Video Game Review: Thor God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier

On Friday I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at two eagerly awaited games for geeks everywhere. Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier. All brought to you by a corner stone of the gaming industry Sega. We all got a glimpse of both games last year at New York Comic Con. However this Friday I was able to actually try my hand at both games on each system.

DS Game Review: Hop: The Movie Game

 


 

Hop: The Movie Game is based off of Universal Pictures CG/live action family-friendly comedy Hop, which hit theaters on April 1st.  It is as adorable as cute games featuring drum playing bunnies and evil chicks can be and would be a great addition to any child’s Easter basket this season.

TV Review: Supernatural – “Frontierland”

Written by Kroze Kresky

During the third season of Supernatural, head show-runner Eric Kripke started plotting out a spinoff to his hit series, while delving deep into his own mythos – chronicling the adventures of the first Hunter, Samuel Colt. Kripke felt there was so much that could be done with a Supernatural series set in the old wild west, bringing about a new feel to the genre.

Now here we are, three whole seasons later, and fans finally get a glimpse of Kripke’s vision as Sam and Dean do a little bit of time traveling back to the old days in order to find and hunt a phoenix.

TV Review: Smallville – “Booster”

Booster Gold and the Blue Beetle make their first apperances on Smallville in tonight’s episode “Booster”.

Geoff Johns returns to Smallville and has once again produced gold (pun intended), this time bringing Booster Gold to life in all of his scene stealing glory. Played by Eric Martsolf, Booster appears in a NASCAR-esque costume, complete with marketing patches.

Booster’s presence in Smallville helps to push Clark into realizing how important his visibility will be once he steps into the light, and how the citizens of Metropolis might react to seeing their hero in the flesh.

DVD Review: After Dark Originals Husk

by Karl Madsen, ComicsOnline.com



The indians call it maize.


Vacations and horror go together like unicorns and glitter. Usually the horror starts with the vacation. And usually the horror starts because the vacationers do something illegal, erotic, silly, or downright stupid. And sometimes the horror starts before the festivities begin, and anyone has the chance to be a bonehead.


In the After Dark Originals film Husk, five friends, Scott (Devon Graye – Dexter), Chris (C.J.

Drunken Geek TV Review: Hellcats – “Woke Up Dead”

In April of 2011, ComicsOnline.com gave site reviewer Erin Hatch a mission: Watch screening dvds for several upcoming shows. Tormented by the assignment, the man turned to drinking and disappeared from the face of the earth. One week later, a tattered journal appeared on the doorstep of Senior Media Editor, Matt Sernaker.
