TV Review: The Walking Dead – “Nebraska”
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
The Walking Dead finally returns to AMC tonight (after its gun smoking cliffhanger a few months back) with a brand new episode “Nebraska”. After the loss of Sophie, everyone at Herschel’s farm is not in the best of moods when this episode picks up. Rick and our crew of survivors are immedately told to leave the farm by Herschel, who blames Rick for everything that has befallen his family so far. Now the two crews must learn to deal with each other’s presences despite their grievances.
Video Game Review: Gears of War 3 DLC
“Basically… RUN!”
by Karissa Barrows, Reviewer
Okay. So, I know that the game itself has been out for quite a while now, but the four downloadable content (DLC) installments only just finished complete release, the final of which was the Fenix Rising pack. I’ve talked to several friends and fellow fans who are unsure as to whether or not they should buy the Season Pass or any individual DLC packs. Lucky for you, I have no trouble spending money! Prepare thyselves, gamers and Gears enthusiasts – I talk a lot, I loved the crap out of this entire game, and as far as I’m concerned, the DLC stuff is totally worth it.

Boobies FTW!
by Laurini, Reviewer
Yamada may be the school beauty, but she wants to start off the new semester with a real bang –by collecting one hundred sex friends!

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
by Jennifer Bay, Editor
There is very little I don’t love about Robert Downey, Jr. or Jude Law. Regardless of the negativity both have had in the public eye, I think they’re both incredibly attractive and both generally choose great roles for themselves . Put them together in a series based on one of my favorite novel characters ever and I’m sold.
Blu-ray Review: Fright Night (2011)
“He’s not lovesick, or misunderstood, he’s the @#$%ing shark from ‘Jaws’!” – Evil Ed
by Chris Kane, Reviewer and Karl Madsen, Horror Editor
We have all had neighbors move into the house next door, and most have acted strangely at first. Especially when they do most of their business at night, and a wave of criminal activity begins at the same time. Isn’t that what happens when a vampire moves in next door? How was I supposed to know that he really was a night watchman, and that there is always crime in a big city. But I digress, and the restraining order says I can’t say any more.
The new Fright Night is a retelling of a story that resonated with pre- and post pubescent Gen Xers. Indeed Fright Night is an important part of our myth pool, our tales which capered and cavorted in our minds long after we had extinguished the safety of our bedroom light. In many ways this retelling is a re presentation to the next generation: the cinematic equivalent of handing down the tale of razor-blade-laced Halloween treats, or Bloody Mary (Bloody Mary, Bloody Ma—). Fright Night 2011 also happens to be a metric shit-ton of celluloid fun, filled with nerve torquing suspense, blow-your-hair-back action sequences, and a cast that propels Fright Night shrieking into the present. Bloody good fun!

Blu-ray Review: Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series (and Giveaway Contest – Ends 12/7)
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
When Stephen Moffat took the Doctor Who reigns from Russel T. Davies, people wondered if he could possibly keep up the feeling of wonder and excitement that RTD was able to inject into Doctor Who during his 5 year run on the series. Moffat, who is no stranger to blowing people’s minds over and over again, has more than proven himself again, showing that Series 5 was not just a fluke occurrence. Doctor Who: The Complete Sixth Series on Blu-ray gives us everything we have wanted and much much MORE!
