The All-Star Toons of Nicktoons MLB

Recently I wrote a review of Nicktoons MLB, a new baseball game featuring real MLB players and Nicktoons stars. But since I like cartoons so much, I wanted to write a separate blog featuring all the Nickelodeon characters found in MLB, as well as some of my favorite Nicktoons. Kind of like what I did with Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion. So get your peanuts and hot dogs ready as we look at all the characters in Nicktoons MLB. At least the toons anyway, I’m not going into all the real MLB players in the game!

Game Review: BloodRayne: Betrayal (Xbox LIVE, PSN)

Before I start the review of this surprisingly good game, I just have to say one thing. I can’t stand vampires. People who suck blood? That just sounds so gross! I grill my steaks very well done so I don’t see any pink in them, that’s how bad I am. And don’t get me started on stuff like Twilight. Blech! So naturally I don’t enjoy very many vampire video games. So what makes the downloadable BloodRayne: Betrayal special? Why did I like it so much? Well you’ll just have to read the review to find out!
