Review – Movie – Transformers

This is where I give my thoughts on the Transformers movie. Instead of regurgitating the same garbage about how great the special effects were and how it’s the “action movie of the year” and all. It's a bumbling mess of a collection of random bull shit, much like this film franchise. Yeah, great special effects. Things were integrated pretty seamlessly into the non CGI parts. The problem is that the action is so cluttered and messy you can’t tell what the hell is going on 90% of the time. Robots engage in combat and instead of getting shots of the…

Review – Transformers – Movie – Jazz

There have been a lot of rehashed Transformers characters since G1.  Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Ironhide, Mirage, Prowl, they all top a list of popular G1 characters that have seen their share of remakes over the years.  Some of these made sense such as pretty much any of the Starscreams.  Others were kind of odd such as Energon’s formula car Prowl.  Still, there are those characters that were both popular and important to the show that haven’t had such a treatment.  Soundwave comes to mind.  He was Megatron’s right hand man.  He’s gotten what?  That Cybertron stealth bomber?  Then there’s one…

We've had a ton of Megatron's and Starscreams but Soundwave has had what, that Beast Wars bat that turned into an Alligator? I've always thought Soundwave was cooler than Starscream personally, and who is more deserving of a remake than Megatron's right hand man? Of course the original Soundwave was a cassette deck. So how do you remake him? Cd Player? MP3 Player? Stereo system maybe? The newer lines haven't really used the idea of mass displacement. It's really…

Review – Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)

Ah yes, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.  Things finally start to come together for out portable Castlevania titles.  This one is set pretty far in the future compared to most of the other Castlevania games so the overall styling is a bit of a treat as well, well, it could have been… The Belmonts are pretty much the heroes of the Castlevania series but really there’s probably as many if not more games NOT starring Belmonts than there are games with them.  This game is one of those games, starring the fruitiest hero of any game in the series, Soma Cruz. …
