IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Jay-Z to Score The Great Gatsby Jan 1st 2013, 02:08 Wow, this is crazy but could be cool if they can pull it off. Hip hop icon Jay-Z and The Bullitts will provide the score for director Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The Bullitts revealed the news via Twitter today: "Jay-Z and myself have been working tirelessly on the score for the upcoming #CLASSIC The Great Gatsby! It is too DOPE for words!" As the trailers for The Great Gatsby have revealed, Luhrmann will stick with a similar approach he used with Moulin Rouge! of using contemporary music in a period film. Continue reading…

Sam Jackson Slams Lincoln Ending Jan 1st 2013, 01:28 He's made a lot of headlines in the past taking his Hollywood peers to task, and now Django Unchained's Samuel L. Jackson admits he wasn't a fan of the ending of Steven Spielberg's acclaimed biopic Lincoln. "I don't understand why it didn't just end when Lincoln is walking down the hall and the butler gives him his hat," Jackson said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Why did I need to see him dying on the bed? I have no idea what Spielberg was trying to do." Continue reading…

IGN All: Opinion: Games As Art - Another Perspective

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Opinion: Games As Art - Another Perspective Dec 31st 2012, 00:00 As the 'Hollywood' era of the video game pushes our hobby further and further into the public consciousness, there's a tendency within our community to champion the idea of games as 'growing up' – gaining the ability to be something serious, something meaningful or productive, something that can rival the cultural importance of film or literature. Games are increasingly regarded as worthwhile relative to how well they can match or exceed the proficiencies of older media. Gaming magazines, blogs and websites regularly point to modern games telling grand sweeping narratives in Mass Effect, exploring deeply emotional themes in Braid and political themes in Spec Ops: The Line, provoking legitimate aesthetic responses in millions of people daily. The aspects of graphical fidelity, sound design, dialogue and rhetorical messaging are also well-discussed in terms of whether a game is progressively worthwhile.

IGN All: The Year in Video Game Sex 2012

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

The Year in Video Game Sex 2012 Dec 30th 2012, 17:00 Editor's Note: this piece contains adult content, as well as plot spoilers from Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and Darkness II. If violence is inseparable from video games, sex may never have a major place in them. We can luxuriate in their animated encyclopedia of fantasies, but directly referencing sex apparently risks ruining the whole illusion. In 2012, games were less shy about introducing sex into their worlds, and yet most of the times it was left off in margins, something to catalyze a character's motivation or animate a bawdy background. But even as an intermittent presence it has a powerful and surprisingly broad range of effects. Max Payne 3's sense of sexuality was inseparable from its protagonist, a depleted stag who has traded his sexual optimism for alcohol and painkillers. His true love long dead, Max has migrated into a stage in his life where sex is something other people do. This is reinforced in a mid-game level where Max wanders into a brothel in a poor Rio neighborhood. The place is old and dirty and as Max works his way out of it, shooting at local gangsters, you'll see customers enjoying sexual play in the background. Even when surrounded by sex he is disengaged from it, resigned to the fact that human comfort and closeness are no longer possible for a man with his history. Continue reading… Media files: hitman_inline-610x343.jpg (image/jpeg)

"I don't know exactly when I'm going to do it, but there's something about this that would suggest a trilogy," Tarantino told The Root (via Salon). "My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this a huge story that included the Continue reading…

IGN All: Serialised Storytelling: A Changing Landscape

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Serialised Storytelling: A Changing Landscape Dec 29th 2012, 23:13 The games industry is built on sequels. They have been around since before a sequel meant adding a bow to the main character and changing its honorific – I'm looking at you Ms. Pac-man. Traditionally, two types of sequels have existed: franchises with stand-alone entries (Grand Theft Auto) which focus more on advancing gameplay and world building with each subsequent entry; and franchises with traditional sequels (Halo) which treat serialised storytelling in a similar way to movies or books. As the way games are produced and sold has changed, however, so too has the creative side of the industry. This has resulted in some exciting projects which toy with the way games can be used to tell stories. A number of recent titles highlight these trends within the industry, showcasing how developers are tackling the issues involved with serialised stories in gaming. Continue reading…

What Were 2012's Biggest Movie Flops? Dec 29th 2012, 16:58 With 2012 coming to a close, let's take a look back at some of the year's biggest misfires at the box office. This doesn't mean that all of these movies sucked; indeed, we liked a few of them quite a lot. But the economic facts are the economic facts. Here are the year's biggest duds, based on their estimated production budgets (not including marketing costs) and domestic/international tallies, in alphabetical order: Battleship -- Budget: reportedly $209-225 mln; Domestic: $65.2 mln; Int'l: $237.6 mln Continue reading…

IGN All: The Year in Video Game Violence

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

The Year in Video Game Violence Dec 29th 2012, 17:00 Editor's Note: this piece contains plot spoilers for Spec Ops: The Line and Halo 4. In video games the subject of violence is often treated as monolithic, something which must lead us to moral truth. In reality, no such simplicity is possible. Just as the violence of an older sibling delivering a charlie horse is different from the violence of an armed robbery, violent video games must be taken each in their own context. In 2012 many video games were cruel, horrific, surreal, and disturbing creations. It was a year of games that pushed back against us every time we pressed into them. Works whose meanings are obscured when taken as a whole, but when considered individually reveal the wild variety of experiences that can come from one seemingly simple word.

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

IGN's 2012 Wrestling Year in Review Dec 29th 2012, 03:35 Well, here we are. We set our course straight for oblivion and managed to come out the other side unscathed.  Stupid Mayan attention whores.  But having come so precariously close to the edge, so damnably near mass extinction, I've decided to streamline this Year in Wrestling piece a bit.  I used to separate this thing into a news section, a "FTW" section and a "FML/FTL" section.  But due to the fact that most readers/skimmers didn't even notice that there were sections, and the fact that using "FTW" these days is akin to doing the Arsenio Hall dog pound "whoof whoof whoof," I'm going to just prattle off a bunch of "things that happened."  Some good, some bad, all ridiculous.  Because it's freakin' wrestling.

2012's Most Scientifically Bogus Movies Dec 29th 2012, 02:48 Some of the most popular genre films of the year have also been cited by science buffs as the "most science-distorting movies" of 2012. According to PopSci, the year's seven worst offenders are as follows, from the mildest violations to the most severe: The Amazing Spider-Man for "blatant disregard for the conservation of mass." Looper, because backward time travel is impossible. Skyfall, for some of Q's computer hacking and for Bond's amazing ability to endure freezing water as long as he does. Continue reading…

It seems as though that's still the case. Game Director Jay Wilson recently posted on the Diablo III site the most significant piece of information in months: Diablo III's Team Deathmatch mode has been indefinitely tabled. As stated by Wilson, the mode isn't completely cancelled and may be released later in some other form, but Blizzard wasn't happy with how it played. Continue reading…
