    Borderlands Takes on The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

    [img src='http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/galleries/display/62/62144.jpg' height='197' width='350'] It looks like a mix between terminator armour and Gurren-Lagann (note the black shades across the chest...) so it's more like an unholy union between East and West.

    Bionic Woman Writer to Adapt Ghost in the Shell For Big Screen

    Dreamworks. Oh dear. They already have a bad track record with the franchise. They originally picked up the licence to distribute Innocence (the second Ghost in the Shell movie)in the US and they rush-released the DVDs for what appeared to be just a simple cash in. Bandai Visual re-released...

    Massive Exec Says Gamers Like Ads

    I think he's mistaking liking it when a gameplay setting based on reality looks authentic with liking a specific element of that setting. Seeing ads where you'd expect them is better than seeing them in odd, in-your-face places but they're still ads, and I'd rather not see any...

    Warhammer 40,000 To Become CGI Film

    So they're trying again eh? Waaaaaay back GW started work on a CGI Space Maine movie based around the Blood Angels. It was going to be called "Bloodquest" which is the same as the comic they were basing it on. They released a handfull of still shots before it got 'put on hold', and the...

    A View From the Road: What to Avoid Naming Your Aion Character

    My long-time gaming name (Main_E_ak) breaks some of these rules, namely on being unpronounceable, which is kind of odd given that it's just a regular word spelled differently. Some people shortern it to 'Main', others get caught at the 'E' whilst trying to pronounce the whole thing as it's...

    Braid on PC and Mac Contains Level Editor

    How exactly does being mentioned in the readme file make something hidden? Those things often contain more relevent documentation than the manual (assuming you get one). The demo certainly showed it off as an interesting game for £10, but I'm probably not going to buy it until non-xbox...

    How gaming will die and why it is our fault

    That was a loooooong negative read. I think most of what you've said here could be applied to the movie and tv industries too - either way when industry/commerce meets creativity one always seems to suffer for the sake of the other.

    Games you've wanted for years before finaly getting them and finding out they're actually just shit.

    Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. I played the first one some time after launch and liked it, and always wanted to have a crack at the second game but didn't get around to it til recently. I picked it up when it was cheap on Steam last month. That game is buggy as hell. The number of times it issued random...

    194: Fifteen More Minutes

    Patapon 2 is doing this to me at the moment. Each mission is somewhere between 2 and 10 minutes long, and when it gets to the point where I've been playing it for too long the whole "just one more mission, they're short" kicks in and I end up playing for another hour or so...

    Sonic Unleashed's Werehog Will Return

    I find it hillarious how he says he sees the younger kids as their core audience, when the last 3D Sonic game I played, Sonic Heros, had such debilidating bugs that I'm still not sure how I managed to get past some of those zones. I can't for the life of me see how a younger player would have...

    The Final Boss

    I'm a little of column A and a little of column B, I like having a challenging final boss because if it isn't the end of the game feels rather meh, but I hate it when it's frustratingly difficult and will just move on to the next game if it annoys me too much. I like games with good stories but...

    Review: Need For Speed: Undercover

    But it's only over because they killed it, albeit unintentionally :(

    Review: Persona 4

    This is listed as not going to be out in Europe until the second quarter of next year...I guess that gives me time to finish Persona 3, since I only started playing it recently.
