Reviews

The only thing scary about this parody is how plain stupid and lame it is.

Review: Power Rangers Super Samurai strikes a low, cheap blow to the Kinect

Kinect-owning Power Rangers fans, stay away from this game.

Movie Review: Zero Dark Thirty is so much more than a "true" story

This flick isn’t impressive due to its source material; it’s impressive because it’s just a damn fine, well-made movie.

Review: DmC Devil May Cry's stylish action and stunning visuals make for the perfect reboot

This Devil May Cry revival delivers a great-looking, great-playing experience that hits all the right notes.

Review: The Roccat Apuri will make your desk look good, but for a price

Movie Review: The Last Stand – He's back, I guess

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the big screen in a largely unimpressive action film.

Movie Review: Broken City is modern noir in NYC

A good plot and some cool noir themes make this movie worth watching.

Movie Review: Mama – fairy tale horror, presented by Guillermo Del Toro

It’s not Guillermo Del Toro’s strongest film, and the special effects are kind of bad, but Mama is still a pretty decent movie.
