Review: Blood Bowl (by Adeptus Ace)

Xantiriad — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:17:06 +0000

I’ve played Blood Bowl in table top format, so I skipped the tutorial and created a wood elf team to go kick some blood-bowlian ass. The game consists of two teams of 11 players and a match is played in two halves are made up of 8 turns, which can be extended or decreased with [...]

Xantiriad — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:57:20 +0000

Being the xbox live arcade whore that I am, I downloaded these two new additions, the first for myself, the 2nd as my wife liked the looks of it, the fool of a took!

GYROMANCER [XBLA] I thought at first that this was a puzzle quest clone, well, it is and it isn’t. It’s actually Bejeweled [...]

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo

De Mote — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:09:53 +0000

Got to say that I do like Left 4 Dead even if I have not played it in a while. So when I heard Left 4 Dead 2 was coming out I decided to pre-order it from Game. This also gave me the advantage of getting hold of the Demo a week before it is [...]

Film Review: District 9

Axiom350 — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:10:06 +0000

Let me be the first one to say I’m not a huge Sci-fi fan. I’m easily bored by conventions and overused norms, and science fiction films very rarely portray anything other than big, bad aliens landing on earth, starting a huge war, and after a long, drawn out battle the human race surviving and winning.

Falling off the (Gaming) Wagon

GarfSpaceman — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:23:20 +0000

Earlier this year I stopped gaming. Completely, I just couldn’t see the point of it, it didn’t interest me at all any more. A variety of reasons led to this revelation, and revelation it was in that not only had I moved on from a hobby that had entertained me for so long, but also the deep hold [...]
