Forza motorsport 3 truly is everything it claims to be. The realistic handling, the beginners guidance arrows laid on the track, and the immense graphics are all qualities which really do place this game above the others currently on the market, and it really is ‘as real as it gets’.
If you are a PC gamer, you will probably use Steam, Valve’s digital distribution platform which is kinda known for occasionally having insane sales. Well, One such sale has recently ended. As well as reducing near everything in the Steam store, if you checked back every day you could get your hands on some even further reduced games. And that I did, here’s what I bought and what I think of them so far.
FUEL was my first purchase, at around £5. I’d read the hype that was happening before it’s release, with it’s ridiculously huge open world and the like, but for me the game was a let down. After banging my head against the wall whilst the necessary Games for Windows Live installed and updated itself (Closing the game around 4 times in the process, I mean, what the hell GFWL, why would you do that?), I leapt into the game. Well, no I didn’t, because I needed to adjust the graphics options, which you can’t do ingame. Sigh. Another restart of the game later and FINALLY I can start playing. And.. well.. I really didn’t like it. The actual racing felt clunky and rigid and the way of accessing races, whilst probably the best way to do it with such a large world, took you out of the game. Ditching races for the moment I decided just to explore, and whilst my surroundings looked nice, everywhere felt kinda samey.. Even climbing to some of the game’s Vista points just got me to see the same stuff in a prettier way. Having said that, the weather and light cycles were really enjoyable. Driving along a clifftop path whilst the sun is setting was the most fun I had in the game. What really killed it for me though is the poor GPS, if you’re going to have a game hyped up because of it’s huge gameworld, you might want to make sure it’s usable.
After recently completing the first Mario Galaxy, I took full responsibility of playing it at the expo. Throughout both days there was a massive crowd around the game, implying it’ll be new and different to the previous game however after managing to play it at the last minute I found I could shorten this review to “more of the same” but that would make it seem like a bad thing, since it is still one of my favourite Mario games and so much has been improved.
First of the premise, which is the same as usual. Peach has yet again been captured by Bowser and you as the portly plumber have to go save her (I’d have given in by now and just let Bowser have her) by collecting stars from various levels (galaxies) and face several bosses along the way. So just like any other Mario game but that was to be expected. » Read more: [Wii] Super Mario Galaxy 2
There’s always something fun about going to see a film that has received and almost complete critical slamming. There have been one star reviews galore for Ninja Assassin, but I thought I’d go for it anyway. I mean, this is a film from James McTeigue. He. for the uneducated, was assistant director on the Matrix Trilogy, Star Wars Episode 2, and made his directorial debut in 2006 with one of the better film adaptations of a comic book, the unforgettable V for Vendetta.
With my hopes of a resurrection of true narrative cinema gold crushed before I even entered the cinema, and having seen the trailers, I sat ready to be bored to death and be bathed in CGI blood. The second part happened, the first however, didn’t go as I had expected.

Horror, horror, horror. I am a bit of a horror film fan, and recently I seem to be reviewing quite a few of them. Clearly this is the year to be scared by my blog, and not just for the poor writing. Today shall be no different, bad writing, and a horror movie. This time it is a remake of sorts of the 1940s film The Wolf Man, this is The Wolfman.
The space in the title isn’t the only change here. Whilst the original was much more of an internal conflict, a man battling to come to terms with his new existence as a werewolf, this film is much more of an external battle. The on-screen transformation is also seen much earlier in the film this time round, be that because they can with technology, or to hold the attention of a modern audience is up for debate.
Will you be attending this October MCM Expo?
