Lie to Me: The Complete Third Season (DVD Set)

This DVD set contains the last thirteen episodes of Lie to Me; while the shows had slightly softer ratings than did the other two seasons, I feel that the writers and actors were able to really create a special series. The backstories for each of the main cast of characters were further fleshed out this season, while there is a sense that there could be some serious story arcs should…

C-BOL (Creatine)

Creatine has been one of the widest used supplements since it came into prominence in the 90s, but the different varieties of the stuff can make choosing a product confusing. Thermolife’s C-BOLis powered by the inclusion of creatine nitrate, and will further benefit those that purchase it by the presence of their nitrate techonology. Creatine nitrate allows the expulsion of additional water, while ensuring that muscles can growth without any…

Phase 7 (DVD)

There are a number of horror movies that look to take a more comical take on the genre. The amount that these films vary in terms of quality and of star caliber involved is similarly substantial; saying that, it becomes necessary to look at reviews and determine whether this is a hit or miss. Phase 7 is a title that does not benefit from an American’s familiarity with their actors…

1001 Touch Games (Nintendo DS)

1001 Touch Games is the perfect time waster. The title has (as one can guess) over 1000 levels of a variety of different titles which will get one’s digits going. The titles themselves do not use bleeding-edge graphics, but are a fun type of casual game that players of all ages can appreciate. The different genres of games here are substantial – along with hidden object searches, one can play…

Body Octane Game Day (Pre-workout)

I have been working out seriously over the course of the last fourteen months, and I have shed about 95 pounds and have packed on a decent amount of muscle. However, I found myself hitting a pretty serious plateau towards the end of my last pre-workout drink. We received the Body Octane Game Day a few days back and have begun to use it as our primary pre-workout. The product’s…

Go Vacation (Nintendo Wii)

Go Vacation is one of those few titles that individuals of all ages can appreciate and be challenged by; where a number of all-ages titles are made too easy for the older set, I feel that Namco Bandai’s Go Vacation will challenge all equally. The narration of the titular activity is such that players will be entered into their own world after they pick from a wide array of avatars.…

Jonathan Wilson – Gentle Spirit (CD)

This is a hell of a debut. Where there are a considerable amount of first recordings that seem to be a route toward a more polished second album, Wilson immediately hits the ground running from the beginning of the album’s first track. This titular song provides listeners with a microcosm of the sounds, styles, and overall approaches that Wilson will be taking with the album. Canyon in the Rain is…

Tim Mayer – Resilience (CD)

There is an absolutely sage sound to the tracks on Resilience that belies the youth of tenor sax player Tim Mayer. While a more youthful disposition would have Mayer push eirself to the front of each of the album’s 10 tracks, Resilience has a much more varied and intelligent use of the aforementioned instrument. Nowhere is this heard as well as during the introductory For Miles; the track is able…

Mayer Hawthorne – How Do You Do (CD)

How Do You Do is an album that is like fine wine; it gets better with age. Get To Know You is an impressive introduction, with emotive sentiments tying in perfectly with intricate arrangements. The intense feelings that are brought to bear during How Do You Do represent the glue that holds the track together. While there are definitely rising and falling moments to be experienced here, the same nuanced,…

X-Men Destiny (Xbox 360)

X-Men has continually been the one super hero franchise that has had solid titles made for it, through the course of the last twenty years. While many of these titles now are focused on the fighting aspect of the X-Men, X-Men Destiny keeps things interesting by building an action-RPG title from scratch. What results is a varied experience that stays fresh through repeated plays of the title, all with a…

Ripped Juice EX2 (Weight Loss / Energy / Fat Burning)

The sheer amount of energy providing supplements currently on the market clutters things up considerably, and I would venture to guess that not many are able to find the perfect supplement for their needs as a result. However, Betancourt has created in Ripped Juice EX2 a product that works well, no matter whether the individual works out seriously or just needs to cut off a few pounds for their class…

RUE Premiere New Track; Street Date For New Album + Live Actions Confirmed

Akron, Ohio’s sludge metal bastards RUE are preparing to unleash Thorns, their first full-length album in over seven years, via Shifty Records. A street date of November 15th now officially confirmed for the CD release, with a full-on vinyl pressing to follow in early 2012. Bearing over an hour of RUE’s gritty, low-end debauchery, Thorns takes the band’s sound in some new directions, the band having spent the last four…

Phoenix (Fat Burner)

One could take a different fat burning supplement every day for a year and not have went through the sheer number of products on the market. The active ingredients that they contain, as well as what they are touted to do, vary considerably. One has to educate themselves thoroughly before purchasing a product, and I feel that Better Body Sports’ Phoenix should be seriously considered by anyone that wants to…

The Loose Hinges – The Loose Hinges (CD)

Out of the Sun is the first track on The Loose Hinges’ self-titled album, hitting listeners with a sound that is boldly different than practically anything that is on the market. The female vocals, coupled with the shifting, slinky sound achieved by the rest of the band has no comparison. Hints of Dusty Springfield and Nancy Sinatra can be heard in this aforementioned vocals, but the electronic arrangements that cradle…

Tony Desimone – The Second Time Around (CD)

Tony Desimone is an artist that wishes to establish himself as being one of the major forces of Americana rock. By taking on bits and hints of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, and even newer acts like Third Eye Blind and Matt Nathanson, what results on The Second Time Around is something that bleeds red, white and blue. This does not mean that Desimone saturates everything with Old Glory, but rather…

eM – Promise Me Single (CD)

The attention span of the average music listener is short; most tracks are able to end in about three minutes. eM feels that they can create a track in Promise Me that will keep the attention of these listeners, and I feel that they are able to succeed with this single. The track looks back to the days of Kraftwerk for inspiration; the band is able to modernize that sound…
