    Dead Island: Riptide Names "Official" Zombie Couple

    Well the bride likes to pose on beds of nails, beds of blades and breathes fire. She's really awesome and I'm quite happy for her. Check out VaudeVile UK on Facebook. The family? They can shut it - they're getting freebie stuff, too. Who wants to welcome stuffy and unaccommodating people to a...

    Jimquisition: The Creepy Cull of Female Protagonists

    The big thing I did not see mentioned was if the gang behind Mass Effect ever bothered to track the trend of people choosing to play the female Shephard? I think that's data the industry could use.

    Poll: Dropping out of high school?

    Ah well. Voice of experience here. I left high school in the 9th grade because my mother died and my dad was a bus driver in another state who had gone out of his way to get custody and sent us back to live with her so he didn't have to pay child support. Also I had met this guy and I decided I...

    Should this man be punished?

    Up until the gun, the cop could have gotten away with "It was an accident, it was his fault he didn't pull over." I'd be interested in hearing the ballistics test on the gun and it's ever been used in a crime.

    Hurt Locker Producers Suing "Tens of Thousands" of Downloaders

    While this is terrible, I can see their point on this: Hurt Locker was a very gritty and grim story that did very well at Cannes and was expected to make a lot of money. HOWEVER because there is a scene where a bomb must be defused inside the body of a dead child, a lot of theaters became...

    Friends who ruin things? Or are you one?

    It's basically backlash - that level of "fed-up"ness that ends turning us away from things we might or do like. My husband actually stood in the kitchen to avoid Pulp Fiction because he heard too much about it and was dead set against watching it. Likewise I have a friend dead set against...

    Operation Darkness: Familiar faces, Scottish Werewolves and Nazi Vampires

    Operation Darkness is a very addictive Strategy game set in World War 2. Let me jump straight to the nonsense - sometimes the game does cheat. Please understand this now before you buy. Even a few walk thrus have mentioned this, so I don't feel so bad whining about it. Like most "tactics"...

    Jason Reviews Dead Space, The Only Time Where Drop-Kicking Babies is Acceptable

    So how was the story? Did they actually sew it up nice and neat or did they do the "leave it to your imagination" gambit? Or was the plot lamer than a 3 legged drunk goat?

    Silent Hill 5: Homecoming (queen's gotta a gun) - Spoiler Free

    Thanks to everyone with their feedback. I won't artificially inflate my "reply" count by replying to every comment. I'm sure that's annoying. Spacing: Oh dear god yes. I really couldn't find a way to trim it; but I DO need to do this, pretty badly. My review on Clive Barker's Jericho went the...

    Silent Hill 5: Homecoming (queen's gotta a gun) - Spoiler Free

    Ah there's this old song from the Doctor Demento Show that's been stuck in my head for a while called "The Homecoming Queen's Gotta Gun". Yeah I should have not written it at 4am. Not sure where I was going with porkchops but it cracked me up. I tend to write 3 reviews per game: Initial...

    Silent Hill 5: Homecoming (queen's gotta a gun) - Spoiler Free

    (This is a Mid-Point Spoiler free review for the XBox 360. I have not finished the game as of yet) Lemme get this part out now: It's as good as Silent Hill 3. Glitches: There are glitches in the maps - like light coming from under the walls in underground places that are suppose to be...
