The Worst Thing About the Wii
Here we are, only a couple of weeks away from the launch of the Wii U. Naturally, this has led me to take a little bit of time to sit back and reflect on this last generation of games. And thinking about it, the Wii has had one problem which stood out above all others...
Mini-Review: Coca-Cola Freestyle Machine
This past week, I had the opportunity to try out one of Coca-Cola's new Freestyle machines at a nearby Wendy's here in the Greater Toronto Area. For those unfamiliar with the Freestyle machine, it is described as follows on the product's Facebook page: "Coca-Cola...
Review: Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza
Just a quick review, for those interested. This time out, I tried Pizza Hut's new Hot Dog Stuffed Crust pizza. "The innovative chefs at Pizza Hut have taken two classic favourites - pizza and hot dogs - and found a delicious way for them to be enjoyed together!" said...
Science Week on 1UP
As it happens, reviews aren't the only thing I've been up to; I've been writing a few things for 1UP as well. Such as this past week's Cover Story, Science Week! There, I have two articles available for your enjoyment: The first is called "Mysticism vs. Science in...
Review Round-Up – 10/28/12
I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRR!!! ...to show you the latest stuff I've been reviewing, and part of why there hasn't been more original content in this space. From Slide to Play: He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe - He-Man is back, and he's brought all of his...
Sifl and Olly Review Cloud’s Edge: The Ancient Texts IV
Remember Sifl and Olly? They had a show on MTV which ran from 1997 to 1999 called (appropriately enough) The Sifl & Olly Show. Now, thanks to the power of YouTube and Machinima, they're back with Sifl and Olly Video Game Reviews, and the latest episode (as of this...
The Top Nine Other Things I Want Reinvented in the New TMNT
Some things deserve another go-round.
My Thoughts on Nickelodeon’s TMNT Episode 1: Rise of the Turtles part 1
Here we are: The Nickelodeon era of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has officially begun... though I suppose if one counts IDW's comics, it began a year ago. But this being the cartoon show on a major cable network with a prominent toyline attached... one can bet this is...
Nickelodeon Should Bring the Super Shredder Back to TMNT
As I sit down to write this, it is late on the eve of the debut of Nickelodeon's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, which-- as I see it-- officially kicks off a new era for the fab four. Certainly, IDW has been doing some rather intriguing things with their...
Bandai D-Arts Vile Reviewed at The Mega Man Network
Here's one more review for you all, but this time it's something a little different. You see, it's not food, and it's not a video game (though it is related to one)... it's a toy! Back at Otakon, I received a review sample of Vile from Bandai's D-Arts Mega Man X line,...
Review Round-Up – 9/23/12
Wow, it's been a little while since I last shared my reviews from elsewhere with you guys. Time to fix that! On Slide to Play: Rayman Jungle Run - Undoubtedly the best of the lot. If you have an iPhone, I cannot recommend this any more highly. And yes, the theme from...
D.C. Douglas’s Favorite “Chase” Moments from Transformers: Rescue Bots
One of my favorite cartoons to air over the past year has been Transformers: Rescue Bots, a branch of the Prime/War for Cybertron continuity which is admittedly a bit more kid-friendly. It's a fun show with some great characters which manages to do something new,...
Review: Harvey’s Great Canadian Pulled Pork Burger & Pulled Pork Poutine
For those unaware, Harvey's is a proud Canadian fast-food chain which prides itself on making your food the way you want it. To that end, rather than having things assembled back in the kitchen, they will cook things there and add the garnishes out in front along the...
Update to “Building a Better Mario Kart”
Nothing too big here, but I made a bit of an oversight in my "Building a Better Mario Kart" article from a couple of days ago, and I have just finished adding it in. If you wanted to know without reading (or re-reading the whole thing), I added two items to the end:...
Dear Microsoft: Let Rare Remake These Classic Games!
Recently, James Rolfe added to a series of GameTrailers videos where he drops his "Angry Video Game Nerd" persona and talks candidly about video games he has fond memories of from years ago. His most recent entry (which, unlike his AVGN videos, has little in the way...
Building a Better Mario Kart: What I Would Change
Much as I love Mario Kart, it's not perfect, and I feel that SEGA's Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has overall managed to surpass it as a more enjoyable, more competitive, and overall more skill-based experience. The sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is...
What I Love in Mario Kart
As mentioned at the end of my previous post, I really enjoy Mario Kart. More than anything, the characters, vehicles, and tracks tend to stand out for me. Here are some of my favorites. Characters: Mario Kart has seen a lot of characters over the years. I remember...
Super Mario Kart Turns 20: Looking Back
Will I ever get a tribute up on time? Probably not on this site. Still, one day late (by a short margin) is better than never, I suppose. Today's honor is the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Kart in North America (with Japan's coming out only a few days...
