Irrational and 2K Games' latest hit, Bioshock Infinite has been met with a hell of a mixed response. B-Mask takes all of these stances into account and analyses what we can glean from this — and exactly how much Ken Levine's new attempt at philosophical debate with guns holds up to scrutiny.

The unspeakable has been announced: Frictional Games, the creative studio behind Amnesia - The Dark Descent has been obtained by Capcom, the company behind Resident Evil 6. While some may say that it's a smart move, we believe that the only real horror is what Capcom will do to the flagship title of true video game horror.

Those expecting the same old antics of the previous two Iron Man films will find the rug pulled from their feet- and whether or not they enjoy that sensation, it's sure to say that it has generated some very interesting dicsussion- and this is but one of those explorations.

Review by B-mask
Base sentimentality is rife in this film, something the original film, when it did do it, performed it far more genuinely. The Oz franchise is sorely under-utilized, but if you want to see what the series is capable of, read the books.

Review by Neuroscientist
With a long development cycle and the chance of a gaming experience as rich as the original, Bioshock Infinite had a lot to live up to. Spectacularly it does.

Review by vivvav
An Annual's just a good ol' romp with the characters you love. Maybe something from their past, maybe something from their future. A speculative look at an alternate version, or just a fun idea the author had. This is the charm of Annuals. And this is what DC hasn't been doing lately.

Bioware’s Mass Effect 3 or thatgamecompany’s Journey. Like Tolkien’s Lord of Rings or Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Like Holst’s Planets or Debussy’s Clair de Lune. Like HBO’s Game of Thrones or Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. The jaw-dropping epic or the superlative jewel.

Article by CineMax
The announcement of Ghost in the Shell: Arise, the upcoming newest entry into the renowned cyberpunk franchise, has divided the fanbase into two groups: those who are willing to accept this fresh installment with an open mind and those who are wary of this new incarnation of their favorite series purely on the basis that it's a prequel. CineMax shares his thoughts on the situation as well as explains why he finds the premise of Arise so captivating.

In this new article series, Food For Thought, I start thinking a lot about how some characters would realistically fall within the social and legal system of the 'real world.' In 'Dexter and the Law,' let's speculate a little on how Dexter, a show about a serial killer raised by his surrogate father to murder other killers, symbolizes the complexities of the legal system.

Review by b-mask : September 5, 2012
The original Ratchet and Clank trilogy is still very popular for those growing up in the Playstation 2 era, but does the new collection prove their lastability? From Drek, to Quark, to Cross, to Nefarious, B-mask plays through them all to see if they hold their ranking.

Review by CineMax : January 13, 2012
Time of Eve: The Movie is definitely one of the most intellectual, thought-provoking, yet ultimately heartwarming feature-length films I've seen in quite a while. Oh, but have I mentioned it's an anime? LE GASP!

Review by Kenny Farino : November 8, 2012
"Wreck-It Ralph" gets so much right when it comes to how it presented its story, the character arcs , and even how they handled their gratuitous cameos from already-existing video game characters. It was able to build its own self-contained world in a way where it really was something to behold, and the story was fresh and original. Truly, this is this generation's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Lords of Shadow is a solid, visually stunning 3D Castlevania game that not only ’borrows’ game elements, but improves on many.

Review by vivvav : August 27, 2012
The signal shining in the sky serves as a constant reminder to criminals that there are consequences for villainy, and while Gotham may still have the highest crime rate in the nation, it also stays at its lowest crime rate in recent history. But as with all places, Gotham has myths. And now one of those myths is coming to challenge Batman's claim to the city.
