Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
As usual, I spent my hard earned wages on video games that came out this friday, those games being Infinite Undiscovery, and the long awaited (by me at least) sequal to Viva Pinata - Trouble in Paradise. Now, as much as I would love to tell you that I have played Infinite Undiscover, I actually found myself playing Viva Pinata until the early morning, and never really got to touch the recent Square-Enix release. As always... (posted by Kristen 3 years 156 days ago.)

Unreal Tournament 3 - The Real Truth
Now, before I begin I feel that I must state that I am in fact a fan of this series, and have been for many years, so this opinion is based on my experience of the previous games in comparison to the new Unreal Tournament game. I have been playing this series of games for more years than I care to remember, and when I first heard about the impending release of this game, I was ecstatic. This was enhanced by the...

Dragonball GT Review and Information
I have been a fan of the Dragonball series since I was about 13, which was when I first watched the Dragonball Z Saiyan Saga, and that's going back nearly ten years ago now. I would probably have been watching it for longer, but it had only just aired in the UK when I started watching it, and for years to come, I was in awe of this awesome cartoon. I remember having to wait months for either a saga to continue(I... (posted by Kristen 3 years 211 days ago.)

Alone in the Dark…are we?
I JUST purchased the new Alone in the Dark game on the xbox360I say just, however, I have been playing it solidly for about 8 hours now, and yes, I may have reached the final chapter of a game I purchased 24 hours ago, but you know what? I don't care! Now don't get me wrong, as with many next-gen games, AitD does have its flaws, both graphically and physically, but unlike most of the drivel that is released these days, you...

Live Action Dragonball
This subject matter has been in the news a lot recently, so I thought that it could do with a bit of discussion. Dragonball is one of many anime films that is to be made into a Live action movie by Hollywood. Fans of anime will undoubtedly share my apprehension about such movies...for many...many reasons. See, the problem I have had recently with Hollywood is their lack of new films. It seems these days, that 90% of the movies... (posted by Kristen 3 years 268 days ago.)

Final Fantasy Rings of Fates
Now I don't know why they have been doing it, but recently square-Enix seem to have decided that Final Fantasy games on a hand held console should be R.T.S's (Real Time Strategies)...a concept that annoys and angers me. Now for years I have loved the Final Fantasy series, as well as the 'Secret of' games, but since buying all the ones available on the DS, I have yet to play them longer than an hour as the gameplay is...
