Yet another game where Russia is the villain, Vanquish’s generic story and dull writing leave much to be desired. There are also quite a few issues. For example, on the occasions where you’re thrown into first person mode, your character can walk through NPCs as though they aren’t there, bosses are constantly rehashed, and some [...]

I was a little skeptical going into Tangled. You see, I love classic Disney cartoons like Aladdin, The Lion King, and what have you, but not many Disney cartoon musicals have come out that have even come close to the awesomeness of those ones in quite some time. However, though this melodic animated twist on [...]

Nielsen, a comedic legend (and a Canadian), worked to break boundaries and create new definitions of satire during his 50+ year career. For [...]

Review I love almost all of the Disney/Pixar films (Cars was alright), but it seems like there’s some special part of the Pixar team’s creative conscience that comes out for the Toy Story films. Maybe it’s the mix of pleasant childhood memories brought back to life, the perspective the films present, the action-packed ride the [...]

While we may not play or review PC games anywhere near as often as we do console or handheld titles, that doesn’t mean that PC gamers don’t deserve some Black Friday love as well. Thankfully, we got word from one of our readers (since you don’t have a username, we can’t name you in the [...]

Similar to Buried, the majority of 127 Hours was focused around one actor. However, though I reasonably enjoyed this movie, I think that Buried was, in comparison, superior. This true story about a hiker whose arm get’s trapped by a large rock had its ups, like James Franco’s fantastic acting, and some beautiful cinematography, but [...]

You know what the great thing about amazing deals on downloadable content is? You don’t have to worry about somebody getting trampled because the store might run out of stock, because it can’t! Earlier this week I mentioned that Xbox Live is running a week-long Black Friday sale, and that Xbox Live’s Major Nelson, would [...]
