Mario Kart Wii is (obviously) the latest installment in Nintendo’s long running Mario Kart franchise, as well as being one of the first Nintendo games to strongly support online play. But how does it rank with the other Mario Karts? Mario Kart Wii uses five different control schemes… Read More

It has finally happened..

Super Mario RPG has finally arrived on the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console!

After months and months of waiting, I can finally play one of my all time favorite video games once again on my Wii. Nintendo re-released SMRPG as the special 250th game on the North American Virtual Console, and they couldn’t have chosen a better game for it. It also happens to be the first Super Nintendo game added to the Virtual Console in nearly six months! Super Mario RPG is available to download for 900 Wii points and is rated “E” for everyone.

Now where’s Yoshi’s Island?

Portal is a first person puzzle/shooter and, like Team Fortress 2, is one of the five games included in The Orange Box. Portal is easily the most original and interesting of the bunch, as well as being one of the most innovative and genuinely fun games of the past couple of years. Read more

Homestar runner, Strong Bad and the rest of the characters of Homestarrunner.com have been a cult icon since the website launched in 2000, and through all the obscure video game references fans wondered if/when the Homestar runner crew would get a “proper” video game of their own. Our pleas have finally been answered by Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People ( or SBCG4AP for short), a five part, point-and-click adventure starring everyone’s favorite email answering, wrestling mask faced cool guy, Strong Bad! But does it live up to the Strong Bad name? Or are the Homestar runner characters just a stunt to gain a larger audience? Read more

I apologize for the slow updates as of late, I hope to get some more reviews up soon. I feel there have been too few video games reviewed thus far and I hope to change that, so expect some video game reviews soon as well as some more movie reviews (as soon as I see something other than The Dark Knight).

A perfect movie is an extremely rare thing. A movie of such quality the only word to describe it would be a “masterpiece” (I don’t like to use that word very often). A movie of this good only comes around once every great while, But 2008 has given us not one, but two perfect movies. First was the animated, sci-fi masterpiece, WALL-E, and now we have what I believe is the greatest comic book movie ever created, The Dark Knight.

The Batman franchise was practically dead and buried after the cinematic abomination known as Batman & Robin in 1997. Then along came Batman Begins to not only redeem the franchise, but make it far better than it ever had been before. Batman Begins is more than just another super hero movie, Batman Begins is a super hero epic!

Unlike the 1989 Tim Burton Batman film… click to read more

This is a guest review written by Marcus from www.marcusmccurdy.com

When I first saw the previews for Hancock I couldn’t wait to see it. The idea of a bumbling super hero intrigued me and the physics of it all seemed more realistic to me what with him landing and destroying the street around him and stopping trains that ends up in their derailment. Preview after preview and my excitement grew. Then, as the release date crept inexorable closer I began to worry. Some preliminary reviews came out and from what I read Hancock did not sound like it was the  movie I was hoping for or the movie the trailers portrayed. Will Hancock be able to save itself from the hype? Keep reading to find out!

Spiderman 2 is fantastic! It took everything that made Spiderman a great comic book movie, and made it all the better. Its one of the rare sequels that outdoes the original in every way, and it is one of the best super hero movies ever made. Read more

Ah Spiderman 1. A very enjoyable and fun movie. It makes me sad to know how big of a slap in the face Spiderman 3 was after two great movies. But Spiderman 3 can not dampen the greatness of the first two films.

Spiderman was really the movie that started the current success…
