Review: Spider-Man: Edge of Time (PS3)
After last year’s Spidey game, Shattered Dimensions, Activision has decided to let Beenox become the official dev team for their games starring Marvel’s famed webslinger. So, does this game prove the choice as a good one?
Review: Guardian Heroes (XBLA)
Treasure is responsible for some of the greatest genre-defining [insert-type-here]’em-up games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Radiant Silvergun was sublime. Ikaruga was a sweet, hellish nightmare…in a fantastic way. Before both of those classics became the classics they are, however, there was Guardian Heroes on the SEGA Saturn. Easily the most fun I had on a Saturn, and one ...[Read More]
Review: Space Channel 5 Part 2 (XBLA)
I have very fond memories of Ulala and her dancing heroic antics in the original Space Channel 5. I had never, however, played Space Channel 5 Part 2, which was originally exclusive to the Dreamcast in Japan, until it was re-released on the PlayStation 2. The sequel was generally regarded as superior to its predecessor in terms of graphics, gameplay, game length, and more, but its limited release ...[Read More]
Review: SEGA Bass Fishing (XBLA)
I’ve never been a big fan of fishing games. Part of that, I’m sure, is that I’ve never been a big fan of fishing in general. I find it to be extremely boring. Back in my Dreamcast days, SEGA Bass Fishing was a game I never gave any attention to, and it was definitely not one of the first that would come to mind if asked which classic Dreamcast games should be re-released on XBLA ...[Read More]
Review: Honeywell HCM 350 Cool Mist Humidifier
As I’ve mentioned, the air quality of the room I spend the majority of my waking, non-working life in is very important to me. I eat in that room, play in that room, relax in that room, and occasionally work in that room. I want that room to be comfortable. I want that room to envelop me and provide me with an unfettered, worry free experience. Purifying the air is part of that. Making sure ...[Read More]
Review: Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Headset
Earlier in the year, I started taking a mile run in the mornings. …Okay, I started taking a mile jog in the mornings. …FINE, I started taking a mile WALK in the mornings. I have bad knees, get off my case, you’re not my mom. Anyway, as a way of making the walk seem shorter, I’d stick my iPhone in my pocket, plug in my headphones, and blast various albums directly into my br...[Read More]
Review: Honeywell HPA-150 Air Purifier
When I’m not asleep, most of the time I spend at home is spent in front of our TV. I may be using the computer, watching TV, playing video games, or watching a movie, but it all happens in one room, from one general location. With a full size PC and two laptops always on and running, and the Xbox 360 spending quite a lot of time active, dust from case fans becomes a real concern. As an avid ...[Read More]
Review: The Batman vs. Dracula
Yes! Oh Heck Yes!
Review: MLB Bobblehead Battle (XBLA)
When I play sports games, baseball is definitely not one of my normal selection. I generally tend to pick up tennis or soccer before anything else. That being said, MLB Bobblehead Battle is a far cry from something like 2K Sports’ MLB 2K series. With a quirky bobblehead style, and gameplay reminiscent of an arcade game, MLB Bobblehead Battle, along with the other MLB Bobblehead entries from ...[Read More]
Review: Mercury Hg (XBLA)
Mercury Hg isn’t just a game that can be fun to play, it can be fun to hear as well. UTV Ignition Games brings together multiple elements to amplify your audiovisual experience. Now, you could say “Mercury H Gee” or just Mercury, as the game helpfully points out that Hg stands for mercury on the periodic table of elements.
Review: Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 (360)
There was a time when FIFA was not the first name that came to mind when you thought about the best game of digital football you could play. In this ancient time, years past, Pro Evolution Soccer, also known simply as PES, was renowned as the true aficionado’s game of choice for its focus on providing as true a football simulation as it could. Today, due to a lack of vigilance on Konami̵...[Read More]
Review: The Sigh
The author of Persepolis is getting a fairy tale of hers released in the US. How does it match up with her previous work? Pretty well.
