Jonathan Knight is a Pretty Cool Guy
As an aspiring game developer and advocate of “quality over quantity” when it comes to new game IPs, I must applaud Jonathan Knight’s response in a recent interview with Industry Gamers.

Unexpectedly, Sony Pictures announced today that they are scrapping plans for the fourth entry in the popular Spider-Man series, citing scripting and scheduling concerns with director Sam Raimi.

Heavy Rain Coming Sooner Than You’d Think
It seems like ages ago when Quantum Dream, the development team responsible for 2005’s fun but frustrating interactive adventure Indigo Prophecy, dazzled us with beautiful too-good-to-be-true screenshots of their next project Heavy Rain for the then upcoming Playstation 3. After nearly four years of the occasional screenshot, it looked like this game was never coming out. […]

25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 23
Adaptation 23 is either something you love or you hate, the Rankin/Bass Productions TV movie The Stingiest Man in Town.

The unique Rankin/Bass animation style […]
