This feels oddly tautological to me. I wonder if in the formative years of printing critics argued over whether everything printed should be considered 'a book' or whether they were happy with delineations based on format, content and cost. For what it's worth, I'm happy with 'interactive...

I wasn't a fan of this episode for many of the reasons why I wasn't a fan of much of Matt Smith's tenure - it's become Clara's Story rather than Doctor Who. Clara isn't a particularly interesting character, and quite frankly I found the idea of 11 treating her as if he was her boyfriend more a...

I've seen trailers for Neighbors (Bad Neighbours over here), and now MovieBob's glowing review, and still have absolutely zero desire to see it. At the best of times I'm not a fan of prank comedies as they inevitably descend into a pissing contest between unlikable arseholes and I wonder to...

Who is attacking Andrea? Plenty seem to be attacking the intent of the article, but the real venom in the thread is being hurled at the AAA-industry, or at those who are reserving their enthusiasm until after they have read actual reviews. I don't think Andrea has been impugned here.

The last game that I truly loved throughout was Thomas Was Alone, but I have certainly loved moments of other games more recently - Bioshock Infinite's DLC plot-twists, and the more atmospheric chapters of the Thief reboot. -- I am sure that we all recognise that this is a preview, but I'm...

We love videogames too. Which is why the current trend of over-promising and under-delivering, coupled with popular media serving as a mouthpiece rather than critical analyser, makes some of us ever so wary of pieces like these.

Pass. The last thing I need is yet another 'trending in geekdom' show that is nothing more than a bigger budget Youtube series, broadcast days after the content was relevant.

Kate Mara is what, 30? So she'll actually be older than Alba was as Sue Storm. Ioan Gruffudd was only 4 years older than Miles Teller is now when the first Fantastic Four was released. Age complaints are therefore probably a little overblown, especially if it's the Ultimate version of the team...

The headline 7.7m figure includes players in Asian regions, regions which have a different business model that last time I checked was essentially pay2play rather than pay-monthly. Therefore if they log in just once a month they're still counted as a subscriber, even though their gross monetary...

I accept the thrust of the argument - that Geeks individually and Geek Culture in general should be a force encouraging inclusion and egalitarianism - but I would say one thing about the premise. Just because supposedly Geeky products and pastimes are now a focus of new products and corporate...

For me it would have to be Unreal 2. I didn't get into Deus Ex the first time around otherwise Invisible War would almost certainly get my vote, but equally after Unreal was such a notably ground-breaking title in terms of graphics and AI, Unreal 2 was just a huge pile of ass.

Somewhat sad that The Sky At Night isn't on anyone's list thus far :( Anyway, there is no 'best'. Taste is a wonderful thing.

If I'm honest, Jace and the Wheeled Warriors would probably feature on my personal top 10 list of IP I'd like to see rebooted. Ulysses 31 too. Oh, and the mid-90's TV show Dark Skies... loved that. I was pretty indifferent to Men In Black, but the rest I can certainly see as pretty good...

I've now read two interpretations of this joke from the Onion. In one, the Press are vile to celebrities no matter the circumstance and that is why it is a satirical joke (if not funny). In the other, the Press are saccharine in their treatment of celebrities around Oscar time, and the...

I wouldn't be adverse to doing the same thing with Batman as was done with Wolverine in the X-Men prequel. Also, I'm all on board with a Question movie. That would be awesome.
