Videogame Releases: Week of March 25th, 2012

Dick Ward — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:00:06 +0000

It’s a rather unremarkable week for new videogame releases, unless you’re one of the very specific 3DS owners who feels affection for the similarly unremarkable Nintendo Entertainment System game ‘Kid Icarus’. I guess it’s cool if you like golf too, but let’s be honest, golf games peaked with ‘Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf’ for the Genesis....

The Netflix Stream: Week of March 18th, 2012

Dick Ward — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:00:50 +0000

The stream information from Netflix still seems to be janked up, so we might have to change the day that this regular post goes up, but there are still a few relatively new additions that absolutely need to be pointed out. ‘TED Talks’: I’m really happy to see these added to Netflix. If you’re not...

A nest of sequels and spin-offs carry the game industry this week, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We get a chance to take it to Umbrella once again, the opportunity to play as one of the world’s greatest ninjas and, of course, we get to fulfill the childhood dream of piloting a giant...

Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Netflix: Top Five

Dick Ward — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:00:51 +0000

Something is janked up with the Netflix RSS feed as of late so that no new movie information is coming through properly. I might have to revise the typical Netflix Stream posting schedule or figure out another source for information. In the meantime, I’m not going to leave you high and dry. Instead, I want...

No giant videogames come out this week, but plenty of cool niche titles do. There’s something for all tastes, or pretty much all tastes. Look, we’ve got a ton of new games, and if you can’t find one you’d want to play, you might just be too picky. Silent Hill: Downpour (360, PS3) The survival...

Videogame Releases: Week of March 4th, 2012

Dick Ward — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:00:22 +0000

If it were just ‘Mass Effect 3’, this week would be amazing enough, but there’s also so much more. Fighting game fans finally get their hands on a long-awaited crossover, and baseball fans get their pick of a few different titles. Why can’t every week be this awesome? Mass Effect 3 (360, PC, PS3) Remember...

The Netflix Stream: Week of February 26th, 2012

Brace yourselves; this is a bad one. It’s bad enough that we lost Starz this month, which killed off some of my very favorite movies. The clearly error-filled Netflix RSS feed tricked me into thinking that several really high-quality titles had been added to compensate. As it turns out, we don’t have much to show...

Videogame Releases: Week of February 26th, 2012

Dick Ward — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:00:28 +0000

A version of ‘Mortal Kombat’ that comes with all previously released DLC and a squad-based shooter from Sega make up this week’s new videogame releases. Oh, and ‘SSX’, which I could have sworn came out two weeks ago, but didn’t. Whoops. SSX (360, PS3) Looks like I was a little overexcited about ‘SSX’ and wrote...

The Netflix Stream: Week of February 19th, 2012

Dick Ward — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:00:47 +0000

When the end of the month rolls around, Netflix takes the Leonidas approach: “Give them nothing, but take from them everything!” Nothing is what we get this week. Well, that’s not entirely true. We get mainly crap and one documentary I’ve been dying to see. Leaving the Stream ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ (2/29): The loss of...

It’s time to get excited. The release of the PlayStation Vita is upon us. Also being released are a glut of launch titles, a few of which actually look pretty impressive. While already existing consoles aren’t getting anything worth talking about (an exercise in quick time events and another FPS version of a tactical PC...

The Netflix Stream: Week of February 12th, 2012

Dick Ward — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:00:27 +0000

The Netflix stream this week is a lot like my Valentine’s Day… very little action. We’re gaining a cult classic and a few sexploitations, but giving up nothing in return. All in all, it’s a pretty dull week for the stream. Entering the Stream ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll High School’: I’ll just put it out there...

Dick Ward — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:00:50 +0000

There are plenty of new videogames today for hapless nerds who are stuck inside without Valentine’s Day plans. In other words, plenty of new games for me! This week’s releases should prove interesting. Two of them are revivals of franchises that we haven’t seen in some time. SSX (360, PS3) It’s been a long time...
