Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person military shooter that aims to bring a more cinematic and intense feel to the modern warfare genre. The title is being developed by Yager and will be published by 2K Games. We were able to get a sneak peek of the gameplay from the first half of the game while at E3, and we’re glad to report that this is a definitely a title to keep on your radar.

The protagonist is Captain Martin Walker, who leads an elite Delta Force team sent to rescue U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad, who had been previously assumed to be dead. Col.

I don’t watch Fox’s Lie to Me regularly, but I tuned in for last night’s spring premiere because of two words: Jason Dohring. Veronica Mars fans know what I’m talking about. Dohring played Logan Echolls, Veronica’s on- and off-again boyfriend on the cult series for three years. But before he was The Love Interest, Logan was the obligatory psychotic jackass. A troubled son of movie star parents who drank a lot (mom Lisa Rinna) and beat him (dad Harry Hamlin!). Pretty early on, Dohring’s performance and his prickly relationship with Veronica were stealing the...

Dr. Cal Lightman's (Tim Roth) talent is reading people's facial expressions and body language. He's the human "lie detector," and according to him, his process is flawless. But this week, when his former mentor Helen Dezkis (Rowena King) calls him in to do a lecture for her students, Lightman meets Martin Walker (Jason Dohring) and sees that his flawless process might just have a few cracks. Well, at least when it comes to reading psychopaths. Martin participates in a little experiment where he describes a picture to Lightman, and then the good doctor will tell him if he's "full of it" or not. The experiment backfires on Lightman, and after misreading Martin's cues twice, Cal is left with the proverbial egg on his face and owing the guy $200. The main draw of this show is Tim Roth’s impeccable portrayal of the grating, egotistical Dr. Lightman, and I am very...

Welcome back to Fox, Lie to Me!
On "Beat the Devil," this show's summer season kicked off with a great murder mystery and a light-hearted UFO mystery.
I truly enjoy watching Tim Roth as Cal Lightman. I think the combination of his British accent with the character’s straight forward bold confidence makes for a very powerful character.
This week’s episode also included a little flash from the past, as Professor Helen Dezekis has a history with Cal, which we learn through the episode was very intimate for him. While he downplayed the aspects of the relationship they had 23 years ago, both Gillian and Helen felt he went after Martin because of some sort of jealousy issue over his “replacement."
As always, Cal knew how to read the signs and knew how Martin was going to think.
On the flip side of this episode, it felt to me like...

Before the extended hiatus, Lie to Me (TV) resident deception detecting genius, Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) faces down a disgruntled farmer with a tractor load of explosives mere blocks from the Lightman Group’s building and down town Washington D.C. The farmer is complaining that due to the downturn in the economy, he lost his farm, which had been in his family for three generations. He wants to talk to the president, or he’ll set off his trailer load of explosives, which would effectively decimate the downtown area and everyone in it. Despite his partner, Gillian Foster (Kelli Williams)’s objections, Lightman strolls down to have a little chat with the irate would-be bomber, to see if the threat is real or not. Meanwhile, a group of third graders on a field trip to the Lightman Group is stuck in the building while the threat is on, and...

One of the few actual surprise announcements at Spike’s Video Games Award show was the trailer for 2K Games’ new third-person offering, Spec Ops: The Line. In case you missed it, check out the impressive trailer below, courtesy of Gametrailers.com:
2k Games describes the storyline of Spec Ops as follows:
Spec Ops: The Line unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai. Once the playground for the world’s wealthiest elite, Dubai has fallen victim to a series of cataclysmic sandstorms. The city’s ultramodern architecture lies half-buried under millions of tons of sand. The very sand that blankets the city plays a marquee role in altering combat situations and serves as a powerful but unpredictable force that will both help and hinder players throughout the course of the game.
While most people have fled the now-barren wasteland before the sandstorms swept through, U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad...
