In terms of content variety, Mario Tennis Open is fairly lightweight. In the single player mode you can play through two sets of tournaments each containing four events (the second of which only unlocks after finishing the first with the character you’ve completed it with) in either singles or doubles modes. That’s about it. As [...]

Alright folks, it’s official. The first major blockbuster of the summer is here, and since it is still very much spring, I believe that this is an early gift to us from the Mindless Action Movie gods. No, The Avengers won’t win any critical praise for character development or writing, but the viewers do get [...]

IMAX, you beautiful Canadian innovation, you. Can we talk? Don’t worry, it’s good news. You’ve been consistently attempting to go above and beyond what anyone else out there has been doing; and why wouldn’t you? The competition out there is fierce!

In this week’s video, L.E. and Nathan discuss foreign films, with a particular focus on the recently released Norwegian (why did we think it was Swedish?) film Headhunters. Would subtitles keep you from watching a film? Should they? Click the link to watch!

The Avengers violated three of my biggest cinematic pet peeves. First, as has become frequent in films of late, there were way too many characters to follow. That leads directly into number two, there was no character development whatsoever. And three, the story was generic (bad guy wants to destroy earth) and was only there [...]

So, who out there enjoyed John Carter? Be honest. I know I personally found it to be quite rancid, but that’s just my opinion. There must be at least one or two of you out there who absolutely adored it. Well, whoever you are (I’m gonna call you Higorb (which is a name I just [...]

Set in a post-revolutionary world where, it’s pretty clear, the revolution didn’t quite go exactly as planned, The Hunger Games depicts a world whose regions have been cordoned off into restricted districts and a central Capitol. A select, lottery-drawn group of children from each of the districts are chosen annually to fight to the death [...]

As much as I enjoy virtual pinball, which, if you read our little site often enough, you’ve likely realized is quite a bit, I am finding it increasingly difficult to give an instant thumbs up to the ongoing expansion tables ZEN Studios is releasing for its Pinball FX/ZEN Pinball franchises. Yes, I still had to [...]
