Netflix is truly what I would call a “virtual media appliance.” For many PS3 owners, Netflix has become so a part of our lives that we often don’t think about; it’s there, it’s on, and it just works.  If you’ve been a legacy owner of Netflix and use it frequently, you’re going to have some [...]

PS3 Review – Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Friday, July 1st, 2011

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a tough game to review. Not because it’s incredibly bad, and certainly not because it’s the game of year.  The only way I can truly describe it is it’s like going out to dinner at an ok restaurant for the first time. The food wasn’t bad enough that you [...]
