Review: Puzzle Agent (PC)
Recently, Telltale Games released Puzzle Agent. While the name sounds relatively simple and safe, don’t let it fool you. This game was absolutely insane.
‘Inception’ Turns World Upside Down
Director Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Memento, The Prestige) anticipated, mysteriously marketed ‘Inception‘ hit theaters this weekend and took audiences on a surprisingly addictive journey through the dream state. It has quickly become one of the most intriguing films of all time, raking in around $60.4 million this weekend alone, the biggest opening of actor Leonardo Di...[Read More]
How to Train Your Dragon
When I first heard the title to the recent DreamWorks movie How to Train Your Dragon, I thought, “Oh, great! I could always use a little more dexterity and performance out of my ‘dragon’!” Unfortunately, as trailers started hitting the Internet, I discovered that this was a movie of quite a different sort. I still wanted to give it a chance, but I didn’t get around...[Read More]
Deftones Diamond Eyes
I have been a fan of Deftones for over ten years now. I was introduced to them by My Own Summer (Shove It), Back To School (Mini Maggit) & Change (In The House Of Flies) being played on the radio, but the day I decided to buy White Pony was the day after I saw them open for Godsmack in 2001 (my first concert no less). The band, Chino in particular, has since then had a major influence in my mu...[Read More]
Review: LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 (X360)
Last Friday, Chris and I rented the recent title to hit the LEGO video game franchise, LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. I guess you could say I’m a fan of the LEGO game series. I played through LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for regular Xbox, and then we got LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the 360. Months ago we rented LEGO Batman, but weren’t impressed. P...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Age: Origins Leliana’s Song (X360 DLC)
Back in June, during the excitement of E3, BioWare announced new DLC on the way for Dragon Age: Origins titled Leliana’s Song. Of course I was excited, but after the semi-bland Darkspawn Chronicles, Chris was very apprehensive. On Tuesday morning, the day of launch, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new DLC, but I also was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed. From watching the...[Read More]
Review: Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (PC)
Today, I spent a good portion of my time playing, and completing, Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air by PlayFirst. Well before the game was released, I knew I wanted to play it. I’m a huge fan of hidden-object games, so the recent installment to the Dream Chronicles franchise was a must-have. I will admit that The Book of Air is the first Dream Chronicles game I’ve ever played, so I was...[Read More]
Review: Chocolatier: Sweet Society (FB)
For the past 48 hours, I’ve been binging on Chocolatier: Sweet Society by PlayFirst for Facebook. I’m already hooked, and I know that no good can come of this. I know, it was only a couple of weeks ago where I ranted about people playing games on Facebook, but I stayed true to my word and I haven’t been flooding my friends with status updates. Had I chosen to do that, my friends ...[Read More]
‘Grown Ups’ Review
Everybody should go out and see Grown Ups while it’s still in theaters, but be careful of who you sit next to. With that out of the way, let’s get into just how hilarious Grown Ups really is. The plot for the movie is that the five main stars (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider) are all childhood friends who played on the school basketball team together. ...[Read More]
Review: Blur (X360)
Back in March, I was fortunate enough to grab a code for the Blur multiplayer beta. I tried it out, and enjoyed it immensely, but didn’t play more than a couple of days due to time restraints. Eventually, Blur fell out of my thoughts, and it seemed long forgotten. Forgotten, that is, until yesterday, when Lindsey found this gem. With the opportunity to get a $59.99 game for the low, low ...[Read More]
Beyond Infinity: Toy Story 3
Today I finally have no doubt in my mind that Pixar sold their souls to the devil in exchange for exceptional talent. The studio has constantly put out great movie after great movie with even their weakest film (Cars) being above many of the animated films out there. Now they venture back into the toy box to the one that started it all. Toy Story now enters a truly rare territory. A second sequel ...[Read More]
‘Clash of the Titans’ Review
What do you get when you combine men in miniskirts with too much bronzer, then add a hint of Kraken and a few pissed off gods?
