Rating: E10 Distributor: LucasArts Suggested Retail Price: $49.99 (Wii, PS3, XBOX),  $29.99 (PC, PSP, DS), $39.99 (Nintendo 3DS) One of the greatest contributions to the STAR WARS franchise was the creation of the LEGO STAR WARS video games.

Now, we’re treated to LEGO STAR WARS III: THE CLONE WARS which brings the […]Read On »

A very lazy film (when you compare it to the ambitions screenwriter Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven were going for in SCREAM 2), SCREAM 3 is a hodge podge of unfunny comedy, crazy back story and very few actual scares. Williamson is nowhere […]Read On »
