    The Big Picture: Future Assembly

    Trust me, after Avengers Assemble, there will be another Hulk movie. Mark Ruffalo owned every scene he was in, the hulk gets the most epic moments and funniest bits of the film. Everyone walked out of the cinema talking about the hulk being the best character. There WILL be another film :D

    The Half-Naked Elf Problem

    YOu bring up two good points Shamus. Firstly, I totally agree that the level of scantily clad women in videogames is stupid. However, I seem to remember last year the escapist ran a panel on women in gaming, and I was shocked to find out that a number of high ranking female voices in the gaming...

    Escape to the Movies: The Phantom Menace 13 Years Later

    Summary of this video: "God guys stop being such whingy fanboys, we shouldnt get our expectations up for a movie representative of our childhood" *Then completely contradicts himself by including that bit about the avengers showing he's just doing the same* Part of me really wants the...

    Escape to the Movies: Immortals

    Ok, just saw this film, and I have to say Bob nailed it. To those saying that its just like 300, it shares a similar STYLE with 300, but not similar THEMES. You get all the sexiness of the stylised action, none of the dodgy fascist undertones. As Bob said, the story and characters aren't worth...

    I didn't like Obilivion,should I give the elder scrolls a chance with skyrim??

    I would say give Oblivion another try. The elder scrolls games always require a bit of patience to get into, but they are sooo worth it once you get there (Morrowind doesnt get fun until you hit level 5, and that can be a WHILE.)

    Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic: Return

    Hahaha, I love the inherent difference in all the Old Republic videos I have seen. All cinematics: Absolutely fucking brilliant, completely cinematic and awesome. All gameplay videos: Classic boring MMO click on someone until they are dead gameplay. When you factor in the really stupid...

    The Big Picture: Skin Deep

    Two things: 1) Fine, I'm not suggesting that you qualify everything as your opinion, its an opinion show, and that's fine, you have some interesting and well thought out OPINIONS. My issue is: why call the show "the big picture"- a phrase used to mean "the wider truth" or "in reality". Then ...

    Assassins Unite Across the Ages in Assassin's Creed: Revelations

    so. very. angry. All of space and time to play with, and they rehash the same characters they have already used? AGAIN? ok ok, so ezio is super-bankable, but come one ubisoft, lets see SOME innovation!

    Quit It, Gaming Edition

    hmmm...some interesting stuff there bob. I definitely agree with the whole "divine prophecy" bit. It's overused in game stories, and just serves to justify whatever ridiculous quests the player has to do. However one of the best games which has subverted (sort of) this issue is in Morrowind...

    So You Got a Bad Game for Christmas

    absolutely brilliant article, as always. It's always fascinating, yet also hugely chilling, to see how marketers do their job!

    Critical Miss: Different Creeds

    This I cannot understand. For me Assassin's Creed 2 was nearly the perfect game. The one thing that keeps the series from achieving true perfection is the STUPID STUPID present day storyline. [SPOILERS} The second game had a brilliant story of growing up, betrayal, revenge and knowledge...

    Why Movies Suck Now Part One: The Myths

    I have a bit of a problem with MovieBob referring to V for Vendetta's enemies being called stand ins for the bush administration. I agree with a lot of what Bob says in these columns, but in many cases his (not untypical) patriotism becomes a bit insulting. The government in V for Vendetta...
