True Blood Minisodes

So with less than two weeks left to go before the season three premiere of True Blood, I thought I’d post the five minisodes that HBO have released as a teaser to keep us all going till June 13th. Each short clip is around three minutes long and although they don’t give away many clues to what’s going to be in store, each is really quite entertaining and definately worth the watch. My personal favourite is the first, I love Eric’s character and his reactions to the auditions are great.

Backyard Sports: Sandlot Sluggers Review

I still reminisce every now and then about the glorious springs of my youth when baseball season would start and once our local organized little leagues were finished, my friends and I would head down to the park and play stick ball on abandoned tennis courts, wiffle ball on side streets, or home run derby on empty diamonds. Something that’s going to make me reminisce a little bit more about those days is the latest entry into the Backyard Sports series, Backyard Sports: Sandlot Sluggers.

Video Game Films: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

For a genre where the most highly regarded films are often described as the “least bad,” it is not surprising video game movies garner little praise from critics or audiences on a steady basis. This feature could be more aptly named “The Okay, The Awful, and The Horrendous.”

So why is it that film adaptations from all other sources (literature, other movies, comic books, graphic novels, television, etc) all have their masterpieces while video games have only disaster-pieces? This subject could be analyzed ad nauseum, but the most obvious fault can be found with the studios that produce the movies. Because, according to “experts,” video games are an inferior art form (if even an art form), loved only by the geek populous, so the adaptations are treated as such: trashy, low-budget schlock.

Chuck Vs. the Subway & the Ring, Part II

A rousing finale after a handful of mediocre episodes, the final installment of Chuck’s third season was All That and Then Some. Secrets were revealed, acts of unspeakable heroism were perpetrated on an unsuspecting audience and some minor silliness can be overlooked in the face of such well-orchestrated action and excitement.

Lost Planet 2 Review

A cold frigid land awaits us in the brink of the black canvas. Wait… isn’t this Lost Planet? Isn’t this EDN III? Well yeah it is, but… it’s tropical! That’s right, the second installment of the Lost Planet series takes us back to EDN III to envision a lush tropical land that was hidden under all that snow in the first one… who would’ve thought that under all that snow we’d actually find something that cool?  Well back to the point, this game has been long in the making and a couple demos have come to surface themselves from the ashes of the Capcom’s anticipated sequel to their hit multiplayer game from 2006, but the question still lingers… was the wait even worth all the hot anticipation?

Everything has had some sort of change in the past few years for the sequel. A lot is sort of an understatement since I last checked… and it really boils down to how you see everything. Some of the changes were for better, some were just downright periling and it kind of makes you want to scream in pain. I walked into the game with an open mind and wasn’t expecting too much as the first one for me was really a screwball hint of illustrious joy. I enjoyed multiplayer and was up in the air with singleplayer when I got my hands in on the first one, but I couldn’t help but be disappointed with a few elements with the first game, and they didn’t really fix it in the sequel (kind of breaks off that sequel monotony, instead of fixing problems, they just exacerbate them!).

Danica Patrick video interview about Blur

I had a chance to sit down with Indycar and NASCAR racecar driver Danica Patrick. It wasn’t to talk about the Indianapolis 500 or her transition to NASCAR or even those provocative GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercials.

If you know anything about me at this point, you know it had to be about a video game. The video game in question, in which the very lovely Danica stars as the final boss, is called Blur.

Blur is a graphically beautiful game that has the real-time damage features of games like Need for Speed combined with the multiplayer and weapon caused chaos of Mario Kart.
