Game Review: Injustice: Gods Among Us [Xbox 360/PS3/WiiU]
NetherRealm brought themselves back into the foray for good with Mortal Kombat 9. Proving that they were listening to what players wanted on both ends of the spectrum with some little touches that made all the difference, like...
Film Review: Evil Dead
Finally, we can breathe a sigh of relief – Evil Dead is a remake that works. For so long we’ve suffered terrible reboots of franchises we’ve known and loved (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Halloween), still...

Film Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation
It surely can’t come to pass that any film this summer blockbuster season will be more unintelligably dire than Jon M. Chu’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Jonathan Pryce’s character doesn’t even have a n...
