As a gamer I often have in character choices of the type of gun and ammo to use. This is true whether I’m playing a tabletop RPG secret agent or a CRPG like Fallout when I’m lucky to grape together the bits to make a pea shooter. As a result, even though I’m from Europe […]

Wolverine or two Batmen?
Ah! Optical illusions are ace. Optical illusions that feature Wolverine are ace. Optical illusions that feature two Batmen are twice as ace. If the previous statements are true then how ace is this picture? Which do you see first? Wolverine or the two Batmen? Really? (via reddit.)
Priest trailer – Super Bowl ad with #priest goodness
This Priest trailer aired during the Super Bowl. Frankly, I think the Super Bowl could have done with more vampires and so Priest made a huge impact on the game by adding just two or three. Also, this Priest trailer ends by encouraging us to include #priest in our Twitter chats about the film. I […]
Doctor Who infographic
I very much suspect this infographic is for two types of Doctor Who fans. The new fans can use this a chance to quickly catch up on the previous generations of the Doctor – or Grandfather as Susan called him. Older Doctor Who fans can use the Doctor Who infographic has a chance to say; […]
Extended PlayStation phone advert
There have been rumours of a PlayStation phone for a while now. Not just rumours but very real demand. Heck. I seriously wonder whether my next phone will be the joyous union of a) internet access and b) gaming. All the speculation was that it would be an Android phone. All the smart money was […]

The spin-off […]
Dragon Warriors RPG moving to Serpent King Games
One of the very first published RPGs I ever played was Dragon Warriors. I still have all six original books, somewhere, I think, I hope! In the recent past Dragon Warriors had a home in the Mongoose Publishing empire. It was looked after by Magnum Opus, who published it via Flaming Cobra, a Mongoose imprint. […]
Super 8 Super Bowl TV trailer
It’s been a whole since we’ve written about the new J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg Super 8 project. At the time we wondered whether it could be a prequel to Cloverfield. It’s not. Super 8 is a merger of Speilberg films like Close Encounters and spooky Abrams drama. The trailer explains all. Any thoughts? Interested […]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon Super Bowl trailer
It should be no surprise that Mr Michael Bay has managed to land a Super Bowl trailer for the next Transformers movie. I have to admit that this is the first time that Dark of The Moon has looked tempted to me. I thought the second Transformers movie had killed the weak franchise off for […]
Thor Super Bowl trailer
The Super Bowl was a good one for movie trailers. It always is. One of the movies that featured was Thor. I have mixed feelings about this movie. I want to be good but for some reason it’s generating a nagging concern that I can’t seem to shrug off. What do you think? Compare it […]
