It's kinda crazy to look back and think that it's been twelve years since the most definitive crime game ever made for its time graced the PS2. Grand Theft Auto III changed all the rules when it came to free-roaming sandbox action, and even though going back doesn't quite have the same effect, our memories remain true to how amazing of an ( Read more... )

Saints Row has seen quite a bit of evolution since the original in August 2006. That's right, this franchise is seven years old... I'll let that sink in.

The first two games stuck to their roots pretty well, portraying a GTA: San Andreas style gangsta theme, but with a huge mass of extreme comedy, absurdly-written stories and characters, and ( Read more... )

Change can be good. It WAS good almost eight years ago when Capcom delivered one of the most badass sequels to this once marvelous franchise: Resident Evil 4. Almost everything about it was improved to the point where even though it was a completely different play-style, the atmosphere, suspense and overall mood still fit right at home with its ( Read more... )

Borderlands wasn't a huge of a thing for me when it first came out. In fact, I didn't even start playing the original until about three months after it released, and even THEN I played it because a coworker hassled me to. Needless to say, I was pretty entertained with it. It had a certain level of charm to it, and I could easily understand why ( Read more... )

I've never played any of the True Crime games back in the PS2/XBOX days, nor was I really aware of the series' death a couple years back. Apparently True Crime: Hong Kong had been axed by Activision, and Square Enix picked up the rights almost immediately and transformed it into Sleeping DogsTo be honest, I wasn't all that excited for it. I mean ( Read more... )

I'm an old-school Star Wars nerd. I grew up with it in the 80s, and never stopped loving it. Even though I gripe about the prequels immensely, a part of me still loves the world Lucas introduced us to. I'm glad video games and fan-fic novels exist, because it often proves that other people can create better stories with the universe. :D ( Read more... )

Enough lolly-gagging!

Ever watch a movie that makes you wish you could hunt the actor/director down and violently shove them down a flight of stairs? Or throw them screaming from a helicopter? Or just grind their face on a running belt-sander?

Okay, time to finish this shitload of fuck.

Almost there! Though I'm sure many of you have been wondering if this was ever going to hit my list ( Read more... )

I knew my hatred for Armageddon would generate some debate. I have friends who think it's a great brainless popcorn-muncher of a flick, so it's an argument I'm all too familiar with ( Read more... )

Good God... I just finished typing this out, and my mind is blown. This is probably the longest movie review I've ever written here on my LJ... o_o;

Behind this cut is that other one that was "far too long" for me to group movies 3,4, and 5 in one post. What could I possibly hate more than Batman & Robin?! To think there are three more to go ( Read more... )
