Despite the games setting in Mexicos pagan land of the dead, Grim Fandango bears little resemblance to anything remotely ideological regarding life and death. It was simply a fascinating and engaging tale of intruigue, romance, and crime that is so typical of the film noir genre (e.g. Casablanca). T..

PlayStation 2 Eye Toy |
Video game makers have been experimenting with live-action video in games since the early 1980s but EyeToy (a digital camera for PlayStation2) marks the first time its been done right.

Shall We Dance? |
On his evening commute, bored accountant Sugiyama (Koji Yakusho) always looks for the beautiful woman who gazes wistfully out the window of the Kishikawa School of Dancing. One night he gets off the train, walks into the studio, and signs up for a class. Soon Sugiyama is so engrossed in his dancing he practices his steps on the train platform and under his desk, and becomes good enough for competition, compelling his wife to hire a private investigator to find out why he stays out late and returns home smelling of perfume.

I cringed throughout the FIRST VIEWING, unsure what to expect, fearing revulsion in each scene. The SECOND VIEWING was better, I knew what to expect: a simple plot about unchecked p..

I suppose I can understand where so many of my fellow viewers claim that the characters in L!V!C! are sterotypes. For the most part, they do fall into cliched perceptions of gay men...however one must bear in mind that not only is the author a gay man...he is a multiple Tony award winning playwright..
