Video Game Review – WCW Backstage Assault (PS1)

Wrestling games should be simple. You get some wrestlers in a ring and have them fight it out. WCW Backstage Assault breaks that formula. It is a game in which wrestlers fight in backstage areas. No ring is present.

Cast of the Avengers Movie Feels Like It’s Missing Something

When I saw the confirmed list of actors and the characters they will be portraying in the upcoming Avengers film I couldn’t help but feel that the team seems rather strange to me.  Of course there is the obvious fact that Nick Fury and the Black Widow aren’t members of the Avengers, which is explained in the movies as the Avengers being a SHIELD project, but I don’t think that’s it.  It could also be the absence of Ant-Man and Wasp, but I don’t think it’s that either.  I think what bugs me about the ensemble is the lack of female characters in the group.

Over at BloodyDisgusting.com they have a few pictures they took of AMC’s booth for the upcoming TV series Walking Dead, based on the zombie comic by Robert Kirkman.  The booth seems to be a recreation of some sort of violent zombie apocalypse scenario.  What I want to know is if this is representative of the level of violence the show is going to exhibit.  Hop on over to check them out for yourself.

In an article oddly timestamped April 30, 2009 as of my writing this, Yahoo! has revealed what it claims to be an exclusive look at some new posters for the upcoming Captain America and Thor films.  The new posters are going to be distributed at Comic-Con this weekend, and attendees will have the chance for the actors to sign them.  As of now not much has been seen of what Captain America is going to look like in his upcoming film.  I recommend checking out their website for a look at both posters and clicking past the break where I scrimshawed some words of my own about the posters.

Video Game Review – Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (PS2)

If you owned an Nintendo 64 then it’d likely you’ve heard of GoldenEye 007. Released in 1997, the game was groundbreaking and to this day holds up in the quality department. The game never had a sequel in the strictest sense. Video game company Rare, the makers of GoldenEye, released a spiritual sequel with Perfect Dark. The game was built on the same engine but featured new, original characters.

No one really expected another GoldenEye to me made. But then in 2004 GoldenEye: Rogue Agent saw release. It’s title is deceptive in that it has nothing to do with the movie GoldenEye or the N64 game.

Video Game Review – That’s So Raven (GBA)

There is no reason I should like this game. I didn’t watch That’s So Raven. I don’t really like Disney. The game was bought for my sister. She didn’t really watch the show either. Why on earth do I own have this game?

I don’t know the answer, but the fact remains I do. And despite a sincere indifference to this game I find a sliver of charm to it.

Video Game Review – WWE Crush Hour (PS2)

To call WWE Crush Hour strange is an understatement. It is easily one of the most bizarre video games to use the official WWE license. It’s a demolition derby game in which wrestlers drive weapon stocked vehicles around in an attempt to kill each other.

Singularity is a first-person shooter developed by Raven Software and published by Activision that was released recently for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.  It combines elements of other established games and adds a few interesting devices of its own to make a fresh, enjoyable gaming experience that is well worth your time.  You could stop reading right now since you already know I approve of it, or you could continue on past the break to find out why exactly this game is good (and for my award winning humor as well).

Turns Out Batman Was Spider-Man This Whole Time

Found this on Geekologie.com earlier and felt it was worth sharing.  Seems that Batman’s origin isn’t as simple as once thought based on the back of this foreign toy.  Try not to be eating or drinking something while reading this or you may choke while laughing out loud.  But seriously, I really wish “Doctor Jackstraw, The Abnormal Drug Trafficker” was an actual Batman villain.
