The first of many (of my) must-see movies for 2010 was released today, in the form of Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland. Let me start off by saying, in general Tim Burton is the type of director where, when you hear the name you either think genius or madman. There is really no middle ground with this guy. Either you loved Sweeny Todd or you hated it and probably didn't even ever finish it. Either you felt the pain of Edward Scissorhands, or you were just bored with it. While I will agree...
Get Back In The Kitchen Woman!: MAG vs JadeValentine
I'm sure anyone who follows my GameBetties Facebook updates and my numerous articles here already know my little infatuation for this new game by Zipper called MAG or Massive Action Game. This game came out January 26th, 2010 but I had the pleasure of participating in the close and open beta that went on last year. Although I confess I only did a couple bug reports but I noticed they were fixed in the full game, so I guess that made me feel a bit important in contributing to the full game’s ou...

Great games have some basic components to them. Good storyline, interesting characters, solid controls, and fun gameplay that doesn’t get boring in the hours required to complete the game. Dark Void has some of these components, but lacks in others.
For me, it had a good ...

This gem was almost lost to us, but was saved in the end. And good thing it was, because this is the best movie based game I have ever played. If you enjoyed Ghostbusters the movie, you will enjoy the game. The story was written by the original writers (who also happen to be 2 main characters in the movies/game) and is voiced all the origina...

EA and Westwood studios decided to give us PS3 users a big present. They upgraded the graphics for this edition and added some cool bonus features. The upgraded graphics do require a download onto your hard drive. The game has an impressive list of A and B list actors, and the campy cut scenes are great fun. The team has also inc...

This game was the last one made by Ensemble studios, the makers of Age of Empires. A great loss to the gaming community, especially to RTS gamers. The reward for making a kick ass game for Microsoft seems to be folding your company. Thanks Great Evil One.
I recently played Halo ODST, and was greatly disappointed with it. The reason was not gamepla...

I received 2 flavors of Gamer Grub (PB&J and Pizza) from my wife for Christmas. They also have Wasabi and Chocolate flavors. Of the two I tried, I liked PB&J the best. The best parts are the dried strawberries and the peanut butter chips. I wasn’t wild about the peanuts, as they didn’t have extra flavoring. I figured it was to adhere to the tagline for...
gB Reviews: TMNT Smash-Up! – Sure is a “Smash”, Alright
Ubisoft being one of my favorite companies (due to the Raving Rabbids series) and TMNT being one of my favorite all time cartoons (you are never too old for cartoons) - I couldn't wait for the release of this game!

Now, why is the word "Smash" significant?
Well, have you ever played Super Smash Bros. Brawl? You're in luck - the controls & fighting style is set-up EXACTLY t...
