Gigantor monument to rise in Kobe
Remember Gigantor (Tetsujin 28-go in Japan)? Well most of us might not remember its first black and white run but this was big in the late 60s and 70s. If there’s a granddaddy of giant robots, Gigantor’s one of them. It was one of the heralds of Japanese animation that broke ground in the US.

Jeremy Renner to Play Mad Max?
Now I didn’t get to watch Mad Max as a kid but due to Fallout, I got to revisit the whole Mel Gibson post-apocalyptic vehicle.

(You might think it’d be an Akira rip-off but as far as the post-apocalyptic concept goes, Mad Max came first.) Most recently, co-creator and director George Miller...
NHL 2K10: Shoot while down on the ice teaser
EA Sports has hit some pretty awful ruts in their games (probably with the exception of NHL and FIFA titles). Any decent gamer would go for the 2K titles. The level of realism and fluidity and accuracy of the animation in the 2K titles are just awesome. Now with the new sports season coming in a few months, you might be asking what improvements can these sports games will offer. Take hockey for example. Will the game eventually...
