Captain America Reborn Prelude
Normally I don’t get too excited about Marvel’s Digital Comics initiative (don’t get me wrong, digital may very well be the future, I just haven’t seen anything on the site I need to have), but I’m going to make an exception here. If you go to Marvel’s Reborn page, you can read FOR FREE [...]
Watchmen Maximum Movie Mode Finally Makes Blu-ray Worth While
Pretty much all of us here at Project Silence-while we do own Blu-ray players-have been complaining for a while that Blu-ray’s potential just hasn’t been reached, not by a long shot. Well it looks like Zac Snyder is doing for Blu-ray what he did for Comic movies, make it bad ass. The upcoming Watchmen Blu-ray [...]
Too Human Review (Xbox 360)
It’s become obvious to me recently that I will almost never buy a game for $60 again. It’s a lot of investment for something you can’t be sure about in most cases, and it’s going to become a problem for the Video Game Industry, an industry already built on the success of mega hits like [...]
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” Movie Review
This weekend, I took one for the team. Am I a hero? No. Am I a saint? No. What I am, though, is now partially deaf after having been both visually and audibly attacked by “director” Michael Bay’s latest abortion, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”.
I realize that those are strong words, but let me explain myself: I’m one of the few people I know that will admit to having enjoyed the first “Transformers” movie a couple of years ago. I went into it expecting to be entertained by giant fighting robots and I was not disappointed. When I heard that a sequel was on the horizon I thought, “yeah! More, even bigger robots fighting!”.
Be careful what you wish for.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-24-09
The single biggest shipping week (at least from the big 2) in the last ten years, and I have to say, I’m impressed. Tons of books released, and they definitely put a dent into my wallet. And with all these new releases, there were a bunch of great books. After finally getting through them all, [...]

The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-17-09
A great week of releases this week, including a special Monday release for a much-hyped-by-the-media Marvel book. But while that book (Captain America #600) was a quality read, it wasn’t what really captured my attention. No, that honor goes to another Ed Brubaker release.
My pick for this week is Incognito #4. This mini-series is a [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-10-09
A slow and small week of releases this week for yours truly, resulting in a trade paperback selection for you instead of issue picks. While I can’t say the 2 books I purchased were bad, neither were anything special to nominate them for books of the week. So instead, enjoy my alternate selection.

The Ettatorial for the Week of 6-03-09
A very good week of releases this week, highlighted by both my choices above. A few books came close to making the list, such as Secret Six, but it was these two that really were excellent.
First up this week is Batman and Robin #1. The first issue spotlighting the new Batman and Robin [...]
The Two Music Games I’ll be Playing this Year
The Beatles: Rock Band
If the video above doesn’t convince you, nothing will. This is, quite honestly, the most stunning combination of Audio/Video a video game is going to see. I’ve never considered myself a Beatles Fan, I’ve always respected what they did, but to call myself a fan was too much. In less than two [...]
