The Center for Disease Control is gone, hope is elusive and zombies are still everywhere.
AMC’s zombie hit The Walking Dead returned on Oct. 16 to an ecstatic 7.3 million viewers and Season Two starts just where Season One left off. The band of survivors headed by Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is still there, although their numbers are thinned out from the final episodes of last season, hoping against hope that things can get better and they find some vestige of safety.

I just went to write a review.
Some time later I was lying on the floor in a dark room. Only black light. Above, dancers whirled neon-laced hula-hoops and fiberoptic rainbow wands. They wore tight black suits with fringy neon epaulettes.

Post-apocalyptic games seem to have reached their peak in popularity recently with games such as Fallout 3 and Borderlands. Now another post-apocalyptic shooter, Rage, enters the arena desperately trying to differentiate itself from the rest. How does it do that? Well, by doing almost nothing new at all.
Rage is the newest shooter from veteran developer id Software, known for classic games like Doom and Quake.

Politics is a dirty game. While reiterating this unfortunate truism isn’t particularly enlightening, it does make for good entertainment.
The Ides of March is another installment in a long line of political films showing that there is no such thing as an honest politician. George Clooney’s fourth film as a director, The Ides of March is fast, smart and thrilling in a way similar to Moneyball and other confident dramas.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo, in all its superlative glory, was released for Super Nintendo in 1994. I never personally owned a copy, nor did I ever follow the series into its later incarnations. Yet that game made an indelible impression on me during long nights of my childhood I spent in my cozy basement.
I don’t want to negatively characterize online gamers, nor do I want to take online gaming away from anyone. It just troubles me that the authentic multiplayer experience, between friends in close quarters, is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Whenever I hear about the latest online multiplayer sensation, I can’t help but think back to my evenings with Street Fighter II and feel that something has been lost between then and now.

To my surprise, most people I talk to haven’t heard of The Walking Dead. Even worse, when I explain that it’s a post-apocalyptic zombie show, most people get turned off and are not interested in anything else I have to say.
The Walking Dead is about so much more than just zombies. It is a show about a family, nearly torn apart by unforeseen events and forced to protect themselves against the (in)human monsters of the night after civilization has collapsed.

When a television show has you literally shaking from the tension, you know you’re watching something good. Breaking Bad has caused the shakes more than any show in recent memory.
The show, which started out as a simple drama about a cancer-stricken high school chemistry teacher who turns to cooking meth to pay the bills, has evolved into so much more than an exploration of a good man gone bad. This past season of Breaking Bad, the fourth, with its slow boil storytelling, constant threat of death for the main characters and uncanny ability to pull all disparate narrative threads together into one overwhelming situation of helplessness has demonstrated that the show may just be the quintessential exploration of pride, moral degradation and crime on television.
