    Ghost Rider Movie Teasers online.

    Just scoped out the teasers for Ghost Rider (apple.com for HD) and despite some mildly decent imagery and the coolness that is Sam Elliot, there are three little words that spell the doom for this film: Mark Steven Johnson. He destroyed Daredevil and now he will utterly neuter Ghost Rider...

    Assassin's Creed, possibly the coolest game yet for PS3?

    Ubisoft will release Assassin's Creed (a combo of the best parts of splinter cell and prince of persia) in 2007 for PS3. I have read a bunch and seen several clips and interviews about this game and it looks and sounds like the best game coming down the pipe. The button config sounds...

    WTF am I missing with The Da Vinci Code?

    I have read the book and seen the movie and have been heartily intrigued by both, but never once was ever convinced that it was anything but FICTION. Despite the amount of research and effort put forth by Dan Brown, it is currently and will be for all time, FICTION. I managed a bookstore when...

    Cod Iii

    The trailer is undeniably cool, but what possible innovation could ANOTHER WWII shooter present. Better graphics? Better physics? More Realism? As much as I love the franchise, I'm not really impressed by what I have been hearing (which is not much at the moment), but they will really have...

    Who perpetrated the assassination of JFK?

    There are theories abound (as everyone knows) as to who actually killed JFK. I put 10 options in the poll but look forward to reading what people really think happend in Dallas on November 22, 1963. I allow for multiple choices on this poll because many of the available theories overlap. Have...

    For those of you who are considering the purchase of one of the Next-Gen consoles, what will become of your current system?

    X3: The Juggernaunt

    Hilarious!! Now, help me out here. This movie is getting many favorable reviews, but at the same time, many of the clips I have seen have specifically silly parts in them that don't really fit with the flavor or grit of the previous x-men films. I hope and pray that Juggernaut doesn't have a...

    Oh. My. God of War

    Universal pictures has the property (right now), with Alex Gartner as producer. I can't wait to see who else gets attached to this project and based on past experiences, Universal won't wait long to start getting this film in gear, maybe even pushing for a release date around the same time as GoW2.

    Wii Virtual Console, best thing ever?

    For anyone still on the fence as to which next-gen system to buy and anyone who grew up with the NES, SNES, Sega Master, Genesis systems, this should be the ultimate convincer; Wii Virtual Console. This is a quote from the Nintendo website about it. Wii will have downloadable access to 20...

    RPG elements in "action" games?

    Does the inclusion of RGP elements (i.e. 'experience' points for upgrades and character attributes) into "action" games add to or detract from the playability of these games? For example, The Godfather, a GTA clone, uses respect points to allow the player to build up certain features of the...

    Next-Gen Fighting Games?

    I have been pouring over as much E3 coverage as one human being can stand and haven't come across any fighting games (besides some very, very limited Virtua Fighter 5 coverage). I have been dying to see some Tekken 6 activity since the teaser last year, and nothing so far. Am I just behind the...

    PS3 vs. 360 vs. Wiiiiiiiii

    As an older gamer and a parent, I am leaning towards the Wii. The core titles (Mario, Zelda, Metroid) are not only abundant, but they are significantly more family friendly. Also, the integration of the innovations that Nintendo has made seems to be more fluid and accesible in the Wii. The...

    "Looks Good, Plays the Same"

    My sentiments exactly. If the only real innovation for the PS3 is the motion control then what is the point. Fancy graphics on mindless games does not a system make. I would consider myself an excited gamer when it comes to next-gen stuff, but not so much that can't see through the hype and...

    MGS4 Trailer

    Holy cats! MGS was off of my radar until snake eater came out and after playing that and going back to play the others, I am insane with anticipation for the new one. I thought the first trailer was cool, but this one was down right ridiculous, and Raiden lookin' all crazy and cyber-ninja...

    Is a strong story more important than graphics?

    I recently replayed the first Tomb Raider and Tenchu and was surprised at how intriguing these titles still are despite their blurry backgrounds and low ploygon count characters. Given the graphic limitations at the time of their initial release, the developers had to rely a great deal on story...

    Comic Books into movies poll

    I was one of the unfortunate souls who lived through the Hasselhoff 'Nick Fury' movie, that is why I wish on every falling star that the next one will be remotely interesting and with a moderately decent cast. P.S. Did anyone besides me see the Man-Thing movie? Holy Craptacular, I have...

    Sorry for the delay with the poll, should be up now.

    Comic Books into movies poll

    There are literally hundreds of comic book characters that can still be translated into film. I selected a handful for the poll to facilitate the conversation, but please feel free to offer up amendments after you've voted. Some of the choices are already in pre-production, but it doesn't mean...
