One look at the cover of Exploded Drawing should give you some idea of what to expect. This album is like a Chinese dragon meandering through a parade of fireworks. It is at times beautiful and sly, and other times harsh and direct. At times it is abrasive, lo-fi, and noisy, but it can quickly [...]
Fallout 3I have been anticipating this game for years. The first two Fallouts are amazing examples of creativity and freedom, and I have been waiting for a sequel since finishing Fallout 2 in 1999. Unfortunately, Black Isle Studios was shutdown by Interplay after going bankrupt in 2003, and the third installment was left incomplete. [...]
Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force - Planet RockAfrika Bambaataa started a revolution. “Rappers Delight” performed by The Sugarhill Gang in the late 1970’s established early rap/hip-hop. This song created a beat and rhythm that would be used by almost every rap artist until the mid 1980’s. Bambaataa’s 1986 album Planet Rock was the next step in the evolution of [...]
CrushCrush is one of those PSP games that many people aren’t going to automatically associate with the portable, and that is a shame. Crush is the type of original game types that the PSP needs more of. It’s an interesting mix of 3D platforming mixed with puzzle solving in a 2-dimensional plane.
To explain Crush is [...]
Bender’s Game is the 3rd Futurama DVD movie released since the series was officially brought back for 4 direct-to-DVD movies. And while each movie has been different in what it has brought to the table, I think this is by far the funniest movie of the lot to date.
This Futurama movie is pretty heavy on [...]
The Star Wars franchise has a history of some of the most exciting and high-profile games. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, of course, follows this pattern. Being announced for every system available and promising an awesome new physics engine (for the 360 and PS3), the hype for The Force Unleashed was off the charts. Does [...]
Eastern State Penitentiary - Terror Behind the WallsEastern State is a historic prison which is possibly most known for housing Al Capone for a brief while. It was abandoned back in the 1970s and is now believed to be haunted. You may have seen it on television, as it’s been featured on The Travel Channel’s “Most Haunted Locations” and MTVs [...]
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark BrotherhoodSonic and his rag tag pals have the adventure thing down. Whether it be side scrolling or 3D, Sonic games have a simple formula: speed = fun. However, that formula has gotten stale. Since the fall of the Dreamcast, Sega has been creating Sonic titles at a steady rate. The luster [...]
Ninja Gaiden IINinja Gaiden started out on consoles on the NES as a game requiring skill, reflexes, memorization, and most of all, patience. While it could be very unforgiving at some points (flying birds anyone?), the game was always balanced and fair enough that the end of each level was never quite out of reach. Ninja Gaiden [...]
Castle CrashersIn 2004, a little development team by the name of The Behemoth released a little flash game called Alien Hominid. Eventually it was made into a full fledged game and released on GameCube and PS2. Featuring cartoon styled 2D graphics and classic run-n-gun game play, The Behemoth created a gem of nostalgia and humor.
Here we [...]
