Excellent!

Careful what you wish for Dom!

I watched Alita last night and really quite enjoyed it. It makes a few changes with its story compared to that of the manga but overall sticks very closely to the source material. I wasn't sure whether someone unfamiliar with the material would enjoy it as much but seeing that it currently sits with...

You didn't, there's kinda more to it if you investigate the area further

January 2019 podcast

I deleted the demo from my PS4 last night. Even with friends this game failed to ignite any interest. The seen-it-all-before gameplay, convoluted menus and options (just how many invert camera options do I really need?) did nothing but make us want to play something else. Maybe the release version w...

Yeah, I think Alex raises good points in his post about spoilers for multiple games.

It'd be better if people put the title of the game followed by whatever they've got to say behind spoiler tags regardless so to avoid problems down the line.

I am waiting for Alita: Battle Angel. Really want it to appear in cinemas even sooner than possible. Me too! Been an avid reader since the English language version first appeared and still have the first dozen monthly comics that were released by Viz media back in the day, along with every single c...

I played the demo last night and whilst I'm fully aware that it may not necessarily represent the finished game it bored the hell out of me after just 40 mins. Destinty-esque in so many ways but without the "feel" of the combat which for me was the single most redeeming aspect about Bungie's effort....

I'd LOVE for someone to like Rockstar to make a proper open world pirate game some day. It seems like a genre that is ripe for videogame possibilities, but so few ever get made. Black Flag is the closest thing we have, but I thought it was kind of good despite itself and was bogged down with a lot ...

I'd personally say the new Shadow still falls under 'remake' since 100% of the visuals were created for this version and although they have the original codebase in there, they added more to it such as a new control scheme. Videogames often reuse tweaked code from past titles (Assassin's Creed games...

No problem, must admit though I've only seen the first two episodes then got sucked into watching Sirius the Jaeger (no game-related trivia but loadsa blood and vampires) instead, must go back to it this week.
