Owners of Microsoft’s recently released Xbox One console are reporting a very particular issues – a grinding disc drive that fails to read discs properly.

Atlus Announces Persona 5

Posted on November 24, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Atlus has released a very cryptic trailer for the newest entry in their Shin Megami Tensei franchise, the highly anticipated Persona 5. A very brief trailer was posted online today, which reveals little about the title. In the less than minute long trailer we see five chairs fade into existence against a red backdrop. The only readable text (for those not fluent in Japanese) teases us about being slaves and craving emancipation – honestly we are just as confused you are at this point. Persona 5 is currently in development and is scheduled to release sometime in 2014 for the

Killzone: Shadowfall | Review

Posted on November 24, 2013 by Eric Bastelak

Killzone Shadowfall, a launch title I could not have been more exited for. I was a huge fan of Killzone 2 and Killzone 3. Those games were a science fiction call of duty with a story that examined interesting themes like war and morality. It is a franchise that I believe is unfortunately overlooked by many gamers.

However, a series cannot rest on the laurels of it’s past it must improve and innovate in order to stay

Posted on November 21, 2013 by Jason Nason

As a gamer I don’t know how many times I accidentally called the Fast and Furious movies Need for Speed. After playing the games for so long it just seemed natural and always confused me that there wasn’t a movie based of the video game property. Until now.

The film follows street racer Tobey Marshall (Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul) who is freshly out of prison after being framed and locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. Marshall is
