You Don't Want To Miss This Game Inspired By The Art Of Studio Ghibli
If you've ever seen a film by Hayao Miyazaki, then you already can imagine the beauty that this game is going to bring. The various tales that Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli have introduced span vast and masterfully crafted worlds and have given us grandiose adventures. We've taken flight and fought air pirates in Porco Rosso, we met a world full of monsters and beasts in Spirited Away, we've watched a fish-girl who wishes to become a human girl in Ponyo, and even saved a forest full of spirits in Princess Monokoke.

6 Low Budget Sci-Fi Films That Helped Define Careers of Hollywood's Biggest Directors
For the most part, science fiction is usually associated with big-budgets and a high production value. In 1902, we were first transported through space in the French film, A Trip to the Moon, for an (at the time) staggering cost of 10,000 francs. Since then, movies truly have come a long way since 1902 and broken new grounds, and often, the bank while doing it. Yet, there are several movies that broke the mold without costing a first-born child. Here are 6 sci-fi films that defined the careers of the biggest directors in Hollywood today.

5 Things To Know About X-Men: Apocalypse Before It Arrives
With X-Men: Apocalypse just on the horizon (May 27th here in the US), there is a lot of hype building as our anticipation grows. So with that in mind, let's set the stage: The year is 1983, the events of X-Men: Days Of Future Past past happened roughly 10 years earlier. Thanks to Mystique's very public saving of President Nixon from an attack on Magneto, the world now knows and, for the most part, accepts mutants into society. There is still a rather unsettling and hidden prejudice against mutants, regardless of their acceptance, so there are still a collection of mutants who are suffering.
