Treading in the slightly warm footprints of the our last Superhero game review, I have a review of the one of the more recent Marvel universe games, based on the Civil War storyline. More…

I’ve finally gotten around to playing another genre video game, after a load of non-genre games I’ve reviewed elsewhere. So, I have a review of a game that might make for fodder for the Crossover site – Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. More…

I’m going to pick my video game reviews back up with my review of the Playstation 3 version of Bioshock. Note – for the purposes of this review I won’t be playing the DLC challenge levels. More…

Yes, I realize that SDCC 2010 was last week. However, I kind of had a lot of stuff to do when I got home after the convention (I’ve only really finished unpacking just now), so now it’s time to get my notes together and let you know what happened during the con, based on my journal entries from the trip. This isn’t precisely going to be a “news” post – partially because it’s late, and partially the news stories from the con went up during the con, so you’ve probably already read them. More…

Video Game Review – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
March 23, 2010 by Alexander Case PS3, review, Video Games Games
I’m back with another video game review, and another current generation video game. It’s from last year, but it’s one that’s likely to become a Greatest Hits title at some time this year. I enjoyed the previous installment in the series, which I reviewed earlier in the year, and it set a high mark for me. The question is, does the sequel meet that mark for me? More…
Video Game Review – Prince of Persia (PS3)
February 25, 2010 by Alexander Case Prince of Persia, PS3, review, Video Games Games
A couple years ago, Ubisoft did a brief reboot to the Prince of Persia franchise–one which, from what’s been released about the next game, will probably be a one off thing. The game was criticized by some Hardcore Gamers (I feel like I put a “z” at the end of that for some reason) for being too easy, for not having enough combat. Some time has past since the game came out and now I’ve gotten my hands on it, and I’ve beaten it – the Epilogue DLC too. So, it’s time for me to give my thoughts on the definitive Prince of Persia experience. After hearing all the negative buzz, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
Note: This review includes notes on the Epilogue DLC More…
Video Game Review – Ghostbusters (PS3)
February 7, 2010 by Alexander Case Ghostbusters, PS3 Games
Last year we finally got what could best be described as the 3rd installment of the Ghostbusters series. It was written by the writers of the films, and got the original actors who played the four Ghostbusters back together. Why didn’t you see it in theaters? Because it was a video game. Now I’ve played it, so now I’m gonna review it. No, I’m not going to reference the Ghostbusters theme song in the intro.

Shades of James Dallas Egbert III! A judge has upheld the confiscation of rule-books and multi-sided dice on the grounds that D&D encourages gang activity and represents a threat to prison security.
