Speaking of Pixar: they have, for better or worse, released a film each year since 2006. There had been years without before that but as they made more money they started doing more work and now the yearly Pixar movie has been something we all look forward to. Well now we have to wait another year because 2014s “_The Good Dinosaur_” has been pushed to 2015.

Superhot: The Free Time-Bending FPS That You Must Play
Have you played *Braid*? It’s a beautifully designed platform game that uses a simple time mechanic to gently shift time forward and back in order to cross chasms and solve obstacles. Its gameplay requirements fit the genre perfectly; slow, steady and intellectual, it asks the player to take their time and think about the repercussions of every single movement.
Well, incredible as it may seem, there is now a First-Person Shooter that does the same.

Homefront Trailer: Jason Statham vs. James Franco As Written By Sylvester Stallone.

That’s what Homefront appears to be, and in this case the douchebag meth dealing bad guy is James Franco and the movie was written by Sylvester Stallone. This one is gonna be special.
New Call Of Duty: Ghosts Trailer Looks Unashamedly Awesome
There’s much bad will towards *Call Of Duty*. Activision’s behemoth franchise has become the poster child for attracting the kind of stereotypical gamers that you’d rather leave under a rock, and while it may be true that navigating the dark corridors of its multiplayer mode could leave you hating gaming youth forever, the single player section is usually something to be savoured. It’s often criticised for being too short, shallow, bombastic and overly American – however, approach it like you would an 80’s Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, or chilli dog, and you’ll find yourself on a six hour thrill ride through multiple locations and ridiculous accents.
