Wii Fit
Blurb: The Nintendo Wii has been one of the biggest successes in video game history. I have no statistical data with which to back that statement, but take my word for it. Damn near everyone I know owns a Wii, including my mom. Even now, a year and a half after its launch, youre lucky if you find one available to buy without checking eBay.More...

Pros: Losing your fat ass Cons: Having to get up to lose your fat ass Verdict: If you are serious about losing weight and want to have fun doing it, this is the best way. |
Video Games
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Blurb: Anyone who owned a Nintendo 64 or a Nintendo Gamecube has probably heard of Super Smash Bros. It's a series of fighting games that pits a bunch of famous Nintendo characters against each other in fierce battles to the death. For a Nintendo fan, there’s nothing cooler than playing as Mario and being able to beat the crap out of Princess Peach. More...

Pros: Graphics, Classic Sounds, Customizable controls Cons: Have to unlock cool characters, strange single player Verdict: If you own a Wii you should own this game. |
Call of Duty 4: Modern Walfare
Blurb: I'm the kind of guy that loves the idea of starting a new, epic game, especially when said game gets really high reviews all around. Unfortunately, I'm also the kind of guy that quickly gets caught up in other things (namely, life), forgets what I had been doing in said game, and then quits playing it due to frustration at having no idea whatÕs going on. Call of Duty 4 was different, for better or worse. |
Pros: Intense action, great story, online play can be addictive Cons: Gernades are hard to notice, short campaign mode Verdict: Must buy for a first person shooter |
Movies
Cloverfield
Blurb: As Iâm sure you know by now, the purpose of this site is to provide you with simple reviews of things so that you can make a quick decisions as to whether or not you might be interested in them. Well hereâs my simple review of the recently released movie, Cloverfield: Itâs amazing, go see it now. |
Pros: Badass action/horror/monster movie Cons: Camcorder video may make you dizzy Verdict: Lives up to the hype. Go see it. |
I Am Legend
Blurb: It's rare that a movie can completely surprise me nowadays. Trailers usually give so much of a movie away that by the time you've finally watched it, you feel like you had already seen it once before. That was not the case for me when I saw I Am Legend. I went into it completely unaware of the plot and I think it helped me enjoy the movie a lot more than if I knew exactly what to expect. |
Pros: If you can see it without knowing the plot, it'll blow you away, great acting, great visuals Cons: If you know what to expect, some of the shock might not hit as hard as it could, some plot holes Verdict: Check it out |
Music
Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace: Totally Decen
Blurb: Let me just say that I am a massive Foo Fighters fan. Granted, when I first saw their video for Big Me, I thought they were a band of gay dudes. Give me a breakâ¦I was like 11. After hearing their second album, âThe Colour and the Shape,â however, I promptly gave myself 30 lashings for my sins and learned how to play Monkey Wrench on guitar. More...

Pros:It's the f*#king Foo Fighters! Cons: Doesn't totally rock your face off. Verdict: Buy it if you're a Foo Fighters fan |
Gadgets
Apple iPod Shuffle
Blurb: I am a huge fan of Apple products. With each new product release, I have to try to justify why I need it so that I donât feel guilty when I cave in and buy it. With the release of the redesigned iPod shuffle, I found myself in quite a predicament. I loved the new design, but I already had four iPods (yes, 4) so how could i possibly justify getting a fifth? |
Pros:extremely light, cool wearable design, easy to set up and use Cons: so light that you might not realize that you've lost it Verdict: worth the price even if you have another iPod |
XBox HD-DVD Player
Blurb: If you have an XBox 360 and you want HD movies, I definitely recommend this player. What it lacks in audio playback it more than makes up for in its price. More...
|
Pros: Inexpensive if you have an XBox 360, Great picture quality, Can lay flat or stand on end, making placement flexible Cons: Expensive if you don't have an XBox 360, Incompatible with some HD audio formats, Disc spinning can get loud Verdict: Worth buying for any XBox 360 owner. |
Products
N-Ice Rack Beer Pong Rack
Blurb: Every once in a while, a product comes along that makes us all smack our foreheads and say, "Why didn't I think of that?!" That's exactly what came to my mind when I saw the N-Ice Rack. It's a simply brilliant concept and a product that will come in handy at quite a few parties. More...
|
Pros: Good price, perfect for the average to regular beer pong players Cons: They take up a good amount of freezer space. Verdict: Go for it! |
