Check out Razer's BlackShark, Minus Battlefield 3 Logo

We liked the Battlefield 3 Collector's Edition of Razer's BlackShark headset for its solid construction, solid sound performance and badass design. (Check out the full review.)

But not everybody wants the name of a shooter that came out last year embossed on headphones that will likely outlast whatever console you may have played it on. Good thing Razer announced this black and green version, which will sell for $119.99 ($10 less than the Battlefield 3 edition).

You can order the face-lifted BlackShark from Razer, or pick one up when they hit store shelves in mid-late September.

What do you think? Do you like the generic version or the Battlefield version better?

Sony Goes Biblical for Will Smith's Cain

Sony Pictures is moving forward with Will Smith's The Redemption of Cain, an epic interpretation of the Cain and Abel story.

The Wrap reports that the project has been green-lit and will begin production in July 2013. The film will shoot in London and Jordan, with exteriors shot in Morocco. The story, which was originally titled The Legend of Cain, has been described as a re-imagining of the Biblical sibling tale, but with a vampiric twist.

Smith was rumored to direct and star in the movie earlier this summer, but no word yet if this still the case. Smith's Overbrook Entertainment will produce.

Ranking the Movies of Summer 2012

Was the Summer of Awesome as awesome as we had hoped? Check out our scorecard for the movies released this past season. They're ranked by our critics' review ratings, from the worst to the best. Chime in on the Comments with your picks for the best and worst movies of Summer 2012.

The Apparition

Released August 24, 2012

Read the Review

See It in Action

Review score: 3/10. Simply put, it’s not scary at all. It’s a horror movie that does nothing original and doesn’t even manage to scare you in the process.  If you enjoy laughing at bad movies with friends, then sure, have a good time watching it. -- @GreggKatzman

Piranha 3DD

Released June 1, 2012

Read the Review

See It in Action

Review score: 4/10. Where the original gave us genuine horror in addition to the slapstick, the sequel infuses so much meta that it's damn near intolerable. Every character is so shallow and so stupid that it's hard to feel anything for them other than irritation. It's almost like you're not even watching a sequel but a Wayans Brothers parody. -- @Max_Nicholson

The Campaign

Released August 10, 2012

Read the Review

See It in Action

Review score: 4.5/10. The political lampooning here is witless and dull, serving up the same trite jabs you've seen on SNL for decades. The writing milks the leads' stupidity for all its worth, and then keeps going long after its dead. At a certain point, the film just stops being funny and starts getting preachy. -- @Max_Nicholson

That's My Boy

Released June 15, 2012

Read the Review

See It in Action

Review score: 5/10. We were pleasantly surprised when this film turned out to not be terrible, but rather mediocre. It’s a hit or miss comedy where the misses win, percentage-wise. But it certainly has more life to it and actual humor than most of Adam Sandler’s recent output. -- @EricIGN

26

Premium Rush

Released August 24, 2012

Read the Review

See It in Action

Review score: 5/10. Despite Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s valiant efforts, this bike messenger thriller rarely comes to life and overstays its welcome. Ultimately, you’ll feel more satisfied by an actual 90 minute bicycle ride. -- @EricIGN

FX's Terriers to Return as a TV Movie?

Omg omg omg! I know it's dangerous to get our hopes up when it comes to extensions/renewals of beloved gone-too-soon TV shows, but look what happened to Arrested Development! The times, they are a changin'. And TBIvision.com is reporting that Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield and one of our favorite short-lived shows here at IGN TV, Terriers, is currently in talks to produce a two-hour Terriers TV movie.

Check out IGN's Review of Terriers: Season 1 here!

And as a first, this project would be source-funded through Kickstarter, with Terriers fans actually putting their money where their love is. “I’ve had friends who’ve raised money for indie movies through Kickstarter," Ryan told TBI, "and I started to think that if you wanted to make a two hour movie that capped off that series, how much would it cost to make it and would there be a way to raise the money via a combination of Netflix and Kickstarter."

Terriers starred Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James.

“It’s a very nervous time in the TV industry because paradigms are changing," Ryan continued, "but it’s also exciting because in the past the show would have been dead and gone and never to be revived but is there a way to do something.” Ryan is currently in talks with Terriers producer Ted Griffin to revive the series.

“I don’t own the rights," Ryan said, "Fox 21 does but maybe there’d be some upside for them if they didn’t have to chip in a dime but all of a sudden had a two hour movie as an asset that they could add to what they have on Netflix, maybe they’d go for it."

Sounds great. Now where do I give ALL THE MONEY???

Dota 2 One Million Dollar Tournament Begins

Valve has kicked off its 2012 Dota 2 tournament The International, where teams of highly skilled Dota players will compete for a one million dollar grand prize. If you're interested in watching the tournament as it runs between August 31 and September 2, it can be viewed for free online or though a dedicated client on Valve's Steam digital distribution platform.

Dota 2 has been in beta testing for quite some time and routinely ranks as the most popular game on Steam. Whenever it's ready to officially launch, it will be free to play and have the entire roster of heroes unlocked. A microtransaction system, which is currently live in the beta, will allow players to purchase cosmetic upgrades for things like heroes and item couriers.

Valve also just released Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, an update of its long-running competitive shooter franchise, which was recently reviewed on IGN.

Nook Simple Touch Hacked to Emulate Playstation

The Nook Simple Touch by Barnes and Noble is famously easy to root, and hackers have put it to all sorts of inventive uses, but this one may take the cake: a Hack a Day reader sent in a video of him playing the Playstation titles Crash Team Racing, Monster Rancher 2 and Spyro 2 on his Nook's black and white e-ink screen.

The hack, which requires a rooted Nook Simple Touch, involved installing a version of Mac OS 7 and FPSE (Free Playstation Emulator, which assigns the bottom-half of the touch-screen to a virtual-button controller), and a program called NoRefresh to manage the display.

The hack is actually fairly straightforward; if you've rooted your Nook you could probably pull this off too. Pretty amazing to see a device made for reading text emulating graphics that were cutting edge not so long ago.

Of course, the game ISOs and Playstation BIOS files are copyright-protected, so as cool as this is it's not technically legal. And rooting your Nook, if you don't know what you're doing, is probably a bad idea too.

Have a games-related hack of your own? Tell us about it in the comments.
