‘Cradle of Life’ lacks charm of its predecessor
Angelina Jolie brings game character to lif
‘Days of Future Past’ a superb addition to ‘X-Men’ franchise
‘The Winter Soldier’ a thrilling blend of tension, action
‘Maze Runner’ surprisingly intense for latest teen book-turned-film
’21 Jump Street’ remake flat-out hilarious
I’ve been playing video games for many years, but it wasn’t until late 2013 (with the release of “Grand Theft Auto V”) that I started writing reviews. So I consider […]

Over there! See that monster spewing out … whatever that cool-looking green slime is? Let’s go kill it! But […]
‘Horrible Bosses’ sequel raunchy in all the right ways I’ve never been much for comedies. They just don’t do it for me. Give me a horror/sci-fi flick any day of […]
Newest ‘Hunger Games’ long on exposition, short on action You can call her a revolutionary, but Katniss Everdeen probably wouldn’t appreciate it much. It doesn’t help that she has the […]
‘Interstellar’ a gripping tale of what could have been — and what may yet come It’s oddly strange, and yet somehow comforting, how tales of space travel capture our imaginations. […]
‘Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition’ a gorgeous update Some games basically scream for a modern-day update, sequel or re-release. (Think “Final Fantasy VII,” for one.) Others stand the test of time […]
First chapter of ‘Majestic Nights’ questions Apollo moon landing With a bangin’ synth board cranking out some killer beats (and more than just a touch of paranoia in the air), […]
Editor’s note: So, “Destiny” is an enormous game, far too expansive to review within a week’s time. So I decided to follow the lead of several other outlets and break […]
‘DBZ: Battle of Gods’ sure to please longtime fans It’s been, what? More than 17 years? That’s far too long a time to wait for my fix of “Dragon Ball […]
‘Let’s Be Cops’ fails to capitalize on its talented leads From its strained opening to its ignominious conclusion, “Let’s Be Cops” challenges us to see how long we can grit […]
‘Watch Dogs’ a hacker’s paradise — slightly predictable, still enjoyable In the world of “Watch Dogs,” pilfering bank accounts and digging into someone’s most personal secrets is merely a click […]

‘A Dame to Kill For’ has the look, just not the soul Gone is the one-two punch of stunning visuals combined with gory noir a hair’s breadth away from being […]
‘No Going Back’ exemplifies storytelling in video games
Megan Fox rocked; everything else, not so much Look, I’m disappointed. I’m just going to get this out of the way right now. You know how I know I’m disappointed? […]
‘Amid the Ruins’ hits a lull, but edges us closer to conclusion
