I never owned a SEGA Dreamcast, so I get to come into this review with no nostalgia whatsoever for what Sonic Adventure 2 was originally like over a decade ago on the Dreamcast. Nor, prior to this, have I ever played a 3D Sonic game that I actually enjoyed (and I loved the first three Sonic games on the Genesis, with Sonic 2 being my … Continue reading Sonic Adventure 2 HD Review
Dungeon Twister is a French board game created by Christophe Boelinger. I haven’t played the board game, as it really isn’t my kind of board game (that and no one I know would play it). My experience with board games are with the simple variety; Monolopy, Sorry, Clue, Payday, etc. So my only knowledge of Dungeon Twister comes from this newly released PSN port of … Continue reading Dungeon Twister Review
Greetings everyone and welcome one more time to The Backlog. I’m a little passed my goal of getting this posted a week after the release, but it’s been a busy week. On top of that, I’m not exactly overcome with excitement to talk about Inversion, which, as you probably already noticed from the title, is the game we’ll be reviewing today. So, without further adieu, … Continue reading Inversion Review
Hello all and welcome to another edition of The Backlog. For the first time since we talked about Mass Effect what feels like ages ago, we will be venturing into the RPG world and discussing Game of Thrones. For those unfamiliar with Game of Thrones, here is a quick summary: A Game of Thrones is the first book in George R. R. Martin’s successful series … Continue reading Game of Thrones Review
Bob Longino of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution referred to this film as “…a really, really cheap knockoff of Gladiator.” I’m not usually one to agree with professional critics, but this is one of the exceptions to that rule, as this movie did have me thinking, “Damn, this is almost like Gladiator, only not as good.” The story centers around Arthur, who spends a whole five minutes … Continue reading King Arthur Review
First, let me say that I have never played a game in the BloodRayne series, and only caught about five to ten minutes of one of the movies when it came on the Sci-fy channel. It seemed like an intriguing series however, so I jumped at the chance to take a crack at this game. As expected, we play as the title character, Rayne. With … Continue reading BloodRayne: Betrayal Review
Hello everyone and welcome to the thirteenth installment in my series of reviews chronicling the James Bond film series. This time out the movie we will be taking a look at is none other than 1983’s suggestively titled ‘Octopussy’. This movie marked the sixth appearance in the James Bond role for Roger Moore, officially tying him at that point with Sean Connery for most outings … Continue reading Octopussy Review
Hello everyone and welcome to the eighth edition in my series of reviews covering the illustrious James Bond film franchise. In our review from last time we sadly waved goodbye to our fine friend and most capable comrade, Sean Connery, who served us so nobly through so many daring adventures as the one and only James Bond for the official franchise in six films dating … Continue reading Live and Let Die Review
Lair has an interesting story and some fun moments, but frustrating motion controls and uneven mission design keep it from taking flight. Two out of five stars. Continue reading Lair Review
There seems to be two basic trains of thought on this movie among the different reviews I have read. No one, at least not many that is I would say, would argue that this is a great movie, however, camp one says almost in unison that Righteous Kill is at worst a bad movie made decent by the two greatest living actors of theirs or … Continue reading Righteous Kill Review
William reviews Public Enemies (2009). Johnny Depp becomes John Dillinger completely, but Michael Mann somehow turns one of history’s most exciting criminals into a sleep aid. Continue reading Public Enemies Review
