This Is Why ‘Hotline Miami 2’ Is My Most-Anticipated Game Of 2013

Yes. Yes. Yes!

When I say that Hotline Miami just barely missed out on being my favorite game of the year last year, I mean just barely. The extremely violent and ultimately cathartic combat puzzler struck a deep cord with me and aside from a buggy PC release and a plot that didn’t quite go down the rabbit hole deep enough (as odd as that is to say), it’s easily one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. With gameplay footage of its sequel finally finding itself on the web, I wonder if it can reach the same heights – or exceed – its predecessor.

‘World War Z’ Review: A Novel (Albeit Bloodless) Zombie Movie

‘World War Z’ Review:  A Novel (Albeit Bloodless) Zombie Movie

“Movement is life.”

I’ll be upfront: I’ve never read Max Brooks’ World War Z and I have no intention of reading it. Most zombie movies and books skip the apocalypse and jump right into the post-apocalypse. Why? Because slow-moving zombies—little more than shambling meat sacks with teeth—would never be able to bring down human civilization. I will never be able to swallow that premise, and thus, I have no intention of wasting my time reading a book devoted exclusively to that premise. Max Brooks could be the Cormac McCarthy of zombie fiction, and it wouldn’t change my opinion. That said, however, this complete bastardization of Max Brooks’ novel is actually watchable. Fans of the book will be disappointed, but casual movie goers should find plenty to like here.

‘Monsters University’ Review:  Not Just for Kids

Pixar is back!

Monsters University, the prequel to Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., puts the studio’s brand back on track following a few recent stumbles. A send-up of ‘70s and ‘80s college comedies, Monsters University doesn’t feel as daring or original as Pixar’s best films, but it makes up for those limitations with solid storytelling. This film may not be the most memorable film the studio has ever produced, but it’s well worth the price of a ticket.

Would Microsoft Just Fire Don Mattrick Already?

Would Microsoft Just Fire Don Mattrick Already?

Mattrick is the figurehead of what the Xbox is doing wrong.

I stood by Microsoft and the Xbox One’s “always-on” calls that enabled a wonderful futuristic tomorrowland. I did it even when I was being shouted down for it. I did it even when Microsoft was doing their best to make the customer seem like the enemy. One thing I won’t stand for though is Don Mattrick, the well-dressed man with the ragged hair that only speaks in PR-code and only appears when a press conference is nigh. I’ve chided him for his aloofness on this site and I believe he represents everything that Microsoft shouldn’t be. As the President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business overseeing the Xbox and all of the entertainment associated therein, he’s fully responsible for what’s going on and it seems that no one will hold him accountable, but there’s definitely some action required.

343’s ‘Halo’ Trilogy No Longer Just A Trilogy, Here’s What That Means

343’s ‘Halo’ Trilogy No Longer Just A Trilogy, Here’s What That Means

More Halo!? Say it ain’t so!

GameSpot UK is reporting that 343 Industries’ post-Bungie Halo trilogy – or Reclaimer story – is no longer confined to just Halo 4, 5 and 6, but tons of games beyond that. This explains a lot regarding why their tease during the Microsoft conference was number- and subtitle-less. But what does it really mean? Let’s dig in a little deeper.

Minecraft?  Yep!  Thaumcraft?  ABSOLUTELY

Thaumcrafting? Yes please!

Throughout the years, Minecraft has continued to evolve from a simple mine, build, mine, build, mine, get bored, quit game to a fully featured and bountiful game of build-y goodness. This is especially with the advent of a number of mods that are available to expand the capabilities of the game and give out all sorts of other stuff we can do. One of those things is the ability to do magic and build all kinds of magical devices. If that’s what you’re interested in, read on!

Should You Ditch Vine For Instagram Video? Here’s 5 Reasons Why

The answer is ‘yes’.

After today’s ruckus about Instagram video and obviously copying Vine and whatever, the real question still stands: does Instagram make a superior product? Does Zuckerberg’s dominion over this fiefdom guarantee its success when something like their Snapchat clone – Poke – falls off the Earth in a matter of moments? Here’s 5 reasons why Instagram video is here to stay and why you should ditch that silly ol’ Vine.
