Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

The J Man May 17, 2012

It’s the movie tie-in they say is better than the movie it’s based on. After playing, I’m inclined to believe them. Hop behind the welder’s goggles of master criminal Richard B. Riddick, and show them why there ain’t no cell can contain your hell.

The J Man January 10, 2012

In the show’s second season, Acclaim must have wanted to make a game before South Park fever might instantly disappear. Hence, the first of the show’s infamously lacking, rushed electronic tie-ins – specifically, its even worse PC port.

Halo’s anniversary was totally like a month ago! Join us as we celebrate with a review almost as late as the PC port was!

Looks like we caught this one right in the middle of absorbing the 80’s film! It’s not a perfect imitation… but it’s close enough to be scary. Burn it!

Independence Day

The J Man July 4, 2011

We’re not above taking full advantage of obvious holiday tie-ins! Hop in the cockpit and help J Man knock some (admittedly huge) alien nasties out of the sky.

Aliens, guns, and David Duchovny, in that order.
