Ubisoft, IFC Team Up

Today Ubisoft and the Independent Film Channel (IFC), announced the creation of a short film contest inspired by the video game Assassin's Creed due out in November. Beginning today, film students, video game fans and media arts aficionados are encouraged to submit their short film of six-minutes or less, based on Assassin's Creed themes for judging via IFC's Media Lab ( medialab.ifc.com ), an integrated program which offers filmmakers a destination for posting their independent films online. The grand prize winner will receive $10,000, an Xbox 360 system from Microsoft, an Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed and inclusion of their short film inside the Limited Edition version of the game. The winning film will also be aired on the IFC television network in November to coincide with the launch of the game.

Hammer of the Scots Board Game Review

Hammer of the Scots is a easy to play lightweight wargame that while a bit loose with history, is engaging enough that it really doesn't matter.

Renegade Game Chair Review

This game chair offers a decent feature set at a more reasonable price than Ultimate Game Chair's other pricier offerings.

A stellar cast and good action saves this movie from becoming Jackass with a plot.

This martial arts film offers some wonderful fight scenes buried underneath an awful plot.

This DVD may have a lot of star power but its paper thin plot, bad acting and terrible fight scenes make it a lesson in why some movies shouldn't be imported..
