Videogame Releases: Week of February 26th, 2012

Dick Ward — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:00:28 +0000

A version of ‘Mortal Kombat’ that comes with all previously released DLC and a squad-based shooter from Sega make up this week’s new videogame releases. Oh, and ‘SSX’, which I could have sworn came out two weeks ago, but didn’t. Whoops. SSX (360, PS3) Looks like I was a little overexcited about ‘SSX’ and wrote...

A Mountain Out of a Molehill – Videogame Violence Coverage Is Overblown

Dick Ward — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:00:23 +0000

The mainstream media loves to grab hold of stories about violent videogames. In fact, as far back as I can remember playing games, I can remember hearing the news talk about what violent videogames are doing to our children. Whether or not you believe games have some sort of desensitizing effect, one thing is clear:...

Some weeks, it seems like we get nothing at all for new videogame releases. Other weeks… well, other weeks we get ‘Portal 2’, a new ‘Mortal Kombat’, and a release of the ‘Final Fantasy IV’ collection all at once. Portal 2 (360, PC, PS3) If you didn’t play ‘Portal’, go play it now. Buy it,...

I’ve been excited ever since that amazing ‘Mortal Kombat’ pitch video started making its rounds on the internet. The production value, the tone, and the serious nature of the thing had me all but ready to forget about those awful movies made in the mid ’90s. A clip for the new web series has finally...

Remember that ‘Mortal Kombat’ Short? It’s Getting a Web Series.

Dick Ward — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:00:15 +0000

‘Mortal Kombat’ has never been a favorite series of mine, but the web short ‘Mortal Kombat: Rebirth’ made me excited for more. Thankfully, there will be more, in the form of a web series coming this spring. Director Kevin Tancharoen made waves throughout the gaming industry with a short film called ‘Mortal Kombat: Rebirth‘. It...

We’re hoping to find out more with CES rolls around in January, but here’s what we know so far. There are two theories in play right now, both based on a...

Steven Seagal’s Five Best/Worst Straight to Video Movies

Dick Ward — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:00:41 +0000

You may have picked this up already. The only things that I love more than really good movies are really bad movies. It’s important, though, that they’re made with the intention of being good. The stuff on SyFy doesn’t count. Neither do Troma films. The best bad movies are just like the best good movies....

Have You Seen the New Mortal Kombat Pitch Video?

Dick Ward — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:00:55 +0000

This video started making the rounds earlier in the week, and it’s been generating a lot of interest. If you somehow haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for a treat. It’s an eight minute long pitch for a new ‘Mortal Kombat’ movie. And it actually looks pretty decent. There’s a lot of fan service in...
