‘Dredd’ Producer Says “Probably Not” In Regards To Sequel
Don’t go away, Dredd!
There just aren’t enough Russells in the world. While he went to see Dredd in theaters (and loved it), Kelly and I waited until months later when it surfaced on VOD to see it (and loved it). Unfortunately, it appears the film’s poor box office showing has doomed any future installments in the series, as a producer on the film is not so confident about a sequel.
‘Shackleton Crater’ Kickstarter Stopped, Moon Colonization Game Needs New Way Into Space
Looks like our dreams of colonizing the moon are pretty far out, even in our fantasies.
Guys, I feel like I let you down here. I’d read about Shackleton Crater weeks ago, I’d even read Polygon’s lengthy piece profiling the game and its creator, EA co-founder Joe Ybarra. Hell, the studio is even local to the FEZ Palace. Through all that though, something about the game just didn’t click with me – or with gamers apparently. Developer Joe Got Game shut their $700,000 Kickstarter ask yesterday after only bringing in $27,000 with two weeks left to go. It’s only now that I feel I’m really getting the game.
Oculus Rift Plus Liquor Is A Special Kind Of Hell, Says Makers
Oculus presents its own set of issues, you don’t need to make those worse!
We’ll be getting our first hands-on experiences with Oculus Rift come E3 in June, but word is quickly spreading from those who have been using the recently-released development kits – of which Oculus has produced ten thousand – that VR might not be for everyone. So why make it worse?
‘Independence Day’ Sequels Are Exactly What The World Needs
…but we’ve rebuilt!
While we’re talking about Roland Emmerich, the German director revealed that on the precipice of Independence Day‘s 3D re-release in July, back-to-back sequels are in the pipe, although probably further out than we think. Rumored for years, he and co-producer Dean Devlin apparently have had issues securing funding for such movies, which is straight-up bizarre because Independence Day is money.
‘White House Down’ Is ‘Olympus Has Fallen’, But Better? [VIDEO]

There will be helicopters involved in the taking down of our capital. Or aid against. I don’t know.
Yesterday, Sony showed a teaser for Roland Emmerich’s “storm the capital” movie that doesn’t happen to be called Independence Day. Details are really scarce, but comparisons to Gerard Butler’s recent White House thriller are inevitable.
Scam Artist Paul Ceglia Doesn’t Own 50% Of Facebook, Says Judge
…and that’s the rest of the story.
Back in October, we talked about Paul Ceglia right as he was being arrested for wire fraud. In one of the weirdest turns in the rise of Facebook’s power, Ceglia declared that Zuckerberg owed him 50% of the company because of a contract related to some work Mark had done for him back in the early days of Facebook. Facebook, in turn, laughed off the case and Ceglia’s claims. So did the forensics experts.
Plague, Inc. (Android) Review: Oh, To Destroy Humanity!
It’s fun to see your terrible creation spread across the land, but this zoomed view is useless beyond the pregame.
I’m not sure how I missed the October release date of Plague, Inc. on Android, but I’m more than making up for it now, right? Trust me, had I known, I would have let you know sooner! Sure, the game isn’t a new concept – having been done by Pandemic 2 in Flash, the version I played years ago – but between some clever showmanship and an incredibly replayable design that fits well on my mobile (except for the battery draining part), you haven’t had this much fun with a virus simulator before. Did I mention it’s free?
GDC 13: ‘Star Trek’ Given Extra Development Time To Match Film, Better Not Be Garbage
To boldly go and such.
The Game Developers Conference, currently ongoing in San Francisco, isn’t a place for media like us to soak in the rays, you have to fight for the insight. This is a place for game developers to share the secrets and give talks after all. Still, Paramount was willing to deliver a little nugget of information in that their upcoming Star Trek game was given a full extra year development to match the release of the film. That’s a lot of faith in a game that, from casual glance, could be construed to be a cheap movie tie-in.

Enter UK-based startup Rent a Mourner, a service that provides professional mourners to supplement your thin invite list.
‘SimCity’ Bug Allows Urban Planners To Make Stratospheric Highways
I wouldn’t drive on it.
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past few weeks, you’d know that SimCity has plenty of big issues left to resolve, like the fact that poor AI undoes your city’s endgame because braindead drivers choke up your city, preventing many important services from taking effect, or the fact that you can’t kick players out of your region, or restart cities, on and on. Well, at least this bug is fun.
