Aaron watches the Watchmen on their 360 excursion, but is this a game worth downloading? To grab it, youll need to fork out a whopping 1600 MS Points. Is it worth this outlay, though? Actual gameplay consists of the familiar 3D scrolling beat em up fare. Moves and abilities above standard attacks are different for each character too. He can also bull rush his foes, ramming into them to slam them into walls....

A British mix of horror and thriller thats actually getting a cinematic release? Simon checks out Mark Tonderais Hush… If thats what youre looking for with the new British movieHush, then youre not going to be short-changed. It is a film that takes a little while to get going, though. Actually, scratch that. Granted, the budget trappings are tricky to hide, but fortunately, they prove to be no distraction. A couple of further things become clear fairly quickly....
The long awaited Resident Evil 5 arrives: but can it match the majesty of Resident Evil 4? What it doesnt do, though, is deliver anywhere close to a better game. It straddles, successfully, looking beautiful yet grimy at the same time. And it can still creep you out, seemingly effortlessly. She still works out more value than not, but shes not without AI quibbles. Shell happily stand there shooting away, but rooted to the spot, leaving you both exposed....
Steven checks out the soundtrack CD from The Sarah Connor Chronicles, showcasing the work of Bear McCreary… It is a decent enough opening for this 24-track, 64-minute soundtrack. And again it also includes that familiar thundering of Brad FiedelsTerminator Theme. Quantity for sure, with a higher value of quality than you might hope for. What McCreary does well is blend synthesized sounds together with orchestral strings. This continues Fiedels electronic approach, but also lets the humanity seep in as well....
Just before it has a week off, Lost has gone and got all unpredictable again… One thing this entirely logical repositioning of the islanders does is present a wealth of intriguing story material. How do they manage to ingratiate themselves into Dharma? What has become of Daniel? How did Sawyer and Juliet end up together? As ever, the mythology ofLostserves to enhance the questions surrounding the characters. Kates return while clearly signposted and dramatically predictable does undeniably make that a love-triangle worth keeping an eye on....
The latest Bond, Quantum Of Solace, arrives on Blu-ray. But someone forgot to bring a lot of extra features with them… In the wake ofCasino Royale,Quantum Of Solacewas always onto a bit of a loser. Director Marc Forster has admitted he wanted this to be disorientating, but the end result is borderline unfair. Things soon improve though, andQuantum Of Solacemakes some wise decisions. Hes a better actor than Pierce Brosnan was, andQuantum Of Solaceis happy to rely on that....
Rob checks out a future Tony Head in this weird musical sci-fi oddity. It turns out, quite frankly, to be great. The whole cast is a b-movie lovers or sci-fi nerds dream. Starting with the main star of the movie, Alexa Vega. For those of you who remember theBuffyepisodeOnce More With Feelingyou will be aware of Tony Heads ability to sing. Instead, maybe (take a hint) he should concentrate on getting the forever promisedRipperoff the ground....
The game might be awful but this deserves a listen… I was pleasantly surprised therefore when theSimAnimalssoundtrack appeared on my doormat one morning. This is certainly a grown-up soundtrack and not merely an album of nice little ditties. Bringing forth her darker side does the album a world of good. Rating: 3 out of 5
Simon spends a quiet night in with Jennifer Garner, who in turn is pretending to be Tom Hanks. Meet 13 Going On 30… Shes a good comedy performer, utterly likeable, and makes you buy the films familiar-but-high concept. But hes convincing, equally likeable, and a fine foil for Garner. Thirdly, Andy Serkis. For those who think Andy Serkis and end up with Gollum, check this movie out. He gets a comedic supporting role here, and again, he makes the most of it....
