DeadlyCreaturesSystem: Wii Exclusive
Developer: Rainbow Studios
Publisher: THQ
Genre: Beat ’em up/Action-Adventure

I hate bugs. All bugs. In some cases it doesn’t even have to be a bug to freak me out, simply possessing bug-like qualities will do the trick. Strangely enough, this powerful phobia is exactly what attracted me to Deadly Creatures. This Wii-exclusive Action title from Rainbow Studios that puts you in control of either a Tarantula or a Scorpion and lets you explore the world from a pint-sized perspective.

What better way to conquer a fear than to embody the very thing that horrifies you?

Short list of updates this week, and nothing really worth talking about. We finally got Google Ads running on the site again, so make sure you click them whenever you get the chance to help support us. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but we also started using the Amazon Affiliates program, and therefore put links at the bottom of some reviews that direct you to Amazon so you can buy the product we reviewed if you want.

Some upcoming reviews include Mini Chill Relaxation Shots, Encaff Energy Stix, Paranormal Activity, and a Wii game called Deadly Creatures. Of course, those are just what we have planned, and there are many more reviews that we’ll do this week, but you can look forward to those for sure.

That about wraps things up, have an excellent Sunday everyone, see you tomorrow. And as always, keep reading Everyview!

[Movie Review] Where The Wild Things Are (Theatrical)

Maurice Sendak’s Children’s Book Where The Wild Things Are is a staple of young childhood in the United States, as well as all across the world. A simple book containing fanciful illustrations of an imaginary world created when the main character, Max, gets sent to bed without his dinner. The book very concisely describes the adventure of Max and his imagination.

Since the book is fewer than 20 pages, I was curious to see what the film added to the book to create the cinematic experience. It turns out that not only did they add more material, but they also added a wealth of character development, emotion, and visual sensation to ensure everyone in the audience went home with a smile.

[Music Review] The Flaming Lips “Embryonic”

the-flaming-lips.embryonicI wish a younger version of myself had been more in tune with the wonderful music that has always been around during my 24 years on this Earth, rather than just being force fed whatever bubble gum garbage was on the radio, whatever Classic Rock music was deemed good enough to still be popular, or whatever flavor of the month Rap Star was clever enough to come up with some catchy hook. I wish a younger me had discovered bands like The Flaming Lips.

For those uninitiated, The Flaming Lips are a psychedelic and spacey American rock band from Oklahoma City. They produce what can be classified as bizarre rock tunes, and when listening to them I can hardly believe they aren’t mega-Gods here in their home country (they’ve achieved much more notoriety overseas.)

[Spotted!] The Snuggie 2

I recently attended a festival celebration known as The Covered Bridge Festival. Even if you’ve never been to this celebration in particular, you know how these festivals work. Vendors set up shop and deal not only honest home made crafts, but they also peddle various pirated, stolen, or bootlegged goods to unsuspecting attendees.

I have a feeling that’s what is going on here. A shady-looking gentlemen is sitting behind a stand selling the Snuggie 2. I didn’t get any closer than I needed for a decent picture, as I was afraid the guy would talk me into buying six or seven of these, but I’m pretty sure it is the exact same thing as everyone’s favorite backwards bath robe, maybe with a few alterations made. Sorry about the quality, I didn’t take my camera so I had to use my BlackBerry.

The highly anticipated sequal to the blanket that makes you look retarded!

[Tech Review] Energizer Flat Panel Wii Remote Induction Charger

The Wii has more than its fair share of charging solutions available. Countless products from different manufacturers that all perform the same tasks similarly and in almost identical fashion makes it easy to get lost when shopping for a decent controller charger. There have been many attempts at making excellent chargers, and only few have succeeded. Continue reading →

[Game Review] Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Wii)

geometrywarsgalaxieswiiSystem: Wii (Also on DS)
Developer: Kuju Entertainment/Bizarre Creations
Publisher: Sierra
Genre: Arcade Shooter

Judging a book (rather, a game) by its cover can sometimes be a big mistake. I’m sure I’ve missed out on some quality games in my life because I walked passed it on the shelf and thought it looked lame, pedestrian, or not worth my money. Just looking at the case for this game, I would’ve initially passed up on it because it just doesn’t look that interesting. I flip the case over, and it doesn’t really sound that interesting. But luckily, I’m not paying to rent this game (because my esteemed leader Zac just let me borrow it). Continue reading →

[Music Review] Kid Cudi “Man On The Moon: The End Of Day”

Overview:

It’s a very rare occasion when I sit down and listen to an album several times through the way I did with Kid Cudi’s most recent CD. I usually find that I like one song from an album, and don’t really care much for the other tracks. However, after spending many hours listening to “Man On The Moon” I find myself deeply impressed by the album’s well made beats, intriguing lyrics, and creative concept. Continue reading →

You know what really sucks? Cancer, war, tooth decay, crooked cops, murderers, Rush Limbaugh, rapists, preteen pregnancy, socks with holes in them, underwear that ride high, pollution, getting stung by bees, stubbing your toe, losing stuff, homework, flat tires, having an owl run into your face, your grandma dying, terrorists, getting hit by a car, AIDS, accidentally killing that hooker in Taiwan, underage kids who smoke, drug-induced deaths, dropping your keys in human feces, gaining weight, and spontaneous combustion.

You know what sucks even more? For some reason, BAWLS Energy Drink isn’t readily available across our entire nation.
