It's the second year at Greendale Community College for Jeff Winger and his study group, who are now taking an anthropology class together. Their mutual study time is again interrupted by a succession of unlikely adventures (ranging from Abed having a mental breakdown in which he envisages the world as a claymation film to a total paintball apocalypse) as they grow and learn together. Apart from Pierce, obviously, who becomes even more of an obnoxious bigot. Season 2 of Community sees the show building on the moderate change in direction seen in late Season 1, when creator Dan Harmon started leaving behind more mundane storylines about relationships in favour of whackier adventures, often revolving around some kind of gimmick or high concept (albeit a well-executed one). Most of the episodes in Season 2 can be summed up by their concept: the bottle episode where everyone searches for Annie's missing pen; the claymation episode; the clip show which doesn't actually use any ...

Three young men find an online dating site where an older woman is propositioning guys for sex. But the advert is a trap, and they find themselves prisoners of a fundamentalist Christian cult who are trying to purge the world of what they see as amorality brought about by sexual permissiveness and tolerance. When their activities draw the attention of law enforcement officials, the stage is set for a violent confrontation. Kevin Smith is best-known for his string of comedic movies based on pop culture and lowbrow humour: Clerks , Mallrats , Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and so on. He is also known for his interest in religion and theological debates, which, combined with humour, have formed the basis for arguably his most interesting movie to date, Dogma . Red State marks Smith's return to examining religion but this time around there are no laughs: the film is a straight-up drama. After almost twenty years spent making comedies, it's good to see Smith trying out new ideas ...

Gold has been discovered in the hills and mountains of the Far Country, that untamed frontier beyond the Old Empire and far to the west of the Union. Prospectors, mercenaries and those eager to find a new life flock to those lands, only to find the greed and violence of their pasts following them, even those of honourable intentions. Shy South and her adopted father are searching for missing kinfolk, kidnapped for purposes unknown. Their pursuit across the Far Country leads them into an alliance with a fellowship of the plains, a caravan hoping for a better life in the distant mining town of Crease. But, with rebels gathering in the mountains and Nicomo Cosca and his Company of the Gracious Hand also on a sworn mission to root them out for His Majesty's Inquisition, this is a journey where nothing will turn out as hoped. Red Country is Joe Abercrombie's sixth novel and his third semi-stand-alone set in the same world as The First Law sequence. As with its two immediate predece...

BY ÔMEGA Os fãs de jogos de futebol nos video games são bastante vidrados nos títulos e se atentam para os mínimos detalhes. No entanto, não é preciso ser tão detalhista assim para notar que as versões de FIFA 12 e de FIFA 13 para o moribundo Nintendo Wii são muito parecidas. Pode-se afirmar, de acordo com o site Nintendo Gamer, que as versões são idênticas! A Electronic Arts parece ter se confundido na hora de “envasar” os jogos e ambas as obras ficaram incomodamente semelhantes. As fotos da galeria abaixo foram retiradas de uma grande reportagem no NG, que protestou arduamente contra a atitude da EA Sports, acusando-a de ter agido de má fé com os jogadores. Confira as imagens abaixo, sendo que as fotos do lado esquerdo remetem sempre a FIFA 12, enquanto as screens do lado direito são do “novo” FIFA 13.  O que você acha? Você compraria um jogo com preço de novidade, cujas únicas diferenças parecem ser alguns nomes de jogadores e uns poucos uniformes de tim...

More than two years ago, it was reported that Red Eagle had signed a deal with Obsidian Entertainment to make a Wheel of Time computer roleplaying game for release on PC and console platforms. Chris Avellone, the well-respected creator of Planescape: Torment and a key writer on games like Fallout 2 , New Vegas , Alpha Protocol , Icewind Dale and the forthcoming Wasteland 2 and Project: Eternity , was reported to be working on the initial ideas for the game. Fans and even gamers who had never heard of Wheel of Time were intrigued. Then nothing. Obsidian moved onto several projects. There was excitement when they reported they were working on a major franchise tie-in game, but this turned out to be a South Park title (due out in spring 2013). More recent reports emerged explaining what had happened: Red Eagle's responsibility had been to find a publisher to fund development of the game. Despite signing a distribution agreement with Electronic Arts in 2009, they were unable to...

 O primeiro disco da versão de Xbox 360 de Resident Evil 6,o jogo estréia oficialmente dia 2 de outubro  no mercado,supostamente vazou em alguns sites de torrents.Após a venda antecipada do game na Polônia,essa pode ter sido a segunda grande falha da Capcom em manter o sigilo do game.A Capcom ainda não se pronunciou sobre o assunto. Minha opinião: Eu não gosto do vazamento de games antes de seu lançamento,pois sou contra a pirataria e a favor de produtos originais,isso prejudica a empresa que criou o produto,que no caso é um game,e além disso pirataria é crime.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of my favorite games. There was a pure sense of exploration and discovery that I haven’t found in any game since, not even the semi-sequels Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood or Revelations. Since that experience, I’ve been looking for a game to revive that feeling, and, while things have changed in games since Assassin’s Creed 2 was originally released back in 2009, I found that feeling while exploring the frontier in Assassin’s Creed 3, and it feels good. I was given free reign to run around in Connor’s land after Ubisoft flew me out for an event in Boston this past week. As I walked out into the forest on my way to Connor’s homestead, I realized just how far games have come in three years. I’m not talking about a deep philosophical change in games, but rather the simple stuff, like draw distance and the amount of objects that can be shown onscreen at once. That might seem somewhat trivial, but it becomes really important wh...

Assassin's Creed 3 's gameplay elements will feel very familiar to longtime fans of the franchise, with the significant exception of the combat mechanics. It'll be interesting to see how fans adapt and newcomers react. "We rebuilt the combat system. I think one of the most striking comments we've heard in the last two days is how different it feels to fans of the franchise to previous game. I think you can do a lot," Alex Hutchinson, creative director on Assassin's Creed 3 told me at a recent press preview. "The whole flow of it is different, the archetypes are different, the old strategies just won't work." Curious about the specifics, I asked Hutchinson for standout examples of differences between the previous four installments in the series and the latest iteration. "For example, before, a counter was an automatic kill. You didn't have to make a decision after that, you could just spam the attack button. Before, you had to target...

The Fantastical Librarian blog has posted an interview with myself about blogging, reviewing and so forth. Some interesting questions there on why I started the blog and why it has such a silly name :-)

An early look at the working cover art for Richard Morgan's The Dark Defiles , provisionally due in August 2013: No, I haven't read the book: it's still being written. The quote is from my review of The Cold Commands and may not be present on the final version of the cover for The Dark Defiles .

Jarek, Taro and Nual's attempts to expose and defeat the machinations of the alien Sidhe continue. In alliance with the Minister of Vellern, their latest mission takes them to Aleph, the refuge of the male Sidhe after the devastating war with the females. However, the trio's assumption that the enemy of their enemy is their friend is soon shown to be hopelessly naive. Meanwhile, on the primitive world of Serenein, other allies against the Sidhe find their attempts to keep their people safe may soon be tested... Bringer of Light is the fourth novel in Jaine Fenn's Hidden Empire sequence, which currently stands at five books. The series so far as been varied in quality, with great ideas often battling against so-so prose and a mixed bag of characterisation (our protagonists are well-drawn, but everyone else is sketchier). The previous book ended with a left-field revelation about a threat to humanity that dwarfs the Sidhe in magnitude that was fairly horrific and executed wi...

 Christian Svesson,vice presidente do planejamento da Capcom,falou um pouco sobre a versão de Resident Evil 6 de PC.Ele falou que a Capcom está levando tão sério a produção do jogo para pc quanto as versões de Ps3 e Xbox 360,e que eles estão tendo o cuidado para que não se repita o fiasco que ocorreu em Resident Evil 4,que quando chegou ao pc,veio cheio de bugs e a qualidade gráfica muito baixa e ruim.  Minha opinão:  Bem esperamos que isso aconteça e que o game não venha para pc com uma qualidade gráfica ruim e cheio de bugs.Pois tem várias pessoas que esperam esses jogos para jogar no pc e isso seria uma decepção para elas,mais o jeito mesmo é aguardar parra ver como o jogo irá vir.

When it comes to the genre of first-person shooters, there have been several gamechangers during its lifespan. The mass-popularisation of the genre through id's Doom was an early one. The success of 2001's Medal of Honour: Allied Assault inspiring dozens of 'realistic' shooters using real weapons and history was another. But towering over all of them is Half-Life . Released in 1998 it transformed the genre from mindless shooting to something based more around characters, personal narrative, puzzles and full immersion in the world it depicted. More recent shooters have seemingly ignored the lessons laid down by Half-Life , becoming lost in a few short hours of tiresome, badly-acted cut-scenes and even more tiresome gimmicks like regenerating health and cover systems. Yet returning to Half-Life , or introducing it to new players, is almost impossible. What was a fantastic-looking game on release is now a painful collection of blocky models and low-res textures. What is n...

Jeff Winger is a hotshot lawyer whose career has been brought to a screeching halt due to the slight problem of his qualifications being non-existent. He has to attend Greendale Community College for four years and pass a series of tests to regain his law credentials. An attempt to seduce a fellow student, Britta, by inviting her to a fictitious study group spirals out of control, resulting in the creation of a real study group. As the group goes through the school year, they learn and grow together. And also inadvertently create a copyright-infringing school anthem, give the college a guy in a gimp suit as its mascot and then almost destroy the place in a titanic paintball game that goes horrendously awry. Community is entering its fourth season in the USA, but may be one of the best-kept secrets on television. Airing to mediocre ratings in the States and having almost no profile at all in the UK, it's nevertheless a funny, confident show which acts as both an obvio...

Today is (disturbingly, as I still think of it as a newish series) the tenth anniversary of the airing of the first episode of Firefly in the USA. Though not actually the first episode, since Fox TV in their infinite wisdom decided to delay showing the pilot until later in the run and instead aired the second episode, The Train Job , first. The series only ran for thirteen episodes, but has since become a cult phenomenon, selling millions of DVDs and Blu-Rays and spawning a spin-off film, Serenity . Here's the 10th anniversary Comic-Con panel reuniting Joss Whedon, Tim Minear and many of the cast (not to mention 'The Hat') at San Diego this year:

BY ÔMEGA O mundo acordou repleto de novidades nesta quarta-feira. Embora a Tokyo Game Show comece oficialmente somente amanhã, dia 20, a Sony decidiu antecipar seus anúncios e, durante sua pré-conferência, fez algumas apresentações que realmente animaram muita gente. Primeiramente, tivemos o não tão surpreendente anúncio do PlayStation Super Slim, a versão ainda menor do console. De acordo com a companhia, ele é 20% menor do que o modelo atual e 25% mais leve. O mais impressionante é que, mesmo com a redução de tamanho, o espaço de armazenamento não foi afetado. Isso significa que o aparelho chegará às lojas com discos rígidos de 250 GB e 500 GB . (Fonte da imagem: Divulgação/Sony) Se a revelação não chocou ninguém, o mesmo não pode ser dito de sua data. Todo mundo esperava que o Super Slim fosse disponibilizado somente no fim do ano, mas a fabricante fez questão de trazê-lo já na próxima semana em bundles especiais. Nos Estados Unidos, serão disponibilizados os seguintes...
