    Test Your Might

    Thats a joke about Martyrs right? That film blew! Did follow this article up with an impromptu viewing of ;men behind the sun' though and if you've seen it, the cat scene? Now THATS messed up! Thanks Bob! Ruined my night/week/innocence...

    Critical Miss: Doubleplusungood

    I never really got 1984...growing up in London it always felt more like a biography than a work of fiction...

    Exercise Regimes and Getting Fit: Your Advice

    DON'T overdo it! All you'll do is hurt yourself and then give up. Limit yourself to 30 min runs to begin with. Run until you're really out of breath and then walk until you get your breath back; lather, rinse, repeat. This 'interval' training not only helps you get into it at your bodies...

    Critical Miss: Gran Turismo 5

    I want this game...sad face at moneyless hobo-like status!

    Crytek: PCs Are a Generation Ahead of Consoles

    That's not the part they know...well they do they just don't care yet. It's that there's still a lot more that can be done with the tech. Sorry if I didn't make that clear, I thought I did but whatever. The 'gimmicks' of motion control systems are actually a pretty clever way to diversify out...

    Trash-Talking Sony Engineer Blasts Kinect Lightsaber Game

    I've always thought that the true greatness of Kinect wouldn't come through without some kind of additional control mechanism. Specifically integrating your movements and voice into standard controller use, but I digress... Pick up a stick, a broom, a mop, whatever you have lying about and...

    Crytek: PCs Are a Generation Ahead of Consoles

    Well, looks like they've hit a brick wall and are complaining about it. Surely it's more productive to go around, climb over, dig under or smash through the wall? Hell, the truly creative would find a way to dematerialise themselves and walk through it, or transform the solid material into a...

    My Geeky Heart Is Thankful

    That was a lovely video by Pixar, not at all what you'd expect... Green Hornet actually looks surprisingly good...that was a shock! Nolan's tight-lipped mystery clues are always good to hear. Personally, I'm thankful for...erm...I dunno, cheese? We don't really do that in the UK.

    Name Game: Thankful or Fearful

    I think you need to be American for that one...If I hadn't seen that episode of Lie To Me where a guy was crushed to death in a crowd outside a store on Black Friday I'd have been lost.

    PS3 Picked to Pass 360 in 2011

    Good thing I've got the new versions of both then. =) My PS3 is used for media mostly though, it's good to have for Blu-Ray's and streaming through Nullriver but the majority of games are cross-platform and for the most part play equally well on either machine. The X-Box only trumps it...

    Chinese Gamer Gives New Meaning to "Big Screen"

    There's a lot of hatred for the guy that seems misplaced. Don't hate him for doing something pretty awesome and totally self indulgent, hate mankind for creating a society in which that is freely accepted. Ala Capitalism vs Communism. Personally, I think it looks like a waste - it's not one...

    Thriller Killer: Michael Jackson Game Comes With Glove You Can't Use

    Should have said: It's 'dangerous' to 'Jam' in the glove. If 'Someone put your hand out' and 'Wanna Be Starting Something' they'll only 'Fall Again'. Your TV's not 'Unbreakable', it could come 'Off the Wall' and there'll be 'Blood On the Dance Floor'. Now 'Enjoy Yourself' and see if 'You Can't...

    Billy Bob Blames Games for the Sorry State of Hollywood

    I disagree whole-heartedly, primarily because I don't believe that there has actually been a change. Hollywood has always churned out a load of shit. For every One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and American History X there's a dozen Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' or Howard the Duck's...

    Escapist News Network: Stresstris

    Erm...1031?! Granted I haven't played a Gran Turismo since...well since 2, but even then the sheer number of shit car's was overwhelming! Who wants to drive a Fiat Panda through Laguna Seca?

    The Big Picture: Once Upon a Time in The Future

    People are all fairly unanimous in the 'one day we'll live in space' thing. I bet if you asked any child what life will be like in the future they'll say 2 things: Flying Cars and Living in Space. So if we're all so damned sure that we will get there as a species why is no-one making the...
