Watch Dogs finally has a release date. The open world stealth hacking game comes out May 27th for all current and next-gen consoles. The fine folks at Ubisoft, who are responsible for the Splinter Cell, Far Cry & Assassin's Creed series are behind the game and it looks quite promising. It looks like a blend between Assassin's Creed and the Batman Arkham Series where hacking computers is a major feature of completing objectives. I'm not particularly a fan of open world games, but I might try this one out.





Has it really been 9 years since Sin City came out? Well the film that started the trend of movies that look like graphic novels that includes 300 & Watchmen, has a sequel; A Dame to Kill For. The first film was groundbreaking for its highly contrasted, black & white noir look which resembled the graphic novel it was based on. The sequel looks to be more of the same, but the reason I enjoyed the original so much was I was a big fan of the source material. In A Dame to Kill For, only 2 stories are from the graphic novels, and 2 are written specifically for the movie by Frank Miller. But it's still worth a look. The film comes out August 22nd.



Jack is back in less than 2 months, and now we finally get some footage from 24: Live Another Day. Jack is a fugitive in London trying to stop a Presidential assassination. Which is honestly just another day for Jack Bauer. May 5th can't get here soon enough.
