Gaming News: IGN Reviews Spider-Man: Edge of Time

This title is available on Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3

Oh what a tangle web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. That sentiment, sadly, also applies to Edge of Time. It fails rather spectacularly to capitalise upon the potential of last year's Shattered Dimensions. Despite coming from the same developer, Beenox, it unstitches most of the things Shattered Dimensions did so well, creating a game that is in so many respects an unworthy follow-up. 
Whilst not a direct sequel to Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time follows two of its protagonists – The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. And the plot is fairly straightforward. In 2099, crazed scientist Walker Sloan, using experimental technology, travels back in time to establish the nefarious Alchemax corporation back in the 1970's.



He succeeds and time splinters, creating an alternate universe. In the process the original Peter Parker dies at the tentacular hands of Anti-Venom. So Spider-Man 2099 dragoons Peter Parker from the new, alternate timeline to help him rectify reality. Got it? Although this may read like an epic backdrop for a game, with the fate of the universe and the life of Spider-Man himself at stake, the way in which it is rendered makes it feel anything but. 

Gaming News: Gamespot Reviews Forza Motorsport 4

Circuit-based racing games are repetitive by nature, but the deja vu you experience when playing Forza Motorsport 4 is especially pervasive--at least if you're familiar with its superb predecessor. You can't help noticing that the majority of the cars and tracks in Forza 4 also appeared in Forza 3. They look noticeably better now, which is no mean feat in itself, but early in your new racing career you could still be forgiven for wondering if developer Turn 10's latest offering might more appropriately have been titled Forza 3.5. Thankfully, that feeling dissipates as new features and improvements reveal themselves, and ultimately there's no doubt that this is a worthy sequel to one of the best racing games in recent memory.

In Theaters Now

Happy Friday everybody !!! It's Friday so you all know what that means ! Here's the latest batch of movies hitting theaters today. Now for some reason, the last couple of weeks have been rough for new releases. The re-release of 'The Lion King' and acclaim both 'Dolphin Tale' and 'Moneyball' received made it extremely hard for any new movies to crack the top 5 at box office. We'll see if that changes this week though. As always, we'll be back on Monday with the box office results. Until then ladies and gents, PEACE !!!

Sneaks on the AVE: Air Jordan Retro IV

One of the most anticipated Air Jordan Retros not only of 2012, but of the last decade, is the Air Jordan IV in the original White/Black/Grey colorway.
