Community - Repilot

Under the lie of attempting to save Greendale from a lawsuit, Jeff is sent in by his former co-worker Alan Connor (Rob Corddry) to find evidence of negligence following the collapse of a bridge designed by a former student.

WWE 2K14

/ / Gaming News & Reviews 

WWE 2K14Released at the end of October, the WWE’s latest wrestling game, created by Yuke’s & Visual Concepts and published by 2K Sports, includes a varied collection of gameplay (both online and off), one of the largest rosters to date, and an increased ability to customize rosters, titles, and more in the “My WWE” section of the game. However, in terms of gameplay it’s far less satisfying than the previous WWE_SmackDown! vs. Raw series.

The strength of WWE 2K14 comes from its varied roster composed both of current WWE Superstars and former wrestlers including and The Ultimate Warrior (available as a pre-order download). However, to get several of the Superstars you are going to have to kick-in some extra cash to download them at various later dates (meaning over two-months after its release several members of the game’s roster still have yet to be made available).

Codename: Action #4

/ / Comics

Codename: Action #4Together Operative 1001 and Black Venus infiltrate the secret facility of Hexagon to rescue Operator 5 and get to the bottom of the shadowy organization’s plan to replace leaders around the world with doubles in an attempt to start World War III. However, they find far more than they expected.

Along with showing us the fate of all the missing heroes, including American Crusader (who offers some insight into the group’s experiments), the latest issue of Codename: Action offers the infiltration of a secret base, a mad scientist (who apparently is far more than just Hexagon’s head of the doppelganger program), torture, and plenty of action.

Codename: Action #4 ends with a late reveal and a cliffhanger that suggests Dr. Thorpe has his own agenda outside the plans of Hexagon as the mini-series moves into its final two issues with our heroes coming face-to-face with the series’ true face of evil. Worth a look.

Batman and Two-Face #26

/ / Comics

Batman and Two-Face #26Continuing the “Big Burn” storyline Bruce Wayne attempts to talk some sense into Erin McKillen before the would-be crime boss he broke out of prison (under the guise of Matches Malone) and Two-Face take their vendetta to an entirely new level.

In more flashbacks to the series of events which led McKillen and Two-Face to their present war, Batman and Two-Face #26 offers a look at the death of Erin’s twin-sister Shannon (which has to be, without a shadow of doubt, the dumbest prison escape plan in the history of the written word). Letting her sister commit suicide (because in Gotham where everyone is on the take there was no plan that made a lick of sense), we see the horrifically stupid series of events that ended one sister’s life and has led the other obsessed with Harvey Dent’s death.

Although the comic has some nice moments, especially in the early scenes between Bruce and Erin, the flashbacks are so unbelievably dumb it wouldn’t surprise me if everyone who read this issue lost a couple of IQ points. Pass.
