Inglorious Basterds takes place sorta-kinda in World War 2, but this is a World War 2 where the US didn't follow any war crimes guidelines, and Hitler was killed in a grand allied plot rather than shooting himself in a ditch. Also, lots of cursing and blood and obviously fake gore.

They had it, in their hands. They had an opportunity to merge three of the greatest game series of all times.

A handicapped Space Marine From The Future joins a Crazy Scientific Project to allow him to Jack In to an Avatar and learn about the Na'vis and how they peacefully coexist on a World Wide Web.

Don't let the back of the box fool you, this movie is depressing as hell. It's brilliantly written, solidly acted, and very well directed, but it will make you hate life. If you're looking for a depressing movie, or you fancy yourself a "film buff" and want to see a well-made movie, get this. If you read the box and think this is a triumphant love story, you're wrong. Spoilers after the jump.

When I reviewed the Crackdown demo in the XBOX360 Demo Roundup I gave it an EPIC WIN. The action was engaging, the gameplay was fun and challenging, and the game showed real promise of progression. All of this is still true...until you get the patch.

On the surface, Wanted is a badass idea. You take a normal schmuck, give him superhuman reaction times and strength, and the ability to bend bullets. It's like The Matrix, or Equilibrium, but with bullet bending! Unfortunately, that seems to be as far as the directors got, though they did throw in a bucket (or seven) of fake blood.

The Bigs is an arcade-style baseball game for the Wii. It has above average presentation, and a fantastic concept, but it's destroyed by horrible controls. I dare you to play an entire game without screaming at it.

This review was originally written on my personal blog circa 5 years ago. So any references to "last night" or "last year" or whatever are inaccurate at best. Deal. Also Jedi Academy is mentioned, and I WILL be reviewing that, but it's part of a long string of reviews that covers the entire series, so it will take me a while to compile.
