  • Deus Ex GO

    The GO series of games from Square Enix Montreal has been fantastic so far, and Iā€™ve been anxiously waiting for the release of this latest one, based on the Deus Ex franchise (another series I quite like). Itā€™s pretty much what youā€™d expect it to be like, an extension/evolution of what we saw with Lara…

    I wrote the other day how I was getting excited about playing a few iOS games, and this is another one of them. I really loved the first season of Mr. Robot – and am currently waiting for season 2 to finish before watching it – and when I saw that there was a new…

    I havenā€™t been playing games on iOS of late, but finally got around to trying out Reigns last night (a game Iā€™d been hearing raves about), and loved it. Itā€™s such a simple idea – a binary text adventure game (think choose-your-own-adventure) – but presented in such a beautiful way, and with the added mechanics…

    I donā€™t quite know why Iā€™d never watched this movie before – Iā€™ve watched pretty much every Ghibli film, and I thought I had seen this – but I was reminded of it recently because theyā€™re planning a new western release for it with new English voice acting (the film originally came out in 1991).…

    Toco Toco is an interview video series directed byĀ Anne Ferrero (who also directed the fantastic Branching Paths documentary), and the latest episode features Guilty Gear director Daisuke Ishiwatari. The series was recently re-launched and currently focuses on game creators — the previous episode focused on Suda51.

    This show is fantastic. Iā€™m three episodes in (of the six episodes we can currently watch, with the second half coming out at a later date), and Iā€™m just so in love with the cast and awesome music – well, pretty much all of the music, I just donā€™t care for theĀ ā€œmodernā€ hip-hop that opens…

    I didnā€™t like this much. More than anything, I just thought it was boring. I do remember that the original graphic novel was a classic story back when it came out, but I havenā€™t read it since then (although I do still have an original copy in one of my long boxes in my parentsā€™…

    Watched this yesterday, a touching documentary that follows two girls born in South Korea who discover they are twins (they were each adopted, with no knowledge that they had siblings) after one spots the other in a YouTube video, and then they connect via social media. A story of our times – the power of…

    At long last, my archives are back. Most of them at least. Some of you may recall that back in early 2014, I had the great misfortune of the web host I was using pulling the rug from under me, which meant that my entire website — which dated back to 2002 — suddenly disappeared.…

    Did you like Mirrorā€™s Edge? Well then why havenā€™t you played Mirrorā€™s Edge Catalyst? (I say this because it seems to have been criminally overlooked upon release.) Just like the first was so enjoyable for its unique clean world design and parkour first-person gameplay, the sequel takes all that, betters it, and offers an open…
