The Watch: Review

Sigourney Weaver, Will Smith, William Shatner. Names that can be paired with battling inter-galactic enemies. One name I bet you didn't expect to be able to add to that list is Ben Stiller, but now he steps into the shoes of Earth Defender in The Watch; a Sci-fi/action/comedy written by Seth Rogen and directed by Akiva Schaffer. Whilst not terrible, it's not quite up there with the other releases this year.

L.A Noire

Infamous for its crime based videogames, Rockstar Studios have developed quite a reputation for their ambitious, rebellious games, such as the GTA series, or the schoolyard based little brother, Canis Canem Edit. However, they’ve now taken a new turn in the way of making you a 1940s L.A cop, rather than a modern day gang member. This was undoubtedly a risky move, as the much loved developers are taking a drastic step away from their established identity, but it has absolutely paid off, as L.A Noire is one of Rockstar’s best games to date.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Between the success of Resident Evil 5, and the anticipation of Resident Evil 6, Capcom have given us R.E, Operation Raccoon City, in order to tide us over and sate our zombie slaying appetites. Unfortunately, this game seems a little...well, for lack of a better term, awful. Just plain awful. This is a 3^rd person shooter with a few minor entertaining features that are completely pushed out of view by the overwhelming number of faults. Trust me when I say, this game is not even close to being worth the price you’ll be charged to buy it.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy

The Bourne Conspiracy is a third-person action game that at first seems like a great idea, but there are a number of flaws that make this game seem more like an old-school arcade game than a covert, black-ops mission. And as a fan of the movies, I was expecting to feel the full power of Bourne in my hands. Unfortunately, I didn't.

Infamous 2: Review

It’s time to once again pick a side, as Sucker Punch Studios’ electricity-wielding superhero takes to the streets of New Marais, with new powers, new enemies and new allies, with some old names thrown in for good measure. But can the sequel live up to the hype from its predecessor?

TimeShift: Review

OK, so this week I’ve been playing TimeShift, a sci-fi shooter that was delayed and put back many times before its release. Due to these set-backs, I had high hopes that this game would be great, as they had continually put back the release as they were making it better, but I regret to inform you, that I was bitterly disappointed. Many aspects of this game fall short of the hopes that I had in store, and it does not come close to living up to the expectations I had.

The Dark Knight Rises: Movie Review

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.
