As long as there's a Space Chess level where you can rip the arms off your oponents if you lose.

As a member of the Poker Players Alliance that Senator D'Amato is pushing to legalize online poker, I'm firmly in favor of legalzing online gambling, especially poker. One of the most ridiculous reasons given for enforcing and trying to stop online poker in America was because of a fear that...

I always enjoy Penn & Teller: Bullshit! and this episode in particular is a lot of fun. Calls out a bunch of the hypocrisy of the group, but doesn't come across as too preachy or up its own ass. The group's idea that animals should be treated fairly is noble, but the attitude and actions...

I don't see any problem with the idea, but any time I've gone into a 7-11 and see crap DVDs for sale that run $25/apiece, I don't see it as a place for great deals. Definitely curious to see how it pans out though.

Scary obsessive? Absolutely. Definitely makes for entertaining viewing though. Would definitely recommend you look into both, but in a toss-up, would lean towards King of Kong.

Solid review as always, though must confess I was rooting for "Crash" to take the Oscar that year. The talk of the film lacking subtlety in its message is definitely true, but the same could be said for "Munich" and "Brokeback" in my opinion. 100% agreed about "Good Night and Good Luck,"...

High Score is a 2006 documentary that follows Bill Carlton's attempt to break Missile Command's 25 year old high score held by Victor Ali. The Missile Command record is not only one of skill, but endurance and self-loathing. When Ali set his record of 80,364,995, it took an estimated 60 hours...

Kind of funny that ski areas seem to always have top notch breweries around them(nothing to do without snow except drink, lol). Long Trail and Magic Hat in Vermont are two great American breweries that you can tour, sample, and have lunch at. Magic Hat Circus Boy is my favorite beer for the...

I think they'd be better suited if they had a clicker or counter somewhere so you could have a more accurate idea of how close or far away he is from the high score. Watched for a little, hoping he breaks the record because he's never getting this time back.

Agreed, stopping the sky-walking and glitching would be enough to satisfy; though I certainly wouldn't say no to all of the cool updates.

Enjoyable review, and color me 4 stars for my nostalgia tinted glasses. What a great game when it came out, with a really interesting variety of weapons for the time. Just like Goldeneye and the near-universal "No Oddjob" rule, fondly remember summer nights playing for all hours with "No...

It's been said a few times before, but a lot of it depends on the particular title. If the game is balanced and offers a lot of different styles, I like to mix it up. If play is broken and the AI can basically "cheap" you into submission, I generally stick to characters that can counter-act that.

Zooey will willingly volunteer to die because she's sick of having an old man, a skinhead, and Urkel running train on her.

Solid review as always, my only complaint is that I feel that the Escapist is actively trying to cause me problems at work with these damned pop-out video views that don't close easily.

Quite possibly the biggest douche in the universe; loved that he was just a hanger-on and Wiebe beat him to FunSpot's first kill screen.
