All reviewsNeed for Speed2015
3 out of 5 starsLet's be real, Burnout Paradise came out in 2008 and it is still the undisputed greatest open-world racing game of all time. Need for Speed 2015 doesn't change that. It doesn't even come close. Criterion, the developers who made Burnout Paradise were bought up by EA some years back and made Need For Speed: Most Wanted in 2012 which came closer to recapturing that old magic than this new game does. But Criterion…

X-Men Origins: Wolverine2009
4 out of 5 starsAdaptations of movies into video games have always been hit or miss (mostly miss). Which is why it's always a massive shock when a game based on a movie can come along and have the audacity to be good. Gamers were floored after playing The Chronicles of Riddick, GoldenEye 007 or even Aladdin for the Super Nintendo. Now, add to that list X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the video game based on the 2009 summer blockbuster of…
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince2009
3 out of 5 starsSince the days of E.T. movie-based video games have been known for one thing above all others: sucking. Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince is not without merit, but given the nature of interactive entertainment and the fact that it is not uncommon for a game to provide 40+ hours of gameplay, it is baffling that Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince doesn't borrow more from the 800 page novel on which it is based…

Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth Book Review
Jul 17, 2016
Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth is an interesting case study in multimedia franchises gone wrong. Based on the popular, critically-acclaimed Uncharted video game series, Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth is the one and only tie-in novel and follows the hero of the video game series Nathan Drake and his partner Victor Sullivan on another adventure that takes place between Uncharted 2 and 3 (althou...
8 Things You Need To Know About Backup and Restore on PS3
Sep 15, 2012
Originally published on Neopologist.com I am religious about backing up my data. If a device lives under my roof and it has a hard drive it gets backed up once a week, with an offsite backup at least once a month. I've been a Playstation 3 owner since 2008 and shortly after I bought my shiny new toy a friend of mine suffered a hardware failure on his own PS3. This served as a cautionary tale an...
Music Found: Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles
Apr 9, 2010
Back in 2004 a relatively unknown hip hop producer came up with a mixtape that combined Jay-Z's seminal (and supposedly final) album, The Black Album with The Beatles' classic 'white' album. The mixture went beyond the simplistic crossfading of normal mash-ups in that Dangermouse sampled and re-invented the instrumentation of the Beatles record to create new tracks for Jay-Z's a capellas. The r...
The worst Game I've played this year...
Dec 9, 2009
The worst game I played this year was probably The Transformers (PS2) game from 2004ish. I was kind of bummed because I really wanted to play it when it came out and it got decent, not great, reviews. But suffice to say that game did not withstand the test of time. I made it to the second "zone" and threw in the towel. It just wasn't any fun, but I really wanted to like it. As far as new games...
Should You Discover Uncharted?
Oct 27, 2009
With the release of Uncharted 2 just a few short weeks ago, I would imagine many people who missed out on playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are wondering if they should go back and give it a try before playing the hotly anticipated sequel. The answer yeah, kind of, at least for a little bit. Before, I continue, let me just state, unequivocally that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a breathtaking...
