Verbicide #17
Man, I don’t ever want to do a magazine if it means sticking three and a half pages of advertising in the first five pages. Luckily, Verbicide does not go the route that most other zines take and just stick ads everywhere in their magazine; in fact, there are only a few ads to contend with this whole issue. So, what’s up with this issue of Verbicide. Kudos has to…

Red Bull BC One (DS)
Throughout all of gaming, there have been a number of company-sponsored releases. Individuals may remember M.C. Kids, Yo Noid!, or Cool Spot; Red Bull BC One both comes forth as similar and extremely different from these types of games. This DS title is similar in the sense that there is promotional branding for Red Bull strewn throughout all stages and screens of the game, but it differs in that the…

Verbicide #15
Verbicide comes forth with a very fiction-based approach for this issue. In fact, an entire section is devoted to the stuff. This brings me to one of the major philosophical debates that we in the zine world have; is it actually better to have blocks of material (for example, reviews and then stories) or are listeners kept interested when there are different types of pieces interspersed throughout the magazine. In…

Bratz Ponyz 2 (DS)
Bratz Ponyz 2 is the latest in a series of games that have really transformed the DS into a typically boy/male type of platform into one in which all individuals can find a stellar collection of titles to choose from.

Blitz: The League II (Xbox 360)
Blitz was one of those games that I just had to play in the arcade whenever I could search a cabinet out. However, it seems as if the home iterations of the Blitz franchise have actually surpassed in some key ways the arcade releases. First off is the discussion of still-current events, such as quarterback Mike Mexico (their version of Michael Vick) being thrown into prison, as well as the…
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS)
Dragon Quest is one of the most popular RPG franchises currently out on the market, and in Japan, the popularity of the series is second to that of Pokémon. It is no surprise that the fourth installment, “Chapters of the Chosen†is an impressive RPG blending together great graphics (for the DS) and a solid storyline with excellent game play. Long-time players in the RPG genre may be familiar with…

Verbicide #13
I know with each issue of Verbicide I receive, that I’m going to get the same high quality and different focus that these kids have been doing for as long as I’ve been aware of the zine. Verbicide, for those uninitiated, is one of the only good writing-heavy zines to ever be released. Short stories mix alongside interviews with musicians to make for a good balance, to which the editors…
Varla #11
Varla magazine is a perfect example of a magazine that I’ve never heard of, and yet it has brought out ten issues before this one hit the newsstands. This is the equivalent to a print version of Suicide Girls, as Varla ties together music with pinups. However, some of the choices for the pinups in this issue are pretty tame, if not plain boring. I understand that a lot of…
