Rockstar Looks to Kick Ass With Max Payne 3

Rockstar Games wants to get people really hyped about Max Payne 3 and I'll tell you what, I'm pumped! The videos that have been released showing off the technical aspects of this game are really impressive. The latest trailer gives some insight into what is really going on with Max this go round. His latest job was being a bodyguard for a prominent business mans wife, who lives a wild life and ends up kidnapped. So this puts Max into "Man on Fire" mode, hunting and killing anything in his way to finding this woman. If you know anything about the last two games, Max has terrible luck when it comes to women. On top of the two trailers from...

WWE RAW Wrap-Up

Monday Night Raw – February 13, 2012 Our wrestling television week begins with Kane’s focus on the Ambulance he claims will carry John Cena out of the Elimination Chamber PPV in 6 days. Passively advertising a match like this is ideal to me, but as we will see later, that was too good to be true. The true start to the show was the announcement and commencement of an “Elimination Chamber Debate”, which reeks of an NXT challenge. With the exception of CM Punk, R Truth received by far the biggest pop. Laurinitis interrupts Punk, simply to introduce himself and retreat to the back; these people can’t help but waste time. The segment went off...

Mass Effect 3 Demo Impressions

I'm 16 hours into my fifth playthrough of Mass Effect 2. This is all preparation for the third installment in the franchise. Mind you, it's been over a year since I touched the game. I just recently got back into it in order to have the narrative fresh in my head before taking on three.Well it's Valentines Day, and Bioware shows their fans how much they love them by releasing the Mass Effect 3 demo on XBL. I played it through twice as different classes, and I'm going to give you my thoughts on all the things I loved about the demo. Much like we did with our look at the Diablo 3 beta This will be focusing on the single player demo, as I didn't...

Bees Knees Apps: Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride (Halfbrick) is your basic side scrolling obstacle-based game.  Your character is a failing salesman who stumbles upon a secret laboratory who is developing a prototype machine gun powered jetpack.  Pretty straightforward. As you don your deadly jetpack, you need to maneuver your way through super-charged electric barriers, dodge horizontal laser systems and evade homing missiles.  There are even coins to collect along the way. You can see that these scientists do not want their new toy flying out the front door. Why is this any different than the helicopter game on Addicting Games? First of all, it's a...

Thoughts On The Walking Dead Season 2 Return

 SPOILERS BELOW The mid-season premier opened up directly where the mid season finale left off. When I say exactly, I mean when the opening shot comes in, the camera angle is set so the audience is staring down the barrel of Rick's gun seconds following the execution of Sophia. Shortly following the massacre at Hershel’s farm, many of the main issues that the fans have been wondering about since before the massacre were addressed. Did Hershel know that Sophia was in the barn? He says he didn't, but Shane still doesn't buy it. During the premier there are a lot of moral crossroads that are presented not only to the characters...

Comic Book Men Shatters Dreams, Destroys Lives

I don't want to be that guy right now. You know, the guy who just wants to take a dump on anything Kevin Smith, just because he's Kevin Smith. I personally like the guy, and I understand why he's doing Comic Book Men, but what the hell? I'll admit, I liked the show until the employees started talking. Bryan is funny because he's fat and has a beard. And he says things like "Awesome" and "I want to ruin Ming's life". His sardonic tone makes him seem cool, when he's really just the same douchey, cynical comic book elitist who hates that you read digital comics (nobody cares that you buy individual issues for $1-$2 more, moron). Comic Book...

Adam Adamowicz's Artwork Lives On

You may not be familiar with who Adam Adamowicz is, but you know the worlds he created. He was the concept artist at Bethesda and was responsible for the amazing worlds in Fallout 3 and Skyrim. Sadly, Adamowicz passed away, but his artwork will live on.  Fallout 3 is easily one of my favorite games, and I was enamored with the post-apocalyptic world that Adamwicz was able to create. I have also played Skyrim, but I've always prefered the Fallout universe with its steam punk appeal. This isn't to say that the Skyrim universe isn't gorgeous, it's simply matter of preference.  I've been going through Adamowicz's...

Big Cross-over Events vs. Individual Titles

So let’s take a wide lens look at comics of present past, and future. We have DC doing all sorts of crazy, culminating in Flashpoint, which was then followed up by “The New 52.” Essentially, individual titles with minimal cross-over (not including the Green Lanterns on this list) followed by a major event, which ended up in them starting over from scratch. Now that they've started over, we are all wondering “what will DC’s first BIG event be in the coming months?” That's the key here, we don’t know yet, and even if we are given the slightest of ideas, it's still months away from actually happening. There is too much going on in each title...
