Summoner for Playstation 2 was a system launch title that should not have been released. Seriously, I spent $5.00 USD too much on this game. They should have had to pay me $5.00 USD to take it from them. The game features some major problems. The first one is the load time. Scenes take from 15 to 30 second to load. Half a minute! Think of waiting that long for one wilderness encounter or going...

Movie Review: Hellboy 2: The Golden Army Hellboy 2: The Golden Army is a rare comic book movie sequel that actually delivers. Graphically, the CG is stunning again, but that is not all. The settings are about perfect. Like when they take on the army of golden golems, the original forger of the golems leads them into a volcano-like structure with tons of golden gears. (This reminds me of the Greek...

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs is an interesting feature length film of Futurama. I suppose if The Simpsons get a movie, Matt Groening decided Futurama deserved the same treatment (well except for that direct to DVD slap in the face of Fry and the gang…) It is about four episodes of Futurama made into a whole movie, which is what The Simpsons Movie also felt like. This is actually the...

Nuts and Bolts is a Fifth Dawn Theme Deck that combines cheap equipment and artifacts costing 1 or less mana with creatures and artifacts that can cheaply get them from the library or graveyard. Plus it features everybody’s favorite Banned uncommon, Skullclamp! Lands (23) 12 Plains and 7 Islands, and 2 x Ancient Den and 2 x Seat of Synod. Ancient Den and Seat of Synod are W and U Artifact Lands...

Special Forces is a Fifth Dawn Theme Deck that combines specialist attackers and defenders with equipment to cover their weaknesses and the blue mechanic of power/toughness switch to make attackers into defenders and vice versa. The deck does not work out too well half the time since the high power creatures have low toughness and are easy to remove, but the deck is devastating when it gets high...

Stampede is a Fifth Dawn Theme Deck that combines red and green burn and beatdown with some scry. There are some minor creature themes like beast and shaman as well. Lands (23) 12 Mountains and 11 Forests. Self-explanatory. Creatures (26) The creature count feels about right, and most of the mana slots are utilized. The only problem is a lack of one drops. In fact, the only one drop is Spark...

In this last installment, we present the Kratas Character Codex --a massive PDF featuring the game statistics of dozens of gamemaster characters featured in the sourcebook: simple thieves, greedy merchants and vicious gangmembers. The Kratas Character Codex is offering...

Shutter is a movie that simply believes in style over substance. Along the way, it forgets that it was made out to be some kind of Horror movie in the previews. The supposedly most scary moments? All in the previews. Worse, the pacing is just god awful. The first hour of the movie crawls to the last forty-five minutes where stuff actually happens. They could have easily left twenty to thirty minutes...

Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter for Playstation 2 did what not even Breath of Fire III's Desert scene could do, end the Breath of Fire series. The plot of the game is that you are in some sort of post-apocalyptic underground situation ala Starblazers. Your basic goal is to get to the surface from the lowest levels driven by Nina's dying from the pollution in the underground and Ryu's mysterious...

All three books are entwined, with the fates of House Atreides, Harkonnen, and Corrino all held in the balance. The Atreides and Harkonnen feud reaches a fever pitch just before all-out war in the original Dune and we get to watch it all unfold. The Corrino Emperors hatch a plan...
