Does anyone out there still play Stranglehold online? Anyone? The John Woo game was pretty fun for what it was (my review here) and yeah, the online multiplayer was decent. Unfortunately there were also a lot of glitches and lag to be found, along with quite a limited selection of levels and game modes, so … Continue reading →
Just got a heads up that Michele Gondry (Eternal Sunshine, The Science of Sleep) will be in the fair city of Manhattan next Friday, January 11th to promote his new movie Be Kind Rewind. If you’ve missed our articles on it before (Devin’s or Jeremy’s), Be Kind Rewind stars Jack Black and Mos Def as … Continue reading →
If you’re an Xbox 360 owner, chances are you’re aware of how crappy the service has been over the last few weeks. At times it’s been impossible to connect to the network at all, and it couldn’t have happened at a worse time.

Whole bunch of Wii titles this week, and that’s it! Guess some kiddies still have Christmas cash to spend. Or don’t, considering all these titles are budget games and hit for around 20 bucks. Nothing too exciting, of course… but since Xbox Live’s being all spotty, maybe you’ve got nothing else to do. As if … Continue reading →
