Nintendo and SEGA Sitting in a Tree?

I will be honest, there may be nothing to see here, but the recent interactions between SEGA and Nintendo (at least in Japan) have been quite intriguing.

DC Film Universe: The Flash – Fastest Man Alive

Flash: The Fastest Man Alive First off I know this wouldn’t happen because I want to take the show Arrow and use aspects of it, which could confuse people who don’t watch it or the none “hardcore” fans. Basically I would use the show for an episode or two to kind of set up the …

Editorial: R.I.P. LucasArts, Beware the House of Mouse

The writing has been on the wall for awhile, but last week it became official: legendary game developer LucasArts is no more.
