Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Review

I finished up Mercenaries 2: World in Flames earlier this week. The save system was annoying and the load times were pretty long, but overall I enjoyed it. Mostly because you can blow up almost everything in the game’s world. One thing that did help was installing the game to the hard drive on the […]

Babylon A.D. DVD Impressions

I watched Babylon A.D. today on DVD and was not very impressed. There were some decent action scenes and while that generally is enough for me to like a movie they were to few and far between. There is just not enough action to carry the plot. Or, really the lack there of. It is […]

Free Video Game Rentals

I know that I’m frequently mentioning how much I love GameFly and how they save me a lot of money on video games. However, there are other options out there. Even free options. I can only vouch for this in San Diego County California, but there is a way to rent video games for free. […]

Mirror’s Edge Review

Back in November I played the Mirror’s Edge demo and and really enjoyed it. I finally got around to playing the full game last weekend. I finished the whole thing in 2 days because it has 9 levels and takes about 6 hours to complete. I loved the first 5 or 6 levels, but the […]

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Impressions

Last night I watched the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog DVD. I is probably the funniest thing I watched in months. I was almost crying at some points because it is so funny. Plus, it is funny without the characters being overly jokey. My wife watched it with me and also enjoyed it but probably not […]
