Game Of Thrones: Mockingbird Review

ThisGame of Thronesreview contains spoilers. I dont suspect anyone was surprised when Lysa Arryn fell for Petyr Baelish. The telling aspect of this sequence is the difference is in familial outrage and anger both brothers have. He even mocks one-handed, sister-banging, and king-killing Jaime as still being the golden son. And like Shae, Bronn could be bought, even if in a much more amusing manner. Meanwhile the south is warm and comforitng....

Mad Men: The Strategy

Its hard to pitchMad Mento anyone unfamiliar with the show. The time weve spent with Betty this year has been coupled with Bobby and the sass of Sally. She also clearly reveals her own Daddy issues with Don. If Don offers a variation, then Peggys logic tells her that its clearly not good enough. Pete arrives in New York almost for the sole purpose of seeing his daughter Tammy. Nobody loves you like your parents, and no one can mess you up worse either....

Stephen Mangan interview: Postman Pat, Statham, Dirk Gently

When hes singing, he magically switched to Ronan Keating. Can you believe it? Its a surreal thing to have that claim. There are fewer Postman Pats in the world than there are James Bonds. Ad content continues below Thats true, I hadnt thought of that. You make a very good point! Ken Barrie was the original Postman Pat of course. But in a second, he switched that famous voice on....

Why Return Of The Jedi deserves more love

But first of all Im going to recap just why many of you think so lowly of it. Many see it as a rip-off ofA New Hope, complete with another attack on the Death Star.

Im going to come right out and admit it;Return Of The Jediis my favouriteStar Warsfilm....

Continuum: Waning Minutes Review

Kiera isn’t asleep anymore and her new outlook may be a turing point for Continuum moving forward. Here’s our review. This is when Kiera became the hero ofContinuumagain. And then Kiera awakened. Inside, I exalted. But then I thought, Why now? It seemed that her epiphany sprung from a number of stimuli. At least I hope thats the case.

The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 3: In Harm’s Way Review

Here’s our review. Basically, this is what Telltale has done with this episode. And while the episode doesnt really focus on growing Clementines story, she is still front and center. As the group devises plans, Clem is usually the key to carrying out those plans. And, theyre pretty much left by themselves except for being checked on once in awhile. Plot holes, bro, plot holes. I wouldve liked to have seen something a little more creative from the writers....

Is it worth watching a cancelled TV show?

PS4 vs. Xbox One: 6 Months Later

And each one is only going to get even more powerful as the months go on. Both Sony and Microsoft have been pretty adamant about rolling out the system updates in response to user feedback. I mean, the PS4 controller has a physical Share button on it, for Petes sake! Not to mention that Microsoft is really trying to meet customers halfway on pricing. It eliminates having to pay for these services TWICE....

Super Time Force Review

An intriguing, yet slightly confusing time rewind mechanic masks what is an otherwise average retro-inspired shooter. Of course you have. A third exists simply because he thinks it would be cool to coexist with dinosaurs. This also leads to some very fun and diverse environments, from the far future to the prehistoric ages. But you didnt think that time travel was going to be as simple as that, did you?...

Arrow Season 2 Finale Review: Unthinkable

The Arrow season two finale is a thoroughly satisfying ending to a fun season. Here is our full review. This review of theArrowseason 2 finale contains spoilers. Is Unthinkable the most action packed episode ofArrow? It would have been a crime if they didnt deliver in a big way for the season finale. There are heaping helpings of almost big-screen quality action in nearly every scene in this one. Theres certainly no danger of this one ever being boring....

Interview: Gareth Edwards on Godzilla

We also discuss how you find the human emotion under 40-stories of kaiju greatness. I know that you and this films marketing team have described Godzilla as a force of nature. Were going to do this realistically, lets look at animals, lets just copy that. Thats all we have to do! So we got bears fighting and wolves hunting, and everything, and animated him based on that. We then sat down and watched it, and went, Hmm, theres a problem here....

Titanfall and the love of mech

Kevin Pocock praises mech-warrior mastery and FPS evolution in Titanfall… Something I never expected, and which (truthfully) I never thought would be the case. Many times Ive briefly considered it, but disregarded others curious fascinations before continuing with the thought half-formed. Characters missing a friend. Ive followed protagonists over the shoulder, first-person and third. Largely Ive been content to carry on this way. Shoot The Stars Its a curious thing....
