Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled (Nintendo DS)

For those individuals that have not had much an idea about the history behind Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled, it has been in development since at least 2006. The game had a serious possibility of being left out to dry, as it was originally developed for the Game Boy Advance. Luckily, both Studio Archcraft (the title’s developer) and Graffiti Entertainment (the publisher) decided to change up gears and design…

Orzel (80 Proof)

We would have gotten this spirit reviewed quicker, but we lost the bottle for a significant part of time. Seriously though, we have to put an apology to the firm that sent out the bottle at the beginning of this review. For those that do not know about Orzel, this Polish vodka is apparently “Filtered Over Quartz”. How this is beneficial to the spirit over charcoal, I may never know,…

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Blu-Ray)

There are few films out that actually improve upon their source material, but Confessions of a Shopaholic may just be one of those few. Originally a novel by Sophie Kinsella, the Touchstone title of the same name immediately will draw attention due to the casting choices that are present. Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) takes up the mantle of Rebecca Bloomwood, the movie’s main character whom is beholden to eir shopping…

Carbon Leaf – Nothing Rhymes With Woman (CD)

Carbon Leaf has been around for a virtual eternity when it comes to a band scene that has an act form, get big within two years, and broken up before four. This Virginia band has been around since 1992, and they have just released their sixth full-length album with “Nothing Rhymes With Woman”. This album begins with “Indecision”, a track that encompasses in the course of four minutes where the…

Smirnoff Cocktails: Pomegranate Martini (30 Proof)

It’s been a little bit since we here at NeuFutur have had the chance to go and have a ready-made drink, but we had a bottle of Smirnoff Cocktails: Pomegranate Martini sent over to the HQ in the last little bit. This bottle, all 30 proof (15%) contains a blend of Smirnoff vodka, Meyer Lemon Liqueur, and lemon and pomegranate juices. Where most drinkers would tend to move towards straight…

Prototype (Xbox 360)

Prototype is one of those action games that draws its inspiration from groundbreaking titles like Grand Theft Auto in the sense that there are literally millions of things that the player could be doing besides actually completing the game’s storyline. The game starts off (and is set ) in New York City; people that pop in this title play as Alex Mercer, a weapon of mass destruction that works alongside…

Over The Hill – Looking For A Spark (CD)

“Alcatraz” shows a band in Over The Hill that is extremely eclectic; this results in a track that has never been heard before; the act comes out from the gate establishing their own sound. While there is a down-home rock and roll sound present primarily, hints of punk, straight country, and even hard rock comes forth here. “Waltz” further changes things up, with Over The Hill using a very psychedelic…

Fatal Attraction (Blu-Ray)

Conversion from one format to another is always an interesting time, because it is very compelling to see exactly what titles make it onto the new format first. Sometimes, there are decision that will make viewers wonder, but I have to think that Fatal Attraction is one of the films that deserved to be placed on Blu-Ray relatively early in the format’s life cycle.

Vicki Pettersson – City of Souls (Book)

City of Souls is the fourth book in the Zodiac series, and the title itself shows further evolution and explication by Pettersson of eir alternate reality. The title goes by quickly, the rich prose of Pettersson going down like the sweetest drink. The story line that is weaved through this title is fleshed out but does not feel unnecessarily dragged down or wishy-washy; events, characters, and actions taken by these…

Fuel (Xbox 360)

I love racing games, and titles that look to really provide more of an experience than is typically expected from a game in that genre. The game that looks to flip the script and really lay down the blueprint for what players should expect from a good racing title would be Fuel, Codemasters’ new title. The back of the box immediately shows the sheer amount of customization that players should…

Jose Cuervo Especial: Tequila Plata (80 Proof)

Jose Cuervo is the tequila that many of my friends prefer over all others, and while I had quite a few sessions with “Joe Crow”, I confess that it was not my first choice for tequila. This has all changed after we here at NeuFutur Headquarters had a bottle of the Jose Cuervo Especial (Tequila Plata) sent on over for review. The spirit itself has much less of a burn…

Knights in the Nightmare (Nintendo DS)

Knights In The Nightmare is the third-released title in the Dept. Heaven series of games, and it was preceded by Riviera: The Promised Land (originally released in the US on the GBA) and Yggdra Union: We’ll Never Fight Alone (GBA). Knights in the Nightmare is a great title, or a number of reasons. First off, the graphics that players will confront here are sharp, clear, and really seem to push…

Gonzo Parenting Volume 1, Issue 1

There are a number of zines that I have kept around the house instead of donating them to a zine library or giving them to friends. Gonzo Parenting is one of those “keeper” zines, as it provides me (a potential future parent) with an interesting set of readings about parenting and tips on how to be a good modern parent.

Three Olives Cherry (70 Proof)

Three Olives has been one of the most elusive spirits for NeuFutur to track down and request; I know breaking the fourth wall is sort of verboten, but I find it interesting to see the inner workings of different industry (and by extension, I feel that our readers do as well). Thus, much as our contact with Victory Records was seen as a “victory”, our contact with Proximo Spirits provided…

Urinal Gum #6

We here at NeuFutur have had this issue of Urinal Gum floating around the office for a damn long time, and we have to first apologize to the editors of UG . This issue is from around July of 2008, so there are a few dated things here. This means that there is a fake letter written o then-senator Hillary Rodham Clinton about being the front-runner of the Democratic party,…
