PSN Game Review: Poker Night 2
by Mike Favila, Reporter I love playing poker, and I love video games, so this should have worked out quite well. (No Asian jokes please!) Poker Night 2 is Telltale Games’ next entry in the series. I got to play…
Movie Review: Iron Man 3
The Invincible Iron Man returns to the big screen for his latest solo adventure in Iron Man 3. After the events of Marvel’s The Avengers, our armored hero hasn’t quite been the same. It’s hard to blame Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr – The Avengers) for being a little off after teaming up with a Norse God, a monster, a living legend, and a couple of spies to fight off an alien invasion. Stark better get his act together quickly, because a new terrorist threat has emerged, and it will soon be up to Iron Man to save the day! Taking cues from the fan-favorite “Extremis” storyline, Iron Man 3 is the perfect way to get “Phase Two” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into motion!
PlayStation 3 Review: Mortal Kombat – Komplete Edition
In a move of sheer genius, this reboot returns the series to its origins, resulting in one hell of an excellent fighting game.
TV Review: Once Upon a Time 2×20 “The Evil Queen”
Chelsea and Jachelle talk about the newest episode of Once Upon a Time and whether or not The Evil Queen can be redeemed, should be redeemed, or if they should just stop beating a dead horse. The show is slowly moving toward the finale, but a little too slow for us. Once Upon a Time is on ABC Sunday nights at 8 PM EST.
TV Review: Game of Thrones 3×5 “Kissed By Fire”
Chelsea and Jachelle discuss the new episode of Game of Thrones "Kissed by Fire." How many shapely naked people from behind do we see this episode? The answer is five, and they're mostly not gratuitous. Shocker. Game of Thrones is on HBO Sunday nights at 9 PM EST.
TV Review: Doctor Who 7×10 “Hide”

TV Review: Lost Girl Season 3 finale
Dee talks about the season finale of Lost Girl and reflects a little on the season as a whole. It might not have been the strongest one that Showcase gave us, but they did manage to end on a high note. What does next season have in store for us? We have a long time to speculate.
Blu-Ray Review: Iron Man – Extremis
Mya: "We don't know where he is"
Iron Man: "I do. Mya… I can see through satellites now!"
Blu-ray Review: Cheech and Chong’s Animated Movie
If you’re a fan of Cheech and Chong this is a must have for your collection. If you’re a fan of watching flicks through what Kev Smith calls the green prism: we're sure you’ll find Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie a fat sack of laughs! Good fun, good animation, and some good laughs despite the mildly dated material.
Blu-ray Review: Pawn
A night shift cop on a routine visit to his favorite diner interrupts a robbery in progress. And that’s nearly all we can say without giving away key pieces of Pawn, a compelling straight to Blu-ray crime flick from first time director, David A Armstrong. Pawn contains some attractive elements: the story is told in anachronic flashback, the setup is deliciously intriguing (what team of professional thieves robs a nearly empty diner at 11:30pm?) and the cast is top shelf.

XBOX 360 Game Review: The Walking Dead – Survival Instinct
Zombie video games are a dime a dozen these days; you can’t shoot a bullet without hitting one even within your favorite franchises. Call of Duty? Zombies! Red Dead Redemption? Also zombies! Halo? Well… to be fair Halo had zombies…
PS3 Game Review: Injustice – Gods Among Us
I tend to suck a lot of noodle when it comes to fighters. So when I say that Injustice: Gods Among Us is a ridiculously awesome and entertaining fighting game, you had better believe that there is something very special about it.
Blu-Ray Review: Wu Dang
It feels like forever since I have watched a good kung fu flick in the vein of so many Hong Kong classics. Finally, I get to experience another taste of sweet fighting bliss with the Blu-Ray release of Wu Dang.
TV Review: The X-Files 1×8 “Ice”
In this episode of The X-Files, Mulder and Scully are snowed in at a base where the former occupants went mad and killed each other. They have assembled a team of scientists to explore the reason why, but can they get to the bottom of it before they start to turn on each other? This is an example of an episode that reminds you of another movie or TV show, but it’s done so well it feels like more of an homage.
