The Master Chief returns for his third and
final sojourn, but will
he succeed? Arguably the biggest videogame launch in the history of the
world, Will Barker reviews the game and says it's got
some
issues. Ouch! We've also included a full run down, description
and
even a rating of each weapon, grenade, and vehicle in the game. Take a
seat, this one's big...

DVD Review -
Ghost
in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man
When it comes to cyberpunk conspiracy
movies, Ghost in the
Shell is one of the best. So what is The Laughing
Man?
It's a 2-disc DVD set that compiles the entire 26-part TV series into a
handy-dandy two hour movie and though sometimes confusing, it's
excellent anime.

Xbox 360 Review- Enemy
Territory: Quake Wars
Ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360 from the well
regarded PC game, Enemy
Territory: Quake Wars can now be played with a control pad. But will
you want to do this? If you've already played the PC version, then
probably not. But for newcomers there's a lot to like here.

DVD Review -
Black
Lagoon
When the Lagoon Company's pirate shit
intercepts Rok's business
charter, his incredibly dull life takes a mind-blowing twist. As Will
Barker explains, Black
Lagoon is an intriguing anime series that's a little
absurd, but has supreme action overkill to keep fans glued to their
TVs.

When Devils cry, do the wings of a thousand
butterlies fell trees in deserted forests? We can't know for sure, but
Capcom's latest action game Devil May Cry 4 certainly felled us with
its superlative visuals and engrossing combat. Tommy Machuca
reviews one of the best PS3 games yet.

DS Game Review - The Legend of
Zelda:
Phantom Hourglass
It's rare for a game to come along
that makes Will Barker
cream his tweeds, especially a hand held game. But the new Zelda title
has done just that, with its innovative use of the touch screen and
addictive adventuring. "Zelda is beyond good, it's
extraordinary."

Xbox 360 Game
Review - Call
of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The Call of Duty franchise has been a
strong seller, and for
good reason - the games are some of the most realistic, pulse pounding
experiences you're likely to encounter on the small screen. The fourth
game in the CoD series has arrived and it's definitely the
best
yet.

Evil 5
If there's one thing that unites Xbox 360
and Playstation 3 gamers,
it's Stacie Orrico. But, in the grand scheme of things, Will Barker
writes that an online mode for the upcoming Resident Evil 5 game could
also change the way rival console gangs approach each other. In-game
trailer included.
