'Rayman' revival a sure hit

Ubisoft's popular limbless mascot has been MIA on consoles since his previous entry, "Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc" from last generation. "Rayman Origins" marks his valiant return and offers one of the best 2D platformers on consoles. The manic gameplay perfectly complements the stunning visuals and has effectively brought a long-dormant franchise back into relevancy.

A few of my favorite things

I am currently sitting in my bedroom, staring out the window wondering a few things.  First, why is there no snow on the ground?  I want a white fluffy winter wonderland, not that unappealingly grey stage between autumn colors and wintery awesomeness.  Second, why is it dark at 4:45 p.m.?  I don’t know why this surprises me so much every year, but I also don’t know why daylight saving time can’t be a permanent change.  And third, can I get out of this last week of school if I jump out the window and break my legs?

Column: Packers should be thankful for the rise of “Tebow Time”

Based on the amount of media coverage of Tim Tebow that I’ve had to endure since he took the reins of the Denver Broncos’ offense, I think it is fair to say that Tebowmania has engulfed the NFL.

Rihanna's direction stems from assault

Rihanna is the universal pop star. She lives in the upper echelon of fame, that mostly vacated space once occupied by untouchable stars like Elton John and Jimmy Page. The old icons were backed by wheelbarrows of LP and concert ticket dough and were not necessarily expected to engage with masses such as human beings. Before the turn of the century, there were a ton of arena-packing musicians who must have seemed like Norse gods or aliens from the back rows.

Badgers stun defending national champions

The University of Wisconsin Badger volleyball team (6-8 Big Ten, 14-12 overall) made a big statement on Sunday in front of more than 4,000 fans, shocking Penn State (11-3, 18-6), the four-time defending NCAA champions. Lead by freshman Ellen Chapman's career day (18 kills, 14 digs), the Badgers beat the Nittany Lions in five sets. Fumbling slightly in a hard fought third, and falling further in the fourth, the pressure didn't seem to get to the Badgers as a 15-12 fifth set sealed the deal. Sunday's win gave Wisconsin its biggest upset since 2006, also against Penn State. Wisconsin will take on No. 23 Michigan on Friday night and Michigan State on Saturday night at the UW Field House.

It's not the end of the world as we know it

When R.E.M. broke up last week, I didn't feel the loss. When the White Stripes called it quits, sure. When Sony announced it was firing Sam Raimi and rebooting the Spider-Man franchise, Jesus; I didn't answer my phone for a day and a half. Instead, I just sat alone in my apartment and drank, cursing Topher Grace at the top of my lungs. There really wasn't much else to do.

Looking forward: Stunning spring staples

Although Madison's weather can't decide if it's winter or spring, sporadically fluctuating from snow to sunshine, it is eventually going to take a turn for the better. In light of this fact, we must  be wardrobe-ready. On these random sunny days, collegians all over town are rejoicing and shedding their layers to show off their spring styles.  It seems like years since we've been able to walk down State Street without a jacket covering any attempts we have made at being trendy.  This spring's fashion is all about mixing masculine with feminine.  Dainty meets tough, which  is perfect for festivals, bike rides and barbecues.  It's time to show skin in unexpected yet sexy and sweet ways.  For the boys: a casual beachy look gets a touch of sophistication by mixing in timeless, preppy pieces.

April abounds with film-related events

I still haven't seen ""The King's Speech."" I was supposed to save a spot in line for myself and my roommates when the film was shown at the Play Circle a few weeks ago. But I got distracted sitting with friends in the Rathskellar, and by the time I arrived upstairs, the line stretched down the hallway. Whoops. While my roommates were mildly annoyed, I told them not to worry: There is a huge variety of films and people associated with films coming through Madison. So here you go roomies, a short summary of some film opportunities here on campus.

'Jane Eyre' adaptation preserves greatness of original novel

I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to film adaptations of books. ""Jane Eyre"" is one of my favorite novels and I was skeptical when I heard yet another novel I loved was hitting the big screen. My curiosity did get the best of me, however, and Sunday afternoon I found myself at the Sundance Cinemas. Ticket in hand, I took my seat and prepared myself for the inevitable ruining of yet another classic.
