Dragon Age: Origins Retro Review

With Dragon Age 2 just around the corner, it’s important to review what we know about its predecessor, Dragon Age: Origins, itself a critically-acclaimed dark fantasy epic that followed the growth of the player’s character to save the land of Ferelden from an impending evil that threatened to overwhelm all life. Since its release, Dragon Age has seen a succession of downloadable content that added side-plots to the existing quest, as well as a full-fledged expansion that takes place after the invading darkspawn army had been broken and scattered. While it uses darkspawn as a generic evil force that has yet to be fully explained or described, the races that inhabit Ferelden and the surrounding lands have unique and lush lore that is often different from the more common tropes surrounding fantasy settings.

Power Girl #21 – Review

Pulling off the ultimate disappearing act, Maxwell Lord has
erased his entire existence off of every mind on the planet – everyone except
the Justice League International. However, how will Power Girl recruit more
heroes in believing that Maxwell Lord is real, and is also a big threat? With
Generation Lost/Justice League International coming to a quick stop,
partnerships will be forged and sides will be chosen. Written by Judd Winick
and artwork by Sami Basri.

The issue opens up with Power Girl having a recap of
something that has happened in the previous issue. With the J.L.I. being the
only heroes to know of Max Lord’s existence, they need backup and get some
other, if not all, heroes to remember that Maxwell Lord is one of the most
dangerous men on Earth. Power Girl meets up with Dick Grayson and tries to
convince him that Maxwell Lord exists and that Ted Kord didn’t commit suicide. With
very little success, it turns out that every time Dick remembers who Max is, he
soon forgets the information given to him. Knowing that Dick will never grab
hold of the truth, Power Girl leaves to go get some REAL proof that Ted wasn’t
suicidal.

Film Formulas: Drive Angry 3D

Full of cars, guns and even the devil, Drive Angry 3D feels like a cinematic hodge-podge, like filmmakers/writers Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier took elements from a number of other successful films, threw them together into one script and slapped a “NEW!” label on it.

Dead Space 2 “Severed” Trailer

The day that Dead Space 2 launched, players were told that will be a DLC pack of single-player mission in the near future.  Well the future is March first, when Dead Space 2: Severed becomes available for the surprisingly reasonable price of seven dollars.  You won’t be continuing the story of Isaac Clarke, Dead Space 2’s main protagonist, but rather, you’ll play as Gabe Weller who was one of the characters from Dead Space Extraction (Which was only available on Wii and PS3).

Heroes and Quitting

When the tough times come, the hero get packing? Wait that isn’t right! Heroes are here to the very end; they will lay their life on the line for a better tomorrow that’s what makes them hero’s right? They make all the hard choices and usually get nothing in return, but why do they sometimes give in to the circumstances? While most of them can hurl lightning, or have a million dollar battle suit, or is one of the greatest symbols of hope on the planet, heroes have given in. Look at Spider-Man for instance. He has conquered if not all yet, but close to every bit of tragedy a hero can possibly have. His very first tragedy was the death of his Uncle Ben at the hands of a killer that he could have stopped. However, because of being young and selfish Spider-Man is the man born from that fateful day. Through and through, Spider-Man has battled poverty, family security, bad health, and death throughout his 49 years of creation since 1962. However why do heroes, like Spider-Man just throw in the towel and say “I quit” some time down the road?

Dracula: The Company of Monsters #7 Review

What screams Dracula to you? A lot of blood, seducing beautiful young women, stakes to the heart and crossbows, right? This comic has none of these and replaces them with little humor, no scares and a board meeting. Yes, a board meeting is exactly what I think of when I think about vampires. I expected more from a book about vampires and the direction of this issue had the potential to be interesting but came off rather dull.

In this issue we continue to follow Evan as he teams up with vampire hunter Marta to take down the vampires. The vampire Conrad is also having trouble with his business since his fellow employees want to sell his company.
