Assassin’s Creed III: Into the Animus (XBOX 360), Review

As a lover of theAssassins Creedseries, I was excited as well as horrified when I pre-ordered my copy. Im glad to say none of these rumors were true. And lucky for us, I was right. While his given name is Ratonhnhake: Ton, he is dubbed Connor by his Assassin mentor later on. Connors skills also include hunting, skinning, trapping and baiting animals. This can be done for fun, as well as a source of income....

Hotline Miami PC review

Hotline Miami is surreal, compelling, and unbelievably violent. Most videogames sound more nasty and excessive once their events are written down. Its sanitised, prepackaged, meaningless. InHotline Miami,the reverse is true. Its top-down, chunky, 16-bit-like graphics serve not to temper its bloodshed, but intensify it.

Skyfall: a spoiler-filled exploration

Final warning: the following contains spoilers. Even more interesting is that Bonds failure to (ahem!) rise to the occasion and save the girl follows Silvas own attempt to seduce 007 during their initial encounter. Tennysons poem also serves as an overture for the final act of the film.

Rich Moore interview: Wreck-It Ralph, Disney and animation

Its like someone had made a film especially for us. And heres how it went… I want to start with Steven Soderbergh. Can you relate to that? It feels like weve been working on this for almost four years. And you move through different stages of production. An eternal who watches their friends kind of die! Theres two things isnt there.

Rick Baker interview: Men In Black 3, werewolves and Videodrome

If youre not familiar with Rick Bakers name, youll probably recognise his monsters. Do you think practical effects have evolved as well? But I embrace the technology. I understand you use computers to help plan your effects anyway, is that right? Yeah, Ive been using the computer to design my effects for the last 20 years. I got PhotoShop 1.0 [Laughs] and it was an instant love affair. I love that, and I love making digital models on the computer....

Assassin’s Creed III Xbox 360 review

Visually, this is certainly the bestACyet, and the environments are stunning at times. Its all good, and these little touches also affect the gameplay. But, even the normal rooftop running has also been improved. It works, and it works well. Tomahawk to the face! One area whereAssassins Creedhas always fallen a little flat is with combat. A few enemies can shake counters off, but often the combat challenge is still sorely lacking....

Celebrating Timothy Dalton’s James Bond

I mean, every film seemed to have a villain who had to rule or destroy the world. Thats a demand I made, and Albert Broccoli agreed with me. The second of these is the grandest showcase of Daltons ability to convey pure, frightening fury. There are shortcomings to this more serious Bond, most notably that hes not great at delivering quips. Legal issues, which must seem trifling in hindsight, dogged the series throughout the early 1990s....

Seeing them and going Aah, theyre talking to each other! And theyre both the Doctor!. But whether or not thats achievable, I dont know. You mention watching past multi-Doctor episodes; have you pretty well immersed yourself in the shows history now?...
