Aardman’s Movie News – 2 New Feature Films with DreamWorks!

Aardman – King of the Stop Motion Animated films – are firstly taking on Pirates!, which is based off the best selling series of books by Gideon Defoe. Prepare yourselves for (another) swashbuckling adventure which sees a group of pirates meeting with Charles Darwin (didn’t see that one coming did you?) and a talking chimp named Mr. Bobo to do battle with a mysterious enemy… Their other upcoming flick is called Arthur Christmas. This, conversely, will be following the ever increasing trend of CGI. Following the poor (and understandably so) returns of Flushed Away you can only wonder as to why they have opted to go down this route. Flushed Away incidentally also led to…

The Cheapskate Geek – Top 5 Free Applications

This week I wanna take a look at some of the best free applications online. I am going to ignore some of the more obvious choices, so if you haven’t heard of Firefox, AVG or AVira Antivirus, or even good old winamp, spend some time on Google saving yourself a few pesos. In the order that I think of them. 1.

Online Gaming 4 Dummies – Black Prophecy and Dragon Sky 2 MMOs 4 America

Hello everyone and welcome to another installment of Online Games 4 Dummies. I apologize in advance for the length of this post. Originally, I planned to do a full review of one of the games I’m current in closed beta for: Free Realms by Sony Entertainment. However, due to unforeseen circumstances (flash drive wipe), I lost the post and quickly had to retype something else. As a result, this post is much shorter than originally planned, but I hope to have you the full coverage later this week. Enjoy! Black Prophecy – Deep Space Nine Meets MMO Earlier this week, Reakktor Media revealed their new space themed MMO, Black Prophecy. Now, if you have ever…

Cameron Looks Back At The Station Agent!

One thing I have become increasingly irritated by is the blockbuster Hollywood films that makes it in to the cinemas these days. Movies are being made purely to make money and not being used as an art form as I believe they should be. Which is why I have decided to review, even ‘plug’ those lesser known films that may not have even been shown in many cinemas, films that should be given a spot in cinemas even now. First on a list is a film that made me life until I cried: ‘The Station Agent’ (2003). This film is quality, and I don’t mean that in a gangster wannabe “quality mate” way, it truly…

10 Current-Generation Games You Might Not Have Played, But Probably Should

Right, I’ll start by explaining what’s going on here. This was originally going to be a piece about ‘must-play’ games from this generation (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii), which likely would have resulted in me telling you about games you have already played or encountered in some way. There’s your Halo 3, Killzone 2, Mario Galaxy, BioShock and so on. Instead, I wanted to take a slightly different angle and bring you ten games that haven’t been so popular, and maybe urge you to give one or two a try if you’ve already passed them over. These aren’t ‘obscure gems’ or poorly-scored cult classics, there’s at least a couple that have sold well and earned…
