A new documentary charts the history of the Call Of Duty videogames. Here's our review...
Games
The Call Of Duty videogame series is, as gamers will attest, a juggernaut. It attracts revenues akin to those of blockbuster movies, cost about as much to make, and every year, queues of people turn up for a midnight opening to get their hands on the new release. Not bad for a franchise that started in 2003, and has now become one of the very biggest videogaming - and entertainment - series on the planet.

According to some behind the scenes information, Titanfall could have hit more than just consoles.
A new app for Titanfall released called The Final Hours of Titanfall. Within it are some behind the scenes information about the making of the game. A great deal of the information is simply the whole lawsuit stages that the studio went through. As most know, Activision wasn't too thrilled about Vince Zampella and Jason West departing only to end up at EA. They also were not too thrilled about losing a lot of money on Call of Duty.
A good understanding is held through it to showcase why West actually left Respawn too. According to the articles a majority of the companies early stages had the studio cut in half. Half the team was working "heads-down" on Titanfall, while the other half was stuck in court battling it out with Activision. This lead to...

Remember that studio started by Jason West and Vince Zampella called Respawn that has been making a new game for several years now? Well it will debute at E3, but some leaked information has already been released.
The only thing we have seen from the development of this game, dating back to 2010, has been some blurry images to tease the upcoming title. Then we had some rumors of the game being called Titan due to some copyrights being made, and now we have a leak from Game Informer that tells us a whole lot.
The game will be titled " TitanFall," and will be showcased on next months Game Informer magazine. The leaked images come from NeoGaf and showcase a female character taking down some enemies with a gun. Game Informer doesn't hide the fact this studio has been in fights with Activision at all by including "After a bitter split...

So there are two movements peacefully coexisting within the horror community regarding the quality of video you’re watching at home on your oversized television screen. The first movement involves a thing called a “blu ray” (not a death ray so don’t feel threatened by it). It provides beautiful high defintion picture, crystal audio, plenty of space for rad extra features, usually, more special features than your brain has room for. On the other side of the spectrum, there’s shot-on-video movies. By shot-on-video or Sov for short we mean movies that are shot on or made to look like they’ve been shot on camcorders on VHS tape or other similar medium. I believe the word you’re looking for is dichotomy or maybe something more philosophical like yin and yang. Today we’re here to talk about the Sov varietal with which you may be slightly unfamiliar...

Our favorite suave and chic crime lord Don is back after escaping from Interpol agents Roma (Priyanka Chopra) and Malik (Om Puri) in the first part of this franchise. We pick up the story after a 5-year gap (most of which Don has spent growing his hair and getting a butt ugly tattoo probably as the trend of wearing a tie under your shirt wasn’t taking off).
After becoming the ruler of Asia’s drug empire, he has now set his eyes on conquering Europe too. The top gaudy shirted crime bosses of Europe get together to get rid of Don but by doing so they set into motion the return of the king. This time his plan is to steal the currency plates for Euro Notes, I think he probably watched Lethal Weapon 4 a few times when he was kicking back and having his hair braided by Apache Indian’s stylist,...

Don 2, for all intents and purposes is an important film for Shah Rukh Khan especially after the flak he received for Ra.One and all its overkill and hype. The first Don, released in 2006 was a remake of an Amitabh Bachchan classic of the same name with a slight twist at the end, and its sequel moves the story forward.
Don 2 takes place approximately five years after the first one with the ruthless Don (Khan) still at large and on every wanted list across the globe. Inexplicably, he surrenders himself to Interpol officers Roma (Priyanka Chopra), Malik (Om Puri) and the authorities in Kuala Lumpur in the hope of gaining immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for information on all his contacts and illegal activity.
Once inside prison, he befriends his archenemy Vardhaan (Boman Irani) and escapes with him to carry out a cunning plan that will bring Europe...

Everyone who’s seen this list have the same thing to say about it more or less, and that is, what exactly is Wet, X-Men, and Modern Warfare doing on that list when there were other games like Dragon Age: Origins that certainly had great stories and dialog. Now I’m not going to defend MW2’s cookie-cutter military story, but...
