Review: Boardwalk Empire: Complete Series
Boardwalk Empire gets a slow start in Season One, but from the very first scene, Buscemi—as the semi-fictional Enoch “Nucky” Thompson—starts chewing up some damn fine scenery. … read more

I’ve never understood why the emphasis in Assassin’s Creed games is less on historical assassinations and more on ridiculously trite “hunt and gather” missions, layered with the extremely superficial satisfaction of climbing and jumping off buildings into bushes. … read more
