Army Of The Dead Doesn’t Have Much All To Say In All Its Gory Zombie Heist Action

Army Of The Dead director Zack Snyder is probably best known for his comic book movie adaptations like 300, Watchmen, Man Of Steel and Justice League. Way before all of that, many might not remember that his very first movie (and directorial debut) was 2004's Dawn Of The Dead remake. After almost two decades, Snyder has returned to the genre tha...

Platform: PC Genre: Outspoken adventure game for your extended lunch break If you were to rate the indie title Say No! More just on its length alone, it gets a failing grade.

Josee, The Tiger and the Fish Doesn’t Break New Ground, But It’s Charming

I have to blame Your Name for setting the bar for romance plots and anime works way too high.

It's been 14 years since The World Ends With You graced us with its Nintendo DS gaming presence.
