‘Mass Effect 3′ Review: Saving Earth Was Never Such Dark Fun

March 6, 2012Erik Kain

Mass Effect 3 launches to high expectations – does it live up to the hype? Oh yes…. Mass Effect 3 is awesome. I don’t mean to simply say that it’s a great game, though it is; I mean that it fills you with awe. Video games are becoming more and more like interactive films, and the […]

The Manliest Swordfight Of All Time

February 24, 2012Erik Kain

Alex Knapp has been singing Gentlemint’s praises, and with good reason. It’s basically Pinterest for men. Alex passed along this neat article (via Facebook) on the “7 Manliest Swordfights Of All Time” which he found on Gentlemint. It’s a great list, with lots of the usual suspects including the fantastic swordfights from Princess Bride and […]

The Dreadfully Dull and Disappointing ‘Adventures of Tintin’

January 2, 2012Erik Kain

  I recently took some flak for arguing in favor of the death of 3D at the movies. After reading Roger Ebert give some surprisingly positive feedback on the 3D in Tintin, and since Hugo in 3D had already left theatres here, it was off to see the latest Spielberg animated flick. Why not give […]

Review: ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’ is a Cinematic Triumph

December 18, 2011Erik Kain

‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’ pushes the boundary between gaming and film. It’s also one of the best games of 2011. If you don’t have it yet, you’re missing out. Ever since I started gaming many years ago, my one gripe with narrative games has been the cut-scenes. A few games did these fairly well by making […]

The New ‘Tintin’ Trailer Looks Great

November 26, 2011Erik Kain

Unlike Alyssa, I think that Tintin works much better animated – the above trailer has convinced me. Not to mention, the animation looks quite stunning. I won’t see the film in 3D if I can help it – 3D has still failed to live up to its promise, I think, and I don’t particularly like […]
