Resident Evil 5: Trial Run

I picked up Resident Evil 5 (PS3) a little earlier than I had expected as something of a “reward” for good financial behavior this month.  But that paradox aside, while I’m really looking forward to diving in headfirst again, apparently I have a heck of a lot of practice ahead of me because I barely [...]

Dreamwork’s Monsters vs. Aliens

Saw a 3-D showing of Dreamwork’s Monsters vs. Aliens earlier this evening with the family, and I loved it (everyone did)!  Ginormica will steal your heart, as will the rest of the cast, and it’ll definitely be a Blu-Ray purchase when it hits the store shelves.  I’ll try to fill you in with more impressions [...]

Here’s a larger version of [...]

Mike Grell’s Warlord Returns

When I was about 12-years old I sent off for a bunch of comics as a birthday present from my Mom.  They were 50-randomly packed DC Comics, and while similar collections are a dime a dozen these days, as a young whipper snapper it was like a treasure chest had arrived in my mailbox and [...]

Patapon 2: “Patta, Patta, Patta, Pon”
