I’ve got a certain love for the more “pulpy” side of entertainment.

Heroes may finally be making their way to the smaller screen, but you’d be hard pressed to find any show or character with a cult following that is almost as nigh invulnerable as it’s lead character. Back in 2001, that hero was known as the Tick, and despite a crippling lack of intelligence the big blue buffoon managed to save …
When you think about it, Mike Tyson Mysteries sounds perhaps a little too crazy. A former heavyweight boxing champ beating several shades of crap out of various monsters while investigating weekly mysteries alongside the Marquis of Queensbury, his adopted Korean daughter and a jerkass in the body of a pigeon sounds like it was written while the folks involved were incredibly …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
