Kill Your Foes With Creative Teleportation

Kevin Kelly — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:30:40 PST

The Hayden Christensen teleportation movie Jumper comes out in a month, and of course there's a video game to go with it.

Of course, when you have the ability to hop dimensionally through space, it makes fighting a lot more fun.
