  • Podcast 11: Adam Orth & Next-Gen Game Consoles Predictions

    We've already made our thoughts about Nintendo's next-gen strategy clear. Now it's Microsoft, Sony and Valve's turn!
  • Iron Man 3

    The trilogy comes full circle- and while it will divide movie goers, it's undeniably bold.
  • Oz: The Great and Powerful

    The Oz franchise is sorely under-utilized, but if you want to see what the series is capable of, read the books.
  • Podcast 10: Horror Is Like Sex - The Decline of Horror Video Games

    ...in which case contemporary horror is as sterile as a nunnery.
  • BioShock Infinite Reaction Analysis: Piecing the Critical Puzzle video by b-mask

    BioShock Infinite Reaction Analysis: Piecing the Critical Puzzle

    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.

  • What If Amnesia: The Dark Descent Was Made by Capcom? video by CineMax

    What If Amnesia: The Dark Descent Was Made by Capcom?

    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.

  • Podcast 11: Adam Orth & Next-Gen Game Consoles Predictions video by CineMax

  • Brony 'Marries' Twilight Sparkle: When Fanboys Go Too Far video by CineMax

    Brony 'Marries' Twilight Sparkle: When Fanboys Go Too Far

    It's been months since we expressed our indignation over the exploits of the worst of fanboy antics, but a recent news article has resurrected our ire towards — you guessed it! — the radical elements of My Little Pony's Brony community. This time an artist of erotic My Little Pony pictures is sent a cease and desist letter by a man who claims to have married Twilight Sparkle.

  • Podcast 9 Part 2: Sequelitis, Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles, Rambo 5 & More! video by CineMax

    Podcast 9 Part 2: Sequelitis, Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles, Rambo 5 & More!

    This episode: How would a 'gritty' reboot of the CCS Video Podcast look? The true origins of The Expendables movie franchise! Egregious horror movie remakes! LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask's hysterical reaction to Michael Bay's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot! And B-Mask's idea of an idea police drama TV series... which happens to star Bill Cosby.

  • Iron Man 3 review by b-mask

    Iron Man 3

    Review by b-mask

    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.

  • Oz: The Great and Powerful review by B-mask

    Oz: The Great and Powerful

    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.

  • Bioshock Infinite review by Neuroscientist

    Bioshock Infinite

    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.

  • DC's Annual Trouble review by vivvav

    DC's Annual Trouble

    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.

  • Neuroscientist's 2012 Game of the Year review by Neuroscientist

    Neuroscientist's 2012 Game of the Year

    Review by Neuroscientist

    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.

  • Rise of the Guardians review by b-mask

    Rise of the Guardians

    Review by b-mask

    With Wreck it Ralph not out in British theatres til February, B-mask has to settle for Rise of the Guardians- with mildly disappointing results.

  • In Defense of Ghost in the Shell: Arise article by CineMax

    In Defense of Ghost in the Shell: Arise

    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.

  • Food for Thought: Dexter and the Law article by Kenny Farino

    Food for Thought: Dexter and the Law

    Article by Kenny Farino

    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.

  • Top 10 New 52 Comics article by vivvav

    Top 10 New 52 Comics

    Article by vivvav

    Which series are the best? What are the comics that have kept me coming back for more, that I'll happily recommend to anybody at a moment's notice? What comics have made this reboot worth it, and don't make me wish for DC to revert to the old continuity?

  • The Padded Room: The Truth About HD Video Game Remakes article by LaughingMan

    The Padded Room: The Truth About HD Video Game Remakes

    Article by LaughingMan

    Why buy one when you can buy two at twice the price?

  • Ratchet And Clank HD Collection

    Ratchet And Clank HD Collection

    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. 

  • Time of Eve: The Movie review by CineMax

    Time of Eve: The Movie

    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!

  • Wreck-It Ralph review by Kenny Farino

    Wreck-It Ralph

    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?"

  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow review by LaughingMan

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    Review by LaughingMan : November 10, 2010

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

  • Neuroscienist's 2012 GOTY

    Neuroscientist's 2012 Game of the Year

    Review by Neuroscientist : February 1, 2013

    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.

  • Highlander: The Search for Vengeance review by ONOE

    Highlander: The Search for Vengeance

    Review by ONOE

    There can be only one. May it be Highlander: The Search for Vengeance.

  • Batman The Court of Owls Review by Vivvav

    Batman: The Court of Owls

    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.

    Mass Effect

    Review by zimes : January 27, 2012

    In anticipation to the third installment in the Mass Effect trilogy, Zimes brings us the first entry in his massive Mass Effect Series Review.
