Building upon the strengths inherent in their previous RAT 7 design, which I had previously reviewed (and am still using to this day), the ultra-customizable MMO7 improves on the original in many ways. There are a few drawbacks to trying to pack in so many options, though. The build quality is nearly identical to the RAT 7, which… Continue reading
In February, one of the best comic book movies ever made quietly appeared in movie theaters, did modestly well and then disappeared. “Chronicle” comes out on DVD and Blu-ray today, and while it doesn’t have a marquee name involved such as Captain America or Batman, it deserves the attention of all comic book fans. While… Continue reading
Ketzal’s Corridors brings to the 3DS a reason for me to stop playing Pushmo for awhile. Though I never thought it would happen. The basic premise of KZ may sound simple, but there is an elegance to it that belies the simplicity. You control geometric blocks as they fly though variously shaped holes in an ever… Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve done a video game giveaway, so here you go. This week, Sony released the PlayStation 3-exclusive “Starhawk” from LightBox Interactive, the folks who did “Warhawk.” The shooter allows gamers to alter the battlefield by calling down buildings, vehicles or artillery from an orbiting ship. Play solo or with up… Continue reading
Anime is a genre that appeals to all ages, so teenagers have always been a powerful force in its popularity over the years. The best evidence of that comes this weekend with Anime-Park, a convention coming up this Saturday at Canton High School. Jeff Middleton, the convention chairman and a senior at Plymouth High School,… Continue reading
I love the Warner Archive Collection . And when I win the lottery, I’ll be spending a lot of money there because that’s the place to go for obscure and vintage Hanna-Barbera cartoons, plus a few others now owned by Warner Bros. Along with “Johnny Quest” and “The Jetsons,” they’ve got “Funky Phantom,” “Goober and the Ghost Chasers,”… Continue reading
I don’t do music here very often, but sometimes the mood strikes, and the theater geek in me comes out. Here are a couple CDs I’ve been listening to lately. “Liza Minnelli: Live at the Winter Garden” comes out this week. “The Trumpet of the Swan” has been out for a while, but I just… Continue reading
Sorry, I can’t make it an all-comic book week (don’t forget tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day ). Cartoon Network has dipped into the live-action world again with its new series “Level Up,” in which a fantasy MMO encroaches on the real world, and it’s up to a group of players to keep the world safe. This week, “Level… Continue reading
Well, the second wave of DC’s New 52 launched yesterday with six new titles . I grabbed two of them. (I requested them, but review copies weren’t provided, just the Free Comic Book Day preview.) The first one I read was “Earth 2″ by James Robinson, with art by Nicola Scott. I can’t say I’ve followed him regularly, but I loved… Continue reading
If I could play “Teen Boat” in the lottery, I would. A couple weekends ago, I cleaned up and reorganized my comic collection. I bagged and boxed lots of comics I had left lying in stacks around the house (I know, bad geek!) and put them all on a shiny new shelving unit. While going… Continue reading
