    Digimon Cyber Sleuth Is One Of The Best Games I've Played In 2016

    Mike Fahey is my role model, and he wrote this review of Digimon Cyber Sleuth
    , and it’s great, and you should read it, but in case you wanted someone else’s take on an excellent Digimon game, here’s mine: “Finally! A JRPG worth playing!”

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Corrupted My Saves

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a pretty good video game. I like many things about it. It is beautiful. I haven’t predicted where the story’s going yet. I get a kick out of running errands for people. Some of the quests have me genuinely unsure what decision to make.

    Why Horror Is Scarier With Weapons

    Our favorite games are often the ones that made us feel these really cool, powerful things. How’d you feel when you met your first Colossus or saw Rapture for the first time? I think the best games stick with us because everything about them, from mechanics to presentation, is all about crafting that perfect, powerful moment.

  • Telluride 2016: Damien Chazelle's 'La La Land' is Musical Perfection

    Telluride 2016: Damien Chazelle's 'La La Land' is Musical Perfection

    La La Land

    “Is this the start of something wonderful? Or one more dream that I cannot make true.” I’m on cloud nine. Damien Chazelle is such a remarkable storyteller and talented filmmaker, and he’s made his masterpiece. La La Land is musical perfection, an exhilarating and emotional voyage through time, deep into music and cinema. This is definitely one of those movies they don’t make anymore, he made one anyway, and it’s so much more. La La Land is a love letter to jazz, it’s a love letter to cinema, it’s a love letter to dancing, it’s a love letter to Los Angeles, it’s a love letter to having hope, it’s a love letter to dreams. It will sweep you off your feet, possibly break your heart, but will remind you of all the audacious joy to be found in this world. ›››

  • Official US Trailer for Asghar Farhadi's Latest Drama 'The Salesman'

    Official US Trailer for Asghar Farhadi's Latest Drama 'The Salesman'

    The Salesman Trailer

    “What got into you?” Cohen Media has debuted the official US trailer for Asghar Farhadi’s latest film, a drama called The Salesman, which first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a few months ago. The title is in reference to many aspects of the plot, but also specifically Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” which is being performed on stage in the film. That performance is the framework of the film, which actually tells the story of a couple whose relationship begins to turn sour after an incident with his wife home alone. Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidoosti star. I saw this in Cannes and enjoyed it, saying in my review it’s “a thoroughly engaging morality tale that proves once again just how talented of a storyteller Farhadi is.” ›››

    Watch This: Comedic Short 'Life's a Bitch' Directed by François Jaros

    Life's a Bitch Short Film

    Life’s a bitch. Yes it is. This amusing must see short film is from French director François Jaros and it first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival in 2014. It’s a comedic look at how great and how terrible life is, covering all the ups and downs of one man’s adulthood in just over 5 minutes. Life’s a Bitch isn’t the most creative short film I’ve ever seen, but it is genuinely funny and considerably authentic. The main guy in this, played by Guillaume Lambert, also wrote the screenplay. If you need a reminder that life isn’t always perfect every single day, or if you just need a good laugh, then fire it up below. ›››

    Watch: First Trailer for Netlix's Futuristic Time Loop Sci-Fi Movie 'ARQ'

    ARQ Trailer

    “You don’t have to believe me, but I need you to trust me.” Netflix has debuted the first trailer for a sci-fi film called ARQ, produced by Netflix as one of their smaller productions (similar to Christopher Guest’s Mascots). The film is about a unique technological device called the “ARQ”, which an engineer invents and keeps in his own house. Apparently it can “deliver unlimited energy and end the wars that have consumed the world”, but one day he wakes up and finds masked men in his house. They shoot him and leave him to die, but he wakes up alive repeating the same day, like Groundhog Day (the clock is an obvious reference). Robbie Amell stars with Rachael Taylor and a cast including Gray Powell, Jacob Neayem, Shaun Benson and Adam Butcher. This actually looks pretty cool, I’m very curious about checking it out. Enjoy. ›››

  • New Trailer for Power Line Movie 'Life on the Line' with John Travolta

    New Trailer for Power Line Movie 'Life on the Line' with John Travolta

    Life on the Line Trailer

    “Any little distraction will kill you.” Voltage Pictures has debuted another new trailer for the movie Life on the Line, an action-thriller about the risky lives of power line workers. The film stars John Travolta and Devon Sawa as two line workers who end up working during a massive storm that nearly destroys their lives. The cast includes Kate Bosworth, Sharon Stone, Gil Bellows, Julie Benz and Ryan Robbins. We featured a trailer for this earlier in the year, as it looks unlike anything else being released nowadays. It seems obliviously cheesy, but also almost like a throwback to 90’s action movies. Tavolta looks pretty wild, though I’m not sure if this will be any good. The release date listed in the trailer is for Singapore, not the US. ›››

    The Walking Dead: Season Three premieres this November, Telltale Games announced at its PAX panel today. The new season is set a few years after Season 2 and follows series protagonist Clementine and new character Javier.

    Both Clementine and Javier are playable in the upcoming season. Despite their differing pasts, they both struggle to protect their loved ones.

    A “Season Pass Disc” for PS4 and Xbox One will be available for purchase, in addition to digital copies. You’ll still need an internet connection, as the disc only includes the first episode and requires you to download the rest of them. No specific release date was announced for the first episode.

    The Walking Dead: Season Three comes to PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, and mobile platforms in November. The third season will feature the same formula as past games in the series, and in an interview with GameSpot, Telltale explained why it doesn’t need to change things up.
