"Just how snake-like will this list be?"

Well this has been a longtime coming. Many moons ago, I decided to compile a list of best Disney Villains. Though, through various setbacks, getting busy with other things, and downright procrastinations, this list kept finding its way back to the end of the line. So I decided to put my foot down and just finish this darn thing. Now, keep in mind that this is a very ‘literal’ list of Disney villains. That is to say, it’s based solely on villains from Disney animated films. Live-action Disney villains, Pixar villains and the like will have to wait for their own lists. Anyway, here are the top ten Disney villains, as chosen by me based on their wickedness, cunning, and all-around memorability. Read more

Okay, I know I previously promised my Yammy Awards would be “sometime in the earlier parts of January,” and obviously the earlier parts of January are past. But I still hope to have my video game portions of my Yammy Awards ready by the end of January or beginning of February. Though before that’s done, I should not only have my Top 10 Disney Villains list done, but hopefully reviews for Rayman Origins and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as well! I will continue my movie reviews afterwards, and hopefully in not too long I’ll have my movie awards done as well. So yeah, there’s some stuff.

Last week I had the pleasure of seeing one of the very finest of Disney movies, Beauty and the Beast, on the big screen again. Though something I have seen on comments on various sites has dumbfounded me: Some people are complaining about classic movies being re-released….

"Two streaks, speed by!"

Sonic Generations serves as SEGA’s “20th birthday present” to their most iconic character, Sonic the Hedgehog. To celebrate these twenty years, Generations looks to combine elements from Sonic’s glory days in 2D with those of his 3D games of inconsistent qualities. Recent Sonic games have been picking up steam after years of hedgehog mediocrity, but does Generations continue to bring Sonic back into the spotlight for a memorable 20th anniversary? Or is it a repeat of the blue hedgehog’s 15th anniversary “present?”

Being released in October, this list is ancient by internet standards. But being a fan and lover of animated films, I can’t help but write about things like this (and I just found out about it, or I would have written this sooner). This is a list of “best animated films ever” as chosen by Total Film (a British magazine or something). Here is the list with some commentary by me. Read more

"Despite that soft-served flip of a hairdo, Tin Tin epitomizes "action hero."

The Adventures of Tin Tin, based on the classic comic books by Georges Remi (or Herge), is a motion-capture adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. Given Spielberg’s history with adventure films, Tin Tin has a lot to live up to. And being motion-capture, this is also Spielberg’s directorial debut in an “animated” film (at least, as animated as motion-capture qualifies), so Tin Tin also has a lot to prove. So just how does this animated adventure by America’s most famous director fair?

"Riding along in my automobile!"

Mario Kart 7, the most bluntly named entry thus far in the series, is the 3DS’ iteration of one of Nintendo’s most popular series. But just how well does Mario Kart 7 stack up against its predecessors? Does it race to the finish? Or have Mario and friends hit a bump in the road? Read more

"I hear voices in this box art."

WWE ‘12 is the newest game based on WWE, and looks to ‘reboot’ the WWE video games after years and years of the Smackdown vs. RAW series. But does this reboot bring all the right tools to breathe new life into the series? Or did it take a few too many chair shots?

Although this isn’t entirely new news, this information having originally surfaced in July of 2010, not much was heard of it since then, leaving some to have believed it to be mere rumors. But yesterday, Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has stated once again that he is working on a brand new, original game. That is to say, a game that isn’t in one of his established series, and his first new, original, character-based game since the original Pikmin in 2001!

And this is on top of the already announced Pikmin 3 and Super Mario Wii U titles, meaning those rumors that were floating around of Miyamoto’s retirement were greatly exaggerated. Also like those games, nothing is really known about them other than the fact that they are being made.

What new gaming experiences and innovations does the world’s most acclaimed game designer have in store? I guess the answer to that will be a test of patience.

I thought I’d do something different and review the six-minute preview of The Dark Knight Rises that is playing with Imax screenings of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (it in itself will be reviewed soon). Read more
