Remember The Titans
Denzel Washington is one of the most compelling actors intheatres today, and a look at this filmography reveals how many hit films he’sbeen in. One such film about a struggling football team that has a breakoutseason is Remember The Titans, from the early 1990s. Buena Vista and Disney recentlyreleased this title on Blu-ray, and I was pleased to get it in for review...
Disturbia
I have to admit when I received Disturbia on Blu-ray for review after watching the horrendous Transformers movie, I wasn't too excited. What does one have to do with the other? Shia LeBeouf. I was expecting a goofy, shallow thriller film, and that's really what I got...
God of War – Chains of Olympus
God of War quickly became one of my favorite franchises of all time with two incredible offerings on the PS2. While the PS3 version is still about a year out, SCEA and Ready At Dawn Studios have put together a very intriguing offering on the PSP, God of War – Chains of Olympus. As a die hard God of War fan, I couldn’t wait to see Kratos’ next adventure unfold...
NBA 08
The NBA 0x series, Sony’s in house project, had a very poor outing with the PS3 launch last year. It was also my first experience with this still very young basketball series. I didn’t give the poor outing of NBA 07 a great deal of thought, but as the release of NBA 08 drew nearer, I was very interested.
The Invisible
I wasn't sure what to expect when I received The Invisible in for review. Turns out, it's a thriller meant for a teenage audience, but it has a rather original story that made it interesting. You probably haven't heard of the stars of the film, I sure hadn't, but Justin Chatwin and Margarita Levieva did a fine job portraying their respective characters. Justin plays Nick Powell, a good kid with a...[Read More]
Time Crisis 4
The Time Crisis series has come along way. When I first heard the fourth iteration was coming to the next gen consoles, I was excited. This would be the first lightgun game of the next generation, and I was interested to see how Namco Bandai would make it work. As many of you know, older lightgun games don't work, or don't work well at all, on flat screen TVs. Also of interest with this release wa...[Read More]
Meet The Robinsons
Meet The Robinsons was one of the most well received animated films of 2007. We all knew it would look great on Blu-ray, but how good is the movie? Is it one of this kids movies that the older crowd can't stand?...
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
SNK hasbeen behind some of the greatest fighters of all time. PS2 owners have been inluck over the past couple of years, as SNK Playmore has released several oftheir classic 2D fighters, and some new ones, too. Enter NEOGEO Battle Coliseum,a new title for the PS2 that brings together nearly forty fighters from a widerange of SNK titles...
King of Fighters XI
SNK's long running King of Fighters series returns to the PS2 with King of Fighters XI. As with most of the series I have played over the years, there is a lot to like, but also some sticky drawbacks too that can make the game hard to get into or enjoy. Still, for 2D fighter fans, this is one to strongly consider for several reasons...
Crash of the Titans
Crash Bandicoot first came to the Playstation in a time when I was still solely a PC gamer. Since coming back to consoles in force several years ago, I have yet to go back and play through those old Crash games, although I do have a fair interest in doing so. When Crash of the Titans, the first Crash adventure on the Xbox 360 came in for review, I was fairly excited. It looked like a fun, simple, ...[Read More]
Spider-man: Friend or Foe
Spider-Man video game fans haven’t had a lot to be excited about this year. Frankly, the Spider-Man 3 movie game was a flop, and try as we might, myself and most other gamers couldn’t’ find enough good about it to keep playing after the first few hours. Now, just ahead of the film’s release on DVD and Blu-ray, we have the new, albeit kid-focused, adventure entitled Spider-Man Friend Or Foe. I rece...[Read More]
Logitech Cordless Mediaboard
Logitech has proven itself over the years with dozens of excellent peripherals for PCs, home theaters, and consoles. One of their latest products, the Cordless Mediaboard, came in for review. Marketed towards PS3 users, the Mediaboard attempts to bridge an interface gap between the PS3 and the user by offering the convenience of a standard keyboard. I’ve spent some time with the Mediaboard now and...[Read More]
