Apparently for youtube's Black20, Tim Burton's recent Alice in Wonderland just wasn't weird enough. And what's the easiest way to weird-up any mundane old thing? Lady Gaga, clearly. "When Wonderland is threatened by a pop-music hating Queen Of Hearts, Lady Gaga returns to her homeland to kick some evil ass... but mainly dance, sing, and weird it up." It might not be a professional level mashup, but it's pretty hilarious and worth it just for the concept. Check it out below:

A casting update on IMDb has the gaming community in a stir as it hints at the inclusion of the often maligned Robin in the upcoming Rocksteady Studios developed game, Batman Arkham Asylum 2. The actor Vincent Martella, best known for his role as Greg on Everybody Hates Chris, is supposedly the voice of The Boy Wonder.

Modern Warfare 2 might not have been as realistic as its predecessor, but one thing you can't argue is that it wasn't cinematic as hell. Cut from almost entirely in-game footage, Michael Barnes has put together one of the coolest pieces of Machinima I've ever seen. Heck, replace those CGI soldiers with actors and this six minute video would be fit for a war movie set-piece. If you were a fan of MW2's singleplayer campaign, you should get a real thrill out of this. If you haven't gotten around to trying it yet, you might want to steer clear, spoilers abound.

Curious about Logorama, winner of the Prix Kodak at Cannes and the Oscar for Best Animated Short? Well awesomely, the short, in its entirety, has been uploaded to Vimeo for your viewing pleasure. It's a really interesting and somewhat nonsensical take on logos and branding in modern society, animated in a really fun and unique way. Check it out below:

Fresh from his win at the Oscars on Sunday, Christoph reveals to Jimmy Kimmel the greatest role he has ever played. No one could possibly describe this masterpiece.

Fan boys rejoice (the ones who didn't go out and see Alice this weekend that is), for the Tron Legacy trailer is now available online, albeit in 2D. I have to say, while I'm not the biggest Tron fan ever, this was a pretty cool looking trailer. The VFX look stunning, and the music... well Daft Punk is just pure amazing. Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think:

The new trailer for Capcom's Lost Planet 2 has hit the net, and it's certainly something to take notice of. The trailer clocks in at a whopping 4 minutes and 3 seconds, and in that time you're presented with every possible reason for buying this game. I have to admit that I never played the first Lost Planet and up until now I had been largely ignorant of the game's sequel. That being said, this trailer brought me sufficiently up to speed on the series, and what the next title has in store. It's definitely looking like something to keep an eye out for.

No, your eyes do not deceive you, these are in fact photos of Star Wars characters in present day Dubai. Now I know what you must be thinking, 'why are there Star Wars characters in Dubai?' The answer: because the French magazine Amusement is awesome and likes to take cool looking photos of geeky stuff. This series was taken by Cedric Deslaux and if you can read French (sadly I can't) then you can check out the website and read an interview with the photographer that gives a little more insight into the shoot.

I shouldn't even have to write anything to convince you to watch this trailer. But if, for whatever strange reason, you need motivation to check out two and a half minutes of badassery... let me just say, Iron Man and War Machine fighting robots! Yeah!

Predictable. Fairly amusing. That is all. Read on for the full results. Or don't, you can probably guess them.

Katie Tiedrich was born as the daughter of wealthy Russian aristocrats, has been a pirate and created the nation of Switzerland.  Katie has even been through self made time rifts and fought insect mutants.   But then again, so has our editor in chief.  So why is Katie the center of SMCR today?  Awkward Zombie. 

If years ago someone had asked me who I would like to see adapt Alice in Wonderland into a live action film, I would have said Tim Burton. I doubt, however, that I would have said Linda Woolverton would do the screenplay. Her background in animation (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Mulan) makes her great for a Disney animated remake, but she’s not quirky enough for a Burtonesque film. This is reflected in the movie, where the direction is strong and the script is weak. As my new boss said to me, if you’re a Tim Burton fan you will like it, otherwise you won’t.

Hey, guest writer Silverhawk79 here. A few weeks back, I had the privilege of attending a local anime convention, Naka-Kon. This was to be my first convention, and it was quite an experience. The con itself was held in a Hyatt Regency hotel in Kansas City, ensuring plenty of space for the various panels and merch booths.

Earlier this week, we discussed Portal 2 coming to gaming near you. That's awesome and all, but for those of us not into Portal (surprisingly few of us...), the sequel to our "Best Indie Title" and "Most Original Concept" should excite. Nintendo Power's April issue revealed some details, and we're going to run down what we want to see.
