Review: Resident Evil Retribution 3D Has Non-Stop Video Game-Like Action, Not Much Else

Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth movie in the series based on Capcom's beloved zombie video game franchise, offers intense 3D action that's non-stop and intense, just like the video games its based on. The scope is epic and global, with backdrop locations such as Tokyo, Moscow, New York City and SIberia. And the CGI special effects are great especially if you like the "gimmicky 3D" stuff flying in your face kind of 3D visuals. If that's what you're looking for or just Milla Jovovich in a tight body suit and most Resident Evil gamer fans probably are, this is the movie for you. If you are looking for good plot or dialogue, this isn't the movie for you.

Preview: Guild Wars 2 Will Revolutionize The MMO Genre

Recently, I was lucky to partake in the very first Guild Wars 2 beta and what a thrill it was. I haven’t played the franchise before, but all I have heard were great things and it’s one of the most risking IP’s on the market. Unlike most MMO’s, Guild Wars isn’t a subscription service and depends solely on in game player purchase. Besides the subscription model, the development team at NCSOFT is making a number of key changes to the MMO format that makes it immediately intriguing.

Stanford Study Finds Video Games Like Re-Mission Can Improve Psychology of Cancer Patients

In news that could shift how game developers and healthcare professionals harness the power of videogames to do good, HopeLab and Stanford University researchers today announced new data showing that Re-Mission, a video game about killing cancer in the body, strongly activates brain circuits involved in positive motivation. This reward-related activation is associated with a shift in attitudes and emotions that has helped boost players’ adherence to prescribed chemotherapy and antibiotic treatments in a previous study. The study published today provides new insights into how these effects might have occurred, revealing that active participation in gameplay events is key to activating the brain’s positive motivation circuits. Seeing and hearing the same information without active participation in gameplay had no impact on activity in positive motivation circuits.

But just how well does Battlefield 3 hold up to the competition? I recently got the chance to play it and can say that it plays just like any Battlefield title should.
