Madden 11 Copies In The Wild
It was a false alarm when EA Sports was handing out free copies of Madden 11 in Times Square. It turned out the game cases just contained vouchers to redeem for free copies come release day. Even then though it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that Madden 11 had been finalized and copies were beginning to be produced it still seemed way early to imagine the game was done and discs were completed to be handed out. Now though we know for sure that Madden 11 has definitely been finished ...

Comic-Con Trailer: Red
The panel for the graphic novel adaptation Red at Comic-Con today was one of the most entertaining. Bruce Willis was funny as usual, Helen Mirren was really amusing and clearly having fun with a role that is so different for her, and I really like Mary-Louise Parker.

While I remain somewhat iffy on the film as it just hasn't clicked wi...

I have not however heard of any changes in the works for censored words within Dynasty Wire stories that have no business being censored. Hopefully tweaks will be made soon. The 20 minute wait time to advance each week in Online Dynasty has been ...

Comic-Con Trailer: Tron Legacy
At the Comic-Con panel today for Tron: Legacy eight minutes of the film was shown (and in 3D) which I was very impressed by and then the panel closed with the playing on the brand new trailer. That trailer has now arrived online. Tron Legacy is the sequel to the 1982 classic Tron. Jeff Bridges returns in his role of Kevin Flynn and Garrett Hedlund plays his son Sam Flynn. The movie also stars Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen. The story centers on Sam attempting to find his father, who has ...

According to Del Toro who was brought out on stage when the announcement was made, The Haunted Mansion will be live action, in 3D, and will not be a comedy. He will be going for a darker, scarier take with the intention for it still to be a fun ride. The Haunted Mansion ride opened at Disneyland in 1969. T...

THQ Blames Poor UFC Sales on RDR
Sales of UFC 2010 Undisputed have been very disappointing for THQ this year, with them having fallen 59% year-over-year for the first month. A number of factors for the tumble can be contemplated however THQ believes it is due to the release of Red Dead Redemption, which crushed with huge sales. It released one week before UFC 2010. In an interview with MCV, THQ's UK marketing director had the following to say: "Our sales were softer than where we would have liked them to be," Rooke told...
