Just When You Thought You Couldn’t Care Less About Binary Domain, a Multiplayer Trailer Arrives
I’ve not played any of Sega’s upcoming sci-fi shooter Binary Domain, so it could be the best game ever created by human humans for all I know. I’m having an incredibly difficult time mustering any excitement at all for the title, and this new multiplayer trailer isn’t helping at all. I blame Square Enix. Remember…

Syndicate Does Dark and Terrible Things to Poor Rosario Dawson
On the left we have Rosario Dawson, in my opinion one of the most attractive actors working today. On the right, a soulless husk with eyes that have seen such horrors… such horrors. A creepy vessel used to transport Dawson’s voice into EA’s Syndicate. She looks worse than Cox. Dawson, star of Sin City, Men…

What Effect Did Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s Launch Have on World of Warcraft?
Not much, apparently, at least not in December. Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime was only able to give a vague answer to the question presented during the Q&A portion of today’s Activision Blizzard financial results call, but that vagueness speaks volumes.
