Beyond Good & Evil HD Xbox 360 review

So, whats it all about, and why should you buy it? Its a packed title, and one thats never dull. Whats more, life forms are everywhere, and include NPCs, and even Uncle Peyj himself. It certainly beats collecting flags (pay attention, Ubisoft!). Combat in the game isnt the main focus, but is handled well. You cant see me! (Well, unless you stood in a locker for 5 minutes.) Boss fights are plentiful too, in both on-foot and vehicle sections....

One levels full of huge, superbly designed cloth dinosaurs. IsKirbys Epic Yarntoo easy, as some have argued?...

Looking back at the 9 movie adaptations of Philip K Dick

A pity since, by most accounts, this is a faithful, well-made rendering of the book. Later types, however, begin to display an unnerving ability to take on the appearance of humans. It is, nevertheless, a bit of a forgotten classic, and well worth rediscovering. Imposteris, therefore, a film of mixed fortunes. Like the original short story,Paycheckdeals with erased memories. The sci-fi elements were later added at the suggestion of his publisher....

Raging Bull 30th Anniversary Special Edition Blu-ray review

Martin Scorseses remarkable boxing biopic, Raging Bull, gets a 30th anniversary Blu-ray release. It charts the rise and spectacular fall of a boxer.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds PlayStation 3 review

The game is, likeStreet Fighter, 2D, but has had a 3D visual makeover. Teamwork It may look the part, but if it doesnt play well, its all for nought. New to the series is the inclusion of the X-Factor power. This move, which can be used once per bout, drastically boosts your characters attack and defence. Players using this well can literally come back from a sliver of health to win the fight....
