Playable Cinema: 20 Good Movie-Based Games
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I'm ready to roll the maligned and forgotten. One of the oldest truths in the games industry is that games based on movies suck. In fact, it was a game based on a movie that gets all the blame for nearly collapsing the whole industry in 1983, that being E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial on the Atari 2600 (though I found its reputation to be worse than the game itself, as seen in my review). The reason for that is simple: games based on movies are designed more to be marketing tools for the movies in question than as enjoyable games in their own right.

Chilling Digitally
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I chillax with the maligned and forgotten. Let's face it; gaming can carry stresses of its own. Whether you're getting your face stomped in by a Dark Souls boss, or getting teabagged by some jerk in an online round of Halo, gaming these days provides the kinds of headaches that can almost be worse than the normal crap in the real world. Even I experience that kind of thing often. Hell, last week, I almost felt my brain snap when I lost my last life when I was close to getting a tough star in Super Mario 64.

Lyin' Gamer
I’ve hit a very specific age where instead of getting asked how much I bench (which honestly has never once happened), I am asked if I am a gamer. Numerous people, who have nothing to do with each other, have seen me with my fat face, thinning hair, novelty t-shirt, and thick-rimmed glasses, and thought, “That dude spends his free time playing video games.”

11 Games That Need Sequels
There are some games that seem to get infinite, needless sequels. Then there are other games that we love that get an update every other year, or maybe once a console cycle. Then there are the ones that torture us by never receiving a proper sequel, or at least taking longer than anyone can stand. These twelve games need a sequel like, yesterday.
