The Complete Ace Trucking Co. Volume 1 review

Jeepers good buddy, the pencil-headed space truckers back with a bang… Now Ace Garp and his space trukkin crew are back, bunks yer unk. So threes and sevens to ya, Earth diggers, and ten-ten till we do it again… Remember those light-hearted trucking movies of the late Seventies and early Eighties? The characters talk in their own futuristic trucking slang as they haul their cargo across the galaxy. Massimo Belardinelli proved the perfect artist to bring the alien landscapes and freaky characters to life too....

Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy Blu-ray review

Firstly, it made a hugely entertaining and very successful film out of pirates. Then theres the sheer Saturday afternoon fun of it. And then theres the casting. Johnny Depp often gets the plaudits here, and he is in his element as Captain Jack Sparrow. by a brilliant, scenery-chewing Geoffrey Rush, the ever-strong Jonathan Pryce and an underrated turn by Jack Davenport. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley arent particularly special here, but they inhabit their roles well enough....

The Den Of Geek interview: Frank Quitely

Also, myself, Jamie and Rob all work in the same studio, Hope Street Studios. Ad content continues below Are you involved with it much beyond the cover work, at all? Not yet when they were putting the first issue together I was still under exclusive contract with DC. As you say, I started onElectric Soup, which was exactly that a Scottish, adult humour title. Its not really like work! So youve just completedAll-Star Superman what was it that drew you to that project?...

There Will Be Blood Blu-ray review

One of the year’s best films hits high definition. And has Daniel Day-Lewis ever been better? Ad content continues below Now Ive sold the tickets, whats the presentation like? Ive seen the DVD released earlier in the year, and its murky and indistinct in comparison. Those looking for director or technical commentaries will be disappointed as its bare of these things, sadly. Overall, this is an excellent movie and good transfer, but the extras are generally weak by comparison....

Yakuza 2 PlayStation 2 Review

Aaron finds himself involved with a bad crowd. Oh, and he also reviews Yakuza 2. If youve never played the original game dont worry. The game plays decently enough on the whole. Fight well, and youll fill your Heat meter, which opens up special moves, such as finishers. And, like the original,Yakuza 2does deliver a believable journey through the Yakuza way of life. Its just a shame that, when outside of combat, the game is pretty dull....

Battlefield: Bad Company Xbox 360 review

Battlefield goes console only, as Aaron checks out the Xbox 360 version of DICE’s large scale battler… Ask any PC gamer to list their favourite online FPS titles and its a fair bet thatBattlefieldwill be mentioned. First and foremost is the inclusion of a fully-featured single player story. Now, Im not talking the usualBFfare of multiplayer maps with AI. No,BF:BChas a proper single player campaign, with a story and everything....

Taken review

A Jedi on a one-man crusade? Duncan whipped this ticket out of our hands so fast, there was smoke. It is as follows (and still makes me shudder): I dont know you who you are. I dont know what you want. If youre looking for a ransom, I can tell you, I dont have money. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it....

Burn After Reading review

The Coen Brothers head back to comedy with a vengeance, but are we talking Lebowski standards here? The Coen Brothers surprising hitNo Country For Old Menwas a marked departure from their traditional, well-known style. Specifically, black comedy jokes. Fortunately, the results were brilliant. Now theyre moving back to their comedy bend with their latest,Burn After Reading. Osborne Cox (John Malkovich) is a low-level CIA analyst with a bit of a drinking problem....

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Xbox 360 review

Can The Force Unleashed, the new Star Wars game, live up to the terrific demo? Er,,, There are moments inThe Force Unleashedthat just feel like pure, gaming heaven. Particularly in the opening mission, where you play a powered-up Darth Vader, its utterly brilliant fun. It doesnt take long for the bubble to burst. The game, however, soon starts to plod, and for a variety of reasons. What happened to some good old fashioned combo fighting?...

Terminator: The Sarah Connors Chronicles Blu-ray review

Not sure why, as they have credits on each part. We also get to see Summer Glau rehearsing her ballet, which shes exceptionally good at. To complete that disc is an animatic of the school sequence from the pilot show. Disc three closes out the season in spectacular fashion. The shows are again presented in sequence, but you cant select each from the menu again. But you do get an extended cut of The Demon Hand plus two deleted scenes from that show....

Pastry Passion casual game review

A nice, simple way to while away a lunchtime… Another day, another match three casual game. Ill be honest, I really thought developers were overdoing it by releasing numerous games with the same premise. So, anyway,Pastry Passion. A match three based on… well, pastry. You start work at a patisserie in Paris, working for a mad Frenchman. You start with a gentle tutorial and learn the basics, and then the fun really begins!...

The Strangers review

That said, this film is not original. It is a very similar story to French horrorThemto name but one. However, the tension appears to melt away as the tension is explained. But just as it does they are startled by a loud knock at the door. Rating: 3 out of 5
