UncategorizedCaptain America‘s Got Me Missing Crappy Movie Tie-In Console Games
The official video game tie-in for Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out this week for iOS and Android, and the $2.99 Gameloft joint has me waxing nostalgic for the days of paying $50 for licensed console games that were almost guaranteed crap.

UncategorizedTitanfall, Attack On Titan, Same Difference.
Not everyone gets to ride inside the anime’s titans, and we can’t crunch people in half with the video game’s giant mechs, but in both cases we would if we could. Polariscalls this video a mash up, but it just feels like natural progression to me.

The Saturday Morning Stream: Diablo III: Reaper Of Souls (Stream Over)
I haven’t played much Diablo III since I reviewed the initial release back in 2012. It was nice and solid and Diablo-esque, but it didn’t capture my attention the way earlier games in the series had. Does the Reaper of Souls expansion change that? Watch and find out. Or just read on a bit. The…
