Adam Sessler’s Roundtable Discussion With ‘X-COM’ And ‘XCOM’ Creators Is Must-See
XCOM’s Solomon, X-COM’s Gallop, Rev3’s Sessler. Here we go.
During last week’s GDC, Revision3’s Adam Sessler got to sit down with two pretty notable figures in gaming. Jake Solomon, the director/producer of last year’s really good XCOM: Enemy Unknown got to sit down next to Julian Gallop, co-creator of the original X-COM: UFO Defense twenty years ago. For both Solomon and myself, the thought of being next to the creator of our favorite game of all time was a pretty elevating experience.

Starbreeze Says “Games Are Too Long”, They’re Kinda Right
Syndicate wasn’t long by any stretch of the imagination.
After the commercial failure of Syndicate, a game I enjoyed, it seems fitting that Starbreeze is taking on a whole new direction with Brothers: A Tale Of Two Brothers. In an interview with PC Gamer, one you should read, Filmmaker Josef Fares, who’s working with the developer to create the game, delivers a battery of opinions about the industry (like how motion controllers like the Kinect and Move “are bullshit”), but the one that struck me was about how games are being padded for length, something I can definitely agree with.

Disney/Pixar Tease ‘Finding Dory’, Due Out November 25, 2015
Is she lost? Is that a question?

Taking place a year after the original Finding Nemo, and releasing twelve years after that film, Disney and Pixar’s newly unveiled animated feature will once-again star Ellen Degeneres as the blue fish with short-term memory issues. I’m actually kinda excited despite not really enjoying Finding Nemo when it released.

‘House Of Cards’ Coming To DVD/Blu-ray In June Because Money Is To Be Made
Francis wheels and deals on shiny discs soon enough.
Watching House of Cards over the course of two days (and loving it), it had never crossed my mind that at some point, the rights to the physical release may have been purchased. Well, turns out Sony bought them from Media Rights Capital, the group who owns House of Cards, and will be bringing the series to all your traditional shiny discs on June 11th because, sadly, it’s still not the future in some places.

Funny Or Die’s Reveals Teaser Trailer for ‘iSteve’ Jobs Biopic

Ahh, New York. I wonder if Ray’s is still open. I could use a slice!
I’ve written about Star Citizen a few times in the past couple months and every time the opportunity presents itself, I also get more and more excited about what’s coming up.

Well, the guys over at Roberts Space Industries have been hard at work on some concept art for the upcoming game and I have some of it here to share with all of you. Check it!

‘Pineapple Express 2’ Coming Out? Oh Wait, What Day is it Again?
A sequel, you say?
Y’know, after telling yourself everything on the internet is an April Fools’ joke over and over, you sometimes get caught thinking you’ve stumbled upon something real. That was my initial thought when I clicked the play button for Pineapple Express 2. I quickly gathered what it was for before they flashed the “April Fools” at us. Read the rest of this article…
