Pokémon X and Y will be the first main series game in the franchise to feature a complete 3D play, something I personally believe should have happened long ago. But hey, good games take time, I suppose.
By the way, don’t confuse with this 3D Pokémon game. It was made by indie developers to somehow More >

We have all dreamt about it — crawling tombs with Lara Croft, smoking a stogie with Solid Snake, eating mushrooms with Mario (wait, what?) — the video game characters who seem so interesting enough that we would fantasize how cool it would be to befriend them. Anyone is cooler than my imaginary More >
Apple to start producing in the US, and why you should care
We try not to get into politics much here, but this is news worth looking at, if not celebrating. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, announced that Apple will start production of one of its lines in America in 2013.

2013 Ford Escape – The fun SUV tickling our techie side
When it comes to driving, we like a lot in our car. We may not always think we want all the cool new technology, but then you experience it, and you say to yourself, “Where have you been all my life?” (Trust me when I say, you will ask yourself that).
‘Immortals’ with Henry Cavill lacked punch: DVD review
When it comes to action movies, especially Greek mythology-related ones, it is pretty easy to please me. I love sword fighting just as much as a 10 year old boy, and then add some gorgeous women and a scantily clad Henry Cavill, then I should in theory be set up for a very enjoyable movie.
Well, at More >

I will start off this post with two facts: I loathe big books, and I love art. So when the PR guy handed over this book to us, I must say, it was a little bittersweet. But then I take a look inside and I find that this book is its own piece of work.
This book is a collection of some of the most More >
“Devil’s Playground and House of Blues Presents: Comic Book Vixens Burlesque Show” Review
I feel that I am the best writer on staff to review this, not because of my admirable writing skills, but by the pure essence of who I am: a gay male ex-dancer. Yes, there, I said it.
