Hammer of the Scots Board Game Review

Hammer of the Scots is a easy to play lightweight wargame that while a bit loose with history, is engaging enough that it really doesn't matter.

Renegade Game Chair Review

This game chair offers a decent feature set at a more reasonable price than Ultimate Game Chair's other pricier offerings.

A stellar cast and good action saves this movie from becoming Jackass with a plot.

This martial arts film offers some wonderful fight scenes buried underneath an awful plot.

This DVD may have a lot of star power but its paper thin plot, bad acting and terrible fight scenes make it a lesson in why some movies shouldn't be imported..
