7 Movies You Can't Miss In 2012

There are so many movies this year that it's really hard to breakdown which ones are worth your hard earned coin. The first quarter of the year is usually reserved for a lot of the stuff that isn't all that great, although one movie does eek its way on to this short list. Keep in mind that this list will not include any Oscar-worthy flicks. I sifted through the movies that I thought would either be forgotten or simply ignored. After doing the homework, I found the lucky 7 and why you should see them. The list will start at seven and work its way down to what I consider the number one movie you shouldn't miss this year. 7. Snow White &...

Mass Effect 3 Voice Acting Cast

When you play the Mass Effect games its like you are playing your way through a full on feature film. Not a game. That’s what makes the Mass Effect franchise and universe so engrossing. You care about Shepard and all of his brothers and sisters in arms. Which is why when you are making a monumental game such as this you want a cast of voice actors and actresses that can pull their own weight and make the universe that much captivating. -Going in order of appearance in the trailer- Martin Sheen played the Illusive man in Mass Effect 2 and was fantastic. He gives off a vibe of unquestionable authority while at the same time has a very...

2012: Armageddon For Nintendo?

 Imagine a world without any more Zelda and Mario games. Imagine when we’re older, when we all have children, that on their 18th birthday, we give them our old Nintendo systems coupled with the top hits from our time. It’ll be a sad day when Nintendo finally does close its doors for good, and that day might be sooner than we all think. Last Thursday, Nintendo broke some gut wrenching news; they revealed that between March and December 31st, their fiscal year, they lost $623 million whereas in the previous year, they gained $639 million. For whatever the reason, it’s starting to become clear that this generation wants more hardcore consoles...

Soul Calibur V Review

Its been three years since the last Soul Calibur game and Namco has decided it was a good time for another game. Not too short that fans are tired of the game, but not long enough that they’ve all forgotten. Should Soul Calibur V have stayed in Namco’s closet? Or is it a worthy buy? Let’s take a look at what we’re dealing with. You start out as a holy warrior, Patroklos, trained to slay the Malfested. He faithfully served Graf Dumas for years in hope to find his sister, Pyrrah, who was kidnapped when she was a child by the Malfested and to also get revenge on the vile creatures for killing his mother.

"7500" First Trailer

Ryan Kwanten, Amy Smart, Jamie Chung, and Leslie Bibb all star in Takashi Shimizu's new horror flick "7500". If you couldn't guess within the first 6 seconds of the trailer, it is the name of the flight. This is the only thing since The Grudge that Takashi Shimizu has done. Ryan Kwanten and Amy Smart are a couple in this film aboard Vista Pacific Flight 7500 with Jamie Chung and Leslie Bibb as hot stewardesses. The flight departs from L.A and arrives at Tokyo which takes a grand total of 10 hours. However, we soon learn that ordinary people are not the only passengers on this flight. A super natural entity resides on the plane to terrorize...

A Look at Ninja Gaiden 3

We're still a little more than a month away from the release of Ninja Gaiden 3 but it's never to early to get some juicy details on what to expect. GameTrailers.com was able to play a level or two from the Xbox360 version and they got to see some of the new abilities that Ryu Hayabusa has gained since we last met. The dragon sword ability has somehow transferred itself into Ryu's arm which should make for some very excellent kill combos. Also he can now slow time while jumping to aim that insane bow he has. Team Ninja has said they calmed down with the difficulty of Ninja Gaiden 3 to help the noobs out. That might save me an aneurism or two...

Fan-Made Zelda: The Lost Oracle Wii U Trailer

     A very talented and dedicated fan has put their best effort in creating a trailer for a Zelda game for Wii-U. 20,000 YouTube views in one day is a definite accomplishment, maybe not a record, but a nice pat on the back for a job well done. A combination of great art and some good animating makes this seem so real but we know Nintendo could take this to another level. Lets hope someone at Nintendo sees this and takes it to that level. The Wii-U is going to need some serious platformers to launch the system into any kind of success. Judging from their last quarterly results, they need it desperately. Thanks to IGN....

Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet/Phone Gets Release Date

The latest effort to bring a tablet-like experience to your pocket has been underway around the globe for some time, but the states have been left with options that don’t quite cut it.
