    Star Trek: Into Darkness is really good...

    No it isn't. There's quite a bit more at play. It doesn't revolve around it, no. It has an impact, but it's not the focus of the film. Which dialogue in particular? Pine to Kirk or Harrison?

    Star Trek: Into Darkness is really good...

    I quite liked it, which is odd given that I disliked the last one. It had some plot holes, canon inconsistencies and fudging of time/distance, but then again, so did Wrath of Khan.

    Elemental Sucker-Punch Gave Stardock a "Black Eye"

    On one hand, credit to them for admitting fault and not resorting to the usual reaction of deflection (piracy, reviewers who "don't get it", advertising, etc). On the other, I have no sympathy. This is the company which released its sanctimonious Gamers' Bill of Rights; key among them that...

    Review: Back to the Future: The Game

    Might wait for the inevitable Steam sale for this one. Sam and Max started out a little slowly too; perhaps the latter episodes will pick up. While we're reviving franchises, I'd love to see a Telltale Star Trek game. The new movie series is bringing it back into the spotlight, the casts of...

    Preview: Civilization V

    Actually, there's a quote from one of the designers that suggests it is gone: I certainly support anything that tightens up the diplomacy system, but I really liked the cultural effect of religion, not to mention the financial bonus once you got the wonder up!
