ALTGN’s One Minute (or less) Reviews: Alone in the Dark

July 20th, 2008

Atari revamps the Alone in the Dark series, bringing it into modern day with a vengeance. Well that, and lots and lots of fire. Tons of fire. Way more fire than you’d ever imagine. And YOU get to fight it!



ALTGN’S One Minute (or less) Reviews: Haze (PS3)

June 10th, 2008

You probably want to know what a game is like before you shell out $60 for it. So watch this - and then go buy something in the Alt Amazon Store, you cheap bastards.



SNK Arcade Classics : VOLUME ONE

May 9th, 2008

A bit of nostalgia, a trip back to being 11 and yearning for the ever elusive, extremely expensive NEO GEO. I think the system was $650, well above the price point of the Sega Genesis and Turbo Graffix 16. It was a time of ‘Beat’m ups’, Final Fight and Streets of Rage were the […]



XBLA Rocky and Bullwinkle Review

April 17th, 2008

If you walk up to one of today’s youth and ask them if they know who Rocky and Bullwinkle are, they will most likely give you a puzzled look before going on about Ben 10 or Hannah Montana. Does this mean that those who are out of the loop with these characters should avoid this game? Not in the least.



Review: Army of Two (Xbox 360)

March 12th, 2008

With big guns, cooperative gameplay, modern warfare, and pretty graphics, Army of Two seemed like a no-brainer. EA promised a lot, but even after some delays for polishing, Army of Two doesn’t quite deliver.



Review: Conan

February 6th, 2008

Mention Conan and most people immediately think of the red-haired talk show host, but if you like barbarians, blood and boobs, you may get a kick out of this God of War inspired hack-and-slash from Nihilistic Software.



The Simpsons Game Review

January 23rd, 2008

Given the series’ spotty track record as videogames, it’s easy to dismiss The Simpsons Game as another piece of licensed garbage, but the game is definitely worth a look. We review the 360 version of the game.



Cloverfield Review

January 19th, 2008

Before you read another line, realize this review DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS. If you haven’t seen the movie, get off your ass, go and see it NOW. There is no excuse. No, stop reading, GO. If you have seen it, and didn’t like the film, there are some choice words for you in here too.



Comic Reviews for 1/16/08

January 17th, 2008

Welcome to the (hopefully) weekly comic reviews! As a relatively poor college student, I lack the funds to buy a majority of the books that hit stands each week, forcing me to pick out only the books that I think are worth purchasing. Hope you enjoy!

January 1st, 2008

Worried about that bass pedal snapping? We put the “Pedal Metal” Rock Band Bass Pedal Reinforcement from DB Enterprises to the test.



Chuck’s Review: I Am Legend

December 18th, 2007

Imperfect in plenty of ways on a production level, however on an emotional level I Am Legend is flawless.



Stardust (HD DVD)

December 15th, 2007

I had expected Stardust, a fantasy movie based off the well-regarded Neil Gaiman novel, to do well at the box office when it launched in August. The movie floundered however, dropping off the charts after 45 days, earning approximately $38 million.
Stardust may have been up against overwhelming competition, with The Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpson’s Movie, […]

Rock Band Review

November 26th, 2007

Rock Band is out and it rocks, but is it GOTY material? We look at the Special Edition of the Xbox360 version to see if it is truly a Guitar Hero killer or just an opening act.
