Six Days in Fallujah's First Gameplay Trailer
Six Days in Fallujah is one of the most controversial games to ever be developed. The team behind it claims it gives an accurate portrayal of war. While that isn’t a rare claim in gaming, especially when it comes to shooters, Six Days is portraying the real-life story of the battle of Fallujah, using real names of real people, real locations and environments, real weapons, you get the idea. But some military experts disagree and gamers aren’t very happy with what they’ve seen. -

Suicide Squad Trailer
James Gunn’s 'The Suicide Squad' released its debut trailer this week, and while it looks a hell-of-a-lot better than the last one, it kinda fell on deaf ears. You could say DC is learning from their mistakes, but really they're just poaching talent from their competition. This movie does have a talking shark though if that sounds like something you'd be interested in. -
