#6 of 2010: Madden NFL 11
Madden faces far and away the heaviest scrutiny of any sports game franchise. Various boundaries placed on the series have kept the game from really breaking out of the perception that each year simply brings about a marginal upgrade. Madden 10 was an excellent attempt even exceeding many expectations but Madden 11 failed to follow-up on that. A change in philosophical direction and a move to appeasing casual players proved to be a mistake but one that could be corrected going forward. (more&...

Kinect Sports Party Pack DLC Impressions
The arrival of the Kinect Sports "Party Pack" downloadable content was a pleasant surprise especially considering it was being provided for free. Kinect Sports already carried a number of mini-games for each sport but the DLC provided a new one for each.

Little Fockers Wins Holiday Weekend
Despite having made nearly $50 million in its five days of release Little Fockers is being viewed as a disappointment. It comes in well below the box office take of its predecessor Meet the Fockers which drew $70.5 million over the same stretch in 2004.

Frozen brings a high concept story, three people are left unknowingly on a ski-lift and have to decide how to save themselves, and does so with unusual control and intelligence. Though it has its share of questionable moments it is a tense thriller that makes the viewer question themselves along with the characters as to the thought process of being in the situation at hand.  (more…)...
