Yup. Add me to the list of “Play me again in a year” games…. Bored, at home, sick with flu for a week so I go through my collection to review some games to replay. Dragon’s Dogma? I don’t remember
Life of Pi
You can watch a hundred movies over the course of the year but I can guarantee it would only be one or two that will have you sit at the end watching through the entire credits sequence as you try

Battlefield 3
I have a habit of picking games up, sometimes years after I last played them, only to inject into it a renewed interest. This can often lead to fresh insight, and often, new appreciation. Battlefield 3 isn’t something I didn’t

Euro Truck Simulator 2
Under no regular circumstances would I normally find myself playing such a game as this. I always thought about simulation games and the appeal. Be it cars or aircraft, it’s the extreme side of those pursuits that hold interest for

Tomb Raider
It’s now been 17 years since Lara Croft was catapulted into popular culture as a household name. Back in 1996, the original Tomb Raider reinvented the platformer with novel 3D graphics, excellent level designs with ingenious puzzles. And, of course,

Cloud Atlas
I tell thee, I do not envy the job of the editor on this movie. The Wachowskis are not known for being sympathetic with their viewers, often opting to confuse through a baffling combination of visuals and dialogue, one could

Number plate stolen – what to do
Biowidge. I’ve been happy with people calling me that for 10 years now. Because for that long, it’s been the number plate on my car. B10WDG. A good friend of mine, Adam, bought it for me that long ago and

Wreck it Ralph
This is what life’s about. Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks – enough to get any adult excited. Strange given the films are directly intended for kids. But they possess so many hidden layers these days that it’s impossible to not get drawn

Total Recall
What is it about reminiscing about these films of the 80’s and 90’s that trigger such fantastic memories? Arnold is just not a good actor. No, really he isn’t. But what he had, he has carried through 40 years of

Zero Dark Thirty
I literally had no idea what this film was about when I sat down. Avoided any trailers and only absorbed the comments from a few friends who persuaded me to watch it. After 20 minutes of gruelling introductions to the

The Master
Tell me to watch a contemporary movie and expect Philip Seymour Hoffman to be out-acted by someone else on screen and I’d think you a ignorant fool. This happens. Joaquin Phoenix is such a powerhouse in this movie, his mesmerising

Proteus Review – PC
There’s a fantastic revival going on at the moment around 8 bit gaming. The past few years I have enjoyed many masterpieces of gaming nirvana, from the infinite opportunities offered in Minecraft, to the endless replayable nature of The Binding

Spectrasoul: Delay No More
The more I dig deeper into Drum and Bass, the further enriched I become. I don’t know of any other musical genre with so many variations of its core foundations. I won’t begin to list them here, but this offering

Rewriting the rules
It dawned on me last night why I’m so hooked on motorbikes. As I rolled home from another insane, blurred ride home, bike leaning on its side as it tink’ed its way down to a cooler temperature, I had a
