What? No love for X-Wing or Tie Fighter? But I have to agree with the recommendation for Star Control II. I'm also glad that I'm not the only person to see the huge chunks of stuff that Mass Effect lifted from that game

Carol Vorderman left Countdown in 2008. She was replaced by the much nicer looking Rachel Riley

The main reason for remakes and reboots - PEOPLE PAY TO SEE THEM If you cry about a reboot or remake but still fork over the cash to go see it in the cinema then you've no-one to blame but yourself

There's a simple way to stop Hollywood and it's remake/reboot game. Don't pay to see these films. Don't buy the DVD/Bluray. If a restaurant/fast food place is running a tie-in promotion with the film, don't eat there. It comes down to one thing, the bottom line. If a film doesn't make it's money...

I dunno, Bob's not gone on about his butt-hurt about Kevin Smith for awhile. I'd imagine that would likely make a re-appearance.

A lot of it comes down to the story being told. The Marvel films seem to go more for story and character (along with very good choices for actors) to carry their films, so the CGI is there just to enhance what's already happening. Other films, certainly the prequel Star Wars films try to make...

One of the all time classic games that seem to be tragically overlooked. It has everything, exploration, combat, adventure and a great story with intelligent and funny dialogue. Oh and the awesome music. I would love to see the game get an XCOM style re-make as this classic needs to...

I did like the way they shot the scene in Dent's office where half his face is almost constantly in shadow. I'm assuming it's meant as a nod to the character's future role and not just a lucky bit of lighting

Don't want to nitpick, but the original Halloween was a 70's film, not 80's

When I think of modern technology, I think back to my childhood and specifically a Saturday morning TV show called Going Live and on that, one April 1st, they had a new piece of technology that could play any song you could think of almost instantly. At the time (I'm guessing about 1987/88ish)...

Love how people are bitching about the save system. I'm old enough to remember gaming before most games had save systems. You complete the game in one sitting or you don't complete it

I'm kind of thinking that people are claiming a bugged AI for the game's difficulty. No, the game is far from perfect but it's far removed from any game I've played in a long time in terms of difficulty. I think people have become too reliant on predicable patterns for bad guys that you can...

Jesus, yes, we get it. Bob has big butt-hurt over Kevin Smith and his movies not living up to some mythical standard that Bob thinks they should have attained. Did the guy blank you at a convention or something? Just move on for god sake

I watched it and really, the only thing I took away from it was "Meh, it was ok I suppose". The main gags had already been spoiled in the build up so beyond those there wasn't really anything of major note. The whole thing with Brian/Chris and Santa's Little Helper was a story that never...
