This, despite the fact that some bad Adam Sandler-Kevin James joint calledPixelsis meant to come out next year and with clearSpace Invadersinspirations. Let us remember, though,three years agowhen aSpance Invadersfilm was allegedly going to happen courtesy of theTransformersandGI Joeproducer. It did not, obviously. Anyway, I assume some old Hollywoodmen were thinking back to their first heart attack as they sat in a hospital bed watchingRunawaywith Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons (KISS) and thought, “Hmmm, maybe we should make a movie from video-games....

‘Forza Motorsport and add-on content have become virtually synonymous’ It’s usually not particularly surprising when a major release announces that it’s sashaying to market with a season pass in tow. I mean, we live in a time where the game you bought isn’t the game you get, as former EA CEO John Riccitiello infamously said. However, theForza Motorsportteam chose a pretty terrible tone to revealForza 5‘s. TheFMseries is no stranger to downloadable content, as apost on the game’s websiteproudly declares....

You see? Winning the big prize on Destructoid is a much quicker route to instant Internet fame than the Nobel Prize will ever be....
