My only problem with Origin is that they rarely (never?) have any significant sales. Even now, the 'Deals' section contains 4 Pre-Orders and OMG Free shipping on orders >$25!! (for a limited time. On a digital distribution platform. Riiiiiiiiiiiight). As a consumer, I'm willing to put up with...

I believe there's a saying about things being broke and fixing them. Yes, Johnny Depp's playing essentially the same role in a different movie, but so what? There's dozens of actors that do the same thing, it's just that Johnny is in the rare subset that gets to do it with a large budget behind...

Hmm, I think we may be approaching the heart of the issue. I have no experience with the Lone Ranger, beyond being aware of the characters' names, the silver bullets, and the William Tell Overture. So coming into it I had no conception of what a Lone Ranger movie 'should' be. So POTC meets...

Uh...Huh... Well if you're that type, then I can see we're going to have some difficulties connecting on the same level. But OK, you ask why they should be rewarded for making the same movie, let's look into that (leaving aside the fact that critics aren't saying "It's the same movie as POTC...

I just brought it up to show that it's demonstrably false that EVERYONE loved the first Pirates. Yeah, more people liked it than didn't, but that doesn't mean the latter didn't exist, especially among the critics. But I'm fine with moving on. So...wait, have you actually seen the movie? Or...

The 63 Metacritic rating would tend to disagree with you Why do you say POTC rehash like that's a bad thing? As stated I thought POTC was awesome, so if they try to recapture the same magic I say go for it! And I think they actually did a better job recapturing it here than they did in the...

Holy crap, am I glad I went into this without having read the reviews. I went in with no real expectations, good or bad, and I walked away from it thinking that it was a solid popcorn flick in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean (not quite as good as the first one, due to the slow pacing in...

Just remember that this is for the entire year, and that there wasn't really any sort of tent-pole games bringing in money in the first half of the year. They lost 204 million between Q1 and Q2, mainly cause all they had to rely on was catalog sales, the unfortunately lackluster Max Payne, and...

....Seriously? We're doing articles on Twitter posts now? Not since 24 Hour Cable News have I seen such speculation coming from so little.

Why not? Comstock wasn't Elizabeth's father, Booker was. She might still be named Anna, but a rose by any other name can still drown you in a river. Or something.
