Review – Faerie Solitaire (PC)

Subsoap | 03.15.2009 Solitaire is a game that has like 500 zillion variations.  In fact, Solitaire is more of a genre of card game played alone than a type of game itself.  Faerie Solitaire, as far as I know, isn’t based on a previous “classic” style of Solitaire, but then, the reference material surrounding this game isn’t real plentiful.  It certainly isn’t the standard 7 piles, flip 3, collect Ace through King solitaire.

Review – Pirates of Black Cove (PC)

NOTE: This game was received free as a review copy) Paradox Interactive | 08.02.2011 It’s not too often you see a Pirate themed game, despite the popularity of Pirates.  Ok, more accurately, you don’t too often see a Pirate themed game that includes many of the traditional aspects of pirating all rolled up into one game.  You will get pirate ships in combat or you’ll get control of a pirate battling piratey villains.  Pirates of Black Cove combines both of these and mixes in some RTS and RPG elements for an interesting pirate experience. You play as one of three…

Review – Movie – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

I am not going to do a review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II.  There isn’t any point, this si the 8th movie in a connected overall story and it’s the final chapter.  Even if it were total garbage, people who want to see it will see it.  Instead I will give some thoughts on the movie and the story and the series here in lieu of a true review.  If you want a review, here it is, this movie is pretty much everything you’re probably expecting.  If you’re read the book there will not be any…
