Robocop Stopping Perverts on Japanese Trains
As part of the public service campaign, Robocop is doing his part to nab unsavoury perverts on Japanese trains. Your move, creep!
RoboCop Caused $8 Million Worth Of Damage By Today's Standards
How much property damage could one cybernetic cop possibly do? Quite a lot, it turns out.
Robocop, Titanfall, and Final Fantasy All at the Same Place
Their current publishing output may not be making folks happy. iOS releases like Final Fantasy VI may feel like some kind of bad joke. But, y'know what, the one arena where it feels like Square Enix can do no wrong is with their wonderful, wonderful toys.

The Robocop remake, out in theaters today, is a pitch-perfect, badass update of a movie that is practically legendary. As if that weren't surprising enough, it also manages to revive that lost art of the 80s: the smart B-movie that stumbles a bit but still goes where blockbusters fear to tread.

Didn't we just go through this with Morgan Freeman? Look, this is even worse. If there is one black guy you do not want to confuse for another black guy, it is Samuel L. Jackson, because he will not let your ass off the hook.

You're not fooling anyone, Glu Mobile. The official RoboCop game you put together for the new movie is obviously a slightly more action-oriented take on the oddly-popular Deer Hunter 2014. Not a bad choice.

If you removed all the bits featuring robots, cops, and any combination of those two from the second trailer for 2014's Robocop reboot, you'd still have a movie that looks like a blast. That's great. Also not great.

Here's the first trailer for the upcoming Robocop reboot. It's got quite a cast. And hey, there are some nice nods to the original in there, from his voice effects to the design of the suit itself. But everything else going in makes it all look, well, a little silly.

Video game endings back in the 80s and the early 90s were never really all that complicated. A short animation or a few screens, sometimes text only. But, hell, it still felt so rewarding when we were able to experience it for the first time after beating a hard game.
