El Paso's Rosa's Cantina Among Top 10 Must-Visit Bars in America

Mike Adams — Tue, 14 May 2013 21:24:21 +0000

There are those people whose bucket list consists of spending at least one summer in Paris before being bagged, tagged and greeted by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. And then, there are those whose aspirations to fulfill their lifelong dreams are a bit more modest – like getting sauced in some of the most culturally significant bars in America.

WWE Smackdown Recap: Racist Dinosaur Hands

Brandon Mendelson — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:36:41 +0000

When they first started showing highlights from past editions of Monday Night Raw, Triple H did a segment where, without any sort of irony, he said his favorite Raw moment was when he returned from his quadricep injury in 2002. So basically, in the thousand episodes of a show that’s been on the air since 1993, Triple H’s favorite moment involved … Triple H.

WWE 'Monday Night Raw' Recap – [5/14/12]

Aubrey Sitterson — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:07:02 +0000

This is a tough time of year for WWE. Less than a month after the absolutely colossal ‘WrestleMania XXVIII,’ the promotion put on the shockingly good ‘Extreme Rules’ pay-per-view, and then less than 30 days after that, they’re back with this Sunday’s ‘Over the Limit.’ While perhaps not as explosive a card as ‘Extreme Rules’ or ‘WrestleMania,’ this Sunday’s show has a fair amount going for it and this week’s ‘Monday Night Raw’ kept building toward the event.

'Sniper Elite V2′ Game Review

Alex Riviello — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:44:10 +0000

With a title like that you’d expect nothing but the very best in long-distance warfare, and thankfully Sniper Elite V2 delivers, like a bullet at 200 meters.

'Mortal Kombat' Vita Review

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 01 May 2012 18:00:41 +0000

It may be called Mortal Kombat, but it keeps coming back with the regularity of an immortal serial killer in a slasher flick. After an April 2011 reboot, February saw the game come out again as the Komplete Edition, along with all the downloadable costumes and characters plus the 1995 movie.

'Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances' Game Review

Real-time strategy snobs insist that the only platform their games of choice work on is the PC, and for good reason.

'Speed Racer: The Beginning' Mobile Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:00:02 +0000

Thirty years ago, game developers had a simple formula for adapting any movie or TV show — take the main character, plop it in a side-scroller and force it to dodge and/or kill pixelated objects and enemies that vaguely resembled stuff in the show.

'The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings' Enhanced Edition Game Review

Alex Riviello — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:00:16 +0000

PC gamers have known how brilliant CD Projekt RED’s Witcher series is for some time now, but now Xbox 360 gamers can finally see what the fuss is about with the new improved Enhanced Edition.

'Midway Arcade' Mobile Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:00:20 +0000

Imagine you could step into a time machine and revisit all your favorite moments. Pretty cool so far, right? Only this time machine doesn’t let you walk around and enjoy yourself — it keeps you locked inside the clunky device, forced to peek out through a muddy, distorted window. When you try to relive your glory days, you end up screwing them up and ruining all your memories.

Ford Mutilates Mustang's Classic, Iconic Design For 2015 Model

Danny Gallagher — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:34:09 +0000

There are few things in life that are treated with as much reverence and respect as the Ford Mustang. Sure there may have been some noticeable changes in the later models from its earlier concepts and classic originals, but even the most modern edition has been able to maintain some semblance of its unique and iconic look…until now.

WWE 'SmackDown' Live Recap – [4/10/12]

Aubrey Sitterson — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:03:03 +0000

As opposed to the normal pretape-on-Tuesday to air-on-Friday deal, this week’s ‘SmackDown’ ran live on Tuesday night, presumably as a way to clear the deck and rearrange everyone’s travel schedule for WWE’s impending European tour.

'Anomaly: Warzone Earth' Game Review

Alex Riviello — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:49:55 +0000

By now most everyone is sick of Tower Defense games. They seem the go-to genre for smaller developers and we’ve been inundated with subpar entries, perhaps because it’s easy to think of a new gimmick or theme for them and slap right on. In my mind nothing much has bested Desktop Tower Defense, the original browser game which almost single-handedly kicked off the popularity of the style, although there have been a few notable exceptions like Plants Vs. Zombies and Pixeljunk Monsters.

'Ridge Racer Unbounded' Game Review

Alex Riviello — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:00:53 +0000

Get past the silly name and you’ll find out that Ridge Racer Unbounded is one of the best of the series. While it doesn’t feature open world gameplay like the title infers, if you prefer arcade-style racers (as I do) you’ll definitely enjoy this game, which features an amount of destruction far beyond previous installments.

'Star Wars' For Kinect Game Review

Phil Villarreal — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:30:16 +0000

We’re not sure whether the developers of ‘Kinect Star Wars’ actively hate George Lucas’s brainchild and sought to mock it mercilessly, or just don’t understand the appeal of lightsabers and Jedi knights and just threw something together in a crude attempt at sympathizing with the franchise’s fanatics. Whatever the case, ‘Kinect Star Wars’ is the most laughable addition to the family since the 1978 ‘Star Wars Holiday Special.’

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Game Review

If you’re going to re-release what, at its core, is basically the same game every year and expect fans to keep forking over their $60 again and again, you’d better add something worthwhile.
