Play Arts Kai Man of Steel General Zod Preview - Looks Vicious and Appealing

Leave it Square Enix's Play Arts Kai to just go out of their way and create this beast of an action figure - General Zod from Man of Steel.

The figure has lots of articulation and also features a decent likeness of actor Michael Shannon who plays Zod in the new movie from Warner Bros. directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan.

Tomb Raider Mini Review

Looking for work made me stop playing Tomb Raider but thanks to the long weekend caused by the Catholic tradition of Lent, I managed to catch up and write a short review for Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics' TOMB RAIDER aka Tomb Raider Reborn for the Xbox 360.

The Tomb Raider franchise gets a long overdue reboot with the release of the latest Lara Croft game simply titled "Tomb Raider". The franchise chronicles the story of a very young Lara Croft as she ventures on an expedition to find the mysterious lost city of Yamatai which is funded by the Nishimura family. Things go south the moment the ship, aptly named The Expedition gets shipwrecked before even reaching the island. Separated from the rest of the party, Lara must now brave nature itself in order to survive. 

New Screenshots for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII

This game is the third and final part of the Lightning saga which is pretty interesting given that Claire Farron returns to the fold after being absent in the second game.

More after the cut.

A Better Look at the New Tomb Raider
