Carcassonne
|
|
Rating: 10/10

|
A tile-laying game that can be learned in 5 minutes, Carcassonne is my favorite board game. Play is quick, simple but with a LOT of strategy. A great game to try with your non-board game friends.

Runebound
|
|
Rating: 9/10
|

Is Runebound a board game or a role-playing game? It actually does a good job of straddling the line. You start with a character that explores the wilderness and has encounters. The encounters ramp up from green to yellow to blue to red. You select the pace. As your character succeeds, you increase attributes and gain equipment, making your character better. Gains don't carry over to the next game, so this really is a board game, but each character has a personality of how they work that you can control by the advancements you select. The game is very re-playable, and there are simple inexpensive expansions that make the experience brand new.

The Exterminators Graphic Novel
|
|
Rating: 9/10
|
|
Volume one of this now-defunct Vertigo series is still as much weird fun as it was when it first came out 5 years ago. The Exterminators follows the adventures of a group of misfit exterminators working for a pest control company in Los Angeles. While that may sound pretty lame as the plot of a comic series, The Exterminators delves into pretty deep subjects, from the rise and fall of civilizations based on thier pest control problems to the rat mazes we humans build for ourselves and run through in our lifetimes. The Exterminators is full of all kinds of horror and strangeness, lurking just under your kitchen counter...I highly recommend you check out volume one "Bug Brothers" for yourself. Read it with the lights on and try to ignore that scuttling sound...

The Filth
|
|
Rating: 8/10
|
|
This classic graphic novel from Grant Morrison is full of all the psycho-social-sexaul head-trips you'd expect from one of the most experimental writers in comics today. The Filth is Morrison at his finest. The concepts Morrison presents in The Filth echo in most of his other works from Batman to the Invisibles. This new edition of the graphic novel is a must-read for Morrison fans. Most comics fans love or hate Morrison, but both camps agree his tales are unforgettable.
