I live in Dublin and while I've not been attacked or mugged myself, you hear a lot about it happening and you have to put up with a lot of scumbags looking for trouble or junkies aggressively begging from you as you go about your business. Usually I try and remain confident, not back down and to...

A noble thought, certainly, but combat (be it shooting, hand to hand, aerial, whatever) is something that games just do well. Drama, comedy, romance all that stuff is simply done better in film and tv (controlled, non interactive media). Maybe we could amend that to toning down graphic...

Yeah, Irish are just better at drinking than anyone else. And maybe it's just me, but I think conversational swearing (ie- not in anger) only sounds ok in an irish accent.

Anyone gonna mention Silent Hill 2? No? Ok then

HEY! No one disses BTVOTD on my watch, it's one of my favorite films ever.

While the article mentioned Bendis, I'm surprised it didn't mention 'Powers'- a real breath of fresh air in the superhero field; as is Kurt Busiek's "Astro City". Keep an eye out for 'Stray Bullets'by David Lapham. It's fairly old (say 10 years or so) but very very good- especially the...

One of the most memorable for me was seeing the intro movie for Legacy of Kain- Blood Omen. Think that just about convinced me to get a playstation, that did. And just about any from Devil May Cry 3- three that spring to mind are the first fight in Dante's shop (with the pizza); the finale to...
