Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

The Princess and the Frog is Disney’s first traditionally animated feature film since 2004 and, for that reason alone, I’ve been keeping a close eye on it through its development ups and downs. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, this movie has big shoes to fill as it attempts to resuscitate a dying breed [...]

This is actually less of a review and more of a rant. And it’s not a rant because I hate the game, it’s a rant because I really, really wanted to like it and was met with major disappointment upon playing it. This wasn’t due to lofty expectations of mine either, but because of what [...]

Sure, this game has been out for a couple years now (over twice as long in internet time) but I wrote a review about it when it first came out and hey, I’m lazy and I’m happy to provide cheap content for my site. So without further ado, here’s my two year old review of [...]
