Continuing the trend of talking about games I picked up from the Humble Bundle, today I shall look at Gone Home.  An indie game from The Fullbright Company, which in many ways is more of an interactive story, than a traditional video game.
Gunpoint
In a nice change, today I am going to review a game that has come out in the last two years, Gunpoint.  Created by indie developer Tom Francis, it was released last year, when I did actually hear about it through a video Videogamer did, which you may as well look at, as it’s probably a lot more informative than what I’m writing.
Fable
So to continue my streak of reviewing completely relevant video games, this last week I have been playing Fable.  Not even the second or third one, but the first.  This game came out in 2004, when I was 12.  If it makes it any better, my copy is the extended Lost Chapters version, which came out a year later.
Empress AD
If you are a regular on the live circuit, there is a good chance you have caught Empress AD.  Recent years has seen them support everyone from Cancer Bats to Kvelertak to Bring Me the Horizon, while also changing their name from just Empress and being signed to Roadrunner.  It’s gained them a reputation as a promising band, their heavy progressive sound insuring that they weren’t easy to forget, but it can be hard to truly love a band until you own their album, which is no longer a problem with the release of their debut Still Life Moving Fast.
God Gave Rock and Roll to Us.
Gene Simmons’ regularly proves that he is a man who speaks of thing he knows fuck all about.  For all I, and many others, love Kiss and the music they have released, the man is a fucking cunt.  In the last few days he’s piped about something that you would think he does know something about, rock and roll, and proved on that subject he also doesn’t have a fucking club.  Rock and roll is dead?  My fucking arse it’s dead.
Super Meat Boy
Football Manager aside, my start to game related writing seems to be exclusively limited to indie games that appeared in Indie Game the Movie.  This will be the last game, at least until I decide to check out Braid, to do so, but it is also one that has driven me insane, Super Meat Boy.  Now, once again I am years behind everyone else on this, I’m sure most of you have played Super Meat Boy, had your fun and it now sits in your Steam library uninstalled, or on whatever console you chose to play it on.  To be honest I did the same thing, I bought it a few years back, played it for a bit and forgot about it, until last month, when I decided to go back.
How long is too long?
Nine years ago Sin City came out and proved itself a stylish and exciting adaptation of a comic book.  It’s embracing of the graphic novel style, was a new way to portray the genre and the stories entwined in it, while obviously pulpy fiction, were exciting and gripping enough to insure it’s success.  After numerous delays, we have finally been provided with a sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, a movie that has seen some of the old cast return, others replaced and others join.  Yet has it just been a little bit too long for this particular sequel to make a true impression?
Transfer Deadline Day
Yesterday was transfer deadline day. Â For some a great day, for others one that rivals Christmas and New Year for being anticlimatic. Â Particularly when you are still waiting around for your team to sign a bloody left back after several seasons of not having one. Â Not that I’m bitter or anything… Â Forgetting that momentarily, I thought today would be a good day to have a look back through some of the biggest moves of the day and give my opinion on them.
A dramatic u-turn
I have not been shy in expressing my views on Babymetal.  My Sonisphere review was pretty damn harsh and maybe slightly over the top in my hatred for them.  However, I like to consider myself a fair person, so rather than completely dismiss them, I thought I should sit down with their album and find out what I really thought about this amalgamation of J-Pop and heavy metal.
What Harry did next.
Franchises aimed at the teen market are very much in vogue at the moment.  What started with Harry Potter has gone through Twilight, Hunger Games and all manner of poorer efforts.  It’s also led to a legion of young actors coming out of these franchises with the whole world having an opinion of them.  Some have failed spectacularly, Taylor Lautner comes to mind, as so far he seems to populate bad action movies and Grown Ups 2.  While the likes of Robert Pattinson have shown a new side to themselves, with interesting roles like Cosmopolis, the upcoming Map to the Stars and his most recent release The Rover.  Another teen idol who has broken out of the mold is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
