The Cost of Being Iron Man (Infographic)
Iron Man 3 debuts in theatres this weekend in Canada and America. If you were basically anywhere else in the world, you’re a week ahead of us so no spoilers.

Building (Critical) Consensus: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Yesterday was the release of the standalone Far Cry 3 based game, Blood Dragon. The game really has nothing to do with Far Cry 3 apart from being made with the same engine and by the same development team. While FC3 was a survival-ish shooter set on a tropical island, Blood Dragon is a 1980s vision of a post-apocalyptic future. Apart from sharing a few things like the name and developer, you wouldn’t associate the two.
However, like Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon is a critically acclaimed hit that is a loving homage to / parody of 80s sci-fi.

Video games aren’t universally accepted as an artistic medium but don’t tell the organizers of the Tribeca Film Festival. The prestigious film festival gave the upcoming Quantic Dream game Beyond: Two Souls a two-hour screening at the festival over last weekend.
