Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Hardhead

Of all the Headmasters, Hardhead is one that's really been hurting for an update for a good while.  There was a repaint of the old SWAT truck Onslaught that looks nothing like Hardhead.  Not much else other than the original toy.  Part of the travesty of his lack of an update is that Hardhead was a major player during the early runs of IDW's Transformers comics, back during the time they were on Earth.  He was one of the core handful of Autobots on earth, though he wasn't a headmaster in that storyline.  That was back before Hasbro constantly made…

S.H. Figuarts – Sailor Moon

Someone at Bandai must have realized that there is a lot of easy reuse potential in a highly desired show like Sailor Moon or something, because there has been a slew of releases in the Figuarts line for this popular anime in recent years.  Sailor Moon is definitely one of the most well known classic anime properties.   It seems to have opened up the gates a bit for other older titles.  We've been getting figures from Ranma 1/2 as well.  It makes me wonder how long until they start doing Figuarts of Tenchi characters, another popular title from that era…

Review – Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)

2013 - Quantic Dream - 1 Player (ish) The Good Interesting and ambition idea and gameplay. Impressive graphics. Lots of choices that shape the story a bit. The Bad Convoluted story that doesn't leave a ton of questions but it's super great. Many Sequences are completely pointless and superfluous to the plot. The game's gimmick is neat but leaves a lot to be desired with it's limitations. tl;dr Sterilized Version Beyond: Two Souls is an interesting narrative game from Quantic Dream and David Cage that is similar to their previous titles such as Heavy Rain and Farenheit. It's much less…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Cable

It's not every day we get a mother/son combo in a wave of Marvel Legends but here we are with Cable and Jean Grey.  Ok, technically Cable's mother is a clone of Jean Grey but that's just the way the kooky storylines of the X-men work.  I mean Cable really looks like he's probably older than jean anyway, which he probably is since he comes from the future.  The reality is, Cable likely exists in this wave to accompany Deadpool, since Cable and Deadpool are partners from time to time. It's kind of a shame he's not a better Cable,…

Review – Star Wars – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I'm going to cut to the chase here a bit.  I enjoyed it.  I have been more excited for this movie than I am for Episode 8, especially after how patronizingly fanservicy Episode 7 ended up being.  There are some dodgy bits, especially during the middle act, but it's decent overall. What Rogue One does the best, is being a good movie set in the Star Wars Universe.  Ok, sure, that's what it is.  I get that.  What I mean though is, it's not part of the "Main Saga".  It's a side story, like other classics such as The Ewok…
