I have no plans to write a lengthy review of Battlefield 3. My reasons are two-fold. Firstly, there are plenty of reviews out there already and secondly, I’ve got too much other stuff to do (but that’s another story). However, it would be utterly rude of me if I didn’t at least give some brief [...]

Battlefield 3 – if you think MW3 will be better, I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot.

Dead Island (Review) – kick, stab, maul, bosh, whallop
Posted: 21st September 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: dead island, review, zombies
Ah, zombies, they seem to be all the rage at the moment. We’ve had zombie flick after zombie fick hitting the big (and little) screen and it seems like everyone is cashing in. Games are no different. There have been copious amounts of them over the last few years – Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, [...]
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Review)
Posted: 20th September 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: deus ex, deus ex human revolution, review
Well, it took me a while but it’s probably time I wrote a review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The first point to note, something you might gather from the fact that it’s now a few weeks since its launch, is that the game is substantial. In total it took me a healthy 26 hours [...]
Eee Pad Transformer TF101 – It’s the bee’s knees! (see what I did?)
Posted: 28th June 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: Android, Asus, Eee Pad Transformer, netbook, review
For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a Google Chromebook – just for something to play (and write) with on the train. But much to my annoyance, Samsung pushed back the release date of the 3g version until the 1st of August. Which was just rude. Anyway, in the meantime, [...]
A good friend bought me Mafia II as a surprise gift the other week when it was a mere £5 on Steam. It was certainly a welcome treat. I had played the demo and was honestly underwhelmed by it. Mediocre at best. Which was rather a shame because I had high-hopes after hearing various pre-launch [...]
Watchmen is another in a long-line of films derived from comic books, but this isn’t another Iron Man or Hulk, Watchmen is far more similar to Frank Miller’s Sin City. Yes, Watchmen is gritty and unexpected. I didn’t read the comic, so I didn’t know what to expect and I’m sure fanboys would bemoan its [...]
Green Zone (Review)
Posted: 11th November 2010 by Age in ReviewsTags: blu ray, green zone, not at all like Bourne, review
Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass back together again. Surely that’s a recipe for a truly awesome film? Critics dubbed Green Zone as “Bourne gone epic” But Bourne it is not. It’s what Bourne would be if he was a proper soldier being filmed by Michael Moore. Basically, Green Zone is just a story about the [...]
The Book of Eli (Review)
Posted: 30th September 2010 by Age in ReviewsTags: denzel washington, film, review, the book of eli
I’d be wanting to watch The Book of Eli since I saw the trailer for it when it was released at the cinema. I was intrigued by the apparently religious plot, the desolate back-drop and the action. Clearly any film with Denzel Washington in it would be worth a watch. He’s a fine and talented [...]
Who dares wins – Chris Ryan (review)
Posted: 21st September 2010 by Age in RamblingsTags: chris ryan, review, SAS, Who Dares Wins
Another action-packed Chris Ryan classic, Who Dares Wins finds a small SAS team tasked with “terminating” a group of British youths apparently stationed at a training camp for God-knows-what in the middle of some foreign land. A few years before hand, one of the teams members by the name of Jacob was forced to leave [...]
The Bucket List (Review)
Posted: 20th September 2010 by Age in ReviewsTags: death, jack nicholson, morgan freeman, review, the bucket list
The Bucket List is one of those films you can be quitely confident is going to be good right from the start. What film starring both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman wouldn’t be good? The best way to sum it up, right from the beginning would be a to call it a “feel good” movie. [...]
