Minnesota Timberwolves: NBA All-Time Starting Fives
Cinema News &bull Yesterday
Other than the Vancouver/Memphis Grizzlies, it's tough to think of a franchise that's faced more hardship (both as a result of their own doing as well as bad luck) than the Minnesota Timberwolves. In their 21-year history, the Timberwolves have made eight appearances in the postseason, all of them consecutively. However, sandwiching this period of relative prosperity are two stretches of futility, defined by misfortune, missteps by management (Joe Smith was worth how many first rounders?), and unrealized potential. The team's early years were not atypical of an expansion franchise's early days. Though wins were difficult to come by (average… Full Story »

Killzone 3 In 3D: Hands-On Impressions Of The First 3D Shooter For The PS3
Cinema News &bull Yesterday
The first lesson of game-testing is this: never blast your way through an early build of a popular franchise title in front of the two guys who are responsible for making sure it's a major hit. They laughed, they smirked, they scoffed. When you're wearing the jetpack, there's no need to climb stairs, said one of them. The other producer left the room as I died at the hands of another Helghast onslaught. After playing through three levels of Killzone 3 at the Sony offices in Santa Monica last week (in 3D mode no less), I realized my shooter skills… Full Story »
