Our top 5 games we can’t wait to be released!

Ok so everyone has a list of games they just cant wait for. Well its time we threw our lists at ya. Agree, disagree, or whatever. Its a free country. Just dont mess with Virtua Fighter 4. The Hamster wont be happy!


Who’s in YOUR wagon-train?

What could possibly be worthy of spending yet another 7 bucks on a cell phone game to play while waiting to pick someone up in their driveway, sitting in a movie theater, or while you are on the bowl?

You know you want to spend $6.99 for unlimited access to OREGON TRAIL MOBILE!!!

That’s right!  


Episode 6: Hot for Powerstone

We are happy to bring you another episode of the Spark Box Show Podcast this week. I was worried we would not have enough material for you, but I threw something together. No james, but we do have the first appearance of Alex! Yay!


And this weekends winners are…..

 

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull debuted #1 at the box office this weekend, earning $101 million. The film earned $126 million since opening on Thursday and had the highest per theater average of any film in the top ten with $23,708 per theater. The opening now stands as the 10th biggest ever (Spider-Man 3 remains #1 with $151.1 million). The film also had the 9th highest single day gross ever, with $37 million on Saturday (#1 is Spider-Man 3 with $51.3 million on 5/05/07) and the 4th highest Thursday gross ever with $25 million (#1 is Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith with $50 million).

So with Indy taking over the box office this weekend. Lets see how the rest of the competition came in.


Weezer + internet memes = LOLz

I don’t know how many of you are into Weezer, but I’m a pretty big fan. Some of you might remember back in ‘05 when they took a bunch of their biggest fans to record a video for the song Beverly Hills at the Playboy Mansion. The new Red Album comes out on June 3rd and the fun has already begun.


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Should you take some time out of your holiday weekend to see it?

Ok, its finally here. Indiana Jones 4 has arrived at a theatre near you! But is it worth watching? Was the hype correct? Does Harrison Ford still have it? You be the judge.


Bringing oldschool games into current gen gaming

Much like the movie industry adapting classic books or revamping films, the gaming industry often reaches back in their catalogs to games of yore. Developers such as Sega and Capcom are bringing back some games which I remember spending countless hours playing.
