Die Hard: Quite the Courageous Feet



I’ve always heard how Die Hard was the greatest action film ever and now that Die Hard recently became available on Netflix Instant Streaming, I could finally see what all the “hoo-hah” is about! So, is, in my opinion, Die Hard the greatest action film EVAR?

Probably!

At the very least, it is definitely one of the best action films ever. And while I’m tempted to analyze the entire film, scene by scene, I haven’t the time or the OCD for it, so I’ll try to focus on what I consider the central theme of the film to be and why it’s unlikely any current action films will top it.

Megaman Legends 3 Cancelled, and The Important Question




As the title says, Megaman Legends 3 has been cancelled. Announced video games getting cancelled happens all the time. (I should know, I'm a Rare fan!)

The issue is not that Megaman Legends 3 was cancelled, but rather the issues are how Capcom frequently hinted, while the game was in development, that Megaman Legends 3 would be cancelled, how poorly Capcom treated their Megaman fans after they officially canned the game, and the question the whole mess has left behind.

Wheel of Morality, Turn Turn Turn...



I’m sure morality in video games could work. I’m certain of it; And though I do enjoy my video games telling me I’m a bad, bad man, I don’t really feel any sort of sense of accomplishment. The morality system in current games makes me feel like I’m some sort of moral caricature, either curling my mustache or stroking my harp. Let’s take a look at some of the problems many, if not all, of the moral systems in video games have.

(Warning: There are some Fable III spoilers in the in this blog post, but don’t let it stop you from reading it. Fable III is a horrible game and you should neither spend your time nor money on it.)

Tron Legacy: Betting on the Future



As I mentioned in my earlier blog post, Tron Legacy: Clu’s Blues, I mentioned that in two weeks I’d do another Tron Legacy blog post. It’s been two weeks, so here it is!

And like last time, please do not read this blog post if you have not seen Tron Legacy, as it spoils a lot of the film and will probably confuse you.
