    I was lucky enough to get to attend an advanced screening of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie earlier this week, and I gotta say, I really, really liked it. It’s no secret I’m a spy buff, with a mild (OK, not so mild) obsession with Bond, and so when I first saw the trailer for…

    I remember that when this series launched they had a bunch of promo videos online with the two stars singing songs, and at that point I already knew I’d love it. Since it’s on Netflix now (it’s originally an IFC series) I started watching it, and it’s just as good as I hoped. Love these…

    Didn’t really know about this series until the recent launch of the second season, but sounded fun so decided to start watching the first season. I’ve watched 3 episodes far, and yeah, this show is great. The voice casting is inspired too, it’s fun to recognize the guest actors. Glad I have a whole bunch…

    I’ll admit that the movie was something I finally only got to recently – it was one of those things I’d been meaning to watch for ages, but just never got around to it. I finally watched it about a month ago, prompted by the promise of the soon-to-start Netflix series, and it ended up…

    I thought this game looked fun when I first saw a trailer for it a few months ago, and having played it now, it’s even better than I was hoping. Yeah, sure, playing soccer while driving cars sounds incredibly weird and nonsensical, but it really is a blast to play, with the driving controls perfectly…

    I didn’t really know much about this game before playing it (it’s one of the PS+ free downloads this month), beyond that the screenshots I had seen looked pretty. Ends up that it takes a bit from Tempest, along with the idea of using the two analog sticks to control two separate entities (think Brothers).…

    Picked this up now that it’s out on PS4, and yeah, this is so up my alley. Haven’t played a good shooter (as in shmup) in ages, and the visuals on this are fantastic. Haven’t played that much yet, but I’ve certainly enjoyed what I’ve experienced so far (the first couple of chapters). The one…

    Picked this up because I miss Wave Race so much, and just want to race on water with decent visuals. The fact that it’s only $7 on PS4 made it an easy sell, as well as hearing that it’s from the same people behind last generation’s Hydro Thunder revival, a game I had a lot…

    I’ve only played a bit so far, but this is such an interesting game. You play by accessing video recordings of a woman being interviewed/interrogated in regards to a crime, and based on that you need to figure out what really happened. Nice to see a game that incorporates live-action, and it not feeling cheesy.

    Since getting access to a whole lotta new apps on Apple TV, I was browsing through the ABC one, and decided to check out this show. I remember thinking it sounded just awful when first announced, but I’d since heard that it was actually pretty decent, and having watched 2 episodes now, I gotta say…
