Review of “Men In Black 3″

After seeing Battleship, I was desperate for a good movie. And then MIB 3 came out. The story is nice, especially considering it’s one of the few time-travel movies to have minimal plotholes. Everything ties neatly together by the end and it feels like a complete adventure. The story, put simply, is that Agent K [...]

Reviewof Sonic 4: Episode Metal

Episode Metal is a free bonus included with Episode 2, provided you bought Episode 1 back in the day on the same device. So this review will decide why you should (or shouldn’t) get both. Sound: The music is primarily the music of zones from Ep. 1, tunes which weren’t superb. On the other hand, there is [...]

Review of Sonic 4: Episode 2 (Xbox Live Arcade)

Sonic 4 comes to a close (for now) with Episode 2. But is it an improved installment with everything the fans wanted? Read on to find out!

Review of “Battleship”

You know creativity in Hollywood is running low when they start basing million dollar budget movies on Hasbro board games. Battleship is an extremely loose adaptation of the classic game, following Lieutenant Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) through what starts as a RAMPAC naval sporting events tournament and ends as an explosive battle against aliens. It [...]

Review of Playstation Vita

I’m gonna be that guy. That guy who compares the 3DS to the almighty PS Vita. You might be saying “Why, Gamerrob? Can’t Nintendo and Sony coexist in harmony?” Well, they’re both handhelds and they’re both competing on the market so no. PS Vita will get my vote for best handheld ever. Sound: Lots of [...]

Review of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare for Xbox Live Arcade

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is the Xbox exclusive title that is a spin off follow-up to the original Alan Wake. It manages to fit neatly inside the realm of cannon while not limiting the series further, and for an XBLA title it’s pretty awesome. But awesome enough for fifteen dollars? Read on to find out! [...]

Review of “The Avengers”

This movie was awesome, hands down. It was explosive, had Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), action-packed, had Thor (Chris Hemsworth), was intense, and did I mention the mothertrucking Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)? THE HULK WAS A BOSS! The plot of the movie is perfect. Cliche` bad guy (Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston) captures cliche` all powerful cube [...]

Review of “Pirates: Band of Misfits”

Honestly, I didn’t think this movie would be my cup of tea. Wallace and Gromit swapped with some pirates and fancier visuals is fine and dandy, but does it make an entertaining ninety minute adventure for all audiences? Read on to find out! The story is fitting enough: The Pirate Captain (Hugh Jackman) is on a quest [...]

Review of “Lockout”

Luc Besson tries his hand at writing a captivating and thrilling sci-fi movie, and does he succeed? Surprisingly, a little too much so. The movie is centered around a rogue agent named Snow (Guy Pearce) who’s been framed for a terrible murder. Coincidentally, the world’s first space prison has just undergone mutiny with the president’s daughter (Maggie Grace) on board, setting the [...]
