Why Star Wars Episode VII will be Series Best


Return of the Plot 



George Lucas made Star Wars a long time ago in a very different movie landscape. When it was released, the opening sequence in which a Star Destroyer roars overhead was one of the most breathtaking scenes in modern film. People had never experienced such spectacular sound and visuals. And the movie had a decent plot! There's no need to expand on what Star Wars has become- an empire of toys, TV shows, video games, books, and of course, the 6-movie-long saga.
I am a huge Star Wars. I've read many novels, saw Revenge of the Sith about 5 times in theaters, and I can name the lightsaber style of Samuel L. Jackson's character Mace Windu. (it's Vapaad by the way) And despite being a die-hard fan, I'm willing to admit this little tidbit: the movies (mostly) suck. Let's talk about the series past and how different it's future will be in the hands of a new generation of filmmakers. Let's talk about a galaxy far far away, right after the jump!

News: 2013 Looks Promising for Wii U


Greatness Lies Ahead for Nintendo



Today, the gaming-related parts of the interwebs have shown enormous enthusiasm for Nintendo's recent Wii U announcements. They revealed many new games for Wii U and also laid out their plans for MiiVerse, the Wii U's social network. After mentioning that they're hard at work on that HD Zelda everyone's waiting for, they told us that "in the meantime" we're getting a nice treat- a remake of The WindWaker for Wii U. And this isn't just an upscaled port. The screenshots clearly show reworked textures and finer detail all coalescing into the most gorgeous-looking Zelda game ever. For myself, that was the biggest part of their conference, and what I'm excited about most. But there quite a few other things worthy of mention- including Smash Bros! Let's see what other info Nintendo let out after the jump.
