So, the remake of all remakes has arrived. The revision to make the Star Wars Special Editions look like piles of puke... ...but does it? It does. Or maybe it doesn't. *slapped* It's good, no doubt. And while it's quite similar to the Mega Man X that began on the...

4Kids.tv remainder reviews, abridged-abridged. TMNT was good. Love the new intro. Some old, some new. After last season's blow-out closer, this past Saturday's was more of a filler follow-up, letting the guys recover on Casey's farm, but I expect it to pick up soon....

So with any luck, throughout the week I can give some little quick-hit reviews of this past Saturday's new fall lineup on 4Kids.tv/Fox. Ok, not the whole lineup, just Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and GI Joe: Sigma Six. Today: Sonic X. I have no idea if Japan...

Wow. This is what midnight showings are all about. I'll try and gush about it while remaining as unspoiling as I can. First. I really, REALLY hate myself for missing the Batmobile at Eaton Centre now. That thing is fucking AWESOME. Second, Katie Holmes' character is,...

Just got Mega Man X8, and played a little of it. Won't say how much, but let's just say I'm not very far, so no spoilers, plzkthxbye. But, my thoughts: 1) Voices of X, Zero, and Axl are better acted than in Command Mission, despite being the same guys. But as I...

So today was the sneak-peek of MegaMan NT Warrior Axess. And surprisingly, it seems few are speaking of it in my LJ Friends, but I'll give it another rundown. Here are some thoughts on it... The theme song sucks balls. Why? It is a TOTAL reuse of the season 2, or...

Games to play, if you haven't given them a shot already: Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3(PS2): Definitely fun if you like the show/manga, and unique among fighting games. I didn't get to play 2, but I played a bit of 1, which was neat. Story mode is a little watered down in...

Yes, I am enjoying Command Mission very much, thank you. I've only just started Chapter 4, but this game is providing more or less stuff I like out of Mega Man X right now. Foremost, it's giving me a setting that's NOT just "shoot everything." It's giving me character...

Cool: A home port of SVC Chaos: SNK Vs. Capcom Suck: It's only on XBox(fuck YOU, SCEA, and your stupid Compu-Nazi policies). Cool: Still being able to play it at work on occassion, and getting PAID for it, provided a customer is involved. Suck: Various other...

Just finished watching GI Joe: Valor Vs. Venom. Strange, I thought it was supposed to be done by a Japanese studio, but the closest thing I saw to any sort of Asian in the "Making of" feature was the VA for Dr. Mindbender. Overall, not a bad movie. A little jarring,...

So, I finally got to see The Punisher. It's been a pretty constant, well-doing rental, so I don't see what's so "bad" about it. I'm something of a Punisher fan, though not exactly hardcore, nor for a long time, but I do know things about the character. I know the...

I got to play GameCube's version of Mega Man X Command Mission for the briefest of periods at work today, just before closing. Like, maybe five minutes. I got to see the opening, and the first little bit. So far, I like it. Though I had about 3 random encounters in...

To those who say that they will ignore the events of the games of the Mega Man X series past X5, because that is where Inafune had originally wanted it to end... don't. That's all I'm going to say, other than it seems I was right, Inafune wasn't going to let the...
