Bust-A-Move is one of those games that practically everyone has had some experience with. It was really a casual game before everyone got into casual games, and this latest iteration in the series has ensured that a completely new generation of fans will be able to enjoy the addicting game play. This title, for the DS, immediately will hit players with vibrant colors and fun-looking character design.
Dollhouse is likely the one show that simultaneously has tons of buzz surrounding it and ratings that deserve to be higher. The titular entity employs individuals termed “Actives†for the term of five years. These individuals have their personalities wiped and are pimped out to different clients; the actions taken by the Dollhouse and their Actives are shrouded in mystery, operating in secret in a seemingly-current society.
Being in a college setting for a number of years, it is not surprising that I am somewhat familiar with Jagermeister. The amount of inroads that it has made in the last decade or so into the collective consciousness of the average American adult is astonishing, considering no other of its kin (herbal-based liqueurs or even similar-tasting spirits) have sales numbers that even come close to Jagermeister. If you have…
In celebration of their new release, Tri-Polar, Sick Puppies and neufutur.com are giving you a chance to win a 32†Flat Screen TV and 8.0 megapixel camera phone, brought to you by Samsung Mobile™, Rock Prophecies and Virgin Records!
Though not exactly prolific, Australia’s Sick Puppies know how to pace themselves. Though the band has been around since 1997, Tri-Polar marks only their second full length. With a dozen songs, the band makes the most out of the time they are given in the studio. Reminiscent of mid-to-late 90’s alternative rock – mixing everything from metal to pop rock – the band sounds like a blend of Silverchair and…
“One For Katie†is the first track on “We’re Gonna Have A Parade!â€. Immediately, what comes forth is a band that is confident and technically skilled; the act’s overall sound here touches upon The Ataris, MxPx, and even NoFX. Pop-punk, rock, and even mid-nineties emo are all here, and “We’re Gonna Have A Parade!†has just started. With each subsequent track, Alert the Press adds something new to their toolbox.
It’s been six long years since their last release, but Reno Divorce has made the wait more than worth it. On Tears Before Breakfast, their third record, the Denver-based foursome plays blistering punk rock better than most of their contemporaries.
There are a number of things you can criticize about Arthur Kane’s posthumous memoir, but being frank is not one of them. In his decades in the making book, Kane, the bassist and co-founding member of the New York Dolls, is certainly not shy about opening up and telling off those he feels have slighted him in the past, from New Your Doll’s front man David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter)…
Finger Lickin’ Fifteen is the latest title in the Stephanie Plum series, which has turned 15 years old in 2009. Despite the countless titles that have been situated by Evanovich in this series over the years, I still feel as if ey is able to keep things fresh and ensure that fans of the series will be happy.
Toronto-based musician Steve Singh has taken the DIY ethos to heart. On his latest, Heavy Metal Sunset, the singer/songwriter wrote, performed, mixed and produced all 10 songs. Mining a stellar list of influences as varied as Stevie Wonder and Glenn Tillbrook, Singh makes pop music like no one else performing today.
There are so many rums present on the market now that it honestly feels as if most buyers will have no idea where to go for their rum needs. The amount of information differentiating the brands from each other is paltry, making it almost inevitable that buyers will pick out a sub-par rum sooner rather than later. However, Pernod Ricard has crafted a new rum and placed it under the…
Just seconds into Cool Device’s self-titled debut, through the blistering gnash of distorted chords, its clear front man/guitarist Jason Frederick has some demons to exercise. You can’t blame the guy; the whole reason he started Cool Devices was a reaction to news that his old Columbus, OH-based group The Means were getting back together without him. Now based in Chicago, Frederick’ new band Cool Devices manages to rip through seven…
An American Affair is set in 1963, where JFK’s affair with a CIA member’s wife is seen as nothing too far outside of the norm. A stacked cast, including Gretchen Mol (Rounders), Mark Pellegrino (National Treasure), and James Rebhorn (Cold Mountain) take up this historical piece and make each of the players living and breathing. Where there has been a number of films made in the last twenty years about…
I feel that a number of individuals that were important to the foundation of these United States get shorted on coverage in American history textbooks if their names are not George Washington or Benjamin Franklin. HBO’s John Adams miniseries looks to rectify this issue, and the Blu-Ray version of the release ensures that this series will not be forgotten anytime soon. For those that missed out on the miniseries, Paul…
The Doomsday Key is one of many (actually, six) in the Sigma Force series, but author James Rollins takes more than enough care to ensure that readers are caught up before the crux of the action begins. A crew is placed together to figure out what exactly happened in Africa, where a highly cutting-edge type of agricultural development has been completely torn to the ground, all the individuals there killed.…
British Sea Power is one of the acts that, despite all the fame that they have received in the 6 years since their first album, The Decline of British Sea Power, we have not had the chance to cover here for NeuFutur. Luckily enough, Rough Trade US sent us on over a copy, and we were quickly floored by the band. “Man of Aran†starts off with a titular track…
Along with Batman: Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?, the first issue of the eight-part Blackest Night storyline is the first comic that we have reviewed from a major company. Geoff Johns begins this arc with positive imagery, showcasing exactly how many in the DC Universe were able to move on from major events. Those that were in Coast City were able to firmly mend themselves in the years since…
The minute I heard about Bonetown I knew wanted to try it, this game allows you to use drugs and alcohol. It also lets you have sex with the girl of your dreams… when your balls get big enough. The game is fun and very addictive. At first I didn’t think I was going to enjoy the game, the interface is sort of confusing at first. After reading the directions…
A Skylit Drive has just released their second full length (their third release) in “Adelphiaâ€. This June release has expanded considerably the band’s sound from 2008’s “Wires…and the Concept of Breathing†and 2007’s “She Watched The Skyâ€. The disc itself begins with “Prelude To A Dreamâ€, a track that sets the tempo of the disk with clear guitars, rocking drums, and a set of vocals that both attack and smooth…
Players may remember that Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance was originally a PC title, and has just been made into a Xbox 360 game. Where there were some issues with the PC version of the game, the time spent bringing the game to the Xbox 360 has ensured that those over at Playlogic could iron them out. For those that missed out on the story behind Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance. This shooter allows…
