Review: The Classic Dungeon »

The Big Picture: The Classic Dungeon is a board game with a simple premise: venture into a dungeon, kill the monsters, take their treasure, and escape. The game is based on a D&D style fantasy theme, and the players take the role of adventurers. But unlike in D&D, where the adventurers work together, in this […]

Chatty’s Review: Mario Kart Weeee! »

Wha? What the hell am I doing here you ask?
It’s quite simple really, I felt like reviewing a Video Game and this here site here actually covers that particular niche better than mine (Obligatory shameless plug? Check.)
So we’re cool? Cool!
Ok, here’s the thing. My lovely wife is currently gone for […]

Review: Incan Gold »

The Big Picture: Incan Gold is a light push-your-luck game with an Indiana Jones-esque theme that is suitable as a nice filler for serious gamers and as a mainstay for family gamers. Essentially, you and the other players search through ancient Incan ruins for treasure, trying to avoid all manner of traps and dangers […]

Review: Iron Man »

General: Iron Man is a faithful fun-filled adaptation of one the most flawed heroes in comicdom. Tony Stark is a womanizing, irresponsible, hard-partying, smug son of a bitch, but he’s super-cool. His ascendancy into superherodom doesn’t necessarily change that, it just gives him a sense of obligations and duty. His origins remain […]

First Impressions: GTA IV »

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. […]

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 the […]

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 bought […]

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 let slide.
Propaganda […]
