The Department of Electronic Entertainment warns: "Make no mistake about this: If anyone at CNN learns about this game, it will be described as “A game where children are encouraged to dress up as the Joker and kill people with guns.” The instant that anyone at ABC News notices that some of the character avatars are female it will then be called “A game where players are encouraged to dress up as The Joker and murder women.”

Warner Brother's DC Entertainment has been known for putting out (mostly) consistent content for years, and that includes forays into video games. Given that DC focuses a lot more on their solo characters, particularly Batman, Superman and Green Lantern, than Marvel does, its no wonder that DC has had an easier time adapting their IP's to other trans-media proprieties. While Marvel's team movie effort The Avengers has proven wildly successful, DC's Dark Knight trilogy, recent Man of Steel film and the entire animated universe helmed by DC animation veteran Bruce Timm has defined an era of superhero cartoons and direct-to-dvd animated features.
Man, DC Comics hasn't had great luck with games, has it? They had to resort to a few pretty average games to fill out the list.
The first day of 2013′s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo (CCEE) has wrapped up, and boy do I have a lot of cosplay photos for you. It seems the likes of Nathan Fillion, Peter Dinklage, Carrie Fischer and Stan Lee draw in quite a few people–somewhere around the 50,000 mark–and quite a few of those people decided to dress up for your viewing pleasure.
I snapped pictures of hobbits, wizards, psychotic clowns, batmen, mechromancers and the one and only Homestar Runner. Personally, my favorite cosplay of the day was the Splicer I caught on my way out of the Expo. He was committed to being quite creepy. Oh, and all the Adventure Time cosplay was great, too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a good Princess Bubblegum and Marceline before.
Remember, this is just day one of three. The CCEE runs until Sunday, and I’ll be there tomorrow and Sunday amongst the masses looking for the best cosplay. Be sure to check back then.

Sony’s PlayStation Plus program has been in effect for roughly two years now, and has given away a multitude of games, media, and services to PlayStation Plus subscribers since its inception. With the announcement that next month’s free game would be Rockstar’s legendary Red Dead Redemption, I decided to delve into my experiences with PlayStation Plus over the past six months, and give an overview about the games/services I’ve received. Being a particularly broke gamer, every purchase I make is based on the dollars-to-fun factor, so I’ll have a sentence listing the original retail price and whether or not it would have warranted a purchase.
GCI is an extremely cartoony game. It doesn't take itself seriously in the slightest bit. If the media targets this. They're just looking for attention.
Its funny, this is supposed to simply make fun of CNN....yet its entirely true at the same time. CNN has some of the biggest nimrods in "news" anywhere, and Fox is right there with them.....
I just kinda laugh because people constantly say GAME journalism is dead, yet look at how horrible mainstream journalism has gotten.
Uh...isn't writing an article on the web about this, kind of goes against the author's point?
Not everything needs to be a joke guys.
