Uncharted Film Gets New Director
Fans of Sony's Uncharted video game series were thrilled to learn in late May that director David O. Russell was leaving his position writing and directing the film adaptation.

For anyone considering a purchase of the Madden NFL 12 "Hall of Fame" Limited Collector's Edition don't jump at the product solely because it is being marketed as something special. It's important to take a look at the total package and determine its true worth especially considering the difference in price between that and the regular version is substantial.

Review: Horrible Bosses
Three men plot to have their superiors eliminated in the comedy Horrible Bosses. Played with effortless nature by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day, the guys are out of their element as they conspire to find a solution to their misery. Unfortunately the film never really seems to nail down the driving forces behind the characters and its accompanying tone despite the laughs. (more…)...

New EA Sports Games Could Be Announced This Week
EA Sports has been teasing the development of three new titles but bypassed the chance to make any announcements at E3.

The 'Summer Showcase' takes place this coming Thursday and the company has already stated they will be making some big announcements. The event is not EA Sports specific but has been used as a springboard for news on sports games ...
