Game Review: Heavy Rain (Playstation 3) Posted: Heavy Rain Developer: Quantic Dream Platforms: Playstation 3 Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment ESRB: M Release Date: February 23, 2010 Because the mystery is what makes a large portion of the story enjoyable, I will try and keep spoilers from the main portion of the game to a minimum. The highly anticipated Heavy Rain has finally arrived. After being touted as a revolutionary step forward in video gaming and spending years in development, the finished product does not disappoint.

Divorced and having a hard time connecting to his living son, Shaun, Mars suffers from blackouts and depression, made worse when Shaun disappears and is feared to be the next victim of the Origami Killer [...]

‘Let Me In’ Movie and Comic On The Way Posted: Dark Horse Comics and Exclusive Media Group's Hammer Films have just announced a partnership in which they will create a series of co-branded original graphic novels and comic books.

Owen spends most of his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. When Abby (played by Chloe Moretz aka HIT-GIRL from Kick-Ass), a new neighbor, moves in next to Owen he finds himself with a strange new friend. But the young girl has a terrible secret that will forever change Owen's life. The new American remake of the film is based on my favorite vampire film of 2008, the widely acclaimed Tomas Alfredson-directed Swedish film Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In), produced by Hammer Films, and written and directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) [...]
