iPhone Game Review: Iron Man: Aerial Assault

When the Iron Man movie came to theatres this year, it raised the bar for not only comic book movies but all action movies. It featured solid characterization, exciting action, and amazing special effects.

When Iron Man subsequently came to Blu-ray, it also raised the bar in production value for its medium, Making it the best way to experience an already epic movie.

Can a game, which only came out recently, well after the releases of the film and the DVD, hope to measure up, or is this another example of some disappointing cheap ploy to exploit name recognition?

Blu-ray Review: X-Files: Fight The Future

The X-Files TV show ran nine seasons from 1993 to 2002. Season five of Fox’s Golden Globe and Emmy-winning series The X-Files ended with its highest viewership ever, the X-Files division of the FBI within the show had just been shut down, and fans were eager to finally see the X-Files movie, which we learned was shot in during the break between seasons 4 and 5, but picked up right where season 5 left off: the X-Files were no more, but Mulder and Scully were still FBI Agents.

Here goes…

Blu-ray Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Star Wars: The Clone Wars does what no Star Wars prequel has ever done: Not suck.

Sure, Episode I had pod racing and a cool battle with Darth Maul, Episode II had Yoda battling Dooku and the arena scene, and Episode III had a battle scene on Kashyyyk, a place we hadn’t seen since the Holiday Special, but overall, they were an embarrassment to all us old school fans of the original trilogy. They featured whiny Anakin whining his whiny face all over the whiny place… They just weren’t good.
