I’ve been struggling for a while now to post my Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure review, because I’ve honestly had trouble putting the darn thing down. The overall concept is the most unique technological concept to come out of the game industry in 2011: the family-friendly action RPG uses real-world toys with embedded memory chips to track […]

Chicken Little was the first movie I saw theatrically in 3D, so watching it at home via Blu-ray 3D was an oddly reminiscent experience. The story — a young chicken sees the “sky” fall but tries desperately to repress it until all alien Hell breaks loose and he can’t — does feel a bit dated,

Nintendo has the market cornered on long living video game characters, and in celebration of The Legend of Zelda’s 25th year they’ve released another excellent LoZ title with Skyward Sword. A large amount of fan service is done with this title, as it’s clearly placed before the other most loved title by fans, Ocarina of

It’s about time that the Nintendo 3DS got its killer application; Super Mario 3D Land be thy name. Sure, the revisit to the Ocarina of Time was a great title but it didn’t quite pack the punch that Super Mario 3D Land ended up having. From the moment Mario game started, the 3D effect was used

It’s a rare thing for me to be blown away by a video game, it just doesn’t happen often. Recently when it happens, it’s likely do to some story element that happens at a single particular moment which then has an effect on my perception of the entire game. Playing through El Shaddai: Ascension of

The Old West has posed a challenge for the game industry, with only Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption really doing the genre justice. Meanwhile, the Xbox Kinect has excelled at rhythm and workout games but fared only marginally well when it’s come to original motion-controlled titles. The combination of the two, then — Old West

Tangled ruled the theatrical roost for quite a while last year, continuing Disney’s run of successful non-Pixar animated films. In light of its box-office dominance, Tangled was sure to be one of Disney’s showcase Blu-ray 3D releases this spring, second only to TRON: Legacy, a Blu-ray 3D review for which we’ll publish soon. Considering Tangled’s

Portal was one of those “where the heck did this come from?” type of games when Valve shipped it as part of The Orange Box. Nothing quite like it had been done before, so reviewing Portal was a bit of a pain. Between its mix of brain-teasing puzzles, its unique physics-reliant portal gun and the
The holidays are upon us, and now so is one of the best 3D presentations yet released for a CGI film.
