  • Watch Dogs Box Art Watches You

    Watch Dogs

    Less than week after Watch Dogs stole the show at Sony’s Playstation 4 event Ubisoft has revealed the box art for the fall game. And the most interesting part of this is that it shows that the game is indeed coming for current generation systems as well as the Playstation 4 and next Xbox.

    No release date has been given for Watch Dogs, but it should release in the fall.

    The Victory Tour has begun for Katniss and Peeta as the first posters for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire have gone online.

    The two faux loves are thrust back into the games for the 75th annual event which takes previous winners and has them fight it out again as civil unrest begins to rise up between all the districts.

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire releases on November 22nd.

  • Will The New Xbox Be Revealed In April?

    There are rumors swirling that Microsoft will wait until April to unveil their next version of Xbox in a big event much like with the Xbox 360. This will put the announcement after this year’s GDC which takes place the last week of March.

    If Microsoft is set on doing this it can only strengthen Sony’s chance to make the PS4 shine especially if they now have PAX East and GDC to put more Playstation in the eyes and ears of fans. I thought Microsoft should strike while the iron was hot on the new console talk and announced in mid-March right before GDC and take a little of Sony’s thunder away.

    Waiting until April makes me think that this was the set date all along for Microsoft and that Sony’s announcement this past Wednesday might have caught them off guard. Sony had a great first showing and everyone is now thinking that all the pressure is on Microsoft to match up to Sony’s announcement.

  • Check Out These Awesome Fan Made Posters For Star Wars: Episode VII

    Doing a bit of trolling on the web today and came across three of the better fan made posters I have seen for the next Star Wars adventure. I am sure that this is only the beginning of this with Episode VII being three or more years away from release, but it is nice to imagine what could be.

    If you have come across some more fan made posters for Star Wars Episode VII leave a link in the comments below so everyone can have the opportunity to see them.

  • Challenge Accepted: Watch The Gallowwalkers Trailer

    I extend the same challenge to you. Watch this trailer for Gallowwalkers, a 2006 Wesley Snipes movie that is just now being released. Snipes stars in this zombie western where a famous gunslinger’s dead enemies all begin to come back to life as zombies. How bad can one movie sound? Better question being, how soon can I watch this thing??

    You read that right. Here is the rundown again:

    Wesley Snipes

    Zombies

    Cowboys

    Wesley Snipes

    Zombies

    I will unashamedly say that I will be renting this just for the mere fact that five years from now when someone asks, “Holy crap, have you heard of a Wesley Snipes zombie killing western?!” I will say, “Yes. And it was glorious”.

  • New Iron Man 3 Poster Features The Mandarin

    Soooo are you ready for Iron Man 3 now??

    The newest poster for the Marvel sequel has Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin front and center looking very militant and quite badass.

    One quick thought: as much as I like this poster and Kingsley’s look I can’t help but also get a Sasha Baron Cohen as The Dictator at 65. Seriously, I can’t help it.

    Iron Man 3 releases on May 3rd.

  • Jimmy Fallon Plays Killzone: Shadow Fall

    Guerrilla Games took their PS4 exclusive Killzone: Shadow Fall to The Jimmy Fallon Show and let the host and guest Anthony Anderson get a chance to play. This should put to rest any rumors saying that the demo on Wednesday night was not gameplay because when you see how badly Fallon and Anderson suck at this it is pretty evident that this sucker is real.

    Fun fact: all the weight Anthony Anderson lost was used as Jaden Smith’s stunt double in The Karate Kid.

  • Megan Fox Cast In Michael Bay’s Ninja Turtles…..God No

    Jesus Michael Bay, it’s like you are just doing this sh** on purpose now.

    So remember Michael Bay’s bastardization of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise? You know, where he was going to make them not teenagers or mutants, but rather adult aliens? You had four jobs Bay!! Here it is:

    -Teenagers

    -Mutants

    -Ninjas

    -Turtles

    And he couldn’t even do that correctly.

    The movie was put on definite hold last year while they worked out the kinks in the script and development which I assuming meant actually writing a script and figuring out how to fund this giant clusterf***. Well things are back on you lucky fans. And Michael Bay has decided on his April O’Neil…..Megan Fox.

    I give up.

    You know what we should really have been expecting this. We have great Marvel movies and The Dark Knight trilogy so there has to be a punishment somewhere and Michael Bay is here ready with his cinematic cat of nine tails.
