Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

Jay — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 10:46:42 +0000

The prison guard jerks The Joker’s arm as he leads him off to his familiar cell in Arkham Asylum. As The Joker looks back over his shoulder at Batman, he trips and falls to his knee. When the guard leans down to help him up, Joker takes the opportunity to quickly headbutt the guard as [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Review

Jay — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:29:15 +0000

Ok let’s just get one thing clear – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an uncomplicated science fiction comicbook action bonanza of a movie. Intelligence completely flies out the window when you’re watching a Michael Bay movie anyway, but with the Revenge of the Fallen, and it’s predecessor, it really doesn’t matter. This movie kicks [...]

[Prototype] Review

Jay — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:53:48 +0000

Why do most people play videogames? Is it to feed their competitive streak in hardcore multiplayer action a-la Call of Duty 4? Or is it the epic storytelling of titles like Bioshock? Maybe it’s the ultimate cinematic experience when a true gaming masterpiece is created such as Grand Theft Auto IV. I’m guilty of all [...]

Current.com = Digg + TV [WP Plugin Hack Included]

Jay — Fri, 22 May 2009 19:57:09 +0000

Social News Aggregation is big business – take a look at Digg, arguably one of the most popular sites on the internet & all powered by user-submitted content. Well I’m a big fan of social websites, and news aggregators… and I have recently found a new(ish) site that I have a feeling may definitely be [...]

Batman: Arkham Asylum – Lookin’ Good!

Jay — Sun, 17 May 2009 10:47:15 +0000

I’ve always been a fan of comicbooks, and their ease of use in movies and games… but there aren’t many comicbook orientated games that I get excited about (except maybe the Watchmen game). However, the new Batman game from Eidos looks particularly droolworthy! Almost every video I see on the game makes it look very [...]

Terminator Salvation – Reigniting the franchise?

Jay — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:02:55 +0000

The more I see of McG‘s Terminator Salvation, the more faith I have bestowed in him that he’ll do an ok job… but will it be enough to jump-start a franchise killed off by it’s terrible threequel? From the footage that follows, I hope so. I’m hoping that the four minute “supertrailer” isn’t all the [...]

Streamy Revamps & Leaves Beta

Jay — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:29:17 +0000

For a long time I’ve been looking for a website that houses absolutely everything I look for in a personalised start page… and for as long as I can remember, I’ve had to settle for iGoogle. Don’t get me wrong – Google’s start page is absolutely stellar, and I can almost absolutely everything from feed [...]
