The world seems obsessed with ancient times. The movie 300 hits theaters. Ubisoft creates a game called Beowulf. Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band resurrect tunes from the '80s. OK, so that last bit isn't ancient. Sue us. Soon our world's obsession with old and classic materials will take a new form. The Last Legion, which releases this week on DVD, stars Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley in a film that chronicles the fall of Rome and the birth of King Arthur's sword, Excalibur. We thought you might just want to re-live this … [Read more...]

Spyro the Dragon is a cute little dude, with small wings and a purple hue that just scream "pinch my cheeks." But cross him, and you'll be on the wrong end of a barbecue, as we've seen time and again throughout this long-lived franchise. Much like Spyro's original audience, the famed dragon has grown up, and his latest appearance deals with the resurrection of the Dark Master. Fortunately, The Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night is appearing on the very fun-loving Nintendo Wii, so it's not all doom and gloom. And we've got … [Read more...]

Up up down down left right left right B A B A Start. With that code alone, you know which game I'm talking about. The original Contra is a classic, both for that code and for its gameplay. The next game in the series, Contra 4, is smashing onto the Nintendo DS, and with the DS' two touchscreens, you can imagine how intense (and large) the action is. And yes, some bosses take up both screens. If you want to get in on the dual-screen Contra 4 action, you've come to the right place. We're giving away two copies of Contra 4 … [Read more...]

Viggo Mortensen was popular with the ladies well before The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but Peter Jackson's films based on Tolkein's books made Viggo "cool" for all the men in the house as well. Then Mortensen took on Hidalgo, another great film, before diving into the Russian mob and underworld in Eastern Promises. Eastern Promises includes what some moviegoers are calling "the best fight scene of 2007," and when Russian "enforcers" are involved in a fight scene, you've got to give such claims credence. If you're … [Read more...]
