WWE Wrestlemania 28 Predictions

So here we are, just under a week away from Wrestlemania 28 in sunny Miami.  It's time to take a look at the card for the biggest wrestling show of the year and start making predictions.  As a preface, I will be predicting who I believe will be booked to win - not necessarily who I would like to win.  The order of matches is also up in the air, and we'll see how close I get to predicting that as well! Steve's Predictions Match 1 -  Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan (c) for the World Heavyweight Championship Sheamus has been on one of the strongest win streaks in the WWE in a long time.  From the Royal Rumble until now he...

Marvel Comics: Avenging Spider-Man 5

The Avenging Spider-man is a fairly new series that has only just started, and so far I must say I enjoy it. By no means does that mean I like it, as there is no need to have more than one comic do the exact same thing as another. We already have The Amazing Spider-man, we really don't need an Avenging one. It's not like when you have a series like Ultimate Spider-man, where the universe is completely different. This time it's really just the same Spider-man we know teaming up with various avengers. We get that normally though, so to me it's just putting talent into a wasted effort. If you want to put Spider-man with any given Avenger,...

It's Here! Avengers VS X-Men!

This week, "Avengers VS X-men" Unofficially kicks off! I say unofficially because it's issue #0, the starting point but not quite where we need to be to start the actual epic event. This issue brings you behind the scenes at what is going on with two of the major characters in the brawl, the Scarlet Witch and Hope Summers. When you pick up this issue (And you will) you'll notice you get a 2-fer. That's right, and I don't mean the free Digital Copy(What, is everything going digital!?). You get one story about the Scarlet Witch, and then a completely different story about Hope Summers. So I'll take a look at each, as well as give you a quick...

[VIDEO] Max Payne 3 multiplayer trailer

I can't wait for Max Payne 3, seeing as its been nealry 10 years since we've had the pleasure of showering enemies with a hail of bullets. Rockstar has released the first trialer showcasing the mutiplayer aspect of the game. I'm sure you're asking yourself, "multiplayer?" If you haven't learned by now, any shooter title will have the requisite multiplayer mode attached to it. The trailer does also reveal some of the different gameplay modes that players can expect, such as Gang Wars and Payne Killer. Based on what I'm seeing the multiplayer action does look fun. Now watch dudes roll around on the ground, jump in slo-mo, and...

The Codename Heard Around the World

We want to keep backing Sony into a corner about their new PlayStation console, but they haven't budged. However, unconfirmed sources are leading us to believe that we pressed Sony so hard that they couldn't breathe, so we have a couple of answers. Those answers, however, are definitely not exactly the ones we wanna hear. Codename: Orbis. It's expected arrival date is Holiday 2013, around the same time that Xbox (with its codename: Durango) is supposed to come around. It's going to be a ridiculous holiday season, that's for sure, but there are some awesome upsides for those who nerdgasm at gorgeous graphics and fps, and some really serious...

The Nintendo 3DS Turns One

"Not another one!" is what everyone I know said. Everyone. For what it's worth, Nintendo is the expert on releasing systems. The "Gameboy" was one of the first handhelds back in it's day, and has had the largest evolution of gaming since...well, pretty much ever. It all started with the Gameboy, a huge clunky system that you brought with you to play your favorite games. Then they produced the Gameboy Pocket, a smaller, slimmer Gameboy that well, can fit in your pocket. They upgraded that to the Gameboy Color, which while previous models had two-tone screens, the Gameboy Color provided a variety of color to the specific Gameboy Color Games....

Retrofix: Die Hard

What is there to say about Die Hard that hasn't already been said? It has woven itself into pop culture, and is one of those iconic pieces of American cinema. I mean who doesn't know "Yippie kai yay mother fucker"? My mom knows the term for crying out loud, but she has no clue that hardboiled cop John McClane was the character behind the renowned line.Die Hard is a prime example of 80's excess, and that's what makes it so damn beautiful. It's the creme de la creme of the action genre, the standard if you will. Everything in this movie embodies what film making was like in the 80's, especially in regards to action films: Hardcore pyrotechnics,...

A Month With the PlayStation Vita

I purchased the PlayStation Vita on a whim a little over a month ago. It’s given me some time to use it and try out some of the features and really get into it. It also gave me time to get over the “wow” factor of such a new device to give more of an honest and realistic opinion of the newest portable system to enter the market. Design The PlayStation Vita design is a direct descendant of the PSP, a natural progression because not much needed to be changed. There were some great enhancements to make it a bit friendlier to modern game play. One notable enhancement is the fact that it now has dual analog sticks. This feature really...

Marvel's X-Sanction Miniseries and Avengers VS X-men

This past week Marvel released issue 4 of 4 in it's miniseries "X-Sanction". For those of you who don't already know, X-Sanction is the transitional miniseries supposed to tie the current Marvel Universe with the upcoming storyline, "Avengers VS X-men". Issue 4 was just released this past week, and we're all dying to know- what's going to happen next!? [SPOILERS BELOW] Let me just get right into it. The cover is misleading. Most covers are, but for a miniseries and such a huge one at that, I was personally disappointed to see the cover-art NOT have the costumes shown. It was so cool to see Wolverine in his X-force suit, and Spider-man...
