If you’re in the market for a new Windows Mobile 6.5 device- because who isn’t?- then check out the Samsung Omnia II from Verizon. It’s $200 but that gets you a 3.7-inch resistive AMOLED touch-screen, Swype technology, a 5-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. Sadly, it’s only expandable to 16GB via microSD. The Omnia II …

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Wes Anderson Talks Puppetry Perfection
There’s a lot of competition this week for your Thanksgiving movie dollars. You’ve got the bloody martial arts of “Ninja Assassin.” The apocalyptic chills of “The Road.” But I’m rooting for a dark horse – or dark fox, rather – to take the crown this holiday weekend.

Image United #1 Leaked
So that’s not entirely accurate, but Rob Liefeld did just post video of his two sons rifling through the first issue of Image United, which comes out next Wednesday. It’s hard to see all the new pages because of the video quality, but a few choice panels were caught on tape. In case you missed it earlier this week, Image United writer …
Modern Warfare 2: This %$#ing Game is #$%ing %^&#ed Up
I’ve been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 this week.. Or it’s been playing me, I don’t know. Some seriously heavy interaction is going on, one way or the other. When I take the MW2 disk out of my 360, I am not the same person who put it in.
In a lot of respects MW2 is a pretty ordinary game. You’ve got a gun. You’ve got some …

The Techland Show: Shooting Civilians Is Wrong
Yes, we did another Techland show. We do it every Thursday morning. But we pretend it’s Friday in order to maintain the cinematic illusion. What you see is not scripted or staged. We actually come up with that amazing material on the fly.
Except for Peter. Peter uses a stunt double.
Samsung Behold II Review: Let’s Never Speak Of This Again
Samsung’s mobile devices have come a long way in the last three years. I’ve lambasted them for much of that period over their chintzy resistive touch-screens, but recent handsets including the Behold II and Moment have been upgraded with vibrant AMOLED screens. The recent adoption of the Android OS on certain devices in the lineup …
