Beyond: Two Souls Review

 

Beyond: Two Souls is an attempt by the French studio Quantic Dream to evolve video games beyond being just interactive versions of big dumb action movies, and into a true storytelling medium. Which is what they previously tried (and failed) to do with 2005’s Indigo Prophecy and 2010’s Heavy Rain. But while this PlayStation 3 exclusive, published by Sony, has some of the same flaws, those flaws aren’t fatal this time around, and if you’re willing to give yourself the time to get used to these shortcomings, you’ll be rewarded with a rather unique and engaging adventure.

“Robot Chicken: Season 6” DVD, Blu-Ray Review

 

For years, Adult Swim’s stop-motion sketch comedy show Robot Chicken has skewered everything from toys, video games, and other cartoons to movies, TV shows, and celebrities. But the reason it works so well is because it’s made by people who are big fans of the things they’re skewering. Which is good for fans of this show since it means their DVDs and Blu-rays are put together by people who know what fans of Robot Chicken would want on their DVDs and Blu-rays.

My friend Raymond, however, was a longtime smoker until he switched over to electric cigarettes. Now, on his website, RPad.TV, he covers electric cigarettes, reviewing both the machines and the vaping liquids you put in them.

EXCLUSIVE HANDS-ON GAME PREVIEW: Rekoil

At a recent press event in Los Angeles, 505 Games showed off Rekoil, an online-only, modern military first-person shooter for PCs and Xbox 360s that seems squarely aimed (no pun intended) at serious fans of the genre. But what makes it interesting is not what they’ve put into it, but what they’ve taken out.
