It’s going to be a big winter for Nintendo. This week we’ll see a special Wii U preview in the UK. Many people think of the Wii U’s GamePad when the next gen console is mentioned and what sort of games it might support. Nintendo’s cleverness with accessories isn’t just limited to the Wii U, […]

Billy the gay male Vampire Slayer, good idea?

September 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The battle for attention in the world of comics is intense. Just sit back and watch DC and Marvel go at it and you’ll see what I mean. There will be some who will criticize this Dark Horse for re-writing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer mythology from “only females can be Vampire Slayers” to “only […]

Nekrogoblikon “No One Survives”

September 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not normally a fan of death metal – but this one caught my attention. Perhaps it’s because it’s a good retelling of the traditional fantasy story of the work stressed goblin, bothered by co-workers while dreaming about getting the girl. I wonder why they call this track “No One Survives”? Fan? There’s a Facebook […]

Assassin’s Creed 3 foam tomahawk

September 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This foam tomahawk is a recreation of the weapon used by Connor in Assassin’s Creed 3. It’s 500mm by 225mm, nearly, and made from PU Latex with a fiberglass insert. Is this good enough for LARPing? It’ll depend on your marshalls and local rules but the axe head is a loop and looks rather fragile […]

Gamersgate’s ultra cheap Indiefort Bundle 3 tries something new

September 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is Indiefort Bundle 3 for the folks at Gamersgate and things are a little different. Bundles are typically straight forward – one pile of games for one really low price. No one can suggest that Indiefort Bundle 3 has broken the price promise around bundles as the most you can expect to shell out […]

Big Picture: Steam on your TV

September 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We know Valve is serious about hardware but we don’t yet have a Steambox. Today, though, we certainly narrow the gap. Valve has announced “Steam’s Big Picture”. Start with a dedicated PC (and, yup, many gamers have something spare… I may have a laptop or two tucked away), one HDMI cable and you’re ready to […]

Scary and realistic Pokemon

September 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Scyther above is just one of the realistic, almost dinosaur like, Pokemon created by the deviant artist Arvalis. I think my favourite is the Nidoking. If you look you can see a Pikachu that seems to be pretending to be one of the baby Nidokings. As always; a sample below but do check out […]

Review of The Long Earth

September 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Long Earth is a book by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. It’ll start with an admission. Although I was familiar with Pratchett and the Discworld series I wasn’t familiar with British sci-fi writer Stephen Baxter. Baxter is firmly established, a multi-award winner and responsible for the likes of Xeelee, A Time Odyssey (which was […]
