Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory: Season 2

Product Description
The fantasy continues for skateboarding legend Rob Dyrdek and his crew as they return for another quirky season of chaos and laughter at the Fantasy Factory. Packed with guest stars and even more action, Season Two is the Fantasy Factory at a whole new level. Along with Rob for the insane journeys are his cousin Drama, his naysaying manager, Jeremy, the “rapping receptionist” Chanel, and Rob’s awkward, injury-prone skate coach, Big Cat. This season, the ridiculousness reaches new levels as Rob purchases and then jockeys his own racehorse, teams up with musician John Mayer to write an apology song for Rob’s Mom, races alongside Ken Block in a miniature rally car, and triumphantly returns to the stage as Bobby Light with a little help from Travis Barker at a Blink-182 show. As always, the biggest and most obscure dreams become reality from within his headquarters – a fully skate-able, 25,000- square-foot warehouse in downtown Los Angeles known as “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory.”

Something’s Gotta Give

Product Description
An aging playboy dating a much younger woman falls for her mother.Amazon.com
As upscale sitcoms go, Something’s Gotta Give has more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding “women of a certain age,” writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an aging lothario who’s always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who’s convinced she’s past the age of romance, much less sexual re-awakening. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire, Something’s Gotta Give is terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Myers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it’s believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. Myers also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn’t pander to youth. Mature viewers, rejoice! –Jeff Shannon

Escape from Monkey Island

Amazon.com Review
LucasArts’ Monkey Island adventure game series has been missed of late. It has been too long since we’ve visited the anachronistic Tri-Island area in a Monkey game stuffed with vivid characters, zany plot twists, and liberal use of awful and awfully funny puns. Thank goodness that the clumsy, bumbling, and utterly charming pirate hero Guybrush Threepwood returns in Escape from Monkey Island. Luckily for him so does his bride, Elaine Marley Threepwood; unluckily, it looks like the stubborn ghost pirate LeChuck may be back as well. Or is he? We’d tell you but that would give away too much of the vibrant and hilarious story line.

This is adventure gaming at its very best: sharp graphics, excellent voice acting and writing, and solid puzzles throughout. LucasArts even included a walk-through that’ll get any new players into the right mindset to solve the bizarre, convoluted, and convulsively funny pun-ridden puzzles in the game. But players who rely on it are missing out. Sometimes it’s much funnier to do things the wrong way, because the sharp-minded developers probably already thought of it and are ready to reward you with a humorous comment or action. Completely hilarious, drop-dead gorgeous, and always innovative LucasArts proves once and for all there is ample life left in the adventure genre. –Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

  • Excellent voice acting and writing
  • Very funny
  • Challenging for players of all skill levels

Cons:

  • The controls could be a little more streamlined

Amazon.com Product Description
Escape from Monkey Island continues in the hilarious tradition of its critically hailed and award-winning predecessors, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s Revenge, and The Curse of Monkey Island. Developed by the team who created LucasArts’s irreverent classic Sam and Max Hit the Road, Escape features an original cinematic story full of drama, intrigue, and of course, sidesplitting humor. The game is highlighted by hundreds of challenging puzzles, set amidst dozens of rich and brilliantly rendered backgrounds.

The day fast approaches when Guybrush Threepwood, Elaine Marley-Threepwood, Stan of Stan’s Previously Owned Vessels, and the other bizarre characters from the beloved, anachronistic Monkey series come back to PC shores.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses

  • Choose to follow either of two unique stories – the latest adventure for Yugi or Kaiba
  • Incredible new Card Movement Battle System means a new level of strategy for becoming the Supreme Duelist
  • The onscreen action stays exciting, with over 680 fully 3D-rendered monsters
  • Battle across a dozen locations throughout Europe, and duel head-to-head with friends in multiplayer mode
  • Includes 3 Exclusive Limited Edition Trading Card Game cards

Product Description
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses lets the duelists clash yet again, with all-new more powerful decks!Amazon.com
Like the Pokémon games, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses is essentially a computerized trading-card game. Unlike Pokémon, however, Duelists of the Roses is distinguished by a peculiar historical-fiction context and a startlingly steep learning curve. Yu-Gi-Oh newbies be forewarned: This game is better suited for die-hard fans.

Not only does the story of Duelists of the Roses stray from the Egyptian setting of the cartoon show, it strays into a fictional history of the War of the Roses, a 15th-century civil war for the English throne. In this version of events, the war was fought with cards, not swords and bows, and series-protagonist Yugi is actually Henry VII. There are lots more real and adapted history in the game, but it’s really just stage dressing for a series of card battles. Players can choose to fight for the side of Yugi and the house of Lancaster or for the Rival house of York. Either choice leads to different opponents and cut-scenes along the way.

The gameplay itself falls between the simplicity of rock-paper-scissors and the complexity of chess. Players blindly deal monsters off a deck against what your opponent pulls, and the stronger monster wins the hand–and the winning opponent gets the balance of points between the winning and losing cards from the losing player. When a combatant’s life points are gone, the game is over. Duelists of the Roses introduces a leader card to the game, which players use to store their life points and to earn special abilities. Also new is a terrain map that will influence the power of the cards being drawn. For example, pulling a water monster near the ocean will pack more power than a fire monster.

What makes the game so hard is that the computer opponent is an ultimate master of the game’s many arcane rules and the in-game tutorial is a little rushed. The game is forgiving to losers; one needs simply to try the battle again and hope for better luck. The graphics and sound are a little disappointing, but it is the first time we’ve seen these card monsters in 3-D. –Porter B. HallAmazon.com Product Description
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists of the Roses features all of your favorite characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated TV series. The new card-movement battle system encourages strategic gameplay, while 680 beautifully rendered 3-D monsters keep the onscreen action exciting and engaging. The game includes three exclusive trading cards.
