Halo 4 Review

James "Bubba" Meeks — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:01:30 +0000

Last week we saw the return of Master Chief after a five year absence in the Halo series. The franchise is now under the helm of 343 Industries with their first title Halo 4. We have not seen Spartan 117 since Halo 3 back in 2007. The series was originally created and ran by Bungie until 2010 with Halo: Reach as their final title in the series. Now the Chief is back and he has not lost his touch.

Drake Baer — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 20:29:32 +0000

Is Flea the most excellent dude is rock? Probably. Is the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist’s debut EP ‘Helen Burns’ the most delightful surprise of the year? Certainly. The album is named after, and dedicated to, a character in Charlotte Bronte’s ‘Jane Eyre.’ Helen is Jane’s faithful, compassionate best friend, one that left a mark [...]

Two Door Cinema Club, 'Sleep Alone' – Song Review

Drake Baer — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 14:08:13 +0000

While ‘Sleep Alone,’ the newest from Two Door Cinema Club, is soaring, searching and sweet, it leaves something to be desired. The lead single from the Northern Irish band’s second studio album, ‘Beacon,’ is heavy into the Death Cab for Cutie vibe, with frontman Alex Trimble supplying the polite croons instead of Ben Gibbard. The U.K. [...]

He sure is cute but he is also a rude, crude, pot-smoking, foul-mouthed teddy bear aptly named Ted.

The Dirty Projectors are gifted with one of the most unique sounds in expanse of indie-dom, an aesthetic that’s distilled in ‘Dance for You,’ the second track released from their upcoming sixth studio album ‘Swing Lo Magellan.’ With a crisp guitar in the right ear and handclaps in the left, frontman Dave Longstreth wanders about all [...]

Red Hot Chili Peppers, 'Brendan's Death Song' – Song Review

Drake Baer — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 20:55:36 +0000

The newest single from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is an anthem dedicated to a dearly departed friend. It’s half funeral march and half rock ’n’ roll wake. The Brendan in question is Brendan Mullen, a Los Angeles club owner that helped give the living legends their first big break. As the L.A. Times reports, [...]

'Cool Guy' Mobile App Review

Phil Villarreal — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:30:43 +0000

Some guys are blessed with a natural sense of style. They choose the right look effortlessly, turn ladies’ heads and get other dudes to subconsciously copy their looks. These guys actually understand what matches what without having to pull out a color chart and a protractor. We are not those guys. We sort of hate [...]

'The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword' is the Only Reason To Still Own the Wii [Game Review]

Phil Villarreal — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:00:23 +0000

Mock us if you must, but we’ve always been suckers for running around pretend forests while wearing green skirt-tunics and imagining we’re pointy-eared, boy heroes. And now, thanks to the spectacular ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword,’ we’re adding earrings to the ensemble. Would it help to justify our Zelda obsession if we added that [...]
