Review: Six-Gun Snow White

Love is the color of blood. Love is what grown folk do to each other because the law frowns on killing… I read the description for Six Gun Snow White on Goodreads: “…Valente transports the title’s heroine to a masterfully evoked Old West…” and thought, oh well, I’m not much of a fan of Westerns,

Movie Issues: The Monuments Men

The Monuments Men is a look into the world of war through the eyes of the people who see beyond the fighting, who see what happens once the fighting is over. What happens when we, as a society, lose our history and where we’ve come from? That’s just one reason why The Monuments Men did what

Review: Sandkings – A collection of short stories by George R.R. Martin

If you follow many of the posts on Pixelated Geek (and, you know, own a computer and have access to the internet) you’re probably already aware that the new season of Game of Thrones starts on April 6. Obviously that means the Tumblr posts, plot speculations, and the rivalry between fans of the TV series

Tech Review: Roccat Kone XTD – Mac OSX

Gaming has finally made it’s way to the Mac, and between the App Store and Steam there is a rather large selection of games to choose from. What’s even nicer is to see developers starting to add the Mac support to their gaming peripherals. Roccat has tossed their hat into the ring adding support for

Review: “Tales of Phantasia” for iOS

The classic RPG Tales of Phantasia has long been revered by those in the know. Released for the Super Famicom in 1995, it boasted incredible graphics, a not particularly original but still entertaining story, and an innovative real-time battle system. Sadly, the original version never made it to the U.S.. Over time it built a following. In

Review: Three short reads

Huge, epic books are fun, but sometimes it’s nice to grab a short book off the shelf. One can try something new, or return to a familiar world, without the long-term commitment of some of those frighteningly giant, phonebook-sized novels. (I’m looking at you, The Stand. And you, Atlas Shrugged.) With that in mind I

Review – Insurgency

In the fall of last year, I had the opportunity to do an extended preview of New World Interactive‘s Insurgency – and was, to put it mildly, not very impressed. Insurgency follows in the footsteps of a great heaping mass of cookie-cutter tactical class-based multi-player shooters, and did so with very little in the way of

Review: Shadows From Norwood

Crazy people aren’t crazy all the time, you just have to know how to handle them. I’ve spent worse evenings. I don’t think I’ve spent weirder ones. I was a little confused at first when I found Shadows From Norwood in the science fiction section, since it’s very obviously horror. And like a lot of
