    Welcome to "Oh, the Humanity!", the column that reviews videogame-based movies and books. Today's book is Gamer Girl by Mari Macusi. Gamer Girl? Sounds like someone's trying to capitalize on the wild

    Hello everyone, and welcome to “Oh, the Humanity!” As the byline says, this is a column about videogame-based movies and, um, books? Books. OK, well, I don't want the byline to be a liar, so I went to my local library and picked up the first videogame book I could find:

    I went to the movie store yesterday to see what kind of movies they're making for kids nowadays. The movie that was being promoted was WALL-E, a cinematic masterpiece that preaches against the evils

    Every so often there's a significant advance in film special effects, leading to the inevitable shit-storm movies with no substance, whose only purpose are to showcase said special effects.

    I had some difficulty with my review of the first Tomb Raider, mostly because the movie was boring and just plain lackluster. The second Tomb Raider flick is moreso. Frankly, I had trouble paying attention, so I may have gotten some of the plot of this movie wrong.

    A few years ago, video game movies become popular again. Well actually, they didn't become popular so much as they become the next fad for Hollywood to blow millions of bucks trying to cash in on with really shitty movies.
