I agree only so far as the game is throwing new things at me the further into it I go. The first Assassin's Creed was arguably pretty short, but the endless repetition of missions with only a morsel of new gameplay every other boss-assassination made it feel like it would never end. And I say this being a huge fan of…

Why can't you separate a serious subject matter with a cheesy presentation? It doesn't matter how serious the "bioterrorism" angle is when applied to the real world, when you wrap it up in over-the-top machine wielding mutants or zombie-things the size of cities, well, that can be cheesy. Cheesy isn't always a bad…

Dunno how you couldn't enjoy Amazing Spider-man. Sure, the retread stuff wasn't as compelling, but they added a new depth to the established relationships between Peter and Aunt May/Uncle Ben by giving Pete abandonment issues which I actually liked. I thought the new elements they added (the conspiracy stuff, the Gwen…

To be fair, Mark Millar's run on FF and Ultimate X-men especially were actually really entertaining. So, maybe it'll be good!

If that's how Edgar Wright is going to handle the fight scenes I am all for this.

Didn't they pretty much state this via voice-over in the trailer? He didn't spoil anything about the movie's twist and turns. I've known since Day One it was a time travel movie because it's been billed as a time travel movie since Day One. Trust me, this movie seems well-worth enjoying.

Have you read this?

Can I say, though, that what they've been doing with Spider-man's old villains of late (Venom - Flash, Doc Ock - Dying, the Lizard - a friggin' monster) has been some of the best things to happen to these characters in a long, long time?

That movie is one of the best movies I've seen all year. It has such joy in utterly destroying horror movie tropes, and that ending kicked all kinds of ass.

So, uh, do I need to play the first Borderlands to enjoy this? Because I want to play both, but I kind of want to play Borderlands 2 more.

Heeheehee. TheStrain.

Well, two reasons. I had nothing else to do because I'd played through it twice, and the announced DLC wasn't interesting at all to me. Second, it was to a friend whom I'd raved about the game to and figured he'd want to try it out for himself (he's pretty broke right now, couldn't afford to spend the $60 on a new…

His complaint seems mostly to be about how they never mentioned any of these tricks during the tutorial. Which, while adding to a "mastering the game" feeling, might be pretty frustrating. Imagine going through the entire game without knowing you could parry, dying repeatedly, but finally beating only to learn there…

Yeah! Facts! On a video game blog, run by writers who give their own, occasionally differing, impressions like almost every other video game blog in existence. Don't make up my own mind about controls I haven't even played yet but you have and you're saying you didn't like the way they felt!

Story-driven DLC? That goodness, I was close to selling it to a friend. I loved this game to fucking bits, but when I'd read about the extra-content post-game being purely aesthetic, eh, I wasn't excited. Glad I kept it. Can't wait to see where they take the game from here. The ending didn't do the build-up justice, I…

Aww, I was hoping he was going to do more Drunk Comic Book History!

Oh, you suck for making me realize I totally want to see that happen.

Gail Simone used her during her run in The All New Atom. She's the Chief of Ivy Town!

Thank you. I was just thinking about this. I've been wanting to jump into Judge Dredd, but with stories going back to the '70s I wasn't sure where to start. The Case Files books are already in my Amazon cart.

I'm from the South. That sounds about right to me.
