    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Dunno if anyone's interested but "Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore" is gonna feature the voice of Norman Reedus as Punisher. So that might intrigue Walking Dead/ Boondock Saints fans. Also it seems to be going for dirt cheap on pre-order. £7-8 in most places on DVD. Strange for an anime release...

    Stick with it, it takes a while to get to the good stuff, but I'd say it's worth it.

    Anime movies that recap Tv series

    Yeah I agree, it's a weird conceit that so, SO many anime series have at least one obligatory "Director's Cut" movie where it's basically a season in 90 minutes, with a handful of additional scenes. Generally they fortunately don't seem popular enough over here to warrant release. I think the...

    General Games Discussion

    I hasn't felt short to me so far, but I don't mind my games a little short. I'm a busy fella :P MGR feels firm but fair. You can do pretty well on normal without dying fairly easily, but it might not be pretty, it makes you strive to be better, not so you don't die, but so you don't look like a...

    Upcoming UK Anime DVD Artwork!

    I agree with this sentiment... That said, Drifters is basically 100% fanservice as far as I know, so for that it is fitting, but still kind of cringeworthy.

    Are you sure that wasn't just an episode of 'Peep Show'? :P

    The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya - 8/10 Good film, I enjoyed it quite a bit, rather more ponderous and melancholy than I was expecting though, very different tone from the main series in some respects. While I wouldn't say that the film ever dragged, one thing you could never call it would...

    Well I think it was pretty clear from 'Casino Royale' that Craig's Bond was separate from all others. It doesn't make them null and void, just that they happened in a different timeline or similar, like 'Ghost in the Shell' vs 'Stand Alone Complex'. As to the orphan thing, Bond has always been...

    Been marathoning my Daniel Craig Bond games (Quantum of Solace, Goldeneye Reloaded, Blood Stone) in anticipation of 'Skyfall', I really love 'Blood Stone', I think it's an underrated gem (pun not intended, but I wish it had been). I also rented 'Agent Under Fire' which was pretty good for the...

    What did you RECEIVE today?

    Received Trigun: Badlands Rumble DVD; not only is the spine title reversed, but it comes in a cardboard digipak. Ugh. It's like someone conspired to make a DVD packaging specifically designed to have everything I hate. The only thing that could make it worse would be if it had that blu-ray...

    Disney buys Lucasfilm. Star Wars VII is on the way.

    God, Matthew Vaughn seems to drop out of everything these days... I'd be interested to see the kind of contracts he draws up, because he dropped out of X-men 3 and now First Class 2, can this guy pick a project and stick with it?

    Ever changed your mind about a show after a re-watch?

    Not exactly. I never like something I hated before, or hate something I love, but sometimes the lustre fades, or more often, I like something a lot more the second time round. Like LOTR was something I was rather nonplussed with at the cinema, but when I got it o video for Xmas I loved it.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, I have no problem with. Episode VII worries me greatly though...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Yeah, like 1 puzzle per chapter... I didn't have a problem with Chris's campaign, except the running sequence away from the final boss. I agree about 4th campaign's ending though... it seemed unecessary. Jake's was uneven, some good bits, some bad a lot of fetching stuff...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Trailer for a feature length Iron Man anime, It's 2d this time so that's a good start, looks like it could be good. I hope it's better than the series at least.

    YOU may think it's too high, I don't. I love it =P. Beaten all 4 campaigns now, I'd say my ranking goes Leo>Chris=Ada>Jake. Jake's campaign was a bit of a mess of ideas, some worked and some didn't, also seem to have a lot of fetch quests. Ada's campaign was short but sweet. However, it was...

    Finished Leon's campaign in RE6 yesterday. I feel like it got worse as it went on. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but the first chapter was awesome, as was the second, but the third dragged a bit (despite being the shortest...) and had a pain in the ass swimming section, albeit brief, and in...

    Resident Evil: Damnation 8/10 (Play.com posted it early) Major improvement over the plodding and somewhat dull Degeneration. Lots of nice nods and fanservicey parts for the games' fans. THe action is really well choreographed and visually exciting. One odd thing though is the gun porn. This...
