by Chris Gibson - September 21, 2009

REVIEW: Hot City Theatre's NEIGHBORHOOD 3: REQUISITION OF DOOM
by Chris Gibson - September 14, 2009
Seeing NEIGHBORHOOD 3: REQUISITION OF DOOM could serve as a wake-up call, or even a cautionary tale, for some parents, since it examines the addictive qualities and violent nature of certain video games. Of course, it takes that idea to a Twilight-Zone extreme, but that's what makes it so engaging.
