The Avengers opened in US theaters this past Friday, if you haven’t seen it then I highly recommend that you do and soon. It is possibly the best movie action of the year, and without a doubt the best comic book movie of all time, and the longer you wait the better the chances that [...]

Back in 2001 a little company called Remedy Entertainment released a gamed called Max Payne. The noir story of a undercover cop on the run is most famous for bringing the bullet-time feature to video games. As a fan of pulp and noir it was a favorite of mine back in the day, with the [...] So last Friday I spent $182.98 on a new toy. Less than two hundred dollars kids, that’s how much my shiny new iPad cost me. How you ask? Don’t worry, no get rich quick schemes or evil spam bot crap here, I merely cashed in all my credit card and best buy reward points all [...] This is going to be a double review for a pair of mobile games that have been devouring my time of late. Tiny Tower and Draw Something. First let’s get the latter out of the way. Draw Something is essentially a Pictionary version of Words with Friends. You and a buddy take turns drawing something from [...] So a week or so ago my friends talked me into going to see this flick. Now since I had never read the books, and since all the hype for it was equating it with Twilight, I likely would have never seen it on my own. Overall I thought it was an enjoyable film, though [...] Under the Moons of Mars began appearing in the pulp magazine The All-Story in July of 1912. For six monthly issue Edgar Rice Burroughs introduced the American reading public to the exotic adventures of John Carter, Confederate cavalry men, Virginian, and Champion of Mars. Burroughs would go onto write eleven novels in his Barsoom saga, [...] I am a comic book geek of sorts, and a fan of Marc Silvestri’s The Darkness. It was never the best written, or the most coherent series, but it has always reeked of pulpy goodness. With mobsters, and demons, and it doesn’t hurt that it was always an amazing looking book. As a result of [...] I tend to live by the old adage that says “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional”. When I was a wee little one in the 80s my favorite cartoon, and thus toyline, was the Transformers. My entire childhood I yearned the Constructicon gift set that would have allowed me to build Devastator. Unfortunately [...] Many moons ago I reviewed the Lego Millennium Falcon, and soon after I picked up its sworn enemy the Slave 1. Ship of the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. It’s a smaller set, about half the size in fact, and also half the price at $79.99. Once again however I was lucky to get it [...] A while back I talked about a game called Orcs Must Die by Robot Entertainment. Lately their newest game Hero Academy has been devouring my time. It is a turn based strategy game for iPhone that plays a little like a fantasy chess game. In fact it reminds me of the old Battle Chess games [...] |
