iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Hulk

by Mike Favila, Reviewer

After reading the fun Avengers Origins: Assemble! (read my review here), I was curious to see if there would be any major differences in the pacing of this app. With the same writer (Rich Thomas) and the same excitable narrator (Stan “The Man” Lee), would this just be more of the same?

Gaming News: Lollypop Chainsaw coming your way

by Caleb Paullus, Media Editor Games

In a very short, but sweet announcement WB Games, Kadokawa Games, and Grasshopper Manufacture have announced a partnership and game called “Lollipop Chainsaw”.

Lollipop Chainsaw is the ‘un-deadly’ story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak.  With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw wielding cheerleader. 

Checking out their site I can tell this is something you might enjoy. That is if you like chainsaws, cute cgi girls and upskirts.
