Review: Lexicon by Max Barry

Lexicon is, for me, one of those books where it’s past midnight and you think “Okay, I really need to get some sleep, I need to put the book down right now. So I will read one more chapter, and that’s it.” And four chapters later you think “Okay, maybe I’ll just have an extra

Battlefield 4 is the best shooter of the next gen consoles so far

It seems like just yesterday that we were booting up our consoles and PCs and loading them up with “Battlefield 3”. But, alas, that was two long years ago. The good news, however, is that we have a brand new “Battlefield” game to sink tens of thousands of hours into. Now normally, there was a

The Sandman: Overture – Special Edition #1

Chances are good you already know that the first issue of Neil Gaiman’s new Sandman series was released this past October; as one of the best-selling comics of 2013, it created quite a splash.

Review: The 5th Wave

I only meant to read the first 100 pages of Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave, in an attempt to get familiar with some of the science-fiction that was published this year (somehow I spent most of the year reading older books.) Then I almost didn’t finish the first 50 pages, because I didn’t think I

Movie Issues: Frozen

It could be argued that most Disney Animated Features could be Broadway musicals, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen one like Frozen, where you can see the show that it’s destined to be. With massive female empowerment for mothers and daughters, Disney smartly packaged this to hit all the right marks it’s supposed

Movie Review: Delivery Man

He’s unreliable, always late, and basically a lovable loser who at one time had a steady gig as a fertility clinic donor. But the clinic overused his sperm, resulting in him being the biological father of 533 children, of whom 142

[Xbox One] Hands on with Forza 5

The first of the Next-Gen racers has arrived, and at about 120mph this game is a sight to be seen. As Forza 5 is Microsoft’s flagship racer and an Xbox One launch title, I couldn’t resist. I’m not much of a racer fan (unless you count F-Zero GX and the Mach 5) but I was
