Dead Pixels Monthly, April-May 2010
It’s that time of the month again, the time where we get all nostalgic and look back at the previous month’s offerings. That’s what Dead Pixels Monthly, or what I affectionately refer to as DPM, is all about. Well, that and unicorns. But what isn’t about Unicorns nowadays? Nothing, that’s what.
April might’ve been a little lacking in the new releases department, but May more than made up for that with Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and a slew of other titles I could list here but won’t. But as amazing as the past months has been, it’s merely a warm-up for June, which holds the highly anticipated E3 event that will no doubt shower us with jaw-dropping headlines, one after another.
TJ here. This month I’d like to complain a little about video game names. I miss the days where it wasn’t necessary for game companies to put a little colon and add something like “Beyond The Darkness” or “Enter The Dragon”. What happened to sequels just saying 2, 3, 4, or 5 million after it? Dead Space 2? Yes, I love you. F.3.A.R.? NO! I hate it! Why!? Fear 3? YES! Can’t We just keep it simple? What’s next? Left 4 Dead Threepeat? Left FOUR Dead? SAW 3: Behind The Mask? Resident Evil 6: Zombie Parade? It has to stop! Spread the word! I’m officially nuts.
Adam! Back to you.
Thanks TJ! April was a good month. A happy month. May was a busy month. If April and May were dating April would be the shy, quiet type and May would be the busy business executive. Whoops. I just got weird on ya. Let’s move on to what you might’ve missed, so you can get nice and caught up.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
