I don't think any of the Batman films have gotten it quite right yet (apart from the animated ones). Batman Begins was terrible on many levels: * Batman's training went on for too long * Batman's creation was too complicated * Ra's Al Ghul was dry and dull * The Scarecrow was underused...

Smashing Drive (GBA) - 3D arcade racer from Namco which has shallow gameplay but is loads of fun. The 3D works brilliantly and the shortcuts are surprising and bizarre. Bombastic (PS2) - The most underrated puzzle game ever! Match up numbers of dice relative to their top number (i.e. 4 dice...

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Awesome! Why can't all games be as fun and involving as this one? Tetris DS - I was playing Endless on Standard Mode for about a week. I had maxed out the lines and level scores (999) and my total score was over 60 million - then I paused it to wipe the d-pad...

I watched the first episode and decided never to watch it again. The animation is almost as bad as the story, and I'm too old now to remember what the original series was actually about. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is a far more successful update (in terms of quality).

I love this show!!! (It's on in 10 mins *glee*) The alien's Ben can transform into are wonderfully diverse, creative and are implemented superbly - the different voices idea was a masterstroke! The way the Omnitrix works - how it reacts to changes in Ben and all the secrets it contains -...

Ha, already posted this in my previous thread but c'est la vie... Another beautiful Ghibli film with quality animation, sweet story and plenty of fantasy and humour. The cat parade creeped me out, the maze was an anti-climax and I would have liked some background on the Baron, but apart from...

Very sad news. RIP Steve.

Empire of Midnight: The unfinished sequel to the Demon Ororon. If Hakase Mizuki ever finishes it then maybe it'll see the light of day in the West through Tokyopop - but I don't hold out much hope. 20th Century Boys: This is by the guy who did Monster right? I've heard good things but I've...

To me it's a show that should be more serious than it is. It can be too cartoony for my tastes and when some of the cool stuff happens I find it a shame that it's never taken as far as it could go. There are some good moments in it though and it's certainly entertaining (Jack Spicer's basketball...

The Cheese episode is fantastic. I saw it all the way through for the first time yesterday and the highlight has to be the end credits where they played all his sound bites.

Mostly CLAMP and Shonen Jump for me: Death Note Hikaru No Go Chobits XXXHolic The Demon Ororon

Glad to hear it :) I feel that Billy and Mandy can be a bit random in quality sometimes, but only because I prefer the really insane jokes and episodes. By comparison Foster’s is pretty consistent and largely enjoyable. Would you agree that Billy and Mandy would make a great live-action...

I saw it for the first time on ITV3 last year and wasn't too impressed. It seemed to have some depth, but in all honesty the plot was too thin and the ending made no real sense. I'm sure the book's better though - not that I'll bother to read it (I read books, I just don't want to read this...

I gave up on ONM the day they gave Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for the N64 86%. Clearly they were just trying to make the N64 look good. It's a shame really because the early issues were quite nice with lots of misc news and features (such as a 3 issue feature on Mario's history). N64 kept...

Is N Gamer the magazine that's incorporated NGC? Before I stopped buying them I largely prefered NGC to ONM because of their humour and insight into Nintendo's history. ONM can get too official at times and in the past they've marked up review scores to try and make games seem better which makes...

What's you favourite episode? Mine's the one where they go camping; Bloo eats all the food (and all the food he finds through the episode), and Wilt gets stuck in quick-sand but because he's so tall he tells the guys not to worry about getting him out too quickly and spends the rest of the...

I started watching about 5 or 6 episodes in and got hooked on it. It's got some great ideas but you do have to take some of the show with a pinch of salt: the female doctor who gets left with the male prisoners, huge pipes for them to crawl about in etc. I still don't like Wentworth Miller's...

^^ I'll agree that part was disturbing, but for me the film stunk. The ending in particular was pathetic: Not only was the killer not caught, after a lengthy police search there was no sign he existed. What?! No matter that there were many people who had gone missing around that area (due to...

Mostly retro for me: Space Ace (Snes): The game started, a boss appeared, I beat him easily, the level started scrolling, I was forced up against a cavern I had to cross, I couldn't get across and died. This was repeated about 10 times before I put the game back on my shelf and left it to...

I've started watching Ben 10 on Cartoon Network. It's about a boy who finds an alien watch which he uses to transform himself into one of ten different aliens for a short time so that he can protect the world (or whatever). One of the sub-villains in the cartoon is a teenager called Kevin who...
