There are some things we simply will not do in public – they just go against our nature. First on that list is dancing, we don’t dance in public. It’s not that we don’t appreciate good dancing, it’s quite the… Read More ›

Testing the Pitch on Pro Evolution Soccer 2011
The first thing we did upon entering the space for Konami’s Gamers’ Day was take a spin around the room, checking out what there was to see and where we could quickly grab a controller and get started. Upon completing… Read More ›
Samus Aran Returns (Again) in Metroid: Other M
Often when I look at the cool toys today’s youth gets to play with, I think of how great it must be to be a kid today. It’s a feeling only enhanced when I focus my sights on today’s videogames. … Read More ›
A Quick Look at Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Out of all the vampire hunting heroes in the world, Reinhardt Schneider holds a special place in my heart. Okay, fine, call me names, but I remember playing Castlevania on my Nintendo 64 over and over again so that I… Read More ›
Finding Freedom with Deca Sports, Adrenalin Misfits, and the Kinect
Today we were lucky enough today to spend several hours in the basement of a New York City midtown hotel. Okay, that may not sound particularly lucky on the face of it, but this was actually a pretty nice hotel… Read More ›
Les Stroud Goes Beyond Survival
By now we are all well-versed in the ways of the indigenous-people-with-the-modern-world-encroaching documentary. I in no way mean to suggest that the issue is an unimportant one, nor that it should in any way be minimized, simply that the manner… Read More ›
Persons Unknown – The Missing Episode Found
I am, as I know I’ve stated in the past, a fan of serialized television. I like being able to come back to a show week after week, month after month, (hopefully) year after year, and watch things unfold. I’m… Read More ›
AMC’s Mad Men and Rubicon – Two Summer Standouts
My internal calendar has informed me that the new television season is right around the corner. Okay, fine, it’s less my internal calendar and much more the fact that the original cable series I’m watching this summer are promoing upcoming… Read More ›
Ugly Betty: The Fourth and Final Season Makes its DVD Debut
For the past four Summers I have looked forward to the week every August when a new Ugly Betty complete season hits DVD. I have never been head over heels in love with the series, but I certainly have greatly… Read More ›
My DVD Shelf as a Picture Album
I have, as I think all people should, a semi-extensive DVD collection. I’d actually argue that it’s not terribly extensive – it doesn’t come anywhere near equaling what is available – but others would say that once you get somewhere… Read More ›
More may be on Soon
Sometimes I feel like the world has my back (not always, but sometimes). Earlier this week I wrote up a little ditty all about programming and how it didn’t seem to matter how many channels I had there was, quite… Read More ›
I Have how Many Channels? Why is There Nothing on?
I cannot lie to you, from where I sit (on the sofa with remote in hand) I tend to have one thought when I watch television – more. That’s right, more. I know, I currently have a few hundred channels,… Read More ›
Wii! It’s Madden 11
The Nintendo Wii, as we all know, cannot compete, graphically speaking, with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. As we have been told plenty of times, Nintendo’s idea was to create a more fun experience for everyone; to create a… Read More ›
Rethinking Alex O’Loughlin and Looking at Some TV Pilots
About a week ago I wrote an article about the upcoming Fall television shows which intrigued me and what I was planning to put on my TiVo list. I have now had the opportunity to sit down and watch several… Read More ›
My Desire to see Games and ISPs Play Nice
Often when I finish reviewing a game it marks one of the last times I’ll ever pick the title up again – not always, but often. If I do play the game again, rarely does it find its way into… Read More ›
Top Gear – Season Five, Alive
About a month and a half ago (maybe a little more, but I’m not sure why that would be relevant) I sat on an airplane listening to two individuals behind me discussing their problem with BBC America. They said that… Read More ›
