With Celebration V well under way in Orlando, the Disney Parks team released the following teaser video of the new Star Tours attraction. The timeframe for the ride is set between Episodes III and IV and promises to take riders to “more places in the Star Wars galaxy,” then ever before! Look for the new Star Tours next year at both …
PSA: Don’t Forget to Unlock the Zombies in the Scott Pilgrim Game
Edgar Wright–he of Shaun of the Dead–know his zombies. He loves his zombies. He’s also the guy bringing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World to movie screens everywhere today.
And while we’re not sure just how much he had to do with the new Ubisoft game, it seems like a safe bet that the presence of the shambling undead owes itself to …
Hands-On With The Force Unleashed 2
It wasn’t until last week that I finished Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I knew you had to pull down a Star Destroyer at some point in the game and the Proxy into Darth Maul reveal was spoiled by Evan and Haden Blackman, so I didn’t really feel the need to finish the game. But then I paid a visit to Haden and the rest of the TFU …
Madden NFL 11 Review: Roster Update or Worthwhile Purchase?
All in all, GameFlow does work to speed up games. I can get through a game with six-minute quarters and a 25-second automatic clock runoff in about a half hour, which took closer to an hour last year. I wish I could see the GameFlow play in advance, though, and then opt to either go with it or select plays manually. As it stands now, you …

No No No: Terminator To Return As PG-13 Animated Movie
Terminator Salvation may have failed to satisfy hardcore fans and stalled at the box office, but I’m not sure that’s any excuse to consign the franchise to PG-13 CGI animated movie hell. Hannover House and Red Bear Entertainment have announced Terminator 3000, an animated continuation of James Cameron’s dystopian robot movie series …
Mini Film Festival: Watch the 10 Greatest Star Wars Moments
When I sat down last Sunday to isolate the ten greatest moments of the original “Star Wars” trilogy, I’ve got to be honest here: The very first thing that popped into my mind was this (starting at 0:30):

Not sure why, but there ya go. There are lots of great moments in the …
Interview: The Clone Wars Get All Bricked Up in Lego Star Wars III
Do the new characters in the Clone Wars series give you more opportunity for comedy than with Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy characters?
There are tons of opportunities for comedy in the Clone Wars. The characters are so richly written and the situations that they are put in so often beg for parody that pulling humor out of …
Digital Graveyards: What Happens To Your Twitter Account When You Die?
In the future, we will invariably die two deaths: The first will be physical (Hospitals, loved ones, tombstones). The second, and potentially more noticeable death will be digital (Facebook memorializing, stagnant Twitter accounts, lost passwords). Just recently, Twitter established a policy to handle accounts after the death of a user. …
Star Wars Celebration V In Orlando
Emanata: Scanning the Horizon
There are a couple of curious things about Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca’s The Invincible Iron Man #29, which came out this week–one of them obvious on a first reading, one less so. The one that’s not immediately evident is that this is a Marvel superhero comic with barely a hint of an action scene. Okay, there’s one little …
Paycheck Friday: Purchasing Suggestions For Your Perusal
35% ($373,650 and up)
This is an X-wing mailbox. Why are you still reading this?! Oh, right, you don’t know where to buy it. You can’t buy it. You’ll have to make it. And a person of your stature doesn’t make Star Wars-themed mailboxes; you hire someone to make one for you. Money isn’t an object but you’ll want to place this far, …
