Spider-man: Web of Shadows Xbox 360 review

The latest Spider-man game fails to do justice to an incredible cast list headed by arch-enemy Venom. Web of Shadowsbegins with a despondent Spider-man walking across a rooftop as a battle rages around him. The sense of liveliness in the city is at best on par with the now ancientGrand Theft Auto III. Roam to the river and the sense of life is less believable than a comic book. Both paths must be followed to earn all achievements....

The Den Of Geek interview: John Dykstra

When we came together and did that, we had a great time doing it. I cant think of a better avocation. And it was because we didnt build a company we built a solution to a problem. And it was a very complex one and they took some huge risks trusting us. Oddly enough it was pretty much hard-wired. The whole thing was wire-wrapped. It wasTTL logicand there was no CPU to speak of in it....

Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King Nintendo DS review

Ancient Egypt comes to the DS, but is this point-and-click adventure worth your money? Then along comes Nintendos dual-screen marvel, with its ideal-for-adventures touchscreen, and the genre is rediscovered. Unfortunately, their developers have yet to rediscover the quality that produced the epic games of the past. Perhaps Im being unfair. The game begins with the mischievous but likable youngster Assil in a lot of trouble. During the party a mummy was accidentally awakened....

Transformers: Animated Nintendo DS review

If yes, this game is basically the same idea with Transformers and driving levels mixed in. Megatron and his Decepticon nasties wont make the going easy though. Videos also feature the show intro and transforming sequences, earned as extras. Activision 24.99 Out Now Rating: 4 out of 5

Dexter season 3 episode 4 review

Given that his sociopath mind cant present these personalities for real, hes permanently faking something 24/7. Its not like hes not trying, but its a skill thats beyond him. Hes in a equal quandary about Miguel, whose brother Ramon is becoming a problem. But troubles are multiplying. Rita loses her job as a hotel receptionist, and Ramon is drinking heavily. Dexter needs to focus, or hell drop one of these airborne balls....

Dead Set review episode 4

Riq loves the smell of zombies in the morning. Or maybe not, but in any case, he’s having his apocalypse now… Its not quite what he had in mind back in episode one, but its certainly definitive. cries Pippa, appalled.I hired her I can do what I like. Alex slumps down, defeated, hoping her life might have had one last shot. I liked our farmhouse. Has thick Marky excelled himself in the stupidity department, even by his own standards?...

For Your Eyes Only Blu-ray review

Im not sure why they did this, but its a very interesting mix. So how does this 007 adventure stand the test of time? But watching it again highlighted strange tonal inconstancies that Id previously not been so aware. In fact that sequence is so heavily pastiche it actually makes Austin Powers a feather light satire in comparison. From the grim demise of the Havelocks to the 2CV car chase....

Peep Show: The Scripts and More review

Laughs are to be had from the very first page, particularly in Robert Webbs half of the introduction. Learning these things can sometimes be a bit disconcerting, he says, - Sophies thoughts? Everything is topped off with a generous smattering of photos of behind-the-scenes antics from the cast and crew. Peep Show: The Scripts and More isout now. Rating: 4 out of 5

Quantum Of Solace review

Can Bond 22 rise above its awful name to deliver the goods as effectively as Casino Royale…? We get M, but no Q; girls, but no gadgets; sophistry, but no sophistication. If it werent for all the torture and rendition she sanctions and personally oversees in front of our eyes. The formula for this franchise was struck from a more optimistic view of the world. But perhaps I am makingQuantum Of Solacesound more innovative and interesting than it actually is....

Reservoir Dogs Collector’s Edition blu-ray review

But its still got some great performances by the likes of Steve Buscemi and Harvey Keitel. In the lore of this movie, however, its the people whodidntaccept roles that are almost as famous. What does the blu-ray format contribute to theReservoir Dogsexperience? It ranges from relatively little to absolutely nothing depending what aspect precisely youre talking about. The sharpness of the image and colour reproduction is great, possibly better than I recall seeing on celluloid....

Dead Set review episode 1

Will a thousand raging zombies kindly report to the Big Brother diary-room… And any which way you cut it, it still works. Are her regrets over her dissolute life-style enough to save her from classic horror-movie karma…? Its not the eighties. They should stay in and watch telly. Before you know it, tearful Pippas big eviction broadcast gives way to a frighteningly uninformative just stand by. And not in a good way....

Dead Set review episode 2

The Big Brother zombie apocalypse continues on E4… Luckily for him, thats a distinct possibility… What isshe, then, a camel…? Tender Grayson shows his true mettle as a trained charge-nurse trying to keep angel alive. I suspect that frames have even been snipped out here and there to heighten the jerkiness of the motion. Hopefully the action will ramp up a bit tomorrow….
