Microsoft’s Dutch Facebook page, maybe realising E3 was on the horizon, has asked readers/fans if they can recognise the four big games shown in an image.

This Loki Figure Made Me Appreciate The Avengers Costume Designers

As people are probably aware from my fairly frequent posts about Hong Kong collectible toy company Hot Toys’ Movie Masterpiece figures, I am a bit of a fan of the collectible figurine.

Warhammer 40K Is Getting The Movie It Deserves

I tried to sit down and watch Ultramarines, Games Workshops’ official animated Warhammer 40K film, a few years ago. Made it maybe 15 minutes in. It was awful. Like bad 90’s PC game cinematics. Where official projects fail, however, fan projects can be counted on to succeed. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a…

One Thing’s For Sure About Remember Me: Its Art Is Beautiful

Remember Me is one of those rare – and wonderfully so – games thatdivides opinion. Yeah, it’s got some iffy combat, and the platforming’s not so great. But the world developers Dontnod created for it to exist in…just, wow. The Neo-Paris of 2084 is a remarkable place, taking design cues from the obvious – like…

Phenomenal cosmic power… and (relatively) itty bitty price.
