  • Big N / Sony: Blogging Holiday: MLB PP 2008 Out Today!

    Gonna take a short blogging break to play some MLB Power Pros and prepare for a wedding I have to go to this weekend. Catch you guys on the flip side.

  • Embedded Reporter: I Am Alive

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Just a quick little trailer from E3 for a multiplatform game called I Am Alive. The cool, intriguing part of the trailer is that there’s no mention of just what destroyed Chicago and word from Ubisoft is that the game will actually […]

  • Filmmakers Bleed: North by Northwest Review

    It’s time for a blast to the past today with a Hitchcock classic, North by Northwest (hereafter abbreviated as NNW). #40 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies top movie list, it’s held in high regard as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best and also is credited with being “the first James Bond film,” by some due […]

  • Game Overview: Rereleases, Ports, and Remakes

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. As you all know by now, I love Chrono Trigger. The prospect of this new port of the SNES classic to the DS has me positively salivating at the thought. It all sounds super cool […]

  • Wednesday Morning Quarterback: Light News

    You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Having spent a good portion of this last week away from televisions, I don’t have much to […]

  • Filmmakers Bleed/Idiot Box: It’s Time to Play the Music…

    Two days ago I found myself at the Smithsonian museum checking out the NEW exhibit they created dedicated to Jim Henson. With exhibits showcasing every aspect of his work, from his early commercials to his work on Sam & Friends, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and Sesame Street, it was actually a really neat showcase […]

  • Embedded Reporter: Play!

    Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Went and saw “Play! A Video Game Symphony” at the end of the last week and I have to say it was pretty cool. Some of the music didn’t do much for me :cough: Super Shinobi :cough:, but a lot of the […]

  • Big N/PC E3: The Return of a Classic

    It seems that one of my favorite PC games from way back when is about to make a return with The Humans: Meet the Ancestors. A Lemmings-style game in which you guide a tribe of cavemen to the goal, trying to have them not die, The Humans provided hours of fun for me back on […]

  • Game Overview E3: Now That’s Dedication

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. I’ve talked about how dedicated Capcom is to the old-school aesthetic of Mega Man 9, but just how dedicated are they? Below is the “boxart” for the DLC game: See More Mega Man 9 Box […]
