In short, Shadow is a point and click escape puzzle game by Kotoronisu. The premise is that you are trapped in a room and you have to get out, throughout the room there are cryptic messages and clues that help you solve the various puzzles.

Finally, after much anticipation, Cowboys & Aliens has finally made its way into the box office. With big names like Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig backing up the combination of A-list and B-list cast, this movie dares to walk with a big stick; whether the film itself is capable of wielding said stick is for you to decide.

No, that isn't a typo - this is not a review for the summer 2011 film "I am Number 4" but rather another short film found in the bowels of the internet. Where this deserves to stay.

The film begins with a pretty interesting idea, what if the guy that usually plays the bumbling idiot gets to be the big star for once in his life. Then it takes that idea behind the shed, holds it down, and makes it eat its spit. Andy is, like most people in California not smoking all of the legal weed they can get their hands on, trying to make it big. He has had several roles allowing him a foot in the door but he is always casted as the bumbling idiot. On the day that he decides to tell the producer of his biggest opportunity to forcibly insert the role up his anus - coinciding perfectly with Andy's birthday, he is magically turned into Bob Saget's bitch . . . . John Stamos.

I was originally going to write a review for the newest Luna Lovegood . . . I mean Harry Potter movie, but I felt like that would be boring. So instead I decided to fluff my hipster ego by reviewing a short indie film that no one has heard of.

I've posted a link containing the entire video for the sole fact that I doubt very many have seen it. The video follows Doug Karr as he questions his grandfather, David Karr (A player on the world stage during the Red Scare post World War 2), well Doug is posing his questions to a ghost seeing as his grandpa died a month before his birth.

The 10 questions begin simply enough, questioning David's multiple marriages, and with building suspense - each question digging deeper into his life as a writer for the USA Communist newspaper "The Daily Worker" and his growth as a world player - finally ending with the deepest question asked throughout the entire video "Who where you?".

I don't want to give too much of the video away, and I can't talk too much about it without giving something away. That said I do want to talk as a whole, the transitions were gorgeous and entertaining, I didnt see a single flaw between each scene and they flowed almost magically. The actors chosen were very good, and I enjoyed the performance but the short was shot and directed by the actual Dough Karr and the question arises "Why the hell weren't you in a movie that follows you?" That was the only problem I saw with the short.

I don't believe that we have started any form of a rating system - they seem cliche to me. But I do want to give this short my thumbs up and suggest that if you have not clicked the link at the top yet, that you do so soon . . . do it now. . . . watch the video.

I have been playing Starcraft since early 2000 and World of Warcraft since, whenever BC came out. Both are great games and have a replay value of forever... or so I thought. Turns out, WoW can get boring after playing hardcore for 4 years or so. But Starcraft, much like other PvP games (Yes I know WoW has PvP but PvP takes a shit ton of time and friends to get into.) I can't get enough of. I've been playing starcraft 2 quite literally, as much as I used to Play WoW, and I still suck, but I don't care. Of course as any WoW player knows, the itch comes back in like a month after you cancel your subscription. So i'll be back in azeroth soon to down Ragnaros once I finish this epic Terran v Terran stalemate cause seigetanks and valkeries.

Super Mario Land was Nintendo's first Game Boy game featuring their famous plumber, Mario. Forgoing the conventional adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, Land takes place in Sarasaland, where an alien named Tatanga has kidnapped Princess Daisy. What's that? Princesses in need of rescue? Letsa go.

If you can actually read these words, chances are you're familiar with Mario platforming. Running, jumping on enemies, and throwing superballs (this game's Fire Flower turns you into Superball Mario strangely enough), you navigate your way through stages filled with enemies, bottomless pits and item boxes. This game can be pretty unforgiving at times with it's placements, but ultimately this makes level completion more satisfying. Read more after the jump.

So for the first time in the history of portable gaming both competing portable systems are at the same price point $249.99. This begs the question, which handheld is right for you? This normally would involve a lot of research and work. To make things easier, we here at ForThePlot have decided to do this work for you. See the comparison and recommendation after the jump.

June 1st was a good day. After waiting for over a month, the Playstation Store came back online, and I could finally obtain a copy of Arcana Heart 3. The game was originally released on April 19th, with the PSN outage coming soon thereafter. I’m happy to say that it was well worth the wait. Arcana Heart 3 is a hectic fighter, filled to the brim with fighting goodness for fans of the genre. Read more after the jump.

If you really wanted a single player fighter on the 3DS, well, here's your shot. Dead or Alive: Dimensions is the 5th fighting installment of the series, while it doesn't really bring much brand new to the table, the enhancements over the rest of the series definitely makes it worth consideration.
