*** Spoiler Alert *** This past weekend I watched Children of Men on DVD. I had seen the trailer and a 30 minute show about the making of the movie on the SciFi channel so I knew it was a movie I wanted to watch. I liked Children of Men a lot, but not for […]

Today, I thought I’d take a look at how Xbox Live Arcade did for the month of March. As I previously mentioned, the Top Thee Problems with Xbox Live Arcade are the lack of games coming out, the pricing and the number of retro games. For each of these areas I’ll take a quick look […]

The problem with Jetpac Refuelled is that it was a fun game when the original was released 24 years ago. It is nice they have both the enhanced and original versions of the game for 400 points, but it is still just another retro game. It still appeals to the same audience as all the […]

As I previously mentioned (here), BrightSpot.tv will allow you to save on your monthly GameFly.com bill. Previously they it was a $5 a month savings, but now it seems they have raised it to $10 a month. That is almost half off the two games out plan.

If you have played any of the previous games in the Tony Hawk series then you’re probably familiar with how each new one goes. For the most part, each new Tony Hawk game adds a few new gameplay elements and better graphics. Project 8’s graphics are the best for any Tony Hawk game so far, […]

*** Spoiler Alert *** I watched both The Illusionist and The Prestige in the last week, finally. Yes, I know I’m a few months late.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released on Xbox Live Arcade today. I took a few minutes on my lunch break to play it. I’d never previously played any of the Castlevania games so I thought I’d check it out. I figure, like most of the retro games that are released, the people who most […]

Amazon Unbox has been renting and selling Movies and TV shows for download on a computer for a while. They recently partnered with TiVo and added the option to download directly to your TiVo. This interests me a lot more than downloading to a computer. The only time I ever watch movies on a computer […]

A friend of mine recently told me BrightSpot.tv could save me $5 a month on my GameFly.com membership. Since I’m a tightwad I figured I’d check it out. BrightSpot.tv essentially pays you for watching advertisers’ videos. You don’t get actual cash, but instead the money you make gets credited to an account of your choice. […]
