Tron Pulls Away With Weekend Victory
It was an easy win at the box office this weekend for Tron: Legacy though it didn't open as well as Disney had been wishing for. The film pulled in $43.6 million which is a solid take on a weekend that traditionally doesn't launch in blockbuster fashion and it could have good staying power through the holidays. However after a huge marketing campaign that stretched over multiple years and a $170 million budget the expectations were for much more. Over the past few months though tracking had sh...

Review – Tron: Legacy
As a sequel to the 1982 film, marketing as of late has downplayed the "Legacy" portion of the Tron: Legacy title in ads. The original also has not been re-released on DVD or gotten a Blu-ray release.

There will also be a heavy punch modifier taking the place of the haymaker, and personalized punch animations for specific fighters. As expected the button control scheme will remain an option as well. Hopefully being able to st...
