The mechanical spider is the work of art collaborative La Machine, who’s previous work includes the [...]

Can You Feel The Poke Power?
I’ve been meaning in purchasing a new Nintendo DS Lite for quite some time now, and kinda ditch the old one I have that almost was running out of battery power, but I was waiting for the right “limited edition” bundle to pop up so I can grab one.
Not until today when I was strolling [...]

The Best 50 Animated Movies Ever
According to Rotten Tomatoes, that is. Not a terrible list, though, if I were making a list on what I thought were the best animated films of all time, I’m not sure I’d put movies like Kung Fu Panda, Corpse Bride, or Antz on it (much as I like them, they’re not really “classics”). But, [...]

Person C: Hey, you look like a McCain-Palin guy! Are [...]

The Bitch Has Done It!
I was just about to go though my Edge magazine that I arrived in my mailbox early that day. I just came from school and decided to feed my affection for videogame journalism by reading several articles that were written in the magazine when my cell phone rang its familiar Zelda ringtone. For the sake [...]

Review: Braid
Platform: Xbox360 (via Xbox Live Arcade)
Genre: Puzzle / 2D-Advanture
Rating: Everyone (10+)
If you take it purely as entertainment, Braid is nearly flawless. Taken it as an artistic work, it’s like an ambitious film that just overreaches its limits, flawed in an interesting and compelling way. As a whole, it is gripping and original far [...]
