After the initial launch, it seemed clear who the winner would be. Nintendo's DS had an odd two-screen design, arguable less power, and far fewer abilities. The PSP looked sleek, had one big screen, and could play dvd quality movies and mp3s. All the DS could play was games. But as the weeks went by, things rapidly started to shift in the DS's favor.

It may have been odd, or even weak, but it had games. Good games. And while DSers were playing the likes of Canvas Curse and Advance wars, PSP... read more

A few words on the release of the WAR OF THE WORLDS DVD (which I am sure many fans are eagerly awaiting).

As always the company has two options out, a big one with lots of cool stuff and a small one with... well, not much cool stuff to offer aside from the film.

Most people will agree that one of the only things that is better than Penelope Cruz is Salma Hayek... so what would filmmakers get if they cast the two alongside each other? I'm guessing-- just like the studios are-- that the answer is going to be pure (hot) magic.

The UMD disks for Sony's new PSP handheld are capable of storing both games and DVD-quality movies, so it's not really surprising that a Movie/game combo UMD has finally been released. The particular movie and game chosen however, are pretty disappointing.

Gamespot reports that the California senate, likely spurred on by the recent "Hot Coffee" scandal, has passed a bill banning the sale of violent video games to minors, and making doing so punishable by a $1000 fee.

In the wake of SIN CITY, the whole taking-a-graphic-novel -and-making-it-a-movie thing doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Maybe. Microsoft has announced that the long awaited prequel to the Rare's Perfect Dark game is being developed for the Xbox 360. This isn't really surprising: Rare's been working on the game for some time now, and their recent exclusive partnership with Microsoft, coupled with the imminent release of the new console meant that if Perfect Dark Zero came out at all, it would almost certainly come out on the 360. But here's where the "maybe" comes in: Rare, while a clever and creative company, is... read more

Link fans may need to brace themselves: According to Eurogamer, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creative genius and main-man behind Nintendo, has been quoted as saying that the
upcoming "Twilight Princess" Zelda game will be "without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in it's present form."

Miyamoto certainly hasn't been afraid to experiment with the games before: the odd "cell-shades" visual style of "Wind Waker" is evidence enough of that. But it's hard to believe that he or his company... read more

Inside a darkened room very realistic-looking "human body parts" are piled on shelves and hanging from meat hooks. It looks pretty morbid, as if entering the lair of a serial killer or a macabre mortuary, but it's actually a bakery and the "parts" are bread sculptures made by Kittiwat Unarrom, a 28-year-old art student.

"Of course, people were shocked and thought that I was mad when they saw the works. But once they knew the idea behind it, they understood and became interested in the work... read more

"It's very important to have a balance," she said. "I mean, I... read more

Man, Hollywood just can't get enough of the video game pie. First the
earlier Halo announcement, and now this: In a recent article on 1up
,Uwe Boll claims he may soon be shooting a movie based on the all-about-shock value first person shooter "Postal". The bad news, of course, is that Boll is known for
taking good video games (like "House of the Dead" and "Alone in the Dark") and
making awful movies of them.

Nevertheless, Postal is arguably the most violent and offensive video game ... read more

Tom Sizemore, famous for his roles in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, and BLACK HAWK DOWN, has been getting lots of media attention lately for his "interesting" lifestyle habits.

With modern cinema, the sequel (or sequels) has become somewhat of a disappointing standard. You constantly hear about the "newest sequel" for the "blockbuster film", while most of them are still in theatres. Just this year we have talks, and some production, on sequels for FANTASTIC FOUR, WEDDING CRASHERS, SIN CITY, and the list could go on. Occasionally though, you hear about a sequel that surprises you, maybe it even pleases you (SIN CITY might go here). These are rare, but sometimes they... read more

Most people have heard about the disturbing underbelly of receiving anesthesia at a doctor's office... You know, that horrifying (yet unlikely) occurrence that happens when a patient is put under to the point of paralysis, but still registers every stroke of pain administered by a surgeon. The patients are essentially awake during surgery, and unable to notify their doctor that they are in excruciating pain.

So, of course, this has the all the makings of a perfect horror movie! Written by... read more

Most everyone can agree that OLD SCHOOL was pretty damn funny. Most would also agree that a sequel to this film might actually work. Dreamworks obviously falls into this category, as they have just given a greenlight for the sequel .

As you may have noticed from my previous posts, scent means SO much. for those of you who reek of cigarette after smoking, here's a tip. If you must smoke before meeting your date, or anyone for that matter, but don't have time to change, freshen up a bit by spraying yourself with something like Febreze--NOT cologne in this case since you may tend to go overboard with it, and it doesn't get rid of the smell. The freshener should kill the stench of the cigarette without being overpowering. ... read more

I wanted to expand on Recruit Skyla's EXCELLENT article on winning a girl's heart through her stomach. (Check it out and cast her a vote!)

Don't forget about presentation. Girls "eat it up" when you make an ordinary meal into something special. It only takes a little extra effort:

- Serve water or orange juice in wine or champagne glasses. Don't forget the fresh lemon!

- Set a "formal" setting for even the simplest meals: napkins, silverware settings and all possible condiments... read more
