‘Splice’ Review
As the night dragged on I began to realize… This is not going to get any better.
Shrek Forever After Review
Earlier today, Chris and I went with my daughter to see the recent, and final, installment to the popular DreamWorks Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After. The original Shrek movie was fantastic, and the sequel wasn’t too bad, but the third Shrek movie was just too much, and it made me wonder how enjoyable Shrek Forever After would be. I was pleasantly surprised. It all starts out with a male...[Read More]
The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir
Last night, like I stated in my previous post regarding Subway vs. Panera, we went to Borders. I had a $15.00 coupon to use, so earlier in the day I looked around online. In their “Summer Reading” section I noticed this book titled “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” by Alison Weir. For the past couple of years, Chris and I have been watching the amazing Showtime show, The Tudors...[Read More]
The Stuff of Legend
Earlier this month I wrote about our experiences from 2010’s Free Comic Book Day. This year’s FCBD was not my first experience with the event, however. That distinction belongs to 2009’s FCBD. Why do I bring this up, you probably aren’t asking yourselves, but I’ll pretend you are as it serves to further my anecdote? I bring this up because if it were not for 2009&...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Darkspawn Chronicles (X360)
Today BioWare released it’s recent installment to the Dragon Age franchise, downloadable content titled Darkspawn Chronicles. News broke about this a couple of weeks ago, but details were sparse. Finally getting my hands on it, I have mixed emotions. Months ago, the Return to Ostagar DLC was released, amid much hype and lots of drama. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver, and it flat out fail...[Read More]
Iron Man 2 Review
Tony Stark is such a badass. When you think about it, he has everything people want. Fame, fortune, intelligence, good looks, a way with the ladies, and he is a fucking superhero. I loved the original Iron Man movie, and while I was sure I’d love the sequel, I still had some reservations. Chris and I love going to midnight premieres, so it wasn’t even a question if we would be attendin...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360 DLC)
I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins immensely, as indicated in this review. What I didn’t mention in the review is that we downloaded and played all of the DLC currently available as well. Well, to be fair, The Stone Prisoner DLC was included with the game, but we did purchase the Warden’s Keep and Return to Ostagar DLCs. The Stone Prisoner DLC provides a fantastic new character, Shale (wh...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360)
Since childhood, I have been a great fan of fantasy. I have played many fantasy-genre RPGs over the last two decades, and they remain one of my favorite genres of video game. Needless to say, I was excited about the release of Dragon Age: Origins. One of my favorite RPGs for a very long time was Neverwinter Nights, released in 2002 by Bioware. Hearing that Bioware, makers of amazing games such ...[Read More]
