Silicon Knights Gets 4 Million From Government

The Canadian Government has shelled out a whopping 4 million dollars to gaming company Silicon Knights (who were the company behind Too Human, an XBox 360 game released in 2008), which may lead more game developers to think that Canada is becoming the gaming development capital. The move, announced by local MP Rick Dykstra, was made at the steps of the company’s office in Saint Catherines. Silicon Knights was jubilant over the development (who wouldn’t be?...

Smash Bros Ultimate Lets You Spend Money For In Game Currency

Smash Ultimate wasn’t one of the games we had pegged for a title that would egg its players on to spend extra real-life money, but apparently we were wrong. Virtual currency is a big deal in today’s society. In fact, the world seems to be moving towards a time when physical cash will no longer exist. We are already well on our way there, considering that we’re already using cards, contactless, and even currencies that have no physical form whatsoever, such as bitcoin....

Before we get into things, let’s take a moment to remind ourselves about Resident Evil 4. This was the entry that changed everything for the franchise. The entry that marked the change from survival horror as we used to know it to something far more action-orientated....

South Park The 20 Geekiest Episodes

It’s funny how time can shift our perceptions. Long, long ago, way back in 1997, South Park was a counter-cultural and revolutionary TV show. It was an ode to all things sexual and scatological that looked like it had been animated in the creators’ garden shed. Best noted for the ire it drew from parents groups and the weekly deaths of perma-hoodied fourth-grader Kenny, it bore all the markings of a flash-in-the-pan success as tie-in merchandise quickly shifted by the millions and a movie was fast-tracked to the multiplexes almost immediately....

Spider Man Remastered Mods Let You Play As Kermit Saul Goodman Elsa And More

Have you ever fancied swinging about New York City as Kermit? Or Elsa? If yes, you’re in luck. It’s been a hot while since my first mod round-up for Spider-Man Remastered. Since then, more modders have shared their work on Nexus Mods. Here are some more mods which put people who have no business being in Spider-Man into Spider-Man.

Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker Book Review

This Star Wars review contains spoilers. It’s hard to separate The Rise of Skywalker novel from the movie. Author Rae Carson could not change Rey’s family history as a Palpatine, and could not re-write Poe Dameron and Finn’s dialogue. What she does instead is expand on opportune moments. General Leia Organa and Rose Tico, constrained to the Resistance base in the movie, both have larger roles in the book. Overall, the novel is serviceable, with some interesting choices in regards to what parts of the story to elaborate on and what to play close to the script....
