DVD Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

 

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor

Captain Jack Sparrow has become one of the most iconic characters in film of this decade (even showing up on Saturday Night Live being portrayed by Michael Bolton in a song that shares the same name). There is no denying the hold Jack Sparrow has over audiences. Disney Pictures knows this as well and that’s why they brought ol’ Captain Jack back for yet another outing despite most of the original production crew being gone. Pirates Of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes home to DVD to continue the multi-million Pirates movie franchise! The question is: does it hold up to its predecessors’ legacy?

PS3 Game Review: X-Men: Destiny


Choose your powers. Choose your allies. Choose your destiny.

by Caleb Paullus, Video Game Editor

Choose your limited powers. Choose you allies which don’t really seem to make a difference. Sort of choose your destiny.

That’s really what the tagline should be for the game, but if they did that, it probably wouldn’t sell better than it is. Let me start off by saying I’m a BIG fan of Marvel, but I’m not a fanboy that will fall on my knees, worship and adore anything that has the Marvel name slapped on the package. X-Men: Destiny was a very frustrating game to play.

Firstly, it is not a true RPG: your tech tree for powers is not very advanced. Playing through the game, I expected that leveling up would make a big difference when coming across the same type of bad guys. It really didn’t.

TV Review: The Walking Dead – “Bloodletting” Episode 202 Advance Look

EPISODE 202: “Bloodletting”
Coming to the aid of another, Rick discovers a possible safe haven. Shane must go on a dangerous mission to get badly needed medical supplies.

by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief

Last weekend The Walking Dead shambled back into our living rooms and our hearts (and braaains). The 90-minute premiere led our group of survivors down the road to ruin, where they hit a dead end. As you no doubt know already, one of their number  didn’t return after a zombie chase, and everyone worked together to search. Of course this led to the explosive cliff-hanger ending where a beloved character gets quite a dear surprise.

Beware minor spoilers!
