In the end Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was not overtly bad but was too inconsistent in its graphics and gameplay to be worth a recommendation. The story and voice acting are some of the worst I've seen in a big budget game. The industry has grown up, albeit slightly, but the Ghost Recon series has not adapted well.

Autumn Dynasty is a new RTS on the iPad, temporarily going for $4.99. I am loving the art style and the hardcore gameplay gives a lot to sink your teeth into. The controls work well and having a touch screen adds a different element to the genre I feel. There is also multiplayer over bluetooth or online. A pretty great package, I highly recommend this.

All day on Twitter I was hearing that someone had ripped off the home-brew PlayStation Move game, Johann Sebastian Joust and put it in iOS. My first thought was "oh must have been Zynga." My second was "that really sucks for the developer." My third was "oh, its on iOS? Now I can actually play it."

This summer is only in its first weeks and we already have a film that is one of the highest grossing of all time. The rest of the summer has a lot in store as well. An embarrassment of riches of sorts for the film world and while I'm looking forward to some more great films this summer, the months after are promising some incredible films.
Here are some of the films finishing off the end of 2012. The list of films just worth talking about is really long so I've highlighted some I'm most excited for. Read more to see what we're in store for.
Last summer we learned that, after troubling contract disputes between AMC and Sony Pictures Television, Breaking Bad will only have 16 more episodes before the series comes to a close. AMC announced today that the 5th season will start on Sunday, July 15th at 10 p.m., with the first 8 episodes. We'll have to wait for season 5 part-2 until summer 2013.

Creative genius, Dan Harmon, will not be returning to the show he carried, birthed and nurtured for the fourth season this fall. Days ago fans of the cult comedy were rejoicing when news came down that the fourth season was picked up but rumors of Harmon's potential exit from the show were beginning to surface.
Harmon took to his Tumblr to explain the situation in sunningly uncharacteristic fashion for Hollywood. In addition to his departure he notes that neither Sony or NBC contacted him in anyway.
I have an immense amount of respect for Rockstar and their games. Red Dead Redemption blew me away a few years ago and won my game of the year for 2010.
Can Max Payne 3 push another Rockstar game to the top of my list? Watch my review to find out. Read more to watch the video review.
