System:

I have always wanted Quentin Tarintino to make a video game. The way he makes his films, with over-the-top violence, plenty of sex, ass loads of awesomeness, and way too much dialogue would make the perfect video game script.

However, that’s not likely to happen any time soon. So instead, us gamers have to look to Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture to get our overdose of interactive bad assery, and Suda’s latest masterpiece, No More Heroes 2, is more than enough for any gamer craving something out of the ordinary in the best way imaginable.

Review:

The story for Desperate Struggle picks up three years after the first game, the events of which saw Travis Touchdown climb the ranks of the assassination games to the number one spot and then simply walking away. After being suckered into a fight with the 51st ranked assassin, Skelter Helter, and having the disembodied head of his best friend, Bishop, thrown through his window in a paper bag, Travis is given no choice but to begin a new killing spree and climb to the top of the ranks all over again if he wants to get revenge on his friend’s murderers.

While the story is decent, it’s the characters that really stand out. Suda and his team have done an amazing job crafting unbelievable, over-the-top characters that feel, some how, alive. Every boss you encounter is truly unique, unlike any other you’ll see in the game. Just as interesting are the characters who help progress the story. Sylvia, your representative in the assassin games, is the one you interact with most. Sexy, seductive, and always under dressed, she is the one who sets up each and every fight you’re going to enter. Side mission characters like the overly flamboyant Ryan are great for a laugh, and their dialogue is spot on.

Gameplay is essentially the same as it was in the original, albeit improved upon very subtly. However, those minor improvements, tweaks, and refinements make combat much smoother and far more clean than it was in the first game. The over the top, beat ‘em up combat is very simple to understand. Tilt the Wiimote upwards and hit the ‘A’ button for a high attack, point it downward with ‘A’ to execute a slower but more powerful low attack.

Throw in some motion-activated moves and melee attacks (‘B’ trigger) to make effective combos. Once an opponent runs out of health, you are given an opportunity for a powerful, bloody finishing move, pulled off by swinging the Wiimote along with on-screen quick time commands. The results involve disembodied heads, buckets of blood, and, for whatever reason, a tornado of dollar bills shooting from your opponents gaping wounds.

There are a few instances in the game where you’ll have to play as a character other than Travis, one of which is our lead character’s student Shinobu, a fast-moving, stealthy assassin with the ability to jump. Sounds awesome, right? Wrong. The missions with Shinobu center almost entirely around her ability to jump, and the way the programmers designed the character to handle makes for some of the most painful platforming I’ve ever had to endure. You have little to no control of where she goes, what she lands on, what she falls off of, or which way she’ll jump. Things are made even worse by the game’s camera, which often times does whatever the hell it wants instead of doing something that would make sense, like staying behind your character. These Shinobu portions are, without a doubt, the worst parts of the game.

Also, there’s a pretty good chance of turning into a tiger during combat for no reason at all. It’s never explained, never talked about, nothing. It just happens randomly. If that doesn’t make this game beyond bad ass then I don’t know what does. Maybe the giant robot fight? The tons of explicit language and sexual innuendos? The lead character’s obsession with a Japanese anime starring five busty little girls in skimpy clothing? Yes, it’s all of those things.

In between combat, you have the option of doing a few things around Santa Destroy, although you won’t be traversing the town via your bad ass motorcycle. Instead, everything is handled through a hub menu. If you never played the first game, you may think this sounds like a downgrade. If you have played the first game, chances are you’re pretty thankful they ripped the open world element from the game. It just didn’t work in the original. The engine wouldn’t allow for free roaming. There were glitches, pop ups, and it was just tedious. Now things work much better, and everything can be done without the pain of having to deal with clunky, broken driving controls.

The meat of the side missions come in the form of 8-bit style “jobs.” These jobs are minigames that allow you to earn extra cash to spend at Ryan’s Gym, Naomi’s Lab, or clothing store Airport 51. Needless to say, the minigames are absolutely awesome. You’ll be killing bugs, delivering pizzas on a moped that goes over 200 MPH, catching coconuts, and picking up trash from outer space. There will be the occasional and they bomb hard. Horrid controls, terrible visuals, and overall stupid design decisions make the 3D minigames some of the biggest messes I’ve ever seen.

Final Words:

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is awesome. Entirely bad ass. It’s like playing a Quintin Tarintino movie, no joke. The stylized visuals give the game personality, though are technically very unimpressive and even outright ugly on the occasion, the audio is a real treat, and there will rarely be a conversation of in-game banter where you won’t bust out laughing, and the combat is, for the most part, very satisfying and fluid.

It is nowhere near perfect, but it is a huge improvement over the original, and No More Heroes was a great game. Though flawed, this is one of the funnest games you’re going to find on the Wii, and I highly recommend picking it up if you’re looking for a brawler with buckets of blood and great combat controls.

Pros

• Like playing a Quintin Tarintino movie
• Combat controls are great
• Boss fights are satisfying
• Mini games are awesome
• Dialogue is hilarious

Cons

• Visuals are technically unimpressive
• Playing as Shinobu
• Pretty short game

Score: 8.25/10 (Great)

“How did it go?” you may ask. Well, generally I ain’t inclined to be the kind to boast, but we had our best day in terms of traffic in over a week. Does this mean I am more qualified to run this little site than Zac Pritcher could ever dream of being?

Yes. Without question.

Day two thus far has been less fruitful, as none of our beloved contributors has composed anything which could be submitted for your reading approval. So instead of not publishing any new content, I came up with an idea.

In addition to my work here, I also contribute to a sports writing site called bleacherreport.com. Ever the supportive friend, Zac has constantly encouraged me to share my work on that site here; an offer I have always declined due to my virtuous modesty. But seeing as how there’s nothing else to post, today seemed like as good a day as any to mold my two scribing worlds together.

So for all those of you who have been eagerly awaiting my opinion on the Greg Olsen trade situation in Chicago, click here to read about it in painfully thorough detail.

Thanks again for making my first day on the job such a success. Feel free to continue to show your support during the week, so we can all work together to make my lifelong dream of making Zac Pritcher obsolete on his own site complete.

These songs can be found on Tristan Clopet & The Juice: Purple EP.

Opening track “So Alive” is lyrically well developed, and really seems to tell a story about personal redemption. It’s a catchy, would be a very radio friendly song, and sounds almost convincingly crossover, but a bit out of place considering the songs that follow it on the EP.

“Proximity Bomb” is an up tempo, funky song that actually reminds me a hell of a lot of Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Tristan actually raps a little, but the music behind him is funky and a little offbeat.

“Superficiality is a Sin” boasts some fantastic guitar work with a funky loop, while “Ethereal Evidence” is yet another RHCP sounding song with a jumpy bassline and plucky guitar work building to a jam.

“Love and a Question” is the disc’s slowest song, and actually the strongest because it sounds the most genuine. While the series of songs that sound like RHCP stuff are enjoyable, they lack a distinct voice or perspective. But this tender song about a missed opportunity at love, really shows the depths the band is capable of. It starts off with a beautiful instrumental section for about the first minute, and then gets into some very real lyrics about a man questioning an old relationship.

Closer “Black Panther Party” takes us right back to the RHCP sound, and is a fine song but I perhaps would have flipped track placement of the last two songs, just to send you off on a stronger note.

Overall, the EP is very interesting. Each song is good and enjoyable, but the two I enjoyed the most on repeat listens were the ones that seemed the most different from the others (“So Alive”, “Love and a Question”). These songs sound the most distinct, the most individual and the most personal.

These musicians might be influenced strongly by a particular band, and are still discovering their own individuality as musicians.  Based on this EP its clear to see the talent is there, and if they can find the formula to discover their own voice they will be quite successful. I think the key will be finding the right balance between one style and the other, and not jumping back-and-forth between them so quickly. But what the hell do I know, I’m just a semi-employed college graduate.

Myself and everyone at Everyview.com would like to thank Tristan Clopet & The Juice for offering us a chance to discover their music! You’ve added one more to your fan base!

Final Score: 7.6/10 (Good)

While he’s gone, he has decided to pass on all the major editorship duties he usually handles, starting with the posting of this little weekly schpeal where we pretend to be delusional enough to believe we actually have readers, to me, Casual Clay Cunningham.

That said, I honestly don’t know exactly what is in store this week. Andrew Majors recently reviewed an EP by Tristan Clopet which I will post tomorrow. I myself may do an untimely and unnecessary review of an 11-year-old My Morning Jacket album, I haven’t yet decided.

Before we get into anything major, I feel the need to apologize in advance if the quality of work this week is a bit on the substandard side. Keep in mind I have never, nor have I ever desired to, run a website before, so I could prove to be in over my head. But no matter how bad it gets, everyone’s favorite manipulative bastard (who likely regrets letting me write this) will be back in a weeks time. Thanks, and please don’t give up on us based on this week.

The Crazies

Shortly after this scene I set my hopes high for a frightening, heartless celebration of gore and violence. What The Crazies delivers instead is a tale of survival against a disease cause by government corruption and dishonesty. It turns out the entire epidemic was caused by the crash of a plane carrying some chemical weapon into the town’s drinking water. When David and Russell stumble across this problem, things in the story finally start to progress.

The Sheriff and his wife Judy (Radha Mitchell), Deputy Clank, and one other survivor, a young teenage girl by the name of Becca Darling (Danielle Panabaker) find themselves to be the sole survivors who are running for their lives, not only from the townspeople, but also from the troops the government has sent in to capture, murder, and burn anyone alive in the town to destroy the virus and keep it from spreading.

Director Eisner tries his best to create a film that is moody and suspenseful, and while he doesn’t fail completely, the end product is at times so predictable it is almost frustrating. You know early on who is going to die and who isn’t, simply through the dialogue. There are very few surprises throughout the film and even less scares, though there are plenty “Holy shit that startled me!” moments to help make the theater-viewing experience a bit more fun.

My biggest complaint about the film is this; every time it looks like a lead character is about to get brutally murdered, another lead character comes out of nowhere and delivers a quick bullet through the torso at the last second. This happens so often, that you eventually quit worrying about anyone with more than three speaking lines.

My second most prominent gripe is that, aside from the disappointingly small amount of gore, though the cleverly edited Hollywood trailers and commercials seemed to promise buckets and buckets of it, there is an intense lack of creativity when killing off any character, be they one of the Crazies or a member of the government agency. It’s almost always just a quick bullet or two through the torso, maybe to the head, and that just gets boring too quickly.

The quality of acting is mostly good with a few exceptions caused by seemingly forced dialogue, especially noticeable in Timothy Olyphant’s performance as he occasionally gives off that Mark Walhberg in The Happening vibe. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’re lucky. That’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Basically what I’m trying to say is that he rarely seems genuine or believable, and it’s often obvious that he’s just acting from a script. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Joe Anderson does a phenomenal job of portraying the Deputy, and he really creates a lovable, enjoyable, most importantly believable sidekick.

The most consistent part of the film is probably the pacing at which it moves along. That’s not necessarily good though. Just when things start to look up for the cast of survivors, something bad happens. This repeats itself over and over, even to the very last shot of the film. For the first 25-30% it’ll have you in it’s grip, but after that The Crazies becomes predictable and bland.

Final Words:

All things said, this film is meh. It’s certainly watchable and entertaining to a degree, but it falls short of being anything believable or truly scary, both of which are crucial to helping The Crazies accomplish anything noteworthy or spectacular. Inconsistent acting hurts the overall product, and the complete predictability of any potentially frightening or suspenseful situation keeps this film from being anything memorable.

Score: 6.0/10 (Below Average)

Did Peter call?

Overview:

I’m not a particularly political person. That is to say, I’m not a political person in any imaginable sense. While the Obama stickers I have plastered all over my car and laptop computation device make an undeniably impressive statement, they are there not because of my bleeding heart liberal passion, but rather because I was too lazy to remove them after receiving both the car and the computer as hand-me-downs from my tree-hugging younger brother.

I do, however, know funny (a fact confirmed indisputably by the Tri-County High School Class of 2003, who voted me the “funniest” graduate of our 53 member graduating class), so I think it certainly deserves noting when I say the new British political ensemble comedy In The Loop is as funny a movie as I have seen in several years.

Plot Outline:

As U.S. and British government forces are planning to invade an unnamed Middle Eastern Country, mid-level British official Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) mistakenly claims war to be “unforeseeable” in a radio interview. This slip-of-the-tongue enrages some of his colleagues, and gets him unwittingly put in the middle of both British and American political forces on both sides of the war issue.

Review:

In The Loop, a spinoff of the British series The Thick Of It, is shot in a sort of mock documentary (or as I like to to say “mockumentary”) style which gives it an effectively authentic feel. I’m generally not a person who desires to be a “fly-on-the-wall” during closed-door governmental meetings, but if the discussions were as consistently amusing as they are in this movie, it may be enough to peek my interest in the political process.

The pacing of this movie is break-neck, with jokes flying from all angles of the screen, often times at a rate so fast you hardly have time to acknowledge them. The conversational flow is so smooth and real it almost plays as if the dialogue is improvised. The fact that it wasn’t is a great testament to the work director Armando Iannucci, and his four co-writers who made a consistently hilarious and realistic dialogue-based comedy, which is considerably harder than most people understand.

The performances are all consistently good. Aside from former Sopranos star James Gandolfini, who’s very funny as an American General, there aren’t many actors who will be instantly recognizable to most American audiences (though fans of the movie My Girl may be surprised to see the girl who played Vada is apparently still acting). Hopefully that will change, as there isn’t a single bad performance given from the cast of dozens.

I especially liked the work of Zach Woods. Woods, who some may recognize from his role as the young Sabre executive on the smoking crater that is The Office, is pitch-perfect as Chad, an obnoxious suck-up Washington intern. Anyone who doesn’t laugh when Chad, an only child, brags about his resilience in being born to his infertile parents (“I’m the sperm that made it!”) doesn’t know funny like I do (see paragraph two of “Overview” for my credentials).

The movie is also very sly. Aside from not stating which country is being invaded, neither the President or Prime Minister is shown or even named, as the movie focuses on the actions of their aides, who are almost exclusively portrayed as selfish and self-serving jerks who will walk over anyone to get what they desire without giving a second’s thought to their actions. The only character who seems to attempt to conduct himself honestly is the patsy Simon Foster, whose life and career are in complete shambles as the movie ends. It’s not exactly difficult to decipher how the filmmakers view the ethics of politicians.

And while the movie doesn’t hesitate to portray its characters as cruel, manipulative monsters, I think what sets it apart is that it doesn’t make the cardinal mistake of a lot of political satires and portray its characters as idiots. Regardless of what anyone thinks of elected officials, the fact of the matter is they didn’t get where they are by being idiots. To portray these characters as drooling buffoons would have been too easy, and would have gotten old quickly. While the characters here do make mistakes, sometimes awful ones, they are also human ones, and with relatability comes hilarity.

Final Words:

It’s hard to truly critique this movie because there are too many characters and storylines (in addition to the war struggle, there are also prominent storylines involving an anti-war paper and an issue with Foster and a local citizen over a wall in his backyard) which move too quickly to give an accurate description of everything while simultaneously expressing how truly excellent it is. But mark my words, if you are looking for a smart, edgy and hilarious comedy at the video store, you will have a difficult, difficult, lemon difficult time finding one smarter, edgier and more hilarious than In The Loop.

The whip-smart dialogue and thick British accents several characters possess may not appeal to all audiences, but if you can keep up with all the proceedings, this is a movie you shouldn’t hesitate to see.

Final Score: 9.25/10

Los Campesinos! come right out of the gate here sounding much different than the band I got to know for the first time at Lollapalooza last August. There, they seemed like seemingly endless balls of eclectic pop-punk energy, giving what is easily the most raw, in your face live performance I’ve seen in my life. Here, as soon as the album begins with “In Medias Res”, they seem to have slowed down, taken a step back and realized that surely that kind of angst and intensity will kill you. While it still has their distinct large band flavor, the entire effort seems more focused, more contemplative, and a lot less reliant on catchy tongue-in-cheek lyrics and in your face aggression.

Romance is Boring seems to be taking one step back and three forward. Where their recipe for success was quite delicious on their previous album and EPs, they became a tough band to recommend. They were like a very spicy curry. Delicious if you like it, but a lot of people just can’t stomach it. Here, what they’ve done is slowed down without compromising their grit, and the final product is the better for it. It seems as if their brash pop-punk mixture has been tweaked into a more experimental grunge-punk hybrid, which is definitely a unique sound.

The band has always given your ears plenty to discern, between lead singer Gareth’s raw, direct lyrics and the accompanying big band sounding music. This album turns a page from more electronic sounding pop-punk to guitar driven, lyrically focused music. But they never lose their bite, as Gareth’s lyrics seem to have been the major catalyst for the change in sound for the band. Whereas on previous albums there was a big focus on the cutesy, rhyming lyrical content and eclectic instrumentation, Romance is Boring boasts lyrics that sound like someone trying less to pop a crowd and instead to tell a story. The lyrics are intense and poetic all at the same time, rarely sounding like over structured emo Shakespeare and instead like the abrasive 20-somethings the band actually is. “Straight in at 101″ is the perfect example. It’s a song about sexual frustration, but the directness is actually the charm.

Final Words:

If you want to check out Los Campesinos, this would be their easiest album to recommend. Where their previous efforts are much more up tempo with in your face pop-punk  teeth, this album offers more collectively and overall. With Romance is Boring, Los Campesinos seem much less aware of what they are trying to be and more focused on what they are. This is a bold step for any developing band, but for one who had a formula for success-to tinker with it midstream was risky. It’s all about embracing the right maturity for you, and Los Campesinos obviously understand themselves better than anyone else. Like any maturing entity, change is necessary. Change is good. Change is change.

Final Score: 8.0/10 (Great)

System:

In a time dominated by Call of Duty, Battlefield: Bad Company brings something to the First Person Shooter table. With the launch of its sequel only hours away, I figured I would give you folks a taste of what was, and of what can be expected. Bad Company delivers in many areas that other FPS games don’t, namely, environment. When you get in the game, I urge you, take a look around at a building or tree and SHOOT at it.

Trees come down, windows break, grenades will BLOW UP WALLS! Artillery and tank rounds will leave smoldering craters where people once were and buildings will crumble. The game brings a fantastic sense of realism on the virtual battlefield by allowing both the player and AI to change the playing field at almost any time. This leads up to one of my major gripes about Bad Company, namely in the single player area, and that is AI.

Now, your team of oddball soldiers who are made up of a few should be convicts and a Sergeant who wants to get out early seems great, and are GREAT in cutscenes. The problem was that most of the great realism brought about by environments is lost by the Uber-AI soldiers. Stealth seems to be out of the question. Fire a round into a soldier and every other soldier within a three-mile radius will have their sights on you. Your three man team spouts off a lot of funny, spur-of-the-moment commentary as you engage in fire fights, but they tend to get caught up in just standing in a field or staring into space with the rocket launcher as a tank runs over your face.

This is my one major gripe with Bad Company. Some people may consider the weapon system one but I actually enjoy it. Bad Company gives guns a bit differently than its Infinity Ward counter parts. You get a main weapon, grenade, or pistol depending on what type of gun you acquire. AR’s tend to have mounted grenade launchers while shotguns and LMG’s sport traditional pin activated grenades. Sniper rifles come with a close range pistol or revolver for those hard to reach places.

Single player sports a fun story with a slew of 60’s esque surf rock guitar riffs or classical ensembles as you and Bad Company mange to invade a neutral country and trek across several fictional Russian satellites in search of a mercenary leader with an oil tanker full of gold bars. Sound’s a bit goofy? Well it is, but it’s fun.

As a “hand picked” squad of should-be convicts, and the wannabe outdoorsman Sergeant that leads you, you will come across what I thought were several funny interactions and cut scenes.  Sadly apart from said cut scenes your squad will encounter moments of horrendous worthlessness and you would almost rather be playing MW2 and getting beaten by some eleven year old who’s had waaaayyy too much Mountain Dew.

Multiplayer works very similar to the other Battleflied games (and a lot like Call of Duty) with a ranking system and unlock system, as well as a handful of unique goodies that EA was giving out. You get CLASSES! A medic, Engineer, Recon, and Assault class. Each is fairly self-explanatory and has unique strengths and weaknesses easily combated by TEAM WORK! Multiplayer is greatly improved by getting some buddies to form a four man squad with you, and then going out an blowing the ever loving crap out of everything. Did I mention there’s vehicles? Tanks, helicopters, boats, jeeps, not to mention golf carts as well as a slew of artillery and fixed turrets. These handful of goodies give the multiplayer experience a lot more in that you can roll up with a tank for cover, or have someone provide air support in a bird while you try and secure an objective or capture a flag.

Final Words:

In summary, Battlefield:  Bad Company is a fun shooter whether played alone or with friends. The sometimes frustrating AI can get you while you’re down, but the good looking and destructible environments often make up for the flaws in the AI. Multiplayer is a blast and offers a more strategic take on the FPS genre that DICE Studios has always been known for. Though dated (originally released in ‘08) and the highly anticipated sequel hours away, Bad Company is a must for people looking for a fun take on shooters, or people who just want to blow shit up with grenades and rockets!

Pros

• Destructible environments!
• Great graphics
• Lots of ambient noise and fantastic sounds give combat scenes a realistic touch

Cons

• Often bad AI
• Some missions tend to drag out and can put you in frusterating situations (due in part to AI)
• Weapon systems (for some)

Overall: 8.0/10 (Great)

I love television. My favorite shows of all time are Arrested Development, Firefly, Lost, and Pushing Daisies. I also have an obsession with British television. My favorites include the semi-recent adult swim show The Mighty Boosh(which I purchased from England as well as a special DVD player to watch them on), The Office and the other Ricky Gervais series Extras, the Simon Pegg series Spaced, and the brilliantly geeky show The I.T. Crowd.

I am also a big fan of animated stuff too. The Simpsons is great and I will usually give everything on Adult Swim a chance, with a few exceptions (I am looking at you Assy McGee and 12 oz. Mouse). The Venture Brothers may be the best show Adult Swim has ever made.

Pixar has been a fixture in my life for the past few years as well. Up and Wall-e are great films, and the Toy Story movies still hold up, too. They are such masterpieces that I think they should just give Pixar the award for best animated film no matter what they make. As long as it isn’t a sequel to Cars.

My music taste has often been called into question. I really like what many would consider “chick music”. I am a sucker for a girl who can play a piano or ukulele, which is one of the reasons I am dating one. Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls is great. I also really like Tegan and Sara, They Might Be Giants, Regina Spektor, Flogging Molly, Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis, Hard n’ Phirm, Flight of the Conchords, Jonathan Coulton and Vermillion Lies.

Stand up comedy is my favorite thing. I buy a lot of stand up albums, go to comedy shows, and listen to comedy podcasts. Some of my favorite memories include meeting Brian Posehn outside of a comedy club, meeting Maria Bamford and taking a photo with her in that same comedy club, and having Eugene Mirman sign a postcard for me after a Flight of the Conchords show. It can be the best thing in the world if it is done right and I plan on sharing several comedians that you need to look out for.

So that is some basic info about me. I am really excited to write for Everyview and I hope you enjoy reading my stuff. Oh, also: I have a beard.

However, when the folks at Harcos Labs hit me up with an offer to try their newest concoctions, I couldn’t resist. These are the guys behind the Mana, Health, and Blood energy potions, so I had trusted them enough to give me something that hopefully wouldn’t kill me. And if it did I had my fingers crossed that they would release some type of Life Energy Potion next.

At any rate, here’s our review for the line of Nuclear Energy Powders.

Radium Energy Powder

I am very impressed with Radium Powder. It tastes great, the kick is amazing while it lasts, and the product is just plain fun overall. Much like the Mana Potions, it’s definitely marketed towards geeks. With its test-tube container and nuclear substance theme it has the potential to have very wide nerd appeal.

I definitely recommend Radium Energy Powder to anyone with a fancy for fun, geeky products of any type, or anyone looking for a new way to get some energy.

Score: 8.3/10 (Great)

Plutonium Energy Powder:

Though I don’t like Plutonium as much as I enjoyed Radium, this Pear-flavored energy powder is great, and just because it wasn’t my favorite doesn’t mean it won’t be yours. Like I already stated, you should definitely try all the flavors for yourself before making a up your own mind.

The obviously artificial flavor and sourness make this powder more like an everyday candy than a unique energy powder, meaning it stands out less to me. That being said, that may mean a good thing. Something that tastes like a sucker or jelly bean is much more likely to have a broader appeal, meaning the majority of people will prefer it.

Score: 7.9/10 (Good)

Uranium is my favorite flavor of Nuclear Energy thanks to its original flavor concept and stellar execution. The kick is excellent, it’s fairly priced, and it tastes like cake. Effing cake! I suggest this flavor of Nuclear Energy Powders most highly to anyone looking for a very sweet, very unique energy product.

Score: 8.6/10 (Great)

Overall:

I really enjoy the Nuclear Energy Powder line of products. The flavors are unique, the execution is solid, and their ability to perform is competent. Everything from the nuclear concept to the appropriate test tube packaging comes together wonderfully to create a fun, effective image that will definitely appeal to the massive market of geeks that want to get their post apocalyptic groove on, as well as a decent caffeine rush. Sure there are a few short comings, but all-in-all these are great products that are totally worth your money.

I highly recommend giving Nuclear Energy Powders a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

Overall Product Score: 8.3/10 (Great)
