    Unsettling Moments in Video games.

    SOMA has many unsettling moments. The general gameplay brings a lot of horror through the schlock scares of creepy noises and being powerless in front of the monsters. But the real unsettling content are the themes of humanity and existence, especially...

    Take My Money: Best Memorabilia For Star Wars Movie Buffs

    Wow, that stuff would be cool but pretty out of my/my mum's price range! I saw the film last night and the BB8 is totally the star of the show. I've got my eye on this guy http://www.red5.co.uk/star-wars-bb8-droid.aspx I wonder if he'll have as much of an awesome personality as the one in the film?!

    So Episode 7 apparently is pretty damn good

    I went to the midnight showing, obviously, and think that there will be two schools of thought when it comes to the reviews. People who want to see their heroes from the original trilogy will be well chuffed. "The gang get back together" and save the day. People who want to see the next...

    Installing Windows 10 on an older (Vista) laptop

    What are everyone's opinions on Windows 10? I've used it on a friend's laptop but have not made the decision to upgrade yet. I've heard there are endless problems with the drivers. Can anyone else shed some light on this for me please?

    Poll: Aggression and Video Games

    This is a difficult one, isn't it? From my own personal perspective I can assure you that some competitive games can indeed cause mild short-term aggression. I remember getting incredibly worked up after losing undeservedly on FIFA before. Obviously the disappointment and aggression soon...

    Who's your favorite female protagonist?

    It can only be Lara Croft from Tomb Raider for me. Saying that, I was rather taken by the female protagonist from that Bedlam game that Christopher Brookmyre has been involved in. I wonder if it possible to play Tomb Rider using this VR headset for iPhone -...

    Diablo 3 RoS on consoles... Are you enjoying it?

    You guys are really selling this to me. I love the regular Diablo 3 but I have to confess I've not played it in quite some time and it has sort of fallen by the wayside and I'm unsure if I'll be inspired to go back to it anytime soon. BUT, with a swanky improved version for next gen...

    Gaming Headsets

    OK, so I need a new headset for my PlayStation 3, and I'm probably going to get a PS4 sometime in the not too distant future. Therefore, question one, will the same headset work on both? If I buy a good one now, is it future proofed for when I do upgrade? And question two, can you use...

    Poll: Sexism and Games

    Good post. I think to be fair you could easily level the sexism criticism at most of the movie industry today. For every big name Hollywood actress you care to name, there are ten men who'll command far higher fees. Action movies in particular still rely heavily on burly hardmen to play the...
