SPARTA PHILHARMONIC: “MAYBE IT’S BEST”

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Xbox 360)

There are few game franchises that are able to continually reinvent themselves as are Guitar Hero. This is not done at the expense of previous game play, but each addition to the Guitar Hero line feels as if there just is something new and fresh bubbling just under the surface. When Activision sent over a copy of review, we immediately set the guitar up and began to see what had…

Family Guy: Partial Terms of Endearment (DVD)

Family Guy seems to have a problem with attempting to push the line of what can be accepted and what is not. Where shows like South Park gain the additional benefit of being on a straight cable format (rather than on network TV), Family Guy is on Fox. This additional censoring has ensured that Family Guy has to play it a little safe, save for situations such as this one.…

SweetKiss Momma – Revival Rock (CD)

“Revival Rock” is exactly that. The cuts from this album are such that listeners will feel that they are in a different time, but with a small twist. SweetKiss Momma is able to have the bluesy style of a CCR or Guess Who, but has enough talent to make current listeners fall in love with the band. By crossing over between two distinct sets of listeners, “Revival Rock” can speak…

Jackie Arredondo – Someone Like You (CD)

Jackie’s initial track on “Someone Like You” is something truly special. It is a track that exists at the nexus of a number of distinct musical style. It could conceivably chart on R&B, country, or pop charts, and that is based more on the talent of Jackie’s voice than anything else. Don’t get me wrong – the instrumentation is great, but each nuance of Jackie’s vocal, each rise and fall,…

Gormiti: Lords of Nature (Nintendo DS)

I know I must be getting old. I was not even aware that Gormiti: Lords of Nature was based off a children’s television franchise. For those like me, this does not mean that Gormiti: Lords of Nature is a title that can be slept on. Rather, it represents a black sheep in terms of contenders for the best NDS game of the year. Also released for the Wii, Gormiti represents…
