    Fallout: New Vegas E3 Trailer

    Publisher Bethesda Softworks has released a gameplay trailer for Fallout: New Vegas, a spin-off to their popular post-apocalyptic role-playing series. New Vegas is not Fallout 4, but more of a direct sequel to 1998’s Fallout 2 in terms of theme, setting and the people developing it.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Full Trailer

    When the producers of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World promised they would release the new trailer for the film if the official Facebook page reached over 100,000 “Likes”, I don’t think they anticipated such a quick response.

From the Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn era, to the Connery/Hepburn duo of Robin and Marian and more recently the dubious-yet-classic Kevin Costner outing, Robin Hood is no stranger to the big screen. I’m […]
