Mickey Rourke’s Groove Salad

This is the most genius thing I’ve heard all week. Apparently the end credits of Rogue Warrior gives you an ambient/house song complete with swear-filled Mickey Rourke-isms from the game.

Let us know at Nerdist Industries what you [...]

Pics from NY Comic-Con featuring shots of "Ghostbusters" Game

I came out to New York to enjoy Comic-Con, unseasonable warmth and an odd number of its citizens yelling at people on their cell phones. Seriously. I’ve seen this multiple times so far.

E3 Floor Report: Rise Of The Argonauts

Whether or not you have a thing for classical mythology (four years of high school Latin taught to me by Jesuit priests with whom I had only platonic relationships) this game looked INSANE…

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

If you’re like me, you were kicked real hard in the nards by Ghostbusters II five years after being so deftly stroked by Ghostbusters I. If you’ve been trying to spit the taste of the second movie out of your mouth for 20 years, you may be able to wash it out with the minty [...]
