The Christopher Nolan series is known by many to be the best series of Batman films to date. Their dark twist has managed to please fans, and the intricate narrative, pulse-pounding action, and truly spectacular effects have made this a series to remember. Now the finale is upon us, and it is undoubtedly the biggest scale, the most emotionally involved, and absolutely the most climactic entry of them all. The Dark Knight Rises finishes the series with a bang, and it is not one to be missed.

Attack the Block: Review
If I had to
summarize Attack the Block in one word, that word would be: unique. It seems
like a crazy idea, mixing the conventions of social realism dramas based in the
rough ends of London, with a comedic sci-fi horror movie. But Attack the Block does it so well, it
seems like the two drastically different genres should fit perfectly together. What
starts off looking like the typical, gritty drama about a gang of youths in a
London council estate, quickly becomes a deadly, yet comedic fight for survival
against extra-terrestrial forces. The teenage stereotype of hoodies with
baseball bats and switchblades is not only exaggerated, but used. The violent
behaviour that modern day gangs have become associated with is shown in a new
light, as it is used to repel the alien invasion.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Review
If you’re
bored, and want something to do for a few hours...or days...or weeks...then Skyrim isn’t for you. This game will
undoubtedly take you months to see all it has to offer, and with solid combat,
responsive controls and a ridiculous amount of things to do, you should clear
your schedule, turn off your phone and get started, because Skyrim is here, and it’s one of the best
RPGs of all time.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception: Review
I must
admit, back in 2007, when Uncharted:
Drake’s Fortune was released, the trailer didn’t really strike my fancy. I
gave it a try though, and since then, Naughty
Dog’s franchise has been in my top five, and has been unmovable by any
other games that I have played, (and trust me, I play a lot). Now here we are
with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception,
and believe me when I say, Drake is back and better than ever.

The Amazing Spiderman: Review
In 2002, Tobey Maguire brought the Marvel web-slinger
to life in the first live-action Spiderman movie. The two sequels went steadily
downhill, but now we have something new. Andrew Garfield stars as the beloved
hero in this re-telling of the story from a different Spiderman universe, and
trust me when I say, fans of the franchise are in for a treat.
Sorry!
Sorry its late, I've been out all day and have only just had the chance to post. Here is today's review-The Amazing Spiderman!

Goldeneye 007: Reloaded
15 years
ago, Bond fans were treated to what has been considered the greatest
first-person shooter of all time. Then, last year it was re-released for the
Wii and DS, pleasing Nintendo fans to no extent. PS3 and Xbox fans had to make
do with Blood Stone, the less than perfect 3rd person shooter. Now,
PS3 and Xbox owners will be shaking with glee, as Goldeneye has finally hit
Sony and Microsoft.
