The Boondocks: The Complete Fourth Season

The old adage is true, those that burn the brightest burn out the quickest.  Sony Pictures Home Entertainment brings us the fourth and final season of this animated satire series that examines the most taboo aspects of American society in uproarious laughter and relevance.  Unfortunately, without the touch of the show's creator, the last stanza falls quite short of its established mark of quality.

UFC

Live from current gen consoles, IIIIIIIITTT'S TIIIMMEE!  For the first time, EA Sports is releasing an mma game under the UFC banner, with a brand new fighting experience utilizing the company's Ignite Engine.  Insane graphical prowess and intricate systems is slightly hampered by an overly complicated striking control scheme.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Invasion

The second half of Ghosts' DLC season is underway!  The 3rd quarter is offered to the Xbox crowd first with Invasion.  This $15 standalone purchase, or "free" for season pass holders, offers three brand new multiplayer maps with a port of a timeless fan favorite, plus another puzzle piece to the on-going Extinction saga.

Watch Dogs

It's a really good thing Aiden doesn't forget to charge his phone at night.  Ubisoft is shifting their next gen program into high gear with a new IP.  This third person stealth action game set in a not-too-distant future Chicago takes advantage of the horsepower under the hood of the Xbox One to create a fast, fluid, and fun experience during each and every moment.

Titanfall: Expedition

Hold tight, reinforcements are on the way!  EA and Respawn Entertainment are dropping the first set of DLC content for Titanfall.  Expedition includes three new maps that support all of the current game modes found in the Multiplayer playlist.

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

The game based on the grandest event for the world's biggest sport is back!  EA Sports lines up an kicks off this spring with the latest World Cup game to offer a really fun and surprisingly deep simulation to the summer's premier event.

Titanfall

Time to standby (again)!  EA and Respawn Entertainment have teamed up with Bluepoint Games to bring a port of this wildly popular sci-fi FPS to the Xbox 360.  While there are noticeable downgrades in the presentation department, the essence of control and gameplay are wholly intact.  This recreates the frenetic, epic, insanely fun online experience that One and PC owners have been enjoying for ove...[Read More]

Call of Duty: Ghosts Devastation

It's time to go in again with Call of Duty DLC!  As a stand alone addition, or unlocked with a Ghosts season pass, Devastation brings us the same package format as Onslaught: four adversarial maps, a new weapon, and a fresh Extinction chapter.

Titanfall

Standby for next-gen!  From Electronic Arts and new studio Respawn Entertainment comes the hotly anticipated sci-fi first person multiplayer shooter currently available for Xbox One and PC.  While the online-centric outlook might seem like a step back in terms of pushing this much populated genre to a new level, its ideas on gameplay and action cannot be questioned, making it the quintessential ti...[Read More]

NASCAR 14

Time to rev up those virtual engines once again!  Eutechnyx is back with new publishing partner Deep Silver to bring us the 3rd installment of their brand of NASCAR to consoles.  Improvements in the handling department are shackled by overly aggressive AI and yet another disappointing online component.

Nebraska

The human condition is a curious thing.  Paramount Pictures brings us the home release of a multi Academy Award nominated work of art directed by Alexander Payne with actor Bruce Dern headlining.  Incredible photography with awesome performances creates an entry that will be revered by film analysts for years to follow.

Titanfall Beta Impressions

While the Playstation 4 and Xbox One were released in November of last year, the next generation starts in earnest this March.  Titanfall, developed by Respawn Entertainment with EA as the publisher, is set to drop on the One and PC March 11 with a port to the 360 from Bluepoint Games arriving March 25.  EA was kind enough to afford us a closed beta code early so I could experience this crazy hype...[Read More]
