Dragon Ball XenoVerse Review

The premise of the game is both interesting, and plays it very safe. Once this is done, its off into the story. Theres a PvP arena, as well as a postal service, which lets you send and receive gifts. Theres also a typical MMO-style chat and emote system. Theres nothing all that innovative here, but thats not really the point. With fights this hectic, a good camera is essential, and its here whereXenoVersecould go horribly wrong....

The best non-Muppets Jim Henson Company productions

Abstract short films, underappreciated Christmas specials, and the first “scratch and sniff” crime drama? They’re all Henson productions… As the man behind The Muppets, Henson became almost as famous as his creations. But The Muppets are far from Hensons only interesting work. Working both with and without puppets, Henson made or oversaw some truly brilliant non-Muppets movies. The short was eventually nominated for an Oscar. Nowhere is this more obvious than this one-off drama made for NBC....

Agent Carter Finale Review: Valediction

Here’s Marc’s review. ThisAgent Carterreview contains spoilers. Thats how much I lovedAgent Carter. Ad content continues below This week saw Peggys first TV adventure come to a close. Like Steve Rogers, she now lives a life where it is the mission that comes first. So how did it all go down? Stark knew that he was Ivchenkos target all along so he offered himself up as bait. Dottie and Ivchenko totally played the SSR and snatched Stark rather easily after a faux assassination attempt....

Dragon Ball Xenoverse PlayStation 4 review

Dragon Ball’s frantic action makes its current gen debut, but can it like the loyal DB following? TheDragon Ballanime is just perfect for the fighting genre of videogames. The premise of the game is both interesting, and plays it very safe. Once this is done, its off into the story. Theres a PvP arena, as well as a postal service, which lets you send and receive gifts.

Justified: Alive Day review

Justified continues to keep the audience and its characters guessing in “Alive Day.” Here’s Kendall’s review… ThisJustifiedreview contains spoilers. I hate to interrupt what I hope was a touching reunion. Boyd Crowder Avery Markham cant be trusted, and trusts those closest to him far less. Its interesting that he doesnt have a bodyguard shadowing him at all times. Tonights episode is entitled Alive Day, which makes sense on several levels....

Octopussy: the James Bond videogame that never was

James Bond should have made his videogame debut with an Octopussy tie-in, but then it mysteriously disappeared… The year 1983 saw James Bond seemingly at war with himself. Octopussyshould, in fact, have marked James Bonds first foray into a new medium: videogames. Then it simply vanished. Parker was clearly prepared to give the game a big marketing push.

The Black Hood #1 (Archie Comics) Review

(Slight spoilers within). Complimenting his gritty and unforgiving style is Michael Gaydos naturalistic art. Gaydos draws Hettinger with a brutality that complements the characters own feelings of ugliness both superficially and internally. His Philadelphia is one rich with shadows and emptiness. Its a place where the American Dream hasnt so much died as suddenly evaporated out of existence. His photo-realistic backgrounds of the citys decay are doing the tourism board no favors, believe me....
