Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer Tease
And the trailers just keep on a-coming! Sony Pictures dropped a teaser for Spider-Man: Homecoming today. It’s a very short tease, coming in at 17 seconds. Nothing of substance is shown; only Tom Holland and Jon Favreau make an appearance, though Tony Stark is mentioned. But Spidey seems to have his glider webs in it, and that is awesome! The mini-clip is teasing a bigger reveal tomorrow duri...[Read More]
Transformers: The Last Knight Official Trailer 1
<<sigh>> After much (blessed) silence, the first official trailer for Michael Bay’s new boom-pocalypse, Transformers: The Last Knight has been released. It’s a bit short on info, but it does give a few morsels for us to chew on and inevitably get food poisoning from. After a few bits showing a battle in the Middle Ages (!) and some fighting against the Nazis (!!!), we get s...[Read More]
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: The Comeback Trailer
There were a lot of amazing things shown over the weekend during PlayStation Experience. Most of the Digital Crack crew are buzzing about The Last of Us 2. There’s plenty of buzz to go around, with Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Death Stranding, and dozens more awesome titles shown. I cared about three things and three things only: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, Mufasa ...[Read More]
Retro Review: PaRappa the Rapper (PS1)
Release Date: December 6, 1996 Developer: NanaOn-Sha, Co., Ltd. Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. It’s hard to believe that 20 years ago tomorrow, a game like PaRappa the Rapper was released in the United States. It’s even harder to believe how much of a risk the game was. The premise sounded so silly to me in 1996, I kept thinking it was the product of some demented Mad Libs game create...[Read More]
The Last of Us 2 Trailer

The sequel to one of the move beloved games on the PlayStation 3 (and remastered for the PlayStation 4) has been confirmed. Fanboys around the world rejoice at the announcement. The trailer is nothing more than a teaser. The beginning shows a world that is destroyed....[Read More]
Have You Seen…History of the World Part 1?
Release Date: June 12, 1981 Director: Mel Brooks Starring: Mel Brooks, Gregory Hines, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Ron Carey, Pamela Stephenson, Shecky Greene, Sid Caesar, Orson Wells Favorite quote: “Oh, sieze this, Honkus!”– Josephus From the moment I was allowed to watch “naughty” movies to now, there has been one constant. Well, two constants, but I think my fasc...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed “Enter the Animus” Trailer Released
I know, I know, we haven’t posted up any information about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie. Speaking for myself, part of the reason in fear. The trailers look interesting, and Michael Fassbender is a great actor. But…IT’S ASSASSIN’S CREED! Plus, it’s a video game movie. Warcraft was treated pretty harshly, and I thought it was decent. I dunno about this one&...[Read More]
Marvel vs Capcom 4 and My Concerns
This whole curmudgeon bit doesn’t suit me at all. I wanna be happy about the news surrounding a possible Marvel vs Capcom 4 game. I really do. But recent history and other rumors shake my faith enough that I have to don the grump mask one more time. First, a little back story. Back in March 2014, Capcom’s contract with Marvel ended. The partnership that saw the release of some of the most beloved ...[Read More]
Retro Review: Solstice: The Quest for the Staff of Demnos (NES)
Release Date: June 1990 Developer: Software Creations, Ltd. Publisher: GSC Imagesoft Inc. As I mentioned in my Adventures of Lolo Retro Review, I have a special place in my low-res heart for puzzle games. From Tetris to Portal to Braid and everywhere in between, puzzle games have kept me occupied way more than RPGs and racing games, my other two favorite genres. On the NES, the aforementioned Lolo...[Read More]
Never Played: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
I did not buy into the eighth generation of video game consoles until two years after their release. It’s not for a lack of wanting a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One; I knew I would get them eventually. I’ve just learned to wait until well after release to start buying new hardware. One of the drawbacks to that strategy is that I end up missing out on games released for both the old and new gen consoles...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection Review
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Publisher: Ubisoft Platform Reviewed: PlayStation 4 Release Date: November 15, 2016 Acquired via: Purchase by Reviewer I jumped into the Assassin’s Creed series extremely late. My son was on board immediately, however, and I watched him play the original on his Xbox 360 to see if it interested me. Ultimately, I was not sold based on what I saw. I never saw any of the De...[Read More]
