Fame Blu-ray review

Alan Parker’s original version of Fame arrives on Blu-ray. Can we have The Kids From Fame next? Fameis an odd film. And sure, it has some big musical numbers, and some memorable characters. In fact, if memory serves, it felt tinged with melancholy back in the 80s. That might just be me, though. Theres also the argument thatFameand Blu-ray are far from a necessary marriage anyway, of course. You get a bevy of extras, though....

Battlestar Galactica season 2 episode 16 review: Sacrifice

We’re heading to the end of season two of Battlestar Galactica. But what’s Sacrifice all about? But will Roslins Presidential aide Billy turn out to be one of them? Not sure, but Id wager against at the moment. But Im getting ahead of myself. I wonder which of the crew has been letting slip such information? My Cylon sensor is a-tingling… But the show is in no hurry to tell me whether Im right or wrong....

King Of Fighters XII Xbox 360 review

The fighters are back on Xbox 360, but are they still kings? Now on its 15th anniversary, the series has returned for an all-new instalment, this time in HD. The question is; canKoF XIIshine after the arrival of competing titles likeStreet Fighter IV? The combat is tight and refined, and each character is well balanced as always. Rating: 3 out of 5

Nikita Blu-ray review

Mark smokes an entire box of Gauloises before reviewing the Luc Besson classic, Nikita, on Blu-ray… Nikita (Anne Parillaud) is a young heroin addict riding that particular pastime to oblivion. Ad content continues below From this point the plot becomes somewhat meandering. Shes a successful killer who lives a relatively normal life with a man she met in a supermarket. Its also got a great score by Eric Serra, which is especially evocative in the action scenes....

Observe And Report Blu-ray review

Seth Rogen tries something a little bit different, as Observe and Report arrives on Blu-ray… Its also the one that made all the money. Observe And Reportdidnt, however, and its not very tricky to see why. Here, Seth Rogen plays a shopping centre guard who shifts quickly between friendly and incredibly unpleasant. ForObserve And Reportis a cold, mean film, and not a particularly pleasant one to sit through. It works hard to get some of its laughs, but when they come, theyre not entirely comfortable....

Section 8 Xbox 360 review

These two factions are fighting, as factions usually do, to control various planets and resources. Section 8has a lot to offer on the face of things. This system lets you allocate points to various aspects of your armour and weapons. Its all very well implemented stuff, and a highlight of the game. He runs at a snails pace and has the most ineffective jump jets Ive seen. Other problems lie with the weapons....

Death Of A Ghost Hunter DVD review

I dont know why I should be surprised. It also thinks rather a lot of itself and its clever plot twists. Arent I being clever?! Investigating strange noises, ignoring nearby weapons and venturing off alone like emo teenagers in a huff. Death Of A Ghost Hunterisout now. Rating: 3 out of 5

Spyborgs Nintendo Wii review

The saviour of a videogame genre or just another boring clone? Joining such, erm, illustrious company isSpyborgs, from Capcom. The robot, of course, is strong but slow and the guy is somewhere in between. You have two attack buttons (weak and strong), the ability to jump and also to block.

Frost/Nixon download review

How does the battle between David Frost and Richard Nixon fare on a very small screen? And to an extent, it is. And what makes this really work is some sublime casting. Theyre both immense here, and even given the impressive supporting cast (hello, Kevin Bacon! ), theyre front and centre of everything that really works aboutFrost/Nixon. Its worth a rental at the very least. Rating: 3 out of 5
