[Insert Witty Title Here]

If Game of Thrones was a 16-bit RPG.  Dead-on-balls accurate (it’s a technical term).

I laughed myself silly throughout this trailer for the upcoming Saints Row 3 game.  Saints Row has always been the over-the-top sandbox destruction game that Grand Theft Auto didn’t quite have the balls to be, and the third installment takes it to new and hilarious levels.

I don’t always play console games, but when I do, it’s shit like this.

The Legend of Zelda (1987) Trailer

I have never seen something that is both so beautiful and so horrifying.  On the one hand, this trailer is so fucking perfect it makes me dizzy.  On the other hand, it just might prove that Patton Oswalt is right.  I need to lie down for a bit.

Reboots of old franchises seem to be the hip thing these days.  Most of them are just a half-hearted attempt to squeeze a few more bucks out of a series that has become a joke from endless terrible sequels.

This is different.  Mortal Kombat was sort of a joke to begin with.  Even the first movie in the series was ridiculous.  This reboot seems like an attempt to do for MK what Tim Burton originally did for Batman - take a campy spoof-of-itself and make a legitimate action movie out of it.  It’s not scheduled for release until 2013, but this nearly 8 minute trailer leads me to believe that the new Mortal Kombat might actually be good, brutal fun.

Wow.  There are fan films, and then there are fan films.  Zelda: The Hero of Time is an independently produced feature-length Zelda movie that looks really good, despite its low budget.  I can’t say I’m a fan of Link’s emo eye makup, but otherwise, bravo.  You can watch the entire film on Dailymotion.  I suggest you check it out now, before Nintendo’s legal dicks send a cease & desist.

The first cinematic trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic has just been released, and it is sicker than AIDS.  Watch this in full screen HD.  It’s worth it.

You better believe I have my eye on this game.

“Faith Fighter” Game Unites Religions In Outrage
Have you ever had an argument that amounted to “My imaginary friend can beat up your imaginary friend”?  Well somebody finally got around to making a game out of it, and now all the people with imaginary friends are pissed.  The various faiths of the world don’t agree on much, but they can certainly all get behind the idea of lynching the blasphemer!
Feeling sacreligious?  The game’s original producer has taken it down, but you can still play it here.  I heard that if you beat the game you unlock Galactic Emperor Zenu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster ;)
