It’ll come as no surprise to those who know me that I am a big fan of all things Dynasty! So when the first crossover arrived I was really pissed off, it was extremely frustrating and lacking a hook to draw me into the Gundam world. Luckily this new one is a whole heap better, and some of the shit the characters say really cracks me up (eg – “I think I’ll put on a mustache today… There, that’s better”).

I can’t really say a lot about this game other than it is awesome, the best music game I’ve ever played. Read the full review over at Gadgetoid: http://www.gadgetoid.com/2009/05/30/guitar-hero-metallica-xbox-360/

Mutated mushrooms, gargantuan cactii and sentient vines all feature in this interesting little platformer on the Wii. It’s quite short, but nonetheless is fun and worth a look. …

Also came across this interesting little trailer for a film by Neil Blomkamp, the chap responsible for some pretty awesome Halo 3 marketing material. District 9 appears to be a scifi story that reflects a very human problem. With a big name producer to boot (Peter Jackson), this could be one to keep your eyes open for…

Just got back from seeing Star Trek and was looking at my twitter updates, Zen And Tonic retweeted the link for this gem on youtube which I couldn’t help but mention here….

Okay, so I’m catching up on things now! March was a bit of a crazy month as far as CGUK was concerned, the show as I had come to know it is now over and there are several new, smaller projects which I wish everyone luck with. The community is still strong and as always, we played some Halo 3! World leaders got together in Europe to discuss how they’re going to save the world from the financial hole we’re in, possibly by digging upwards. The Watchmen rocked our cinema screens and Peggle finally made it to the...

Even later than my last one, this will sit back to back with March’s round up! In February we spent our time shovelling snow off our drives, watching the Superbowl, playing Halo Wars and Onechanbara and all the good shows that were on hiatus over winter came back on telly. Thanks to Heroes and Fringe, my weekly schedule is more packed than ever.
