The Walking Dead: Us Review

The episode is in good hands with Nicotero who knows his way around a horror script. This little sequence served as a palette cleanser after last weeks unending attack of brutality. One thing fans should be pleased about is that Rosita has found herself some more clothes. This sort of character progression is appreciated. Another happy moment takes place if Glenn finds the blood notes left by Maggie. After ripping hope away last week, the show establishes some good potential feelings early this week....

Crowdfunding Friday: Chaos Reborn

We doubt it, even if it is a game we remember with cosy fondness. One of Julian Gollops most pure and elegant games appeared in 1985. Its only as the rules of the game unfold that its true brilliance becomes apparent. Almost all these spells are one-time-only deals: once theyre cast, theyre gone. Im casting Disbelieve on it… Player two:Its real. Honestly, it is. Player one:Youre bluffing. I can tell from the look on your face....

Danai Gurira interview: The Walking Dead & Michonne

Warning: contains spoilers forThe Walking Deadseason 4. Talking to Danai Gurira about Michonne at this point in The Walking Deads fourth season was an absolute treat. One ofThe Walking Deads strongest elements is that it takes time to develop the characters. Yeah it was, it was very cool. That whole episode really was great to see and to take her to another place was really exciting. It took quite a lot of patience on your part to get to it as well!...

Movie cyborgs, sci-fi, and what’s really going on

Whether it be utopia or dystopia (or both), sci-fi films almost always have something to say. However, while our views on society might differ over the years, certain elements always remain. Good or evil, a cyborg is a clean slate as much as any human character. So what do they stand for? Verhoevens vision of the future is a world where the Nukem! Again, very few eyebrows were raised at that....

The deserved rise and rise of Alfonso Cuaron

In one, we see a group of masked assassins on motorcycles attack a moving vehicle. For various reasons, Cuaron didnt direct any of them. The projects complexity only became more apparent as pre-production went on. The efforts of Cuaron and his team of actors and filmmakers would ultimately bring their own reward. Beneath all the special effects, what makesGravitywork is Cuarons talent as a storyteller. Believe starts on Thursday 27th March 9pm on UKTVs Watch (Sky TV 109 & Virgin TV 124)

Den of Geek: What made you make the jump from work-for-hire to creator-owned work in 1994? I didnt want to repeat myself too much. Do you see any similarity in todays market with the Image boom? Has the cycle repeated? Ad content continues below I know so little about what is going on in comics. I certainly do see a lot of creator owned stuff out there.

What can we expect from Alfonso Cuaron’s Believe?

Plenty of action, an odd couple and a super-powered road trip. After a few behind the scenes seat-changes, producer/director Jonas Pate is now showrunning. It combines procedural and mythological elements with action, set-pieces and emotion. Cuarons visual message tells the audience that Bo and her powers are part of a recognisably real world. After spending years developingGravitys time-consuming effects, its easy to understand why. Even whenBelieveventures into the supernatural, the effects keep their feet firmly on the ground....

Dark Souls II PlayStation 3 review

The balance was great, but the high difficulty and a notoriously punishing opening put many off. Has this focus on accessibility robbedDark Soulsof its teeth, though? At its heart,Dark Souls IIis very similar to its predecessor. Character types are much the same, as are many of the weapons and environments....
