NFL Combine Reaction: Cornerbacks
Widely regarded as the best corner in the draft Joe Haden did not have a good day. Better performances were turned in by players who enjoyed success at the Senior Bowl. Haden still will likely be considered the top cornerback but Kyle Wilson is nipping at his heels now. (more…)...

Review: Kick-Ass
As most every movie fan can attest to there are times when high levels of anticipation can lead to eventual disappointment. Having read all the great early buzz for Kick-Ass I entered with the concern that this would be the case here. Those high expectations though turned out to be far exceeded. Kick-Ass is a fantastic blend of a comic book vibe with heavy action and explicit violence, plenty of laughs, and genuine emotional pull. (more…)...

MLB 2K10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With MLB 2K10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces.
