Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:00:00 -0800

If you thought you’d be able to learn everything about the combat tactics of Star Trek Online in just one video diary, would you mind explaining why part two of this video series is sitting just below this sentence? I mean, did you honestly think you’d be able to grasp the complexities and challenges of successfully engaging in space combat that easily? Think again, and then check out this new combat video:

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:00:00 -0800

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Video Game drops you into the war-torn planet of Pandora where humanity is locked in a death struggle with the planet’s native race, the Na’vi. Obviously, this means that players will get to experience two drastically different combat styles, and this new multiplayer trailer demonstrates how this dichotomy plays out in the game’s multiplayer mode.

Tech Review: Insignia 42" LCD TV

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:00:00 -0800

Watch Larger Version of this Video

With stereo speakers and 120HZ refresh rate, Best Buy's Insignia 42" LCD TV could be the best Black Friday deal yet at $699. Find out from Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn if this LCD is worth the wait in line. Hope you've got some extra duckets.

Check out the full Attack of the Show review after the cut.

What You Need to Know

The TV measures about 5.5” deep; it's not too thick, but it's not that sleek either.
The two speakers are hidden along the bottom of the screen, which helps streamline the look, but it's still a little boxy.
It does come with 4 HDMI inputs and is wall mountable with 2 HDMIs on the side as well as PC, S-Video and Composite inputs.
The 120 hertz, when cranked all the way up, looked horrible; we got a weird artifact effect that made the playback look wobbly, but as we turned the refresh rate down, it got better.
On top of that, the only other feature that this particular Insignia has is a built in HDTV tuner, which comes standard in most TVs now.
Overall, the features were average.
The 20,000:1 contrast ratio makes colors crisp and vivid.
Grain was a tiny bit apparent in darker scenes, but otherwise it looks better than we've seen on a lot of cheap TVs.
The audio is okay; the two 12 watt speakers can get pretty loud.

Price

$700
You can get it online now, so you don’t have to wait in line on Black Friday.

Overall Rating

Buy.
If you're looking for your first HDTV, this is a good choice. (How do we rate gadgets?)

Feedback -- Thanksgiving Edition

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:41:00 -0800

As many of us head to the airport, headphones firmly in place (with a DS in a pocket, naturally), for this week's round of holiday travel, take solace in knowing this: there's another edition of Feedback to keep you company this week. Whether you're starting to plot out gifts for the rest of the holiday season or contemplating an impulse-buy during the slew of Black Friday sales, Adam Sessler, myself, Abbie Heppe and Dana Vinson gathered earlier this week to discuss the best of the best from 2009!

Watch Larger Version | Watch HD Version

Here's what the crew talked about on this week's Feedback:

For the PlayStation 3 owner in your life, how do you pick between Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Rachet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time, inFamous and Killzone 2? We're here to help.
But what if they only have a Wii? Don't worry, we help you sort through both New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Metroid Prime Trilogy for a balance between cutting edge and nostalgia.
It's pretty likely they're going to have an Xbox 360, too. With Halo 3: ODST and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 populating the online leaderboards, there's some serious competition.

Feedback, suggesting violent games for the holidays since...well, ever. Bring joy and subscribe:

This week, we have much to be thankful for. One thing we should all be thankful for is the fact that Adam Sessler takes the time out of his busy schedule each week to let us know what's on his mind.

Leaked Footage from Twilight: Breaking Dawn?

Alright, so there's a chance that this may not be actual footage leaked from the upcoming Twilight: Breaking Dawn film, but today on Attack of the Show, we're excited to show you what could happen to Bella and Edward. They clearly did not take Kevin and Olivia's advice from our earlier spoof (above) very seriously. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to deal with these angry hordes of Twilight fans.

Style Savvy Review with Abbie Heppe

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:47:00 -0800

Hooray! Your requests (there were none, actually) for a Style Savvy review have been answered! In short, this game is a joy and it’s a shame no one can embrace their inner girly girl long enough to appreciate it. Well, I’m here to act as your inner girl-child for the day and tell you exactly what makes Style Savvy so great. Did all those games push their release dates in fear of Modern Warfare 2…or were they really worried we’d all be caught up styling our mannequins while gearing up for the platinum fashion contest? Okay…probably the former, but don’t dismiss Style Savvy just yet…watch.

Nugget From The Net: Modern Warfare 2 Rick-Roll

The whole Rick-Roll thing is completely tired and dead, but you have to hand it to the creator of the below Modern Warfare 2 Rick-Roll for attention to detail alone. Bonus points for keeping a straight face.

Moral of the story: Don't have your copy of Modern Warfare 2 delivered to your friend's house.
