One of the chief criticisms lobbed at the Wii’s current software catalog is that there are too many copycat titles. The immediate system selling success of Wii Sports opened the floodgate to a virtual Olympics of sports game compilations. Soon after, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves ushered in a glut of gimmicky mini game compendiums. And [...]
Continue reading »Editor’s Note - As many of my readers know, I am on staff at Adrenaline Vault where I provide game reviews. I also plan on publishing these reviews here to keep a chronicle of everything I’ve written. That said, some of the games I get sent truly suck. Case in point, today’s feature. Don’t fault me [...]

Today, our little princess leaps beyond her toddler years and forges a path into little girlhood as she turns 3 years old. Now, [...]
There’s no place like home. (Click) There’s no place like home. (Click) There’s no place like home. (Click).
Damn, I’m still here… and looking awfully ridiculous in these ruby red slippers.
Well, that does it. Another season done. Another series of puzzles to ponder in the agonizing nine-month wait until Season 5 starts up. When next we [...]
One thing that makes me sad today… Old Man Indy.
Over the holiday weekend, I had the opportunity to take in the latest Indy flick – Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The screening came midway through the super-sized holiday weekend and just at the moment that the nagging nasal drip I had [...]
Note: As I wrote awhile back, I am currently on the staff of Adrenaline Vault, a game review website. I joined AVault in January and subsequently faced a drought of games. That said, the floodgates have started to open and over the last month I have had 3 reviews published with 2 waiting in the [...]

Before I go further, I’ll stop for a spell and allow anyone who hasn’t seen the film (and has a desire to do so) to jump off the bus. The last thing I want to do with The Ed Zone is turn this into [...]
