Emily Osment’s Fight or Flight
Her first studio full-length album is what I’d call a techno-mix of LIGHTS, Metric, and Shania Twain. She started as an actress, gracefully moved into the music space, and as of tomorrow, will be launching Fight or Flight in the USA. The album has been in Canada for a week now – a tribute to [...]
"Metroid: Other M" Review
I am probably one of the few gamers in the world that have no pre-conceived notions when walking into the Metroid universe. I’d never played a single Metroid game until recently picking up Metroid: Other M for a review. I’m not sure whether or not that was a good or bad thing at this point. [...]
Halo: Reach Review
Welcome to Bungie’s final hurrah as caretakers of the Halo franchise. There have been high ups and only a few downs here and there (I’m looking at you, Halo 2 ending), but this venerable series has taken gamers on a ride over the past decade. Does the last instalment from one of gaming’s most powerful [...]
Halo: Reach Control Point Defense
Halo: Reach is almost upon us. We are close to launch, and close to destruction. But there are a few events that happen every time a massive game like Reach comes along, and they have to do with something we all call…. uh, marketing. Last week, two events were held – one in Toronto, another [...]
Interview: Scott Jones of Reviews on the Run
If you don’t know who Scott Jones and Victor Lucas are, you don’t deserve to call yourself a gamer. At least, not a Canadian one. If you do know them, good job, you pass the (first) test. The second is whether or not you knew that these two awesome guys were hanging around at Fan [...]
My how you’ve grown!
Hi there everybody! So there has been a bit of an unexpected hiatus these last twenty days or so! Actually, Eggplante was victim to a hacker (or two or three) that didn’t do much damage other than wipe out the last bunch of posts we had on here. In any case, I’m working to get [...]
Kinect vs. Move
When two of the three largest players in the video game industry announce potentially game-changing devices (no pun intended), set to launch within mere months of each other, there is no telling just how many times the technologies will be compared. So I’ve been thinking about it on my own, and here is the conclusion [...]
Crackdown 2
by John Kalanderopoulos, Gaming Reviews July 29, 2010 Crackdown 2 never really appeared on my radar until I was asked to review it and so that being said I had no real idea of what to expect until I popped the disc in. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite a great game but it seemed like it [...]
MMVA 2010
There is no bigger event in the Canadian Music Landscape when it comes to pop stars, live shows, and audience participation. This is the 2010 Much Music Video Awards. And the show this year was big. How big? Well, as if Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber wasn’t enough, how about Ke$ha and Hedley? No? Hmmm, [...]
Justin Bieber is dead.
The Eggplante has been on a bit of a hiatus lately, as you may have noticed. The reason? A much needed vacation. There is no reason for the silence other than the lack of content to post up. I’m away in Europe for the first time in four years, visiting family, travelling with friends, and [...]
