10 years ago it was blasphemous to even think that Square would revisit any of the characters or worlds from previous Final Fantasy iterations. Then came the new millennium and shortly thereafter we received the excellent FFX-2 as well as some Final Fantasy 7 spin-offs. Last year we received the critically thrashed Final Fantasy 13, and some thought that would be the last we saw of that ... Read More!

This game can definitely be beat in probably 90min and then it would really feel like playing an animated movie. Vanquish was incredibly stylish and extremely satisfying gameplay wise. From a pure gameplay perspective, it’s a must play. A step above Bayonetta I’d say and maybe I’m bias because it’s more in my genre. It helped it reminded me of Zone of the Enders in ... Read More!
The Snakebyte Wii Motion plus controller is one of the latest 3rd party controllers to be released in the wake of Wii Motion Plus. I don’t have any experience with any other products from Snakebyte, and really hadn’t heard of them before this product, but I have to admit that they have won me over with a very impressive and very competent product that certainly got the job done and did ...

I enjoyed this movie mainly because it was smart. This film was written with intellect. The only way it works is how it’s presented. In a first person narrative of events that have already happened and you learn how they happened and what came about because of it. You don’t know the full ending but you become invested enough to want to know what happens. It’s funny, Emma ... Read More!
I think I have a guilty fetish of watching Nicholas Cage movies you know will be bad. It’s not to say Season of the Witch is terrible, but I just want to describe this fetish even more. Nicholas Cage is realistically and by pure math should be probably more miss, than hit, but nevertheless you keep watching him. My favorite movies of his are the National Treasure franchise, only ...

I have to say that I really was looking forward to playing Uncharted 2. I played a bit of Uncharted 1 and really wasn’t impressed with the game that I was playing. Maybe I played the game at the wrong time? 2010 may not have been the gaming environment that the original game was prepared for, but Uncharted 2 brought a whole other entertaining and interesting experience from beginning to ...

I liked the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I don’t think I was as huge a fan as others on the web, but I thought the movie was pretty well done and very enjoyable for people of all ages. I like the Jack Sparrow character enough from the first film, and thought he was just as enjoyable in the subsequent movies even if the movies themselves weren’t as enjoyable and I am certainly ...

Yahoo happened to score the trailer for the upcoming Thor movie and I am pleasantly surprised at what I’m seeing! Chris Hemsworth is actually pulling it off. They seem to have drawn inspiration from the characterization of Thor from the ‘Ultimate’ line of Marvel comics, as well as the original 626 version. I like it. I like it a lot. ... Read More!
I finally started watching some of the DC Showcase shorts that have been included with their recent DVD feature film releases. This particular short is actually a bit longer than the typical showcase’s of the past that were about 10-13 mins in length, with Shazam getting some much appreciated feature time coming in at a TV episode worth time of 22+ mins! The first thing that caught my ... Read More!
From a playability standpoint this game is really long, some 52 levels I believe it was. I don’t even know what the final time stamp was on the game, but it took about 3-4 days of solid sessions, basically time you actually commit to playing a game cause you need X amount of hours to play and progress far enough. Having watched/played a bit of the stages of Castlevania, then beating Fist ... Read More!
I picked up Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage for the PS3. The game was monotonous at first, slow paced but it’s become more fun as I upgrade along. It’s basically Dynasty Warriors with The Fist of the North Star skin. There is more to it, I had to unlock coop which I haven’t even touched yet and was the main reason I got the game for my brother and I to sit down button ... Read More!
