He was billed as a future James Bond. He’s about to appear in the next Punisher movie. He’s guest-starring in Steven Moffat’s upcoming Doctor Who adventure. And he’s talking to us. His work has also seen him killed by Paul W S Anderson … twice! Theres the small matter ofHex, and his audio work on Blakes 7, too. How wasThe Bank Job, and how was working with Jason Statham? Jason is a Don....

The Film The Disc Rating: 4 out of 5

The Scarifyers: For King And Country CD review

Doctor Who alumni Nicholas Courtney and Terry Molloy lend their talents to a strong, historical audio drama. Charlatan, Sir Harry Price, re-awakens ghosts from the English Civil War with terrifying consequences. Nicholas Courtney plays Detective Lionheart with a grumpy detachment, imagine the Brigadier on a bad day. Woolfs delicate diction gives Hopkins an impressive malevolence. Policeman Duff is particularly reminiscent of the lateCarry Onstar. Bensons Oliver Cromwell is perhaps the stand-out performance, by turns funny and refreshingly foul-mouthed....

Dark Sector Xbox 360 review

It’s a bit of Gears Of Wars. There’s some Resident Evil in there somewhere. But does Dark Sector have enough identity of its own to win us over? That child isDark Sector. But, lets look at things in more detail. Not that its bad, not at all. Its just the same bad-guy-creates-monsters-with-a-virus-and-wants-to-infect-the-world cliched fare. Weve all been there, fragged the zombies, and worn the t-shirt, many times over. Luckily, the story isnt all that relevant....

House Of The Dead 2 & 3 Return: Wii review

Two old light gun games, bundled together in one thirty quid pack? But is the Nintendo Wii now becoming the spiritual home of such games? You simply pick your game, and get shooting. Whats more, both games are tremendously good fun, even if they are a bit short. Blasting zombies is clearly a timeless art. Rating: 3 out of 5

The Den of Geek interview: Michael Radford

Yeah, I did. I did documentaries because there wasnt really a feature film industry in Britain. Well there was, but it wasnt very fruitful. So when I left film school, that was really all there was. And there wasnt a burning passion in you to be a documentary maker then? Not really, no. And it was really interesting, a great way to see the world as well. Ad content continues below...

Crayola Treasure Adventures DS review

Hey, we were always geeky about, er, Crayola crayons. And now they’ve made it into a game. For the kids, like. Colourful, large icons and writing greet you straight away after youre done with the intro. Immediately the game is simple, easy to read and requires very little gaming ability to play. These puzzles are broken down into three types colouring in, jigsaws and dot to dot. Youll sense a very controlled, steady environment....

Bargain bin finds: Edge of Terror

I only wish it was with a good, proper film rather than this awful drivel. First and foremost,Edge of Terrorhas a woeful plot line. Phil, the first person we are introduced to that you think might be the killer? Theres no messing around, which is part of the problem. All elements of mystery and suspense have now buggered off. Thats pretty fast by anyones standards. The killer seems like a toddler, running around, more into causing mischief than wanting to murder people....

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles Wii review

The Resident Evil franchise goes shooting again. Simon gets his Wiimote remote for the Umbrella Chronicles. At heart though, its a simple, effective and surprisingly long game. Ad content continues below But theres a lot toUmbrella Chronicles, and generally its good fun to play. Rating: 3 out of 5

The Den of Geek interview: Graham Linehan

Are you naturally industrious yourself? Its not true, but we thought its a funny thing to say. Except for them, they didnt have the flurries of activity. Is there a new direction again for the third series? But having said that, Ive written two episodes and that hasnt reared its head yet [laughs]. Its just the same characters having an adventure. I just didnt have the skill; it made me impatient....

Big Eye Art: Resurrected & Transformed

But dont turn off the lights! Those images fascinated and frightened me. Especially in the dark. Back then, they didnt have a niche-y name. Now they do and I was eager to read and reviewBig Eye Art: Resurrected & Transformed. All the contents, recent work from some twenty-two artists, share one feature big eyes. In fact, the artists self-identify as big-eye artists. These enormous eyes are found on fairies and nymphs and other nearly-but-not-quite human characters in cartooned and caricatured forms....

Battlestar Galactica: Katee Sackhoff conference interview

What is tougher for you, a fight scene or a love scene? You gotta start out with a good one. Im sitting across the table from my boyfriend right now. Because its not natural, its just odd. It makes you feel cheap, like youre being allowed to cheat on your significant other. The fight scenes are pretty easy, and come pretty naturally for me to be honest. Who would I want to fight on the show?...

Farm Frenzy PC review

It is in fact another time wasting casual game. And in terms of time wasting,Farm Frenzyhas got to be one of the best. At first glance, and indeed, on the first couple of levels, the game is mind-numbingly dull. But persevere and you will discover that this is a completely daft and pointless but lovable game. As you may have guessed, the action is based on a farm. To start, you have a little money and some geese....
