Hillary Duff in Spiderman?!

Meet the new Mary Jane?

The decision to reboot the Spiderman series came as a surprise to most of us despite the abysmal third outing from the Sam Raimi run canon.  It feels too quick to kill off the other series and start over, but Hollywood did it with The Hulk (THREE TIMES!) and they weren’t willing to take the series in the direction that Raimi wanted, so now we’re forced to hit the reset button on this franchise.

Andrew Garfield, a near-unknown, was cast as the lead, which means that the film is currently sitting with ZERO star power. There’s no way the studio is going to release this film without a bankable star to put on the posters, which means you can expect to see a major name as the villain as well as a hot young actress to play Peter’s love interest (who will most likely be Mary Jane.)  Now let’s move on to where I break your heart.

GameLounge at PAX – Game of the Show

The show floor at PAX this year was jam-packed with Triple-A titles. From Epic Mickey to Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood; InFamous 2 to Fallout: New Vegas; Portal 2 to Dragon Age 2; and a little gem called Dead Space 2. Which one of these badass 2010/2011 releases was the GameLounge’s official Game of the Show? None of them. To find our game of the show, you had to wander over to the PAX 10 booth, which housed 10 distinct games from independent development studios. This year the booth housed games like Shibuya, a puzzler for the iPhone and iPad and Super Meat Boy, a platformer banking on its quirky charm to bring in its audience, one game stood heads and shoulder above everything else in the booth. That game was Bastion. Read More

GameLounge at PAX – Hands-On with Killzone 3

Killzone 2 was a monumentally impressive game from a graphical standpoint, and a hot-button topic for gamers in terms of how innovative the combat really was. The gun physics, bullet physics, and jumping physics were all spot-on and remarkably precise, but the controls felt a little floaty, and the camera always felt a little too low to the ground to be a really good first-person shooter perspective.  Well, Farva, UndeadDoG and I all got our hands on Killzone 3 at PAX – how does it stack up against its predecessor?
