The thing I like about Tim Burton movies, especially his movies made from books, is that he gives you 80% of what you're expecting, and 20% of something you're completely not, and somehow melds that into a really really good movie... and for the first half of this one, I'd thought I'd found an exception.
This movie is quite slow in the windup. Thank God he assumes that we know most of the characters from the original book, for it saves us the tedium of all the introductions.
Imagine a third-rate cover-based third person shooter with bad weapon selection, bad enemies, and a terrible auto save feature. As you're playing it, even 20 minutes or so, take the disc out and put in a third-rate flight combat sim with bad controls, unbalanced enemies, frustrating radar, and a small amount of weapons. That's Dark Void.
Sam and Max Episode 6 of Season One, Dark Side of the Moon is a great continuation of the series. And it's got a really need puzzle solving boss battle that harkens back to the former days of glory for the Adventure game market.
However, this game doesn't really stand on it's own. It depends heavily on previous chunks of the game being well known to the players, and it's a bit of a letdown on the writing side of things. It's still great... but it's not the best of the series.
Rockstar Punched was my first run-in with the Rockstar brand of energy drinks, and it gave me a high opinion of the brand. So when I saw that my local megamart was carrying the zero carb version of Rockstar, I decided to splurge.
In most cases, Sucralose is the magic ingredient. I look for it when purchasing "zero carb" or "sugar free" beverages, as it does a great job of emulating the flavor profile of sugar. Rockstar Zero Carb is proof that Sucralose is not a magic ingredient.
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.
Episode 5 of the first season of Sam and Max is my second favorite of the series, behind Abe Lincoln Must Die. This one takes place in that zany world, Reality 2.0 which is taking over the Internet and only you can save everyone from becoming hypnotized online game addicts!
Full of wit and references to gaming culture, this game is incredibly awesome. It's a bit lacking in the graphics department; Telltale shortcut a bit to get this game out.
It's hard to find an energy drink which is, at the same time, tasty and buzz inducing. Rockstar has done a great job with Rockstar Punched, a fruit punch flavored energy drink which contains a decent amount of buzz along with a flavor which won't put you off your lunch.
At 260 calories per 16oz can, it falls right into the "guilty pleasure" department of Energy Drinks when on a diet, but you can do much, much worse in the energy drink market than Rockstar Punched.
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.
I don't play games quickly anymore. I get an hour a night, on average, MAYBE if I'm lucky. So consequently, I don't get to review games in their entirety in a timely manner. I think, though that a lot of people have this kind of time crunch in their personal lives. The average age of gamers has increased to 32. Our readers are, on average, not the kind of person who can play a video game for 48 hours straight. Therefore, I think my first impression reviews are pretty useful.
