The Epic, Full-Frontal Movie Trailer Saints Row IV Doesn’t Deserve

Man, that YouTube thumbnail has totally distracted me from whatever it was I was going to say about this. Oh yes! Pixelated presidential penis aside, this is the trailer for a game I wouldn’t need to be coerced into purchasing with a shiny plastic Dubstep Gun. With some fancy editing and the right voice actors…

Microsoft Accidentally (?) Advertises PlayStation Game

Microsoft’s Dutch Facebook page, maybe realising E3 was on the horizon, has asked readers/fans if they can recognise the four big games shown in an image.

Man Gets Sick Of Playing Xbox, Asks To Go To Prison

You’d think a 19 year-old convicted criminal would be happy to avoid jail in favour of home detention and the chance to get some gaming done, but nope, not in the case of this unnamed New Zealander. Having already served ten months of an eleven month sentence for an undisclosed crime, the man called his…

This Loki Figure Made Me Appreciate The Avengers Costume Designers

As people are probably aware from my fairly frequent posts about Hong Kong collectible toy company Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece figures, I am a bit of a fan of the collectible figurine.

Warhammer 40K Is Getting The Movie It Deserves

I tried to sit down and watch Ultramarines, Games Workshops’ official animated Warhammer 40K film, a few years ago. Made it maybe 15 minutes in. It was awful. Like bad 90’s PC game cinematics. Where official projects fail, however, fan projects can be counted on to succeed. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a…
