Sky 9 Games’ A Knight’s Quest’s puzzles and platformer elements are a big win for the genre, but there are too many bugs for it to be recommendable. A Knight’s Quest, developed by Sky 9 Games, is the latest in a long line of action platform games inspired by The Legend of Zelda, though this title doesn’t try to hide that fact throughout its dozen or so hours of playtime. This is both a good and bad thing, as A Knight’s Quest’s Zelda-inspired puzzle sections are clever and fun but the rest of the game has little identity of its own....

Adam Sandler has gone from Saturday Night Live performer to one of the most bankable stars in the world. His comedies have rarely been critically-acclaimed but audiences always turned out for them and seemed to love the wacky characters he would come up with. Not all of Sandler’s characters are beloved classics, but he usually seems to go pretty big when creating them, for better or worse. Some can be laugh-out-loud hilarious while others can be downright obnoxious....

If you’re not familiar, Behance is a service designed to help discover and share creative work. The platform is often used to showcase in-depth design concepts, case studies, and works in progress. Adobe acquired Behance in late 2012. According to Will Allen, Adobe’s Senior Director of Community Products, today’s announcement focuses on four areas, and is the largest update to the platform yet....

Apple’s earnings day has arrived, and despite massive revenue and profit in the billions, it’s a bit of a different quarter for Apple for a few reasons. For starters, today’s earnings results mark the first time Apple is choosing not to break down revenue by iPhone, iPad, and Mac categories. And Apple already issued a rare guidance revision, lowering revenue guidance from between $89 billion and $93 billion to $84 billion....

The sudden announcement Joss Whedon is set to helm a solo Batgirl movie has been met with equal amounts of shock and excitement. The idea of a filmmaker who’s so closely tied with the Marvel Cinematic Universe walking across the street to DC is a shocker, but it’s difficult to think of a writer/director better suited to bringing Barbara Gordon to life. From Buffy to Black Widow, Whedon has demonstrated his ability to create and develop strong female heroes time and time again....

James Gray’s Ad Astra has been widely praised by critics, but general audiences seem unimpressed - what’s going on? Featuring a minimalist performance by Brad Pitt, Ad Astra is an intense sci-fi story in which Pitt’s character, Roy McBride, heads into space to reconnect with the father whom he believed died decades ago (played by Tommy Lee Jones). The film is intense and cerebral, using the trip to space as a metaphor for Roy’s loneliness and isolation, and his unresolved issues with his father leaving him....

The long-awaited Jobs movie opened this weekend, with Box Office Mojo reporting that it took seventh place in the weekend openings, grossing $6.7M against top-grossing movie The Butler at $25M. Distributor Open Road Films had expected Jobs to gross $8-9M. The movie had been heavily promoted, and with so many pre-release clips out there you almost felt like you’d seen the movie before it hit theaters. Reviews were best described as mixed, with critics giving it a Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 25 percent....

In September Ultimate had sold over 15 million copies, which makes it the best selling fighting game of all time....

Shares stand at $139.06 this morning after Morgan Stanley lopped $14 off the target price for Apple, offering revised guidance of $178 – but current share price could be a buying opportunity, as there’s still a c.$40 margin even at the new target price. It’s not all doom and gloom on Apple stock, with CNN’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt predicting Apple will sell 5 million iPhones in the current quarter, citing Piper Jaffray analyst, Gene Munster....
