I had not originally planned to pick up Grand Theft Auto 4 anytime soon, but when your wife asks you to go out and buy GTA any hesitation would be a grievous offense. We got it for the 360 because we don’t own a PS3, and also because achievements are our console gaming lifeblood. Now […]
Boardgame Reviews: Gathering of Friends 2008
I’m back (but not yet recovered) from the Gathering of Friends, the annual 10 day long boardgaming convention. This year, I mainly focused on playing prototypes, workshopping, and general hanging out. Thus, there wasn’t as much time to try all the new published games that have come out recently. Still, I had a list of […]
Game Review: Army of Two
I had apprehensions about getting this game for awhile, mostly because EA required anyone who wanted to play the game online to have an Xbox Gold Account to do so. After letting the hype from the game cool a little I found a demo on Xbox Live and played that to wet my whistle. I enjoyed […]
Anime Batman and Other Hidden Comic Movies
By now, most of you are probably aware of all the big superhero movies coming out this summer. However, there are a few other projects that haven’t gotten quite as much attention that I’m interested in. Justice League: New Frontier was released recently, and since I was a huge fan of the original comic, I […]
Game Review: Turok, Tur-ACK!
Quiet…. can you hear that? It’s not far off… maybe thirty yards away. That sound- it can only be one thing. The Suck. Now I’m not one to usually voice my overwhelming disappointment in a video game ( I usually save that for real people and situations) but this is one infraction I just can’t […]

Some big names were there- Kiefer as Raistlin!- which made me think they were sparing no expense in making a cherished novel from my teenage years into […]

Review: "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" DVD
Who knew one giant gorilla could cause so many problems? The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary that primarily follows the story of Steve Wiebe, a laid-off family man who sees the world record in Donkey Kong and decides that he can beat it with the arcade machine sitting in his […]

Review: "Races and Classes" / "Worlds and Monsters"
To all the DMs out there: how many of you have ever made a house rule? How many of you have changed some piece of description because you felt it didn’t make sense or didn’t fit with what you needed? Probably all of you. Wizards of the Coast is undertaking a huge experiment in both […]
