Let the unfounded controversy begin

April 29, 2008

Wow. GTA IV just came out and is getting rave reviews across the board! GameSpot gave it a perfect 10.  I can just see the thrashing they’re going to take for that.
It should be noted however, that many other sites are touting it as one of the best games ever, including IGN, Game Informer, GameDaily, [...]

The good, the bad, and the ugly

April 26, 2008

Ok, good news first.  I recently met by sheer chance an old friend of mine from high school that I hadn’t talked to since then.  Turns out he is head of the computer dept at the Lakewood library.  He is trying to get people together to plan our 10 year high school reunion.  My god, [...]

Are you afraid of the Darkness?

April 23, 2008

I’ve had my GameFly copy of The Darkness for almost a month now and I think I’m gonna keep it. This game is frickin awesome!
As a first person shooter its simply average. But once you get into the story, learn more about the demon that is possessing you, and learn to use its powers, this [...]

As awesome as this is, this guy has WAAAYYY too much time on his hands!

MK vs. DC

April 18, 2008

Sooooo, the news broke today that the new Mortal Kombat project will be a cross between MK and the DC characters.
I don’t know man. I gotta say I’m initially skeptical.  Not only do the DC characters not fit in with the MK mold, necessitating the need to not have the game be M-rated, but the [...]

She broke her legal cherry, I’m so proud!

April 11, 2008

Devon got her very first ticket on Wednesday. $140 down Uncle Sam’s toilet. It was pretty ridiculous of her, actually. Not only did she run the red light, but she was on her cell phone when she did it and the cop was following RIGHT behind her.
Yeah.
I thought it was funny. Honestly though, I’m really [...]

Non stop thrills

April 11, 2008

I beat Call of Duty 4 last week.  All I can say is wow.  What a powerful game.  This is one of those games that is more than just a fun game, it is an experience.  Every single level has something in it that makes you go “Holy s**t!” and the story is extremely powerful.  [...]

Phone Booth review

April 8, 2008

Released in 2003, Phone Booth stars mainly Colin Farrell, but also includes several other relatively big names. Farrell plays a cocky, smooth-talking publicist with no conscience. At the start, we see him working several of his “clients” to get what he wants out of each one, lying and deceiving anyone he can and stringing along [...]

AVP: Requiem

April 8, 2008

I certainly was not expecting this movie to be as good as the first AVP, mainly because it is directed by people other than the previous director and I wasn’t really impressed with what they had expressed to the media about the vision and direction they were taking. Pretty much, I was right. I did, [...]

I Am Legend review

April 8, 2008

For those of you that don’t already know, this is actually a film version of a book. A pretty old book in fact, I believe it was written in the 50s.
The premise here is that the year is 2012. Several years before, scientists had invented what was supposed to be the cure for cancer. Much [...]
