The hunters are made up of four types. Theres the assault, trapper, medic, and support....

Starting in 1988, the Parodius games brought a riot of imagination to the shooting genre. Konami wasnt slow in exploring the possibilities of theGradiustemplate. A spin-off calledSalamandercame out in 1986, followed byGradius IIin 1988 andGradius IIIthe year after that. The game unfolds in a riot of colour, sound and utter madness. The manic atmospheres underlined by the theme music a constant, up-tempo warble of classical music. Whether thats the case or not, the tunes fit perfectly with the games puckish, cheeky tone....

My mind wandered to the date, Friday the 13th, and the movie franchise of the same name. I also picked up on the nod towardValentines Daythat was ultimately tragic. Everyone knows that oxygen feeds a fire; at least have them cover themselves in a fireproof blanket....

From the Queen Vic to the TARDIS. And when they got together, it was murder. Well, not quite. (Though the first episode did feature a victim who would later die, fact fans.) But what they did create wasEastenders. Even its time-slot owes much to the adventures of everyones favourite Gallifreyan. So lets get that out of the way. The elephant?Dimensions In Time. Though the adventure almost made it to the filming stage, it was binned....

Evolve is a gratifying 4v1 multiplayer shooter experience unlike any you’ve ever played. Here is our review! The importance of each team members specific role in the hunt is at the forefront of the experience. Playing as the trapper is completely different to stepping into the shoes of the medic.

Our letters page returns! Subjects include: double standards, comics, and a bit more spoiler chat… Phew. Our letters page had to take January off, due to us covering lots and lots of things.

Alexander initially wrote to us following my recent pieceon the reaction to theGhostbustersreboot casting....

This weeks episode of The Vampire Diaries was all about goodbyes. Here’s our review… This weeks episode ofThe Vampire Diarieswas all about goodbyes. Sadly my wish was not granted. Ill be real if were talking OTPs, Liz and Damon forever. How many nights do you think they sat up drinking and watching Casablanca? Is your answer all of the nights? Because it damn well should be. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying they lack chemistry but its of a different variety....
