NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising
Shonen Jump's "Naruto" is a very popular and on going series of Japanese Manga that has been made into film, books, trading card games, and yes, video games -- lots of video games. The newest Naruto game is developed and published by Namco Bandai, and is called NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising. I don't know the first thing about the Naruto universe but I'm having a good time with Akatusu...[Read More]
Turtle Beach Ear Force X-31
I recently got the chance to review Turtle Beach's P21 headset, which I thought was a great USB headphone and microphone headset for use on the PS3 or PC. I've recently been spending time with another new Turtle Beach headset, this time it's the X-31 that is made specifically for the Xbox 360. The X-31 is a digital RF headphone + microphone headset that allows gamers to wirelessly capture the ster...[Read More]
Karloff & Lugosi Horror Classics
As I roll my eyes with the imminent release of SAW 6, Warner Home video has just released a four pack of classic horror films. I hadn't seen any of these oldies before the Karloff & Lugosi: Horror Classics two disc DVD set came my way. These are at least worth a watch if not a spot in your collection, but horror film aficionados will definitely appreciate the release of Michael Curtiz's "The Walki...[Read More]
The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft
As a kid, I enjoyed the Hardy Boys books from the 60s (although I read them in the 90s). The brothers Frank and Joe were always mixed up in one case or another in their hometown of Bayport in the northeastern US. The book series is still on going, although the Hardy Boys universe has been modernized, and last year, The Adventure Company developed a PC game based known as The Hardy Boys: The Hidden...[Read More]
Snakes On A Plane
Do you remember getting a phone call from Samuel L. Jackson in 2006 to help promote Snakes On A Plane? The applet used on the Snakes website to promote the movie allowed a friend to put in your name, hobbies, and phone number and a scripted program would use pre-recorded lines from Samuel L. himself to invite you to watch the film. It was a great marketing move and that helped spur on the tremendo...[Read More]
Need For Speed: SHIFT
As a long time Need For Speed fan, I had my concerns when I heard the newest iteration of Need For Speed was going sim, rather than sticking with the familiar arcade racing I had come to know and love from the series. To date my favorite NFS is Most Wanted; the thrill of the police chases and the memories I have of working my way through the Black List are still fond today. There are no police cha...[Read More]

NBA 10: The Inside
As a gamer and a sports fan, I love this time of year. The holiday gaming season is in full swing, football is everywhere, the NHL is back, and the NBA is nearly underway. In fact, I just watch some preseason NBA earlier tonight. As a fan of NBA hoops and games, each year at this time I'm taking in the newest versions of the three annual NBA titles that include NBA 2K from 2K Sports, NBA Live from...[Read More]
