Comic Book Review: Secret Invasion Fantastic Four #1

Of course the Fantastic Four Secret Invasion crossover books have to be a seperate mini-series instead of being inside of the regular Fantastic Four series so I had to go to the comic shop to pick this up. It’s interesting how what they are doing in this book, and what they are doing in Fantastic Four #556 are completely different. That’s some continuity they’ve got going.

Spoilers after the break.

Why Will Smith Is Probably Going to Suck (In) Hancock

A little over a decade ago, a script started floating around Hollywood entitled Tonight, He Comes about a superhero named Hancock who is the last of his kind in the middle of a PR nightmare. Now, we approach opening day for Hancock, which is set to star Will Smith, and expects to be a contender for the Superhero summer blockbuster, duking it out with Iron Man, which totally blew me away, and The Dark Knight, which you all know I can’t wait to see.

I would, however, love to wait to see Hancock. Actually, I’d love to wait forever - because it looks to me like the movie is going to suck. Read on why after the break.

Double Video Game Review - “Call It” (PC) and “Paper, Scissors, Stone” (PC)

For this post I will be doing a double video game review but I must admit that my main reason for tackling both games at once is because of their simple and similar nature. Now when I say simple, that is by no means exaggeration. These games make Pong look like Metal Gear Solid.

Captain America’s Shield Makes Cameo in Iron Man?

Movie news site FirstShowing.net has noticed that in a scene from Iron Man what looks like Captain America’s shield can be seen on Tony Stark’s workbench.  Is it just a coincidence that the things on the desk look like Cap’s shield or was it purposely put there to further tie Marvel’s movies together?

Anti-Venom Doesn’t Look Like He’s Very Nice

Amazing Spider-Man #568 is allegedly going to present a new villain, named “Anti-venom.”

Video Game Review - MacBlaster (PC)

Long before Mac started producing its idiotic “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” commercials Windows had a smear campaign of its own. In 1992 a shareware Windows game was released entitled “MacBlaster”. Given the context of the sentences above it should be pretty easy to guess what this game is all about.

Oh Sonic 3, Where Art Thou?

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 have been on Xbox Live Arcade for quite some time now. Don’t get me wrong, I love them, but I’m growing a little tired just playing the first two over and over. I’m really itching to play Sonic the Hedgehog 3 again and I’m too lazy to get out my Genesis to do so.

New Dark Knight Trailer Has More Than Smiles

The new Dark Knight trailer, which hit the internet earlier in the week, has been scoured by fans ever since it became available for download at this site. I’m not claiming to have found anything anyone else hasn’t found, but I thought the Two-Face pic above deserved to be pointed out. Notice the scarring on the hidden side of his face, and the funky-looking suit.

Box Set Review – Sonic The Hedgehog “SatAM” (Shout Factory)

When I first learned that the Sonic The Hedgehog animated series (also known as SatAM) would be getting a full box set treatment I was thrilled. I like many so many other fans had been waiting for DiC’s second Sonic animated series to get a proper box set treatment as it is a fantastic animation achievement worthy of such a release.

Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition Actually Worth It

Now usually I stray away from the special editions of games, mainly because I don’t want to pay extra for a GTA4 lock box or a Ninja Gaiden stylus. The collector’s edition for Fallout 3, however, seems to come with things that are actually good.
