After almost a year after the delay to convert to 3D, GI Joe Retaliation is out and in my, Meddatron's mind, it was worth the wait. Read More »

  While I will admit to the fact that I just might be an impatient fool, Hasbro’s recent M.O. of showing what will come and then pushing things back or omitting things entirely, I decided it was better to jump while the price was good, rather than wait for several months only to find that the prices had tripled because Hasbro pushed things back again. I miss the money I spent, but I don’t regret the purchase one bit. With that said, let’s jump into the review! Packaging None. Since I bought this off an EBAY seller because I’m an impatient fool, the packaging was a bubblewrapped baggie with the figure and accessories. From pictures online, it does seem that I received all the accessories that were supposed to come with him, so I have no complaints at all. He ... Read More »

The Medal of Honor series rebooted in 2010 and I really enjoyed the game giving it a high review score.  The direct sequel was released this October titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter.  Will it live up to it’s predecessor? Warfighter’s campaign mode picks up right after the original game as you continue to fight the terrorist’s to prevent them from using the PETN weapon.  You will travel to Bosnia, Somalia, Pakistan and the Philippines. The story features two soldiers as you jump back and forth between their tales.  Stump who is a Recon Marine turned Navy SEAL and Preacher who you will remember from the first game.  The game also features Dusty as he operates from a command center for most of the game. I really wanted to enjoy this game and even pre-ordered it however the campaign was a ... Read More »

We'll kick off the first of my front page reviews with Marvel's Hawkeye from the Avengers movie line. I'm not sure what to say offhand, other than I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed. Read More »

Resistance 2 was released in November 2008 and is the direct sequel to one of my favorite and best selling PS3 games.  The game picks up right after Resistance: Fall of Man.  You continue as American Soldier Nathan Hale fighting the alien race known as Chimera. Immediately after your fight in Europe,  Hale is extracted by a Special Research Projects Administration VTOL and brought to Iceland.  After surviving a Chimera attack,  Hale is introduced to a group of Special Forces known as the Sentinals. Sentinals are soldiers who have been affected by the Chimera virus much like Hale and have super natural abilities. As you continue through the story,  Hale gets promoted to Lieutenant and the Chimera invades the United States.  You will battle the Chimera all over the country including California,  Idaho,  Utah and Illinois. You will experience a ... Read More »

One of my favorite video game genres is Real Time Strategy and these games are primarily available for PC’s. With me being a console gamer most of the time,  I don’t get to enjoy the RTS games like I want to.  I was searching around for a decent RTS console game and came across R.U.S.E.  The game received some decent reviews and recommendations and I decided to snag a copy off eBay. R.U.S.E. is set during WWII and features a wide variety of game modes.  Before I discuss the modes and story in detail,  I want to cover my favorite part about the game,  the zoom in/out battlefield.  Zoom all the way out and you see a table top map with blue and red markings for troops.  Zoom all the way in and you see actual soldiers, tanks, artillery,  buildings, ...

Back in 1997 Duke Nukem was on top of the Gaming World.  Duke Nukem 3D was one of the most popular games of all time and it’s sequel was in development.  What turned out to be one of the most bizarre developments of all time across every media platform,  Duke Nukem Forever didn’t get released until June 2011. That’s right folks,  this game was 15 years in the making.  For 15 years fans of the series went through a roller coaster of ups and downs.  This game suffered through lawsuits,  company changes,  system generation changes and 4 Presidential terms before it was finally released. Duke Nukem Forever became a joke amongst the gaming community and the game went through one more final delay in the months before it was officially released.  The question that everyone had on their mind after ...
