Castle: Reckoning Review

The end of the 3XK two-parter is here and its filled with interesting performances and visuals. Here is our review. Ricks vigilante maneuvers are at the heart of this episode.

How MMORPGs Can Better Implement Time Travel

Time travel is often used in MMOs, but never implemented to its full potential. We have some ideas how this could change in the future. If theres one plot gadget we dont see very often in MMORPGs, its time travel. One solid example of an MMORPG that steps fairly close to the time travel continuum is FuncomsThe Secret World.

Geek god Mr William Shatner has an array of non-Star Trek movie roles under his belt. Outside of Captain Kirk, which are his best? William Shatner is a curious case of international super-stardom. But of course, we all love him in spite of that. In fact, you could probably argue that we love himbecauseof that. When he reined it in, Shatner was equally capable of turning in excellent performances. The result was an undeniably fantastic leading performance in one of the best-loved science fiction films of all time....

Does Resident Evil: Revelations 2 take the series back to its horror roots? Robert has a hands-on with Capcom’s latest sequel… Survival horror has transformed significantly since the term was first popularized byResident Evilin 1996. My first survival horror experience came withResident Evil 2at some point in the late 90s. The worlds ofBanjo-Kazooie,Zelda,Mario 64,andSpace Station Silicon Valley(anyone?)

Ironically, I am more like Fi in this scenario where I dont want to make a stand....
