Review: Dragon Ball Z Kai – Season Two (Anime)
Dragon Ball Z is nothing short of a cultural phenomenon. I first experienced it in high school, but if I had been of an elementary school age, I can guarantee that along with pretending to be superheroes and G.I. Joes on the playground during recess, we would have thrown in the Z Fighters. I’d have run around that playground shouting Kamehameha and arguing the effects of my attacks until I w...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Ball Z Kai – Season One (Anime)
I moved to California during the summer of 1997, the summer immediately prior to my freshman year of high school. My bedroom was pretty awesome back then, with a built in corner desk for my computer, and a great entertainment area for my TV and consoles. Some of my fondest memories in that room happened when everyone else was asleep, and the lights were off. Yes, a young teenager, alone in a dark ...[Read More]

GUNNAR and Ubisoft Team Up

Review: Prototype 2 – Colossal Mayhem DLC (360)
Last week, our review for Prototype 2 went live. In that review, we equated Prototype 2 to a movie like The Expendables. Specifically, “you didn’t watch The Expendables for the gripping romantic subplot, and you’re not going to play Prototype 2 for the tragic tale of loss and revenge. You watched The Expendables because they blew shit up, and you’ll play Prototype 2 to blow shit up.” P...[Read More]

Dishonored Given Release Date
I am, for some reason, just now beginning to realize that this is going to be an incredibly busy and time consuming year for me. Adding to the already myriad gaming options I will be faced with over the coming months, Bethesda has given their steampunk sorcery stealth assassin title, Dishonored, a release date of October 9, 2012. It’s smart timing, as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully I ...[Read More]
