There’s a script, actors willing to perform, sans Rufus 🙁 Hope a way can be found to make it happen. I’ve loved Bill and Ted since my teens, scary to think it’s so long ago, I would really like to say a third installment, closure 😉 “It’s basically that Bill and Ted haven’t been able to create that song that’s supposed to change the world and what that’s done to…

An hour into LEGO Marvel Super Heroes [Metacritic 80%] and I can’t understand the great ratings. Yeah the Hulk transformations are cool, but the repeat battle animations aint I’m not a fan of Iron Man films, but the game pulls off the essence of Robert Downey Jr. The humour is there; “Dr Doom’s, doom ray of doom!” The graphics are nice et al, it’s just that the game doesn’t flow…

I thought I’d made up my mind to pick up a PS4 first in the new generation, although I’m in no rush as the launch titles don’t seem to be anything special. I love Sony’s product style, and their viral marketing campaigns are targeted well. I find Microsoft make a more rounded seamless product, much like Apple in the mobile hardware space, but I find their games souless… although I…

When I first heard of Minecraft, the tale went that the ultimate goal was to bake a cake. Today while batlling zombie’s in a Skyrim block universe, after working my way through the basic training, I could see it had come a long way since it’s baking origin, and I’m looking forward to finding out more. And to think I only started playing what some claim to be the greatest…

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Tolkien’s Middle Earth, although I don’t think The Hobbit should have been stetched out to 3 epic length films, but nevertheless I’m a long time Tolkien fan boy, and this Google web project, A journey through Middle Earth, excites me more than anything I’ve come across online in nearly 20 years. Click on this link: http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/ (I could only open it…

Feature I like about Google Keep … although not necesarily unique to the app ease it just works, although I’m not a fan of the widget, but then again Power Control is…

I didn’t enjoy the last Battlefield incarnation (it’s on my trilogies to finish list), and this one hasn’t got off to a great start. Playing on the XBOX, I’m not put off by the 2 Gig HD install. Think it’s great really, as it will mean faster data retrieval and more detailed texture mapping. And the game isn’t poor, far from it. What I don’t like is EA’s marketing and…
