  1. It's an alien warrior that can turn invisible, bleeds glowing green and mercilessly stalks its human prey using heat-seeking vision, only to turn its victims into trophies. But are the predators of "Predators" the most frightening — or even the most memorable — movie creatures ever conceived? With this weekend's opening of the sequel to the 1987 sci fi-action thriller "Predator," here's a look at some other beings, both deadly and do-gooders, who've stood out on screen. And for the record, we're not talking about monsters like Dracula, the Mummy or even Godzilla. We're also not talking about Heidi Montag — she gets her own category. More>>
  2. According to ComputerAndVideoGames.com, “Nintendo believes that all-new anti-piracy tech in 3DS will be foolproof to cracks from illegal downloaders.” They spoke to THQ’s VP of Global Publishing, Ian Curran who had the following to say, “What excites me even more [than 3DS games] is that there's technology built in that device to really combat piracy.” When it comes to piracy, Nintendo has been trying for a long time to find a solution to combat it.

  7. In its desperate attempts to avoid original creations and find something else to adapt, Hollywood has occasionally looked to the games industry. Generally though, the wrong games have been picked, or the right games have been adapted in the wrong way. Alone in the Dark, Mortal Kombat, Doom… Currently films based on Space Invaders and Asteroids are being planned. Inspired. But there are some huge properties on consoles that would make huge properties on screen. Good ones, too. More>>
  8. Earlier this year James Cameron said that 20th Century Fox may be looking to re-release Avatar on 3D screens after all the summer blockbusters are out of the way. Alice in Wonderland, which was released in March, took over all the 3D screens after Avatar claimed them for 2 straight months. Apparently Avatar could have made another few hundred million if it still had them all to itself.Now 20th Century Fox has announced that the highest grossing film of all time will be re-released on Digital 3D and IMAX 3D on August 27th with over 8 minutes of never before seen footage.

  9. When it comes to video games, it's easy to get caught up in franchise mania. Certainly at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, games with numbers in their title seemed to hog most of the spotlight. Crysis 2, Gears of War 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 — we're lookin' at you. More>>

  13. STAUNTON — Police arrested a Staunton man late Monday night after he reportedly killed a kitten that interrupted his video game, according to an arrest report. Bruce Jamar Walston, 21, of 128 College Circle, Apt. 1, is charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty and disorderly conduct. Staunton authorities were called to Walston's apartment at 9 p.m. after his girlfriend phoned 911. Police said Walston apparently became enraged when the woman's kitten disconnected his video game. Walston is accused of killing the kitten by hurling it against a wall. "In front of her kids," said Officer Lisa Klein of the Staunton Police Department. Walston, who had been free on bond in connection with a January breaking and entering charge, is being held without bond at Middle River Regional Jail in Verona. Debbie Caywood, director of the Augusta Regional SPCA, said her organization doesn't come across physically abused animals on a regular basis, and said accounts of torturing animals "is very rare in this area as far as what we deal with." Police arrested Walston earlier this year after he was suspected of assaulting two people at his apartment building and beating one of the victims with a vacuum sweeper. According to police, Walston and Sylvestor Gentry, 25, of Staunton, kicked in a door at Apt. 3, knocking down a 36-year-old man who was beaten with the sweeper. Klein said a 54-year-old woman also was knocked to the floor, where she was punched and kicked. "She was struck several times," Klein said. Walston and Gentry have a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 25 in Staunton General District Court on felony charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit assault. http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/906716-man-accused-of-killing-kitten-after-it-unplugged-his-video-game/page__pid__592699544__st__0entry592699544
