What Is This Chronicle Movie?
In an interesting stealth unveil, 20th Century Fox brings us a trailer for the previously unknown found footage thriller Chronicle. Starring some kids that I’ve personally never heard of (except for Michael P. Jordan, aux star in my beloved Parenthood) this looks like a really cool take on what unlimited power can do to a man.

Do We Really Need Assassin’s Creed Movies?
Well, it looks like Sony has picked up the rights to what might be a series of films based on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise. No one quite knows what the narrative will be based on, but the universe is thick enough that whatever story thread they chase should be full of meat. Before Sony locked it down, there had been a bidding war over the property, but I honestly don’t understand why the majors are diving for a property like this.

So what exactly makes Lytro, the camera that promises “living pictures”, so much like the plastic accessory that was bundled with every Guitar Hero? Find out after the break!

Ten Years Later, Is Grand Theft Auto 3 A Sandbox Masterpiece Or Overrated Success?
I hated Grand Theft Auto 3. At school, my friends wouldn’t shut up about it. At work, my customers wanted ‘the game where you have sex with hookers, beat them up, and take your money back’. As an Xbox fanboy in 2001, GTA3 as a PlayStation 2 exclusive was unbearable. Several sequels and plenty of successful copycats proved that it was a successful improvement and starting point for the 3D sandbox genre, but what lessons did we really learn from GTA3 and how has a decade changed my mind?

Steve Jobs Funeral: An Inconvenience To Consumers
When was the last time a funeral service stopped you from walking into a store? The answer is probably never — unless you went to an Apple Store today. A private service for Steve Jobs was held this morning at the campus in Cupertino and all Apple Stores closed for 3 hours in honor. What about honoring the consumer, post mortum Steve Jobs? Just because you died, doesn’t mean everyone else has to suffer!

How-To Use Siri – A Quick Start Guide
I feel I need to write this article to balance out the hate for the iPhone among the staff at FleshEatingZipper, especially for Siri. Yes, I am the only one here that has an iPhone so I can be a fan boy all I want! The one thing Apple does really well is tells you that a feature exists without telling you how to use it so I thought I would put a guide together to help you along. Read the rest of this article…
Sons Of Anarchy Season 4, Episode 7 – Things Just Got Real – Spoilers
To say that this episode of Sons of Anarchy was full of surprises would be an understatement.

Droid RAZR, Galaxy Nexus Team Up, Eat Apple’s Lunch
Look, I guess if you’re super into iOS, that’s fine. It’s a slick walled garden, but it’s still a walled garden. You may call me a hater because I would love me some Windows Phone goodness, but that’s a walled garden I could relate to better considering I’m not into the whole Apple thing. Today’s big Android announcements would’ve been exciting enough if they just showed off new phones, but they didn’t just do that, they unveiled the next major iteration of the OS that makes Apple’s recent 4S/iOS 5 releases look like minor, gimmicky updates in hardware and software. Is Siri the best you got, Apple? C’mon now.
