Oh Marvel Ultimate Alliance the second, I really wanted to like you. You had so much potential what with the whole Civil War thing. But that’s what it boils down to: potential. While I played I couldn’t help but think of the game I could have been playing. Sure, this gameplay has worked in the [...]
Okay folks, if you’ll just indulge me for a second here I’d like to address voice over artists in general and Eliza Dushku specifically: if you’re just going to phone it in, do us all a favour and DON’T. Better yet, if you don’t respect the medium enough to bring your A-game, turn down the [...]
Not five minutes into the game and I was already riding flying dinosaurs and doing battle with zombies and mutants (of my own creation) with a variety of weapons, both conventional and unconventional. When things got too heavy I hopped in my trusty time machine and headed back to medieval times.
If you’re a Beatles fan there’s no need to keep reading this article. You already suspect what I’m going to tell you. Rockband’s newest iteration is quite frankly a masterpiece. The experience almost transcends the game that presents it. At times it feels like the game is something that is happening to you, not something [...]
Despite impressive sales numbers, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that if you bought the Iron Man game that came out last summer to coincide with the release of Marvel Studio’s movie of the same name, you were a little disappointed. I didn’t mind the game, and still felt [...]
I realize this is a little old by internets standard time, but I just checked out Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic GamesCom 2009 presentation. It definitely left a positive impression on me but it also left me with a ton of questions: can all classes take cover, or only some? What steps are being [...]
A little bit about me is in order here before I begin: I’m a huge Batman fan. I suppose, then, that it goes without saying that I can’t help but be a little biased in a review of a Batman game. But I can also recognize a terrible fucking Batman game. And brother, this ain’t [...]
According to text that can barely be made out from the above scan (the higher rise original can be checked out at Rise of Games), we may be seeing Sony’s titular Playstation 3 driving sim by the end of this year. Apparently, this pamphlet was handed out at GamesCom 2009. An exciting development for folks [...]
EA has been pumping out sports games every year for as long as I can remember. My first experience with EA was back in ‘94 with a little game on the Genesis called NHL ‘94. Since then I have always loved EA sports games (especially the NHL series), and I have tried to play as [...]
In case you missed it when you turned on your computer every putz on the internets with a site that has ever mentioned video games is reporting that there will be a price drop on the PS3 and the Xbox360 in the future and possibly as soon as the fall. A hearty thank you to [...]
Heroes: Chapter 5: Tabula Rasa
Peter/Hiro/Emma:
After fainting in Peter’s living room last week, everybody’s favorite paramedic brings his buddy Hiro to the hospital. When Hiro wakes up he thanks Peter and tells him that now when he’s jumping through time that he is brought where he needs to go, but ever since he learned how to [...]
Every once in a while, a girl’s got to go back to her roots. Oh, sure, I’m gung-ho over Blackest Night and I always have at least one or two indie comics or comics from smaller publishing companies every week, but once upon a time, I was a one comic company kind of gal. Every [...]
You would think that the year Captain America gets to be reborn would be a good time for Marvel’s red, white, and blue avenger. Yet some fans just won’t let it happen. First there was the Rob Liefield vs. Yellow Hat Guy incident. If you missed that one some douche bag known [...]
Since announcing that an almost unknown Australian actor would be playing the title role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor, Marvel Studios has added some pretty significant players to co-star with Tom Hiddleston. First Natalie Portman was revealed to be playing Jane Foster, Thor’s mortal love interest, and now Variety is reporting that Anthony Hopkins will [...]
I’m trying out a new column here at eatsleepgeek called After the Fact. I’ve consistently read comics of some sort for the last 25 years. In that time I’ve gone through different phases, bought into fads, gone against the grain of what was popular, and had a commitment to the medium that was anywhere from [...]
After taking a look at Marron’s highly ambitious 5 part geek Halloween Costume blow out, I thought about how awesome multi-part posts are and decided to do one myself. As I’m sure you know the first month of college and NFL seasons are in the books, and the CFL is getting ready for Canada’s [...]
Well here it is better late then never I guess, so since it’s so late I’m going to talk about some of the stuff I have read in the last couple of weeks. This should have been up sooner but between working up north and packing all of my meagre belongings up for the move [...]
I don’t think that anyone was expecting this.
This November, Playboy is going to be issuing a very special issue commemorating the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons and the bombshell that is concealing her assets behind the white glossy chair is none other that the ravishing blue haired wife of Homer J. Simpson.
No more will you [...]
