King’s Bounty: Legions is a Turn based strategy RPG created to be played on Facebook. First introduced at E3 2011, i was a bit skeptical of how a game with such high rendering would run on a web browser, but after playing the beta i have to say i was quite shocked. Running on the improved Unity 3D More >

Catherine Review (PS3)
9 months ago
Catherine is a game I was really looking forward to. A game that isn’t about shooting or being an action hero. The game is also heavily Japanese, as it uses anime cutscenes mixed in with anime-style in-game cutscenes. The advertising was shamelessly promoting sex, as Atlus would use Catherine’s sex More >

On a normal basis, my attire usually is in the ballpark of a t-shirt and shorts or a t-shirt and jeans (which I’m pretty sure is the same for most of you). Although, there is the sporadic occasion where we do have to dress somewhat nice. It’s times like those, that the ol’ Casio G-Shock won’t cut More >

‘Captain America: Super Soldier’ Review (Xbox 360)
9 months ago
For a game that’s being rushed to coincide with the release of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the game isn’t that bad. Then again, I wasn’t expecting an awesome experience. The one thing that saved this game from being a coaster is that the gameplay is similar to Arkham More >
‘The Art of Sketch Theatre, Volume 1′ Book Review
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. Not to say that no one else here would be capable of unbiased writing and such, but let’s face it- men looking at More >

Review: Rango on Blu-ray
10 months ago
Rango is not only the first animated feature from ILM but the first from Director Gore Verbinski as well. Rango stepped into a genre where many studios have already established themselves as CGI powerhouses. Instead of the cute fluff we are used to from Pixar, this western tale chose to take cg More >

Review: Play with Your Johnson in ‘Shadows of the Damned’

A game filled with boobs and dick jokes, one would automatically think of Duke Nukem. Well, move over Duke, you have another hombre that wants a piece of that gaming pie. Enter Garcia “****ing” Hotspur from Shadows of the Damned. He’s tatted up and wears a leather jacket and pants. He has that More >
The Razer Hydra: Take Full Control
10 months ago
Wii for the PC. This was my first thought upon catching a glimpse of the Razer Hydra in action at E3 2011. A working demo of Portal 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops were the two games that it was being run with. I was equally impressed by both, but upon testing this breakthrough in gaming hardware, More >

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Review by John Spartan
10 months ago
I loved the first Transformers movie and hated Revenge of the Fallen. With Dark of the Moon, I was hoping for a movie that I can enjoy like I did the first one. The mission objective is more clear and the story less convoluted, but what we still have are the Autobots being underused, more comic More >
Cars 2 Review: Cars Harder
10 months ago
Cars 2 was an interesting movie. A followup to Pixar’s Cars, this movie was an entertaining watch, however it’s not what I’d expect from Pixar. It’s almost like Micheal Bay took over Pixar for the making of this movie. Things explode and things don’t always make sense. That isn’t to say this is a More >
