Here’s some news and rants, while you’re driving that Elephant: First Impression – The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass While it’s a very fine game, Windwaker was not my favorite Zelda game. I never had a problem with the gameplay, but the combo of the… Continue reading

The fests keep playing, which would seem to be where all the interesting movies are at, but nowadays October is just a likely to house a winner as loser. But more on that in a minute.DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACKIsn’t it funny how the Farrelly brothers spent ten… Continue reading
The new Iron Man teaser poster just looks like a Transformers 2 poster. It's like someone at Paramount is just recycling ideas – did the design guy really want to get home early and beat all the traffic on the highway? I would like to donate a concept to… Continue reading

I've been waiting for a good, creepy game for my little DS. Resident Evil didn't exactly fit the bill (I'll be damned if I'd buy that game for the 6th time or whatever it was) and I was a little worried that the underpowered system couldn't fit the visuals to… Continue reading
Is Will Ferrell naked with a goofy wig still funny after all these years? New Line hopes so – that's the entire premise of the teaser trailer for Semi-Pro, Ferrell's new comedy set in the world of 70s basketball. I think they set it in the 70s so that it… Continue reading
