    Transformers 2

    I had the displeasure of seeing this movie in the cinema. If you've seen the first film and want more (or have not yet turned 15) then this film is for you. Otherwise, steer well clear. It is too stupid, too loud, too long and too painful to watch in one sitting. And this from an old...

    Nexterest-gen Lost Vikings

    I facepalmed a bit when I saw the "preview hype" around the game compare it to Prince Of Persia and Flashback. Like Black said, it's almost like Lost Vikings.

    Michael Jackson: Dead

    Now there's a self-righteous ignorant cliché if I ever heard one. Let's assume that three celebrities are scheduled to die this month. How do you know which three they are? How do you know if you got the right celebrities? Compared to Michael Jackson, every other celebrity that's died this month...

    From the director of Independence Day...2012

    "Mankind's earliest civilization..." What a load of crap. Gives me a good clue as to what the film will be like. It's like that film Bee Movie. When the first words spouted by the film were something along the lines of "According to all known laws of physics, bees cannot fly", then I knew...

    Total Recall, remake, coming soon...(2010)

    Two more 80s films that I've found are up on the remake block: Short Circuit and Police Academy. I also recall rumours about someone trying to push trough a remake of Smokey & The Bandit. Blergh.

    What do YOU want on your tombstone?

    He was cremated and his ashes scattered. So the answer to your question is propably yes.

    Total Recall, remake, coming soon...(2010)

    Have you seen the movie going public lately? 90% of movie-goers have just recently begun growing body hair in weird places, and are using movies as a venue to explore possible physical relations with members of the opposite sex. They don't care what's on the big screen, their attention is...

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The ultimate crossover! Funny you should say that...

    An Alpha Centauri playthrough?

    I haven't played this game in years. Now I want to do so again. I may be stating the obvious, but of the 7 new factions in Alien Crossfire, there are 3 which pretty much break the game: The two Alien factions and the Nautilus Pirates. The Alien factions speak for themselves, but the Pirates...

    D-Day Anniversary. Yeah I know ... its old (ts really!)

    Unlike the French, let's not forget the Algerians fighting in the French armies in WWII. During the war, they made up 2/3rds of the French fighting force, IIRC. France even went so far as to make sure that only "white-only" regiments were seen in the retaking of Paris at the end of WWII.

    Total Recall, remake, coming soon...(2010)

    More films on the remake block - Highlander and Commando. The A-Team remake is a film. No big names attached to it yet.

    Total Recall, remake, coming soon...(2010)

    Let's see...they're remaking Footloose, the A-Team, Robocop, Total Recall and are pondering a Top Gun remake as well as Ferris Bueller. Then there's the Alien "prequel", Robert Rogriguez's "reboot" of Predator and the new "V" miniseries. But hey, at least Ghostbusters is getting a sequel and...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I've dusted off an old classic, Veil of Darkness. I completed it once sometime in the last century and only remembered bits and pieces of it. Enjoyable setting, but Quest For Glory IV did it all so much better. Except the bit with the werewolf. I think that moment deserves a place in a "Top...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    I'm leaning towards DS9 being a B5 ripoff, but DS9 didn't start doing so until both shows were already on the air for about 1 season. Then the Trek scriptwriters were scrambled together to come up with "TEH EPICZ STOREE" to try to rival Straczynski's. While this resulted in the best Star Trek...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    I was so very relieved when Episode III was released, then I knew that Star Wars was dead for good and I had no reason to concern myself with it anymore. The best time-travel related plotline I've seen in Star Trek is the one they never used. Another series was being planned to be aired...

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    For the record I'm not enough of a fan to be a Trekkie/Trekker, but I did enjoy the shows and the films...though I haven't seen anything Star Trek-related older than the Motion Picture. I recognised that Trek has a distinct style to it that is different than other sci-fi shows...but now it seems...

    RIP 3d Realms?

    This has been a weird day for the gamer in me. DNF seemingly croaks, Thief 4 is all but announced to the world and Lord British is suing NCSoft for more money than I'll ever see in my entire life...because he went into space. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly?

    Star Trek 11 or just plain 'Star Trek'

    IIt's been about a week since I've seen it. It's Trek Jim, but not as you know it. The film's biggest fault is the villain. I think the film dedicates about 30 seconds to explaining the villain and his motives. Also, keep an eye out for a Cloverfield monster. And the Beastie Boys. I'm...

    Baldur's Gate Series

    Isn't there a demo out there for the first Baldur's Gate? Only the first two chapters or something along those lines? If you can find it, it should be an excellent method to determine whether BG is a game for you.
