Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce Sony PSP review

Now, dont get me wrong. Battles are now shorter, and most will last around 5-10 minutes. Ad content continues below Also, the usual masses of enemies and allies battling it out onscreen are gone. Missions have been redesigned for the PSP. The game now features a city section. This is done by using officer cards that youll get from friendly generals in the city. The Musou system also returns, letting you charge up power attacks....

American Flagg! volumes 1 & 2 review

First launched in 1983, Titan Books have now released the initial 14 groundbreaking issues in two newly-remastered volumes. Collectively theyve formed the Plex, which oversees all commerce and government. In their absence the Plexus Rangers have been left on Earth to act as a militia of law enforcers. Some of them fight for the good guys flawed though they may be. Other Rangers include Crystal Gayle Marakova and android deputy, Luthor Ironside....

Doctor Who: Big Finish – The Destroyer Of Delights Episode Three review

The adventure continues, but is Peter Davison’s Doctor breaking character a bit…? Having said that though, Peter Davisons Doctor also displays a little of this carefree disregard for life. Slightly odd characterisation then, for the Fifth Doctor. Thats not the only odd thing going on here with him, though. Well, either that or hes had a bit of a sore throat throughout these recordings. The plot is slow and surprisingly little happens....

Lode Runner XBLA review

It was a huge hit back then, and has been ported over to pretty much every platform since. This central gameplay is time-tested, and akin to other arcade-style classics likePac-ManandDonkey Kongin its immediate pick-up-and-play simplicity. And thats what it comes down to, really. Not thatLoder Runnerisnt worth 10; it is. Rating: 4 out of 5

The Da Vinci Code Blu-ray review

A high-definition release of the controversial Catholic thriller proves a better experience for Glen than the original… I noticed two strangers start up a conversation about the book they were both reading. Like the book, the film was immensely successful grossing over $700,000,000 at the box office. Disc 2 features the majority of these, packing in a load of documentaries totaling just over 2 hours. These range from 2-25 minutes in length and vary greatly in terms of how interesting they are....

Lost season 5 episode 15 review

Daniel definitely out for the count? Which isnt to say, of course, that Daniels gone for good. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Or even the realisation that she could manipulate the variables next time around? Either way, its going to be interesting to discover. Case in point: Lockes plan to kill Jacob. At least, not until next week… Check out a review of episode 14here.

Role Models Blu-ray review

Paul Rudd finally gets a strong comedy leading role, thanks to Role Models. And there are a number of reasons why it deserves a far wider audience on DVD. Firstly, theres Paul Rudd. Firstly, theres Christopher Mintz-Plasses live action role-player Augie. And then, enter stage left, Bobbe J Thompson as the foul-mouthed ten year old, Ronnie. Pick us up in two hours, asks Rudds Danny. Fuck you, Miss Daisy, Thompson slams back with the delivery and vitriol of a seasoned pro....

X-Men Origins Wolverine: Uncaged PlayStation 3 review

The most violent videogame of the year, as Wolverine arrives on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360… I cant say I cared a great deal for the boss battles in Activisions tie-inWolverinevideogame. They felt like a lazy add-on, and I didnt really enjoy them. BecauseWolverineis such a gleefully old-fashioned slash em up, its really hard to resist. Anyone expected a lazy cash in to the movie is in for a pleasant surprise....

Angels & Demons review

Tom Hanks returns with a better haircut in this sequel to The Da Vinci Code. But is he really the star of the show this time…? First things first: Tom Hanks has a better hairstyle here than he sported inThe Da Vinci Code. Over and done, now we can talk about the movie… Angels & Demonsis a spectacular race-against-time thriller. And then theres the midnight deadline when the antimatter might go off…...

Sam’s Strip: The Comic About Comics review

More crucial though is the fact that Sams Strip was an interesting comic in its own right. These odd interjections work though because Sams Strip is as much an examination of comics as a comic itself. Just from a basic layout perspective, the strips fit beautifully onto the books pages too. There are three strips on each page and the paper quality is great. The notes are printed at the end of the book....

Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning review

Lets start from the beginning… The movie was released a while ago now, and has had several updates as time has gone by. Its latest Imperial Edition has been released on DVD with better special effects and a pretty decent surround mix. The filming is low-budget but clear and the sound mix is good. The first shock though, is that this is in Finnish, with English subtitles. We start with three crew, stranded in time, on 21st century Earth....

Star Trek The Motion Picture Blu-ray review

Every geek worth his salt knows the history ofStar Trek The Motion Picture. But thirty years later, how doesTMP(as Trekkies call it) match up? It goes for epic many times over, and quite often achieves that. I think more than anything, the whole thing was a pretty risky move. I guess what it boils down to is that this was Roddenberrys attempt at2001. For instance, theres very little urgency. I mean, its over half an hour before we even leave space dock....

Stewart Lee: What Would Judas Do? CD review

One of the country’s finest comedy talents, Mr Stewart Lee, delivers another outstanding show… There are certain things that, as a society, we have enough of. Im not suggesting that theres anything wrong with the existing eighteen volumes. I would argue, though, that the subject has now been covered in sufficient depth. The same could be said of Stewart Lees recent 3CD release. Im a huge fan of Stewart Lee....
