Babel Rising
I've recently spent a few hours with Babel Rising, a new iPhone game from White Bird Productions and Bulky Pix. Babel Rising is a tower defense game, but not quite in your typical style. This is one of those games you can learn to play in two minutes and then you'll spend many hours enjoying. Let's take a closer look.
Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
Publisher Aspyr and developer Big Blue Bubble recently got together for a Nintendo DS game based off of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's popular book series, Fighting Fantasy. These books from the 80s blended classic D&D style universes with the creative possibilities of being able to choose multiple story paths (not unlike the Choose Your Own Adventure books). I haven't read any of these books...[Read More]
Samurai Champloo – The Complete Series (Blu-ray)
Director Shinichrio Watanabe has quite a resume in the anime industry. I'm not all that familiar with anime, but even bystanders to the genre like me have heard of and seen some of Cowboy BeBop, one of Watanbe's most popular works. Another series he was behind that recently came to Blu-ray is Samurai Champloo. The complete series set includes all twenty-six episodes of the series that was shown on...[Read More]
Kingdom of the Spiders: Special Edition
Spiders. Their very name instills a sense of fear in most folks, and the idea of an entire town overwhelmed by the eight-legged buggers is enough to send chills down your spine, mine included. That idea was made into a film in the late 70s that starred none other than William Shatner of Star Trek and Boston Legal fame. I hadn't seen this film in at least twenty years, but now, Shout! Factory is br...[Read More]

Buzz! Quiz World
In November, Sony released Buzz! Quiz World for the PS3, the newest entry into their popular trivia game series. Now, Buzz is back -- this time on the PSP. We reviewed and are still enjoying the PS3 version, but how does the PSP version stack up? Quite well, in fact. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
The Mel Brooks Collection
Every once in a while there is a box set that a studio releases that you simply must have for your collection. In this case, that studio is Fox, and that box set is the Mel Brooks Collection on Blu-ray. With nine of Mel's greatest films complete with new extra features and a gorgeous exclusive 120 page hardcover book, you can hardly go wrong -- especially at these prices. Let's take a closer look ...[Read More]
Revenge of the Wounded Dragons
2D brawlers were a huge hit in the late 80s and 90s, but you just don't see that many anymore. Done right, 2D brawlers are awesome co-op experiences that offer a lot of replay value and great memories. The genre has been well established by games like Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Captain Commando. SOE just launched a new PSN game that combines all of the classic themes and elements of a 2D braw...[Read More]
