Ubisoft-France uses a three-story Enzio to end a "war" with a local French bank.

Back in May, a female staff member at Ubisoft France's office took a number of yellow post-it notes and made a Space Invader on her window. Across the street, a staff member at BNP Paribas(a local French bank) saw it and "fired back" by making one of his own. Then she made another, and he made another in response. And thus the great Ubisoft-BNP Paribas post-it war of 2011. Soon the French media caught wind of the war and began day-to-day coverage of the clash between the [...]

We can all remember family game nights, and one of the staple games for these occasions in my family was Battleship.

This is a tremendous feat for a movie in an opening weekend, but the fact that it is Harry Potter is not surprising at [...]

Green Lantern.... 1 and 2?
We loved Ryan Reynolds as Spence in his appearance in Scrubs in 2003, we loved him as Chris in Just Friends in 2005, we loved him as Wade in X-man and Andrew as Proposal in 2009 and now in 2011 we will get to love him as Hal Jordan/the Green Lantern from the motion picture.

A mystical green ring had chosen Ryans character, a test pilot. This right granted him with otherworldly powers, which he uses to keep peace within the universe in an intergalactic squadron.
The estimated $150,000,000 budget movie is to be released on June 17th [...]
