    Which games are you looking forward to this year?

    Killer is Dead - First Suda 51 game since NMH2 has to be worthwhile. Broken Sword - Got in on the Kickstarter so should be playing this nice and early. Remember Me - Hoping for something a little different from this one. Bayonetta 2 - May not be worth the price of of a Wii-U on it's own...

    Your favorite Gameboy Advance games

    Ninja 5-0 and Drill Dozer stick longest in the memory. Most of the Bit Generations puzzlers were quality. Digidrive in particular. Warioware Twisted and Rhythm Tengoku hold a special, mad, place for me. AstroBoy: The Omega Factor was an incredible achievement by Treasure. And of...

    Django Unchained - Text only review

    There's a line in Django Unchained about breaking character. To paraphrase: If you break character, all is lost. If the movie itself took this advice it would be QT's best work. Better than Reservoir Dogs, better even, than Jackie Brown. But, lacking either the faith to let his film...

    Lollipop Chainsaw

    Been a few years since I wrote a review, this was going to be a messageboard post but it got a bit long... far from my best work but thought I'd share anyway... I fired up this game with identical hopes and trepidations to those I had with Grasshopper manufactures previous effort Shadows...

    Dead island trailer is quite emotional

    Exec 1: We need a game that the geeks are going to lap up, a 100% sure fire hit! Exec 2: How do we do that? Exec 1: We just have to figure out what geeks love. Exec 2: Well CoD is sales gold, that's an FPS. Exec 1: GTA is cash-in-a-box, and that's an open world...

    The problem with modern portable systems

    Let me set the scene - It's 2007. To the chagrin of an army of loyal comic geeks the film Ghost Rider is released. The film is terrible. The PS2 game is terrible The XBox game is terrible The PSP game is terrible The Gameboy Advance game is fantastic. Why was the GBA game so...

    What ds game are you looking forward to?

    These forums have long been rife with people who barely get through a thread-title before hitting their internal auto-respond button. And, yes, the other guy, Infinite Space was what I was thinking of. I'll basically buy anything with Platinum or Grasshopper on the box.

    What ds game are you looking forward to?

    I can never remember the name of it but Platinum are doing a game for the DS - bound to be at the very least interesting

    The Wii is getting all the great soundtracks this gen.

    I completely forgot to mention the game that gave me the idea for this post... I just finished Tenchu: Shadow Assassins and it has the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a game - without exception - I can't state strongly enough just how fantastic every tune is.

    The Wii is getting all the great soundtracks this gen.

    I'm lucky enough to own all three of the current home consoles and whilst the little Wii may have visuals that are a bit 5-years-ago the standard of OST is far above that offered by the more powerful machines. First one I noticed was No More Heroes, all the music is great but the main theme...

    Lara Croft: Intentionally flawed or just flawed?

    I never saw a 're-hash' just a series of sequels. Some were bad, some were good. The most recent is as good as the series has ever been. Do you think it would have been a good thing if her story was never explored further than that through the course of the subsequent games? No, I'd say it's...

    Lara Croft: Intentionally flawed or just flawed?

    Couple of recent videos I've seen have both mentioned the fact the Lara Croft is a horrible person - killing and destroying at will for little-to-no reason. Personally, I've always taken the weakness in her character as deliberate - her motivations are as twisted and dark as her methods after...

    Mario = Charlie Chaplin

    Hilarious. How is the videogame medium supposed to progress when it's consumers are constantly demanding 'more of the same'?
