The line between video games and the movies is blurring with each passing day. There are a few franchises that are so inherently cinematic, that their releases actually feel like the buildup to a great summer movie premiere.

I love movies. I love the act of going to the movies, almost as much as I love the actual films. I enjoy old art houses and the newest state-of-the-art cineplexes equally. Some movies are meant to be seen in small intimate showings. Some are meant to be seen on gigantic IMAX screens. While other movies […]
