This year, we are finally starting up the 8th generation console wars. Nintendo started it with the release of the Wii U. Sony and Microsoft are joining the war later this year with the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, respectively. For some gamers, they think it was about time and the 7th generation should have…
So far, Kick-Ass 2 looks pretty good and may actually surpass the first movie with kick-assery (that’s a word, right?). The new trailer shows Hit Girl training Kick-Ass regarding how to deal with guns as well as Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s character assembling his (stereotyped) gang of super-villians Here’s the trailer… which is filled with profanity and…
It’s hard to deny the legacy of the Resident Evil. Sure, there was Alone in the Dark and even the first Clock Tower. But horror games weren’t popular and not on anyone’s radar. Then the first Resident Evil was released on the original Playstation and that all changed. It even coined a new type of genre:…
The Evolution 2013 (EVO 2K13 for short) fighting game tournament happened over the weekend. And, honestly, this was probably one of the best tournaments so far. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, EVO is a gaming tournament that exclusively features fighting games. While there are other smaller tournaments out there, EVO…

Still, when it was announced that the next version of Namco Bandai’s hit fighting series was going to be available for free, I was excited. Imagine being able to play a good fighting game… for…
Remember the 80’s? Yeah, I know I’m dating myself by saying that but the 80’s was actually a great time to be a kid. Not a geek. A kid. One of those reasons was the numerous cartoons that were showing during this time. He-Man. GI Joe. Transformers. MASK. Thundercats. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That’s just from…
When I was young, there were two specific dates that I was waiting for. The first being 1999 and the second was the year 2005. The former would be the year when the SDF-1 would crash into the South Ataria Island, which would launch the events of the Macross saga. The latter year would be…
Even though being a geek is kind of “cool” at this point in time, I find it hard to believe I still have to defend my geeky pastimes to a lot of people. Right now, my main hobby is playing video games. I do have a pretty healthy interest in toys, movies, sci-fi, fantasy, comics…
While the two of them had starred together in the second Expendables film, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger haven’t been in a movie as the primary stars. That is, until Escape Plan.
