Review: James Bond 007: Blood Stone
It’s 2011, and it’s time to stop trying to compare every Bond game to Goldeneye. Why James Bond 007: Blood Stone is the most enjoyable action game you didn’t play this past holiday season.
Dead Space 2 Collector’s Edition: Unboxing
I always thought it would be fun to do this. And, you know what? It was!
Back to the Future: The Card Game
With the recent release of the trilogy on Blu-Ray, I thought it would be a great time to take a look at a recently released card game based on the BTTF series from LooneyLabs. Its similar, in ways, to Munchkin and ultimately much easier to play than the setup / game instructions would lead you to believe. Most importantly, its really fun…
DiRT 2: Arcade racing done right
This Codemasters game came out during holiday 2009. Thanks to a sale on Steam this holiday season, I was able to pick up this game for less than five bucks, and it is worth every penny. So why are we talking about DiRT 2 now? Because it does a lot of things right – as an arcade racing game, an extreme sports game, and as a PC racing title. If you can get your hands on a copy, it’s definitely worth your time.
Let’s watch The Cape
NBC has new heroes. No not those heroes, but some other ones on the new TV series, The Cape. The Cape stars David Lyons as the good-cop-turned-super-hero. The show treads a dangerous line of being comic-y to the point of seeming insincere, but if you can get into that head space, it is worth watching.
Amazon taking pre-orders for Star Wars on Blu-Ray

There will probably be some behind the scenes features, previously unreleased footage, blah blah blah. Just do it already. And now, a short rant…
Beyond Good & Evil coming to XBLA
This February the cult classic, Beyond Good and Evil, makes a return to the console in HD. Although critically acclaimed, it was commercial flop, leaving those who did play the game clamoring for a sequel. And, unless you are content to play nothing but FPS-inspired sequels for the foreseeable future of disc-based games you’ll want to support the dwindling number of quality, novel experiences like this one.

Open Thread: Holiday media consumption
For the lucky ones that will truly have time to themselves over the next couple of weeks, this is a great time to catch up on your nerd quotient. Most television shows are on hiatus, theres a lull in video game releases, and plenty of sales out there to entice your credit card to jump out of your wallet. Time to hit your nerd media collection hard, and get started on some new stuff too.
