Game Review: Alone in the Dark: Inferno (PS3)
Back at Comic Con 2008, I first heard about a game that was so realistic, and immersive they had done away with the HUD (Heads Up Display). I was told that this game draws you in so close, you can feel the horror. Alone in the Dark: Inferno is that game. This PS3 version is the “fixed” re-release of the game that was originally for XBox 360, PC, and PS2.
Alone in the Dark originated the 3D survival horror genre in 1992, and with this new release to revitalize the dated series. And please, if you’ve seen the film that was loosely based on this series, even though the Christian Slater movie was listed by the Guinness Book as the lowest grossing video game movie of all time, give this new 2008 game a chance.
Blu-ray Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princeis Warner Bros. sixth movie in the HP universe based on the best-selling books. Continuing the story from Order of the Phoenix, Harry is tasked with finding the reason for Lord Voldemort’s ability to resurrect himself after his repeated defeats. Half-Blood Prince is by far the funniest of the HP movies and sticks close to its hard bound counterpart save a few liberties taken by the screenplay writers. The Blu-ray version is a welcome addition to any fans collection and is another show case for the house that Sony built.

DVD Review: Xavier: Renegade Angel
Adult Swim has had a history of weird shows. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbilies, and Tim and Eric Show: Great Job! to name a few. But none compare to the weirdness of Xavier: Renegade Angel. This show makes little to no sense at times, and even ends with no conclusion. It’s an exercise in confusion for the most part. It seems that watching them back to back helps to make sense of the episodes. Xavier: Renegade Angel is basically about the wanderings of a deformed person trying to enlighten and save the world.
