Chalk one up for those who believe that Hitman, the next videogame franchise coming to the big screen, is going to do what all films of this type have previously accomplished: suck badly. Apparently, the official plot of the Hitman film has been released. Have a look: The official synopsis says that Agent 47 (Timothy [...]
Eidos recently announced that Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be released this coming June 5 for the PlayStation 2 and PC. According to IGN, the PSP version will be shipped afterward.

A Web site named All I Want for Christmas is a PSP was launched last month by a couple of “kids” named Jeremy and Charlie. The objective? Jeremy wants to persuade his folks to get him a PSP this Christmas. One of them cooked up an incredibly lame video, and behold! Kid, this fellow is [...]
