The world of physics based video games is a small, yet surprisingly interesting place. Games like Armadillo Run or World of Goo, puzzle games that rely very little on action or story and instead focus on letting the player really interact with the game environment. One of the more influential games to come out within the last handful of years was Crayon Physics Deluxe, in which the player draws shapes…
While there are a number of different vodkas that run the gamut of traditional fruit and beverage-based flavors, I believe that Skyy Infusions Ginger is the first root-flavored spirit that we’ve ever tried. I must admit, though, that the spirit sat on our shelves for a few days before our reviewers got the courage enough to try it. There is nothing at all wrong with the outward appearance with the…
The release of this three and a half hour special on gospel singer Mahalia Jackson is vitally needed. As Jackson passed on in 1972, each year that passes ensures that that many more individuals never saw eir perform or otherwise were graced with eir skill. “A Gospel Calling” is a video that may be long for some, but should be required watching for anyone studying African-American or gospel history.
British Steel is for many the quintessential Judas Priest album, despite being their sixth studio album, recorded a full 11 years after the band was founded. This is due to a number of features, primary of which has to be the band’s output. “Rapid Fire”, the track’s first salvo, is exactly that – those listeners that originally stuck the needle on their new vinyl copy back in 1980 would have…
Penn & Teller have been a comedic powerhouse for well over twenty years by this point, and their show, Bullshit!, has been on the air since 2003. Where some of the earliest episodes seemed to have the duo provide the pros and (many) cons of major issues such as alien abductions, second hand smoke, and feng shui, the seventh season seems to focus on a little bit more specific of…
A Mind To Kill is a show that I’ve been curious about for a while now; off the top of my head, it is one of the few shows that ran for as long as it did to not receive an American DVD release. Acorn Media has taken the first step to engendering a love for the show in American audiences by the releasing of the first season’s DVD set.…
I know that we are only a few minutes away from the end of the night, but I thought that we here at NeuFutur would have a little bit of the Cinco De Mayo spirit. We have been holding back on covering Pa’Qui (Aztec for “to be happy”) for a while now, not only because it is such a beautifully-covered tequila but also because it is one of the most…
***First a note: I would like to make it perfectly clear that I am not critiquing the band Hollywood Undead in this review. I would also like to further state that I have NEVER heard their music. So, therefore, I am judging this App strictly on it’s own merits. That being said, I would like to explain that the sub-title is there as a note to myself – “everything in…
Hey all, James here from NeuFutur. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a minor rendering issue present with some of the pages. I’m currently fixing what I can, but if anyone would like to help, just comment any page that looks wonky. I’ll get to it whenever I can.
I have managed to ignore the seemingly inexplicable pull of the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch up until now. Watching a show about fishing sounds about as exciting as… well, watching someone fish. Man was I ever wrong!
It seems as the years pass on a video game franchise, that there is always a tendency to begin to let inertia take over and for subsequent releases to merely rehash what was revolutionary years ago. While the Splinter Cell line never got to that point, Ubisoft has allowed the developers to take Sam Fisher’s story in a drastically different way. Where there was a decidedly stealth-heavy component in previous…
After we opened up the beer side of the alcohol review section, I found myself in a serious quandary. We were receiving some seriously full-body beers, and were not getting too much in the way of more mild or properly seasonal types of efforts. The Summerbright beer is the perfect middle ground between these tremendously deep and full-bodied beers and the more familiar, macro styles of portable bread. Saying that,…
EA Sports’ latest efforts in the soccer realm may just be the best in-genre that I have ever played. Instead of being a reskin of FIFA 10, there are a number of serious steps taken with this title. The amount of uniqueness brought forth soccer sims by this title is simply stellar, as individuals can expect to play as any one of nearly 200 different national teams. Furthermore, the inclusion…
The origins of the Fu-Manchu were shrouded in mystery, and were covered in what I assumed to be spicy mustard, until Wikipedia showed me the way. While, the main character of Pandamania, made by FizzPow Games Inc., is not a villain capable of great evils, nor a Doctor by any definition, Fu-Manchu is an anti-hero of sorts. He travels the world, a bad ass with a bow, sporting his trademarked…

Raw Power Legacy Edition hit in-stores 4/13, while the Deluxe edition hit stores 4/27.
LA, by way of Alabama, musician Beth Thornley may have turned in the first record of 2010 that is simply too impossible to cram into an easily definable genre. And that’s a good thing. Her third album, Wash U Clean, is at times Power Pop, singer songwriter and indie pop and often all at once. Rather than sounding sloppy, the effect is refreshingly brilliant. From the quirky album opener and…
“I figure the odds be fifty-fifty” – Frank Zappa (From the song “Fifty-fifty”) While the song is by far much cooler and also far more ‘indie’ than this app, the quote seems to sum up my thoughts on this release from FlickTweets. The app is simple in its execution, and it does what it promises, but I do have my doubts about it. I also have some grievances as well.…
Doc Martin, for those that have missed it up to this point, is an ITV-shown comedy/drama that surrounds the culture clash that general practicioner Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, of Men Behaving Badly and Hunting Venus) has with eir new assignment in Portwenn, a backwards type of town. The third season of Doc Martin continues this formula but contains more than enough new material to keep individuals watching through.
There have been enough in the way of documentaries about every aspect of Hitler’s life, leadership style, personal relationships, and the like to fill a warehouse. However, a great many of these releases have been on the poor side, either ignoring entire lines of reasoning or coming forth as badly researched. Hitler’s Bodyguard, a ten-hour documentary, originally was aired on the Military Channel (which itself is held by Discovery).
