Iron Fro Mice Six episodes?Six?What the hell is this?! We’ve known for a while that Telltale Games (The Walking Dead,The Wolf Among Us) wasmaking a gamebased on the hitLord of the Ringsspin offGame of Thrones(pictured above). And while we haven’t even seen a screenshot of the game, according toTelltale’s Twitter–which is fun to say–the first episode of the adventure game will be “Premiering Soon,” hashtag Iron Fro Mice. I know the series has dragons (pictured above), but I’m not well-versed in the lore, so I’m not sure about the Iron Fro Mice....

So I Streep, yeah, just Streepin’ on Welcome to the first installment of The 300, a weekly feature chronicling my attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in 2018. Why am I doing this? Part of it is just to see if I can and to get away from my laptop. Another part of it is to really explore the world of film, from wide-release blockbusters to indies, foreign cinema, classics, and hidden gems....

Most importantly, though, I love the way it allfeelslikeGTA, just a lot shinier....

Now with British voice acting! [LaTerry thinks back on whatDragon Questused to be and how it’s grown to be one of his most enduring favorites. It doesn’t generate as much buzz in the West asFinal Fantasybut damn is it not just a stalwart franchise of JRPGs. Want to see yourself up here?

Loki, Thor… and machine guns! Thor: Ragnarokhad a tough encore. Its first trailer was the stuff of movie nerd dreams, and it bowed during the Super Bowl. It’s hard to make a better entrance than that. Now disregard everything I just said as its second trailer, unleashed during San Diego Comic-Con, and the movie is looking more and more visually stunning. While the first trailer just wowed us, this one builds out a story: Thor and friends (Loki, the Hulk, and more) must stop the God of Death and thus Ragnarok (aka the end of all things)....

And I’m not in the least bit surprised InXile’s newest roleplaying game and spiritual successor toPlanescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera,has been seeking funding onKickstarterfor well under a day. After three hours, it had already secured half of its $900,000 goal. It’s now fully backed. Sitting pretty at $935,000 at the time of writing this (and likely a whole lot more when you start reading), I think anyone wondering if people really care aboutPlanescape: Tormentany more have their answer....

Fight for Fortune brings out fightin’ words Uncharted: Fight for Fortunewas only officially revealed this morning, but already the “fanbase” is up in arms and inconsolable at the idea that a spin-off game would dare toactually spin offfrom something.

That includes more and more DLC fighters as the months go by,including the new Polish Prime Minister tease. About that!

Kojima, Cliffy B, Jordan Mechner, Vander Caballero, Rhianna Pratchett and more weigh in There are hard line stances against cut scenes (“cheating”!), Kojima considering them a natural outlet for all the movies he watched, and developers considering them one of many useful tools in thisnewCritical Pathvideo. I think Cliff Bleszinski makes a great point at the end: if there is a way you can develop a scene to remain interactive, it’s probably worth doing because that’s what videogames do so well....
