One of Film Crit Hulk’s core philosophies is “NEVER HATE A MOVIE” and it’s a philosophy that I have tried to adopt.

I was not expecting much from this movie. It’s a January action movie and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first starring role since 2003’sTerminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

Because of this I ended up branching out a bit and trying some games I may not normally have spent the time or money on. The result is a top 5 list that is fairly diverse. … Continue reading Top 5 Games of 2012
