As we began tonight’s The Amazing Race, I was exceedingly worried about my good friends Jet & Cord, the team affectionately known as the Cowboys (because they’re cowboys in real life). Now, when I say “good friends” I mean the… Read More ›

A Look at Sega’s Upcoming Titles
Attending PR events for games’ publishers can be an odd experience. Wherever the showcase is, the room is full of monitors playing the latest iteration of not yet released titles and now with the PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect there… Read More ›
Amazon Launches Unlimited Streaming Video
In April of last year, I wrote an article about the increasing choices one had with on demand viewing. At the time I said Amazon’s service, Amazon on Demand, offered a plethora of shows and really high quality viewing. I… Read More ›

2010’s Unstoppable – Relentlessly Disappointing
Watching the special features on the Blu-ray release of Unstoppable (2010), one gets the impression that a whole lot of time both during pre-production and production was spent on character development, figuring out who these two main characters were and… Read More ›
The Amazing Race Looks at Some Unfinished Business
Since I first heard what this newest edition of The Amazing Race would feature—folks who didn’t win but nearly did or lost for horrible reasons—I’ve been referring to it not by its correct title, The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business, but… Read More ›
Romance of Rome – It’s Like Where’s Waldo, but Roman
I like the notion behind hidden object games. That probably comes out of my old-school love of Where’s Waldo – there’s a sense about finding that which is hidden in plain sight which I find quite satisfying. What I don’t… Read More ›
The Road to the (MLB 11) The Show
At an event this week in New York City, we were able to take the newest iteration of Sony’s baseball franchise, The Show, around the block and we certainly liked what we saw. Outside of outstanding graphics and what seems… Read More ›
The Mustachioed Plumber Takes to the Court in Mario Sports Mix
No stranger to sports titles, the famed plumber Mario Mario along with his friends (and enemies) from the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond are now part of a new Wii release, Mario Sports Mix. Consisting of four main games and several… Read More ›
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and You Will do so on Blu-ray
Perhaps oddly, there is for me a certain comfort in sitting down to watch a Woody Allen film. While the stories he tells are different, while the characters (more so when he’s not present) differ, and while the genre (or… Read More ›
Dead Space 2 – Do you Enjoy Impaling the Undead with Their own Limbs?
Every once in a while—not often, but once in a while—I come up against a game which is in a genre I enjoy, has great graphics, sports a decent plot, features a good system of upgrades, and contains a fair… Read More ›
The Truth is, You Don’t Know Jack
Once upon a time there was a quiz videogame that, rather than being based on a television show made itself appear as though it actually was a television show, and a rather crass one at that. From sexual innuendoes to… Read More ›
Glee Does Valentine’s Day
During their second season, a good number of shows tend to suffer a dramatic decline in their quality of storytelling, or at the very least a perceived decline in their quality of storytelling. It’s a little hard to know exactly… Read More ›
That’s Right, I’m Also Picking my Favorite Super Bowl Commercials
I am always vaguely shocked the morning after the Super Bowl when I read about what commercials others thought were the best. There tends to be this moment when I think to myself “What is wrong with those people? That… Read More ›
Two Worlds II – Orcishly Good Fun
Some games like to hold your hand, slowly introducing you to the interface and the options and the story. A subset of these games go far past the hand-holding-during-training phase, they tell you quite specifically that you need to head… Read More ›
Hysteria Project 2 – We Recommend Not
Oh so long ago I put myself on the pre-order list for a Sega CD and got one as soon as possible following its release. Among the games that came with the add-on system was one called Night Trap which… Read More ›
Watch TV. Trust me, it’s Good for all of us
There are some nights that I sit there and watch TV and just kind of wonder why I do it. There I was last night watching V and just wondering why I still had the show on my TiVo. There… Read More ›
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (But do Ninja Masters Ever Really go Away?)
Sega has quite clearly found an emulator that they like to bring their old Genesis games to the iPhone and consequently we’re getting rather regular releases of old Genesis titles. One of the latest of these is Shinobi III: Return… Read More ›
