FEZCast PrE3
This is the thing — I’m having difficulty writing a nice little blurb for our pre E3 or “prE3” podcast due to hundreds of elevators going up and down outside of our window. Regardless of all the distractions LA has to provide, we discuss the trip to Cali, what we’re doing at E3, and vagina hands. I hoped that intrigued you enough to not run away.

Snow White and the Huntsman Review: Snow White, Warrior Princess
Ready for a gritty reboot of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves starring Kirsten Stewart and Chris Hemsworth? No? I know what you mean. I feel like this movie had already been made by Hollywood just a few months ago. But here we are, and you know what? Snow White and the Huntsman is actually a pretty good film. It suffers from a laborious screenplay and uneven acting performances, but there’s enough gorgeous spectacle here to keep all but the most cynical cinema goers mildly satisfied.

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Here – And I Told You This Crap Was Coming!
- Do you want this to be the last thing you see?
Yeah, that’s right…It’s time for us all to die. According to scientists from 143 different countries, we’re all screwed and will either be cannibalistic zombies, or dead, within a few weeks time.
I’m glad this waited until E3 was about to start. I’d be PISSED if I got eaten before the announcement of the new consoles.

Goon Review: Saint Among Hockey Players
I’ll admit up front that I don’t know anything about hockey. As far as I know, the only two things that distinguish hockey from any other sport where athletes try to place an object in a goal is that hockey takes place and ice and hockey players are renowned for beating the crap out of each other. Lucky for me Goon—not to be confused with Eric Powell’s brilliant comic series The Goon—doesn’t seem to be a hockey movie so much as a boxing movie on ice.

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare Review – Remedy Returns To Its A Roots… A Bit
I REALLY loved the original Max Payne…
Let me clarify that statement: Alan Wake IS NOT Max Payne, and in fact, most of what makes up Alan Wake, is fairly far removed from Max Payne. You cannot deny, however, that there are some very heavy similarities to both, one of the key factors being that both are essentially 3rd person shooters, and in fact, I feel that May Payne is, and will always be one of THE best in that category. It just felt GOOD, and you weren’t zoomed in over the shoulder necessarily, you had a birds- eye view of the world, and you could get a feel for the surroundings because of the camera placement and angle. Of course, you can also talk about the quote/unquote bullet-time effect that Nick mentioned in his review of Max Payne 3, but really, the game was far more than just that, it was a Noir-esque thriller with elements of horror, mystery, conspiracy and action. The character may have had some campy, cheesy metaphor-ridden dialogue, and I’m sure most of you, after seeing it once, skipped the comic-book style cutscenes (I liked them honestly), but the game was solid in most respects, and created a classic in and of itself..

Chernobyl Diaries Review: Been There Done That
A handful of twenty-somethings travel to Europe and hit the road. They journey across two continents from France to Russia seeing the sights, meeting the people, and embracing the culture. They end their trip after a brief visit to Pripyat—the site adjacent to the Chernobyl disaster—and they all return to America a little wiser, a little more worldly, and enriched with some wonderful experiences they’ll never forget. Chernobyl Diaries is a modern day retelling of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.

Phoenix Comicon ’12 Early Wrap Up
Last year, the crew from FleshEatingZipper joined forces together for the first time to cover panels, forums and cosplayers at Phoenix Comicon ’11. It was amazing. Since then, we’ve grown tremendously! Needless to say we’ve been putting the majority of our resources into E3 and because of that I’m the only one able to attend PHXCC ’12. The good news — some pictures and a podcast!

Men in Black 3 Review: Going Back to the Well
Fifteen years after the classic Men in Black and ten years after the outright terrible Men in Black 2 comes the next entry in the series, a sequel that no one except Will Smith seemed to particularly want. Regardless, here it is with a shiny new coat of prosthetics and updated CGI. And you know what? Not only did Men in Black 3 turn out to be a good movie, it’s even better the original. Who would’ve thought?
