What’s with all the films?

Many of my posts are mini-reviews for the films I'm watching as part of the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. Read more here.

Catchup

So what have I been doing while I was moving host?

I completed Lost Planet on the standard difficulty. Let me say one thing first: you can never have too many giant robots, especially ones with power blades, rocket packs and the ability to fly. But yet I don’t feel the urge to play the [...]

Moved host!

I’ve made the jump to Vidahost, though if its all gone to plan you shouldn’t be able to tell at all!

Please let me know if you find any 404s or other strange goings on.

One thing I’m glad about is that the single quote bug seems to have fixed itself. You may have noticed [...]

Moving host

I'm moving web hosts over the next few days so there will be no new posts until the domain and pages have been moved.

See you all on the other side!

Lost Planet

I'm currently spending my free time on Lost Planet. I'm quite chuffed with it, though I was worried at first about it as it's been getting 'average' reviews. They all seem to be missing a certain point though: it's a Japanese game. Here are some helpful pointers to those not familiar with Japanese games:

Most Wanted 'completed'

Pfft. Not even an end movie. You jump a bridge and get a message telling you that you're number one. Happy day.

1000 Gamerpoints on Need For Speed: Most Wanted

I finally beat the last racer to get the final 350 gamerpoints. There's a police chase afterwards before I'm 'treated' to the end movie, and the 50 different challenges to complete, but I really can't be bothered.

The game seems quite promising, the police chases are fun but the races are controller throwing-ly frustrating. [...]

4000 Gamerpoints

Just hit 4000 gamerpoints thanks to Lost Planet. I hit it exactly on the 4000 mark by managing to take out a worm, a mile-long boss. Netted me 50gp. Shame that as soon as it went down another one came up- queue me running like a girl.

Battlestar Galactica Season 3 UK

So who caught the new series of BSG on Sky One last night? Glad to see (as far as I can tell) its not cut in any way differently to the US version, and I'm also glad its not been 'Lost-ed' with adverts every time someone finishes a sentence. They have however seen fit to [...]

Casting for Command & Conquer

I just read the casting line-up for upcoming Command and Conquer 3. Quite a bunch:

Joseph D. Kuncan: He's always played Kane, he IS Kane. Billy Dee Williams: Yeah, Lando from Star Wars. Michael Ironside: You might not recognise his name, but chances are he's been in a movie you've seen. I remember him most [...]
