Here's some work I've done for a character in my novel, hope you enjoy it.

That was awesome! And inspired me - Title - Publisher / Patron One is right, the other wrong Perspective determined by your end of the bond Business: Time spent to money accrued Satisfaction: Entertainment, escapism, joy Neither are working, yet we continue to be coy The truth is...

Wow. Seventy people for three days? Seriously? That's what constitutes academic research into the potential long-term effects of violence in gaming? The negative outcome of the research being 'unpleasant' noises and an increase in the belief that violence in any given situation is a societal...

While on the surface I can see your points I think your perhaps negative connotations of the themes in Halo are largely due to your lack of knowledge about the franchise. You're right the Spartan program is pure facist escapism. Spartan II's are kidnapped at childhood and then trained and...

Here's my favourites, despite their cons I'd still rate them a solid 10 what they achieved at the time of their release is irreplaceable for me although I accept that now they've dated and not always in a good way, personally I'd still play them now, over and above many new games which have...

Avatar 3D is a film where, unlike many films before it, what is really on display and can be considered the 'star' of the film is the concept of Pandora. The planet, creatures and ultimately the Na'vi themselves clearly represent the bulk of thought and budget allocations. There is indeed a...

Jandau - You're right I did neglect multiplayer and that was very wrong of me. Which other features did I forget to mention? I think I covered what's important to the gameplay but your input would be appreciated. Daezd - I really do suck at reviewing games I left out co-op!? And I...

Updated on the 10/07/09 to include technical aspects and both multiplayer modes. Singleplayer - The attraction of a power armoured marine from space carrying enough firepower to tear sizeable holes through buildings and rather miffed xenos of irregular sizes is an attractive prospect for...
