Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Mindwipe

Continuing on with the updated Decepticon Headmasters, today's review cover's Titans Return Mindwipe.  Wave 1 gave us Skullcruncher, the first beast based headmaster, Wave 2 gives us Mindwipe and Weirdwolf.  All of the updated Headmasters figures are very close in design and look to their original G1 counterparts with the exception of Mindwipe.  While Mindwipe captures the essence of the Bat to Robot, he has a very different transformation and much more proportioned look overall. That design change isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just something that may bother people looking for a really pure "update".  Titans Return Mindwipe is…

Review – New Super Mario Brothers 2 (3DS)

The Good It's Mario, it's pretty good in all the ways Mario is good. The return of the Raccoon Leaf, generally reminiscent of SMB 3 all around Build in mechanisms for if things get too tough The Bad It's Mario…  It's not a particularly original Mario either There are a few tricky points but not much is super difficult, which makes the game go by pretty quick The Coin Collecting aspect is interesting but serves little purpose In Depth If there's one consistency in Nintendo's world, it's Mario.  I'm not even going to attempt to figure out just how many…

Review – Movie – xXx (2002)

Around the same era that Vin Diesel started making his mark as a tough guy Street Racer in The Fast and the Furious, he starred in a similar movie called xXx, or Triple X.  It's similar in that Vin Diesel plays the same sort of underground tough guy bad ass character and both films are sort of designed for the X-treme audience.  xXx take this whole concept to the X-treme level though. Aside from general tone and Vin Diesel's character, xXx and Fast and the Furious don't share a whole lot else in common.  At it's core, xXx is essentially…

Review – Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

2016 - EA DICE - Single Player/ Online Mutiplayer The Good Visuals are top notch and dense World evolves and changes as the battle continues Massive miltiplayer battles that really feel like a war. The Bad Dense visuals can be extremely confusing most of the time Leveling process is extremely slow Price (Game, Micro Transactions, DLC, etc) Note, I generally try to use my own screen shots but despite my best efforts with several tools, I couldn't get this game to TAKE screen shots.  Chock that into the negatives if you want.  These shots are pretty indicative of what things…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Rogue

I've always really liked Rogue as a character.  She's generally fun, she has an interesting power with interesting positives and negatives, her overall design is nice as well.  It probably helps that in the old cartoon series she was always paired with Gambit, whom I also really like as far as X-men go.  The point is, I am kind of biased towards Rogue, especially this particular design, which in general is one of her more popular designs. Unfortunately, there has only been one other figure of this design in this size, back in the Toybiz line, and it is god…
