Sorry for the lateness on this one, but developer U4iA's goofy (in a good way) Fps Offensive Combat was a title that I promised to get around to in the wake of our Pax Prime coverage.

Usually, its in a street, urban setting, not in the backwoods where essentials such as a roof over your head, food on the table and chopped firewood. I was looking forward in seeing Debra Granik make her sophomore feature splash, and despite some reservations at first, Winter's Bone should have been retitled Tough as Bones for the resilience, bravery and desperation of the young heroine in the white trash backdrop that seems inviting only when you don't cross the lines. I had thoughts of David Gordon Green's George Washington,...
