Latest Game Reviews...
Mario Kart 7
Nintendo 3DS
With limited single-player appeal, multiplayer madness remains the name of the game for Mario Kart 7.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Wii
Just when everyone gets ready to dismiss Wii for its recent lack of high quality games, Nintendo goes and releases a high quality game. Go figure.

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
PlayStation 3, Wii, Windows PC, Xbox 360
LEGO plus videogames, the Reese's Peanut Butter cups of digital entertainment, the benevolent cash cow concept that just keeps giving. What's not to like?

Alice: Madness Returns
PlayStation 3
This is what happens when a lovable demented visionary takes over someone else's lovable demented vision. Alice: Madness Returns.

L.A. Noire
PlayStation 3
In the pantheon of game publishing gods, Rockstar Games is not only among them, but now sits incontestably as top deity thanks to the Grand Theft Auto maker's latest opus, L.A. Noire.

Shift 2: Unleashed
PlayStation 3
The long-running (-out-of-steam) Need for Speed racing game series from EA has enjoyed a serious overhaul and emerged as good, solid, head-wobbling fun in Shift 2: Unleashed.

NBA Jam HD
iPad
EA Sports has taken its old NBA Jam franchise to a new level, capturing the look and feel of the original game but updating it just enough to add the thrill and excitement necessary to appeal to everyone who has an iOS device.

Slice
iPad, iPhone
Evergeek's Matt Waskey is a proud owner of an iPad2. He loves it so much, he didn't even lament the blood splattered across its HD screen, gushed from his own severed finger. Digitally, anyway.

Coraline DVD A typical Neil Gaiman story, Coraline delivers a top-notch stop-motion adventure punctuated by magic, quirky dialogue and a rich gaggle of misfit characters.
Knowing DVD What starts out as an action packed study in numerology degenerates into hopeless pseudo-religious sci-fi tripe; the utter lack of bonus content on DVD does nothing elevate Knowing above epic twaddle. With bunnies.
Speed Racer DVD Sure, cars shouldn't be able to jump on demand much less pirouette like motorized shurikens. But girls don't give you kooties, either. Speed Racer is all about the life-is-racing fantasy. As in larger-than and fantastic.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street DVD The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Based on the hit Broadway musical, this film has all the hallmarks of a Burton/Depp labor of love.
Cloverfield DVD An innovative flick about a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people, even better if you consider it a horror movie rather than sci-fi.
