SNK PlayStation Minis: Chopper I And The...

There is just something I really like about the SNK PlayStation Minis: yes they download to my PSP in less than 5 minutes and they also take up almost no space and give you a full game, but I really think it is the fact that it gives me a...

Risen 2: Dark Waters (Xbox 360) – A...

Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver has brought us the latest game in the Risen franchise with Risen 2: Dark Waters.  Instead of being a direct sequel to Risen, Risen 2 feels more like a re-imagining of the entire franchise, giving up on the high...

Juan Of The Dead (Movie Review)

When you think of Cuba and exports, it is almost always the illegal cigars supposedly rolled on the thighs of virgins (hey I am allergic to smoke, all I know about cigars I learned from TV and movies).  Otherwise if you know your history the...

Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior’s Rise...

Skyrim: Dawnguard (PC Vs. Console)

So I had been totally falling behind in the gameplay department when it came to big titles.  Indie titles I was becoming the guru, much like Judgeman is our fighting guru and the GamingShogun himself is the sim stud, we could review anything...

The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite Edition...

Ok it took a while for me to get my hands on the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Elite Edition keyboard due to mailing issues and it has been a while since then.  I am sure that the folks at Razer thought I forgot all about it, but it is really the...

NuGuard iPad GripStand and GripBase Review

Newertech was kind enough to send us a review unit of their GripStand and GripBase peripherals for Apple’s iPad tablet. The peripherals are meant to allow users to more easily handle their tablets on the go as well as on the desktop. The...

Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD – XBOX 360...

Tony Hawk Pro Skater.  That singular four-word sentence transports me back in time to sitting in the garage on a bean bag, with my SONY PlayStation hooked up to a 13″ Color TV, playing the game for hours on end. I perfected lines.  I...
