What do you call an Indie gaming company who turn down the opportunity to be in the Indy Megabooth the PAX Prime Expo? Well, subjectively, the answer to that question depends on your opinion of Penny Arcade. But the objective answer to that question is- The Full Bright Company. It’s not too often that we see any…
Wargamers are an interesting, if not mysterious, breed that exists within our community. They’re not like Cosplayers, or gamers, or sci-fi geeks. You can’t pick them out in a crowd by how they dress, how they talk, or whether they can flawlessly demonstrate the Vulcan salute. What we picture, when we think of a tabletop…
If you were one the the hopeful fans of Duke Nukem who bought the Duke Nukem Forever because you wanted to re-live the crass jokes of your childhood and you’ve always secretly enjoyed using in-game toilets for no apparent reason, then my friend, I have the game you were meant to play. The loading times…
Maybe it’s because the development team are obviously on the side of the Imperium and I’m more of a Slaanesh girl, but the recent announcement of Eternal Crusade (an MMO based on the 40K universe) did not thrill me to my core, the way it should have. It’s not that it won’t look beautiful, there’s…
When it was announced that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge would have it’s release in Australia, rated R18+, there was a sigh of relief. It had felt like the discussions, the votes, the explanations of “But videogames aren’t just for 12 year olds!” had gone on forever. The time of censorship was over, now we…
If you’ve been lucky enough to grow up with comic books and a way to access them, then you can probably just pick a good comic book on little more than instinct. Not all of us were so lucky. I didn’t go into my first comic book store until 2 years ago (They’re coming to…
I’m anticipating World War Z to be great. The book, by Max Brooks, reignited my love for the zombie genre. I can only hope that the cleverness within the pages, makes it onto the big screen. If you get to see WWZ and it does for you what the books did for me, you will…
With World War Z hitting our eyeballs soon, you might find yourself concerned as to how you’ll deal with a zombie apocalypse. After all, you’re not Brad Pitt. The only way to get out of it alive, is to be powerful. But you’re also not Milla Jovovich. The next best thing you can do, is…
Happy Zombie Friday, everybody! I know, there’s loads of Zombie Survival Guides out there for when Z-Day finally hits us and we all end up living in a Zompocalyptic land. But why should we wait for science to finally bring about our destruction? There are things you can be doing right now, that will drastically…
Short version of this review: It has fart guns. Watch it! Longer version of this review: This movie made me cry with happiness within the first 5 minutes and they hadn’t even gotten to the fart guns yet. A sequel of something popular is always a risk, especially when it comes to cartoons. Something that…
You know what there aren’t enough of these days? Shows about deadly video games that can kill you. And free chocolate. Not nearly enough free chocolate. But back to the shows about video games. I mean, sure, the kids have Pixel Face, which if you have to ask….You probably don’t want to know. There was…
Have you ever wanted to see a movie starring Nicholas Cage, set in the D.C universe, directed by Tim Burton and written by Kevin Smith? Superman Lives: Will It Happen? WELL YOU CAN’T! STOP DREAMING, YOU DREAMER! ‘SUPERMAN LIVES’ WILL NEVER COME TO FRUITION! NEVER! At least, that has been the reality for many years….
Dear Xbox, I think we need to start seeing other people. Well, you need to maybe start seeing other people and I need to start seeing other consoles. You’re a great franchise of consoles. It’s just, after your One reveal, then your E3 conference and then seeing Sony’s E3 press conference, I really feel that…
After the Xbox One Launch: Me: “Help me, E3 Microsoft Press Conference, you’re my only hope” Microsoft Press Conference: “I find your lack of faith disturbing” Then, I choked on sadness (and the shame of mixing of Star Wars quotes so badly). Xbox One: Is it THE One? If the Xbox One launch caste a…
If you thought ‘Gangnam Style’ was actually a song about giant robots, then you already know what Gundam is. You might also be aware that Gunpla World Cup 2013, like Winter, is coming. In December. (Unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, then that doesn’t make seasonal sense). For the uninitiated, what is Gundam? Uhhh, they’re…
