BEST OF THE MONTH

December 2003

This month various members of our staff give you their picks.

BEST CD RELEASE

Bruce Dickinson - Chemical Wedding 

None of the music released this December really excited us so we let John pick any CD he wanted as best of the month.  John was so excited that he picked Bruce Dickinson's CD and managed to point out that it was released in September of 1998 off the top of his head.  I don't know what's sadder that John knew the exact release date of a five year old CD or that you could purchase this CD brand new for $1.99 at BMG.  Only John knows.

BEST VIDEO GAME RELEASE

Midway Arcade Treasures - Multi Platform  

For ever fan of arcade games and who is so annoyed that they bought the Nintendo version of paperboy or Gauntlet and was so unsatisfied all you wanted to do was go back to the arcade and play the original ... look no further. Midway has satisfied our nostalgic needs and put together a game that features all our favorite classics: Gauntlet, Rampage, Spy Hunter, Smash TV, Root Beer Tapper, 720, Joust, and believe there is much, much more. All versions are complete arcade translations so don't get a tear in your eye when you remember being a wee lad and how exciting it felt to get up to level 147 of Gauntlet. save that for me because I'm such a wus. Anyway, did I forget to mention this game is only $20 for 24 games. sweet dude, sweet.

BEST DVD RELEASE

Escape From New York - Special Edition

You can't go wrong with "Escape from New York".  It kicked ass twenty years ago and it still kicks ass today.  It kicks as much ass as it did when it first came out, if not more.  Plus it has an ass-load of special features and deleted scenes.  Which is like a double dose of ass kicking.

BEST MOVIE RELEASE

The Lord of the Rings:  Return of the King 

Churroflex chose this film as the best of the month because he likes the hobbits and their big hairy feet and because of Viggo Mortenson and his big hairy .....

You know what, let's just end the best of the month list a little early for December.

-Churroflex

The year has come and gone, so go out and enjoy the best of the final month.  We hope to bring you more "quality" picks in the coming year and no more references to Viggo Mortenson's "sword" and no more obscure music picks by John.
