    Friday Box-Office: Expendables Can't Beat Week-Old Turtles, Raccoon

    Wow, I hadn't considered that the problems in Ferguson could have an affect on the box office. That is really unfortunate for those guys. I had a decent laugh at the trailer, but like many comedies I was left wondering if I had just seen all the best bits of the movie. That's much closer to the...

    Sophie Turner: "Big Change" for Sansa in Game of Thrones Season 5

    I actually think Sansa is a great character, and in the books her chapters are usually pretty interesting. I always thought the reason people hated her was Once that's over with she becomes very sympathetic and even likeable.

    Check Out The UK Version Of Captain America 2's To-Do List

    I have to say that seeing '1966 World Cup' on the list did strike me as pretty odd. But it made a lot more sense when I considered that Agent Peggy Carter is English. Probably harder to apply similar logic to the other variants. As an aside, Winter Soldier is my favourite MCU movie after the...

    South Park: The Stick of Truth Review - A Storm of Swear Words

    So looking forward to this game. And I'm actually glad that it won't drag on for too long like some RPGs do. Especially if, as you say, some of the jokes overstay their welcome. Just have to avoid learning too much about the game before my copy arrives on Friday.

    Dungeon Keeper Mobile Review - Wallet Reaper

    I though I'd give it a go since it's free and I have absolutely no intention of paying money to any freemium game ever. Usually I take Jim's word as law, but I think he's been a little harsh with this one. That's not to say I think it's a good game, but there are definitely worse examples out...

    PlayStation Plus Subscribers Triple In Volume Since PS4 Launch

    Long before the PS4 launched I was a bit surprised by how many people on my PSN friends list had PS Plus. Having said that, I am one of the people who has joined PS Plus over the holidays despite not owning a PS4 (yet). If you're interested in the games you get then it's well worth it. The...

    Nintendo CEO Taking Huge Pay Reduction Due to the Wii U

    I bought a Wii partly because of Smash Bros Brawl (they sure kept me waiting though) and I really enjoyed it, but I honestly can't remember the last time I used the Wii. I'm not rushing out for a WiiU. There's also the issue of cost, and I know I'm not the only person who can't afford a new...

    Games Workshop Stock Plummets By 24 Percent

    I was a massive fan of GW all through my teens but got out of the hobby about 6 years ago because I didn't have anyone to play it with at the time so I lost interest. I still have all my models, I'm still a fan of the stories, love Dawn of War etc, just couldn't justify carrying on. Recently...

    Xbox One Top-Selling US Console in December, According to NPD

    The important word in this headline is "December" right? The numbers seem fairly close, but we're missing the actual release date of both consoles here. Have either Sony or Microsoft revealed sales figures for specific regions yet?

    Bethesda Bundling Dishonored and Borderlands 2, Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite

    Not really sure who these are aimed at. Not me for sure. Since at least 3 of those games have GOTY versions out I wouldn't dream of buying them without the DLC. If you're instead an early adopter, you would already have them...

    Jimquisition: Early Access

    I just look at early access and think to myself "Why would I pay full price for an unfinished game?" I thought that the deal was you adopted early at a discount and the developer would get funds and feedback in return. What is the incentive to buy at full price?

    Paul's Five Favorites of 2013

    Mixing up Naughty Dog franchises here I think. Nice list, I just wish I had the time and money to play all the games that came out this year.

    Ubisoft: Watch Dogs Could Have Been The Top Launch Title

    When you look at the competition it really isn't that much of a stretch to say that it would have been the best, at least in terms of quality. I don't have a list in front of me but I'm guessing AC4 was already one of the top rated games for XBone/PS4 so if it's of similar quality then it would...

    LoadingReadyRun: Four PS4s

    I think there needs to be some sort of award given for the different number of ways to stack 4 PS4s in an aesthetically pleasing way. Awarded to Paul obviously.

    Escape to the Movies: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

    I have to say that I didn't find this instalment to be a great movie. As an adaptation of a book it was not great, with a few unnecessary changes (WHY a romance subplot???). As a standalone movie it struggles because it's the middle movie and the ending is such a let down. It really felt...
