    The 19th season of Survivor concludes tomorrow night in the two hour finale of Survivor: Samoa followed by the reunion show. This has been a highly entertaining season based almost solely on one man. Russell has run the game and created some of the most memorable moments in the history of Survivor. While Russell has played hardest and deserves to win anything can happen. If he does reach the end he will have to sell himself to a jury which has a Galu majority. With four Foa Foa members an...

    The ranking of games in the best of 2009 list is based primarily on the personal amount of enjoyment had with a particular title. Some other factors include whether advertised features were fully delivered on, post-release support, community interaction and communication, overall gameplay experience, feature set, and online play performance. Again this is a personal take on the games. The analysis is weighted largely towards those which I had the most fun with while considering them as a who...

    Avatar appears to be on the way to a weekend take close to $80 million. Along with the early midnight showings the movie was able to pull in $27 million on Friday. Increased prices in ticket sales due to 3D and IMAX screenings helped boost the take. Long term prospects are very good. This is one of the rare times where the opening weekend results won't be nearly as interesting as following how it does in the weeks ahead. The natural comparisons to Titanic are there but Avatar will not end u...

    One has to ask when reviewing a movie what factors need to be considered. Is it just the quality of the film in terms of the story and acting? Is it the emotion it invokes? Is it the pure entertainment factor? Really all that varies on the particular movie at hand. Avatar though is completely unique and really doesn't fit into any typical category. No film has ever been as ambitious yet it totally pulls it off. James Cameron waited years for the technology to arrive that could deliver his v...

    While the full fact sheet for MLB 10: The Show has yet to be released most of the new features and additions have already been unveiled through the previews and cover announcement press release. Certainly there will be numerous improvements made to various areas of the game however the items that will be heavily marketed are already out there. That belief is essentially confirmed given the back of the retail box displays only those new features which have already been discussed. Based on ...

    Fox may be taking action to help bolster the popular but ratings challenged Fringe. In what would be an interesting tactic a new episode of Fringe may air on January 11th at 9pm. House was just moved up to return on that date at 8pm. This is being seen by most as an attempt to squash the momentum of Chuck which settles into that 8pm on Monday slot after having its third season premiere the night before. Fringe was scheduled to be off until Thursday April 1st. According to the report it wo...
