GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Aug 20, 2009

Sign in, select all new arrivals, gasp! this is the process i go through many wednesday mornings. When i first purchased my 360 the online was key. Games like Gears of war and Call of duty were a must. However, the arcade games and the xbox originals just sat on the dashboard, not really catching my attention. But now! oh now, its completely different. Some days i don't even open the disc tray. I just soak up the Arcade for hours on end. Back last year there wasn't much to look forward to, maybe one or two big titles and then a shed load of retro remakes but in the last couple of months we have had completely new titles that could pass as actually disc games. We have Battlefield 1943, graphics are limited and maps are limited but just to have an FPS of this nature for download is enough to forget any flaws and just enjoy the damn thing. We also have games like Shadow Complex, which i just purchased with my points not more than an hour ago and already i'm hooked.

We also now finally have the Games on demand service. Full, official 360 titles for download, similar to the PS3 and with the PSP GO on the way, to me it looks like digital copies of games may be having a rapid boost in sales in the next couple of years, a new age of gaming may soon be upon us people!

Wow that must be my first blog in years now. It's good to be back!

Anyone watch it? E4 on wednesdays? Kevin Smith? ...No? Dang it!

For those who aren't aware of it, it's a TV show recently made by Kevin Smith showing on E4. It's about a guy called Sam who has his soul sold to the devil by his parents before he is even conceived. Being under a contract with the devil his job desciption, if you could call it a job, requires him to capture escaped souls from hell, much like fugitives. Now these souls aren't just floating ghostly apparitions, they are all angry, crazy, sick, twisted souls intent on causing more destruction in death than they did in life and Sam has to be the one to stop them and send them back to where they belong. The poor guy.

So that's basically the story behind it. This TV show is the best thing i've seen in a long time. Anyone who is into Kevin Smith films, or TV shows that are supernatural comedies then this show is for you, i haven't missed an episode to date, and don't intend to. Bring on the DVD release!

A strange movie, this. At times it seems like a genuinely good story and then somehow manages to drag itself back down into the dirt.
It's a story about the monsters that come for you in the dark, simply put. The story revolves around a...

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Any fan of the game will be jumping out of their seat cheering by the time the intro is over. A film that sticks to the world of Final Fantasy VII quite faithfully.
Basically the film is set just a few years after the events of the game and...
