MCP: WEEKLY GAME FIX- 12/24/07

Well, it looks like this column covering weekly video game releases (that only kicked off last week!) has already hit a wall. See, there are no games coming out this week. None.

DVD REVIEW: CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE TV SPECIALS, THE

Like many people, most of my waking hours in the 1970’s were spent in a hazy, drooling stupor, babbling incoherently while periodically vomiting all over myself.

MCP: RANDOM SETTING – 12.21.07

I’m back. I was going to explain where I was all this time, but it’d involve me explaining the practicalities of the legal system and frankly, no one gives a shit. Instead let’s go with “sorry, I was at a Gamespot protest and lost my plane ticket home.” By the way, Manhunt 2 rocks! Here’s … Continue reading

MCP: FUCK YOU, ACTIVISON

Rock Band hit a major snag when it was released for the PS3. The major selling point of the game, the 4-player band mode, was not playable… unless you knew someone else who bought the 170 buck bundle.
