Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters: Mulligan!
When it was announced that the new version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour would feature the Masters and the Augusta National Golf Club, no one was more excited than I. As a golfer, a watcher of golf, and a gamer,… Read More ›
Getting Tangled with Disney’s Latest
Not always with the most positive of reactions from fans, historians, critics, and the world at large, Disney has a way of making classic tales uniquely their own. The talents of the Disney animators and producers are again on display… Read More ›
Drinking (Lots of) Tea on The Amazing Race
For me, tonight’s episode of The Amazing Race was all about attitude and outlook. We saw whining, we saw crying, we saw complaining, and we also saw some really positive moments too (spoilers below). At least five teams at the… Read More ›
The Sims 3 on the 3DS: See you in the Next Life, Jack
The Sims 3, as a franchise, is a massive success. It has been ported to system after system, updated, expanded, and tweaked. Now, it’s a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS, but it may not be one that you’re going… Read More ›
Super Monkeys, Super Balls, Super Monkey Ball 3D is a Super 3DS Launch TItle
In our review of the Nintendo 3DS, we highlighted Super Street Fighter IV as one of the top titles available at the system’s launch. We found ourselves hugely impressed by the graphics, use of the dual screens, and controls. Of… Read More ›
Ridge Racer 3D- The Franchise Nitros onto the 3DS
Arriving just in time for the launch of the Nintendo 3DS is Namco Bandai’s latest entry into the venerable Ridge Racer series, titled, not surprisingly, Ridge Racer 3D. If you’ve read our review of the system, you know that we… Read More ›
An In-Depth Look at the Nintendo 3DS
Just about four and a half years ago, Nintendo got a big win in terms of the “cool” factor with the release of their current generation home console, the Wii. The system, with its incredibly unique and wholly intuitive control… Read More ›
In Which I Again Suggest that Neil Patrick Harris Deserves an Emmy for HIMYM
As I noted back in January with the “Bad News” episode of How I Met Your Mother, as they continue in their runs, sitcoms have a tendency to become more dramatic. My favorite example of this, and the one which… Read More ›
Talking Baseball, Baseball and MLB 11: The Show
A little bit more than a month ago, we had the opportunity to check out MLB 11: The Show at a demo day. We stood there with our Move controller and after a couple of minutes became truly adept at… Read More ›
Megamind Proves to be Mega Good
The question of whether the existence of a superhero necessarily leads to the existence of a supervillain is not exactly new to the super-people genre. However, it may never have been dealt with in quite as fun and amusing a… Read More ›
Contemplating the Hereafter
Should this review be looked back on in five years the following initial statements may appear wholly irrelevant, but in light of current events it is an idea impossible to ignore. Clint Eastwood’s latest directorial effort, Hereafter, opens with a… Read More ›
Fighting on (and About) the Homefront
What exactly is it that you look for in a first person shooter? Is it a plethora of weapons with which to exterminate your opponents? Is it a good fighting mechanic? Is it a great story? Eye-popping graphics? Is it… Read More ›
Trying to Flip The Switch
In reviewing Love & Other Drugs last week, I suggested that it was difficult to make a romantic comedy that really stood out and made you want to watch it because everyone knows what’s going to happen in a romantic… Read More ›
The Amazing Race – Kent, Vyxsin, Bottlenecks, and Passports
Okay, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe I’m ludicrous. I have railed on more than one occasion against bottlenecks on The Amazing Race. I have stated that having all the teams end up tied at the airport may not… Read More ›
Mr. Sunshine – Yay
Last night, as I’ve done for the best several weeks, I have sat down to watch a new Mr. Sunshine. Over the handful of episodes that have aired to this point, I think I can recall myself having laughed once…… Read More ›
Loving Burt Hummel and Revising my Views on Glee
Let it never be said that I do not give credit where credit is due. I have complained on more than one occasion that Glee has failed to create characters and storylines that I care about, that for me, on… Read More ›
Love & Other Drugs & Blu-ray & Romantic Comedies & Something Else Too
The romantic comedy is an incredibly popular genre. That’s something that always seems a little odd to me as 99 percent of romantic comedies follow the exact same formula. Heading into one of these films, rather than just knowing what… Read More ›
The Amazing Race: 15 Minutes, a Fanny Pack, and Ditching Friends
Tonight, The Amazing Race asked a really interesting question (we’ll be getting into SPOILERS rather quickly here, just FYI), or at least the teams did – do you go to your destination direct or do you change plans somewhere if… Read More ›
Breakout Kings – A Tale of Two Shows
I have sitting in front of me two episodes of Breakout Kings. One of the episodes I liked very much, the other interested me far less. The normally difficult process of judging a television show based simply on the pilot… Read More ›
