Halo 4: All Hail Sparty!

How it pains me to begin the review in such context, seeing how I'm a true Blue Wolverine thick and thin. Yet, with Halo 4's most anticipated mode yet not being available until...well...today, reviewing this game without Spartan Ops makes absolutely no sense. But I'mma do it anyway. Spartan Ops is a shining revelation in …

Wreck-It-Ralph: No need blowing the dust out of this cartridge.

We thank Peter Jackson for giving up on the Halo film, for Tomb Raider, Street Fighter, Doom, and Super Mario Bros. were iconic video games that become iconic film disasters. Yet this.. is perhaps what makes Disney's latest anime entree, Wreck-It-Ralph, so appetizing. In addition to stellar voice-acting from John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman (indeed one of …

WWE ’13: Sophomore Slump? ‘Hell No’

However the game isn't without it's scoop of flaws. You see, WWE '12 is essentially what got the good ol' Reverend back to wrestling, all in a generation where being over 30 and still watching brutes in tights sing to each other is oft considered a Wal*Mart special.

MarvelNOW: Latest ‘Uncanny’ gang unafraid to hold back the Havok…

I sit by the pool sipping my super spicy Bloody Mary in beautiful and smelly New Orleans, contemplating the future of Marvel. Where do they go from here? With New York Comic Con touching upon us today, it's not surprising that Marvel's stealing headlines. Yesterday marked release of Uncanny Avengers, the eclipsing fall-out from AvX …

The Weekly Worship: Mistah J’s back, back again.. (tell a friend).

Now this is getting really sickening, Scott. Every month you've got me telling people that I've just read the best issue of Batman in years. Why can't you just stop? 'Cause the Double-S can't stop. And he won't stop. "Death in the Family" is Batman's latest crossover, and you notice how no one complains whenever there …
