways it could improve some people’s lives. ​FindMyFriends is a simple app, almost to simple, with a very basic setup. You’re not going to need any codes or knowledge of GPS systems to get online. All you need is your Apple ID along with your password and you’ll be signed right into the home screen....

RAGE: That's it?

Rage is a gorgeous first person shooter that brings rich apocalyptic landscapes and breath-taking skylines. The textures and detail are amazing to look at and even the weapons feel solid and versatile with different ammunition types. Rage also incorporates fun vehicle gameplay and a basic engineering craft to create sentry bots, exploding RC cars, etc. But, once you start mowing down the mutants and bandits throughout the Wasteland, there really isn’t much else. In other words, the lack of story made me want to shoot myself in the face. The game kicks off with your character being stowed away in a bunker called an ARC to survive the apocalypse....

Resistance 3: Isn’t humanity exterminated yet?

Wrapping up on Sony’s exclusive FPS trilogy, Insomniac creates a game with a more emotional storyline and environment with no hope in sight. At the start of Resistance 3 you are put a handful of years later into the Chimeran invasion after the death of Nathan Hale. You play as Joseph Cappelli, the man who merc’d Hale at the end of the second game. Joseph is part of a small survival group including his wife and sick son underneath some desolate town. At this point, it looks like what game is there left to play since the introduction leaves you with a situation where the Chimerans have pretty much stomped all over every continent. Don’t forget that the planet is being terra-formed into a cold wasteland too. So where do we go from here? The plot kicks off with the Doctor who created...
