If you don’t understand the humor behind it all, take that stick out of your ass and try again.
Quentin Tarantino, you genius, you’ve outdone yourself again. Just like Reservoir Dogs outdid Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction outdid Reservoir Dogs, this fantastic tale outdid even Pulp Fiction. And that’s saying an awful lot. Because Pulp Fiction is the shit. Yeah. Anyway, back to the review. From the very first scene of this movie right until the gripping cliffhanger at the very end, you will be …

The most kick-ass physicist since Stephen Hawking returns to take it to the man; G-man that is.
Welcome, gracious readers to my first review of a video game. And we shall start with perhaps the grandest PC game to be released in quite some time: Half Life 2. After long bated breath and wishing I wasn’t poor, I eventually acquired this game (Thanks Aaron) some 6 months after it had been released. As I finally get around to the review, it’s more than a year after …

The smallest big city ever, all in your hands
You had to see this one coming. There is hardly a game I’d want to be made portable more than a Grand Theft Auto game. And thankfully, Rockstar thought the same. How could anyone resist having their own pocket sized hooker-murder simulator?
Portable GTA! Brilliant!
This game fits the PSP so well and surprisingly runs great. Take GTA3, humorously add motorcycles to the mix, kill off the only Dodo, and add multiplayer mini-games and you’ve got a recipe for …

Who actually needs a review to convince them to see “The Matrix?”
I freakin’ love this damn movie. It’s creative, original, and well created. The Wachowski brothers hit the mark in every possible way here, from the fantastic and beautifully crafted special effects to the incredibly original plot and story line. This Sci-fi/Action flick in my opinions redefines the lines of both genres. There’s really not enough I can say about the amazing originality of this movie, I just love the idea of waking up in …

I like the RPG elements in those turn-based RPG’s, but I can’t stand the waiting involved with those games. Luckily, there is a solution to that. It’s called an Action-RPG. Yay Zelda!!! If you haven’t played a Zelda game, then shame on you. They combine the RPG elements with the ability to control the character. You get the freedom of actually wielding your weapon in a battle instead of selecting what your character does from a menu. But this review isn’t about Zelda, …

The first killer app for the PSP
So you haven’t used your PSP for gaming since Liberty City Stories, you say? Well power that baby back up and prepare for the hand cramps, because Syphon Filter Dark Mirror is here. Whether you are a fan of the series or you just enjoy good gameplay, you’ll be happy you spent the cash for this one.
Saving the world, as usual
“Surely you can’t be serious?! Little ol’ me is going to save the world?” Ok, so it isn’t exactly original. …

The original RPG. The turn-based genre. That’s what we’re talking about here. Chrono Trigger, from Square, is without a doubt one of the best RPG’s ever made. Ask any Super NES fanatic what the system’s best game is and they’ll answer immediately with Chrono Trigger. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a big fan of the turn-based RPG’s, but this is one of my favorite games of all time. The storyline is very captivating and visually this is one of the …

Being the movie that started my addiction to Luc Besson, The Fifth Element is probably his best known work. But because something is well known does not mean it is well received. This movie is often criticized as being Besson’s weakest attempt at character and plot development, especially when compared to other films such as La Femme Nikita or Leon The Professional. Though their point may be valid, I don’t believe this movie was meant to be like his others–this has the same characters we have seen many times …
