Peter's Reviews

Joe Frazier was one of the best boxers to ever live but very few can survive the fight against cancer which took his life yesterday.

GTA V has finally been confirmed but don't get your wallet out yet, we may not see it until 2013. I'm excited because this is the franchise that made me buy my first game system, the Sony PS2 many years ago.

Now this is what rock used to be about, great vocals, great songs, harmony guitar solos and a ton of attitude. This still holds up for me today even though Phil Lynott and Gary Moore have since passed on.

It's pretty amazing that so many iconic lines were the result of talented actors improvising their dialogue. This is a well produced video that's worth watching all of it.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if enough people would like the dry, oddball humor of "Bob's Burgers" but a second season has just been ordered by Fox. From the first few minutes of the premiere I loved it and it doesn't hurt that the voice of Bob is veteran voice actor Jon Benjamin, star of Archer and co-star of Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist. This is the kind of show that you'll know if it's for you by the first commercial break. Let me know if you like Bob's Burgers.

In one sentence all I can say is that I've been playing Tiny Tower on both my iPhone and iPad nonstop since I downloaded it. Similar to games like Zynga's Cityville, your goal is to develop and design a tower and keep your residents both employed and happy. It's a simple premise but what makes the game fun is the small touches like their humorous in game parody of Facebook. If you're a Sim game fan, you'll enjoy Tiny Tower, a game that's stripped down to some simple but fun gameplay.
