Behold, Sigourney Weaver’s blue-skinned Na’vi from Avatar. Forgot she was in this movie didn’t you? Well for some reason, maybe it was in her contract, she looks significantly less alien than Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington’s alter egos, and I think it has to do with the brim of her nose not being eight inces wide. Whatever the case, I think the other aliens could learn from her example, and then this movie would creep everyone out significantly less.

Head over to Marketsaw for more scans from the new Avatar-themed issue of Empire.

I know you know what Evony is. You know how I know? Because you’re on the internet right now, and anyone who has gone on the internet right now has seen these types of Evony ads somewhere, even on this site from time to time.

Well guess what? In addition to featuring exactly zero boobs in game, Evony is run by Chinese gold farmers and that’s evident when you have to pay to do anything at all in the damn game, including send messages to other players. But worst of all, the entire game is hackjob, taking bits and pieces from Age of Empires and refashioning them for its own purposes. See the image above for a comparison. I’m not even going to tell you which is which.

Never, ever play this game, despite what the giant medieval boobs tell you.

Sometimes you wish movies could be summed up appropriately in just a few words.  For example, it’s kind of annoying when you see badass trailers and posters for movies that wind up really sucking.  Don’t get me wrong, I know that’s the whole point.  They’re trying to get you in to see the movie and pay money.

Still though, I’m waiting for the day for an honest movie studio to just tell it like it is.  On the other hand, even if a movie is good, it’d still be kind of amusing to see how people would sum it up in a movie poster.

Here you’ll find examples of both scenarios.  Enjoy these 15 pictures of dumbed down movie posters

Here’s a prediction for you: Battlebots is coming back. Now, I’m not sure if it’ll be to a network (doubtful) or G4 or SpikeTV, but it’s coming. It’s a show that requires zero dollars on your part (competitors make the robots themselves) and is full of awesome robot fighting. Double bonus.

The last time Battlebots aired was the year 2000, and you tell me that robot technology hasn’t gotten better in a decade? You can see some truly epic designs toward the end of the show (my favorite is the Skynet-esque Warhead) and I think if they brought it back and gave it enough press to make it popular, we’d see some really cool shit from the tech geniuses of the nation.

So until they listen to me and bring it back, here’s 15 battle videos to make you nostalgic for the twisted metal of Battlebots past.

Yesterday, I ran down what I thought were the 15 toughest NES games of time.  Although I had beaten several of them, there were many of which the endings were a mystery to me.  Were they worth all the time, effort, and frustration? Were the endings glorious payoffs, affirming that my energy and focus were well spent? Or were they similar to Rygar’s ending, a brief graphic and some ridiculous text, as if Tecmo itself were giving me the middle finger?

I decided to find the endings to the 15 toughest NES games of all time, and you can see them after the jump.  Judge for yourselves if the ending was worth the difficulty.

I don’t know, even Courtney Cox in her underwear isn’t enough to make me watch a show called Cougar Town. Give me Lisa Kudrow and it’s a different story. yeah I said it. Who’s Jennifer Aniston? Anyways, go here for more Cox and Cougar Town.

Yes, at this point it’s just a rumors, but the man is black and wears overly large chains, so it’s not exactly a stretch of the imagination. Can he act? Who cares. Liam Neeson will do all the acting the A-Team movie needs.

I’m not terribly sure what the obsession is with “horde mode” in every game under the sun. I believe it started with Left 4 Dead, with Survival Mode. Then Gears‘ Horde Mode came along. Now Mass Effect released a new DLC pack with an (incredibly easy) version of the same thing. Now the latest is Halo ODST‘s Firefight mode, where you and your friends team up to kick a bunch of alien ass, surviving waves of increasingly hard baddies.

I don’t know why, but these kinds of mode just don’t appeal to me. I think they work sometimes, like in L4D when the A.I. is actually smart, but I’ve never known Halo‘s Brutes to be particularly bright. I also have never been a big fan of Halo‘s skulls, whose “difficultly multipliers” are often just kind of stupid.

Anyways, I’m fully buying this game anyways, because I’m a Halo slave. Oh well, I made my stand for a second there.

Doesn’t Daisy look like Peach’s mom here?  I think it’s the frilly costume jewelry.

So why did you come out with this horrendously shitty poster? Whatever this kid’s name is, he’s not remotely cute or a Robert Pattinson look-a-like, so you’re not going to trick Twi-tards into seeing this. And John C. Reily is certainly not Taylor Lautner.

This movie looks to be a welcome, fresh take on a genre taken over by stupidity and teenagers, so don’t go mucking it up. I think I can make out Salma Hayek, but who the hell is that behind her? He’s so damn small I need to blow this thing up in photoshop just to see who it is. And I’m still going to go with “vague fog man” after further investigation.
