Pirotic: unfortunately the demo doesn't really give that great an impression of the game, as you only get the first tutorial level and the crappy aircraft carrier scene - I'll never understand why they chose that level for the demo.
In fact, I'd played the demo a while ago, and when the review copy landed on the mat I wasn't really looking forward to playing it because the demo was kind of underwhelming imo. |

Bill Bailey - one VERY funny bloke.
Definitely. I had a chance to see one ep of black books one an mindnumbingly long plane voyage last year. Absolutely fantastic. "..yes..but by the same token..the more expensive the wine..the gooder it tis.." classic. Shame we don't have it on dutch telly.

I agree, I wasn't really into the Marvel/DC comics in a big way but Spidey/Batman were always my favourite while Superman was just too 'nice' (we were probably ruined by the Christopher Reeve version).
I confess I've never read the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen though I hear they're making a film of it, I know Alan Moore basically from the stuff he did for 2000AD which was absolutely superb - Halo Jones is my all-time favourite strip I think. |

This is one the most fun games I've ever played, it seriously gets the atmosphere spot on. I think I spent the whole time playing it with the biggest cheesy grin on my face.
Its worth mentioning the bevvy of fan sites featuring enormous amounts of mods and models like http://www.raventg.com/ff.nsf/All/Recipes http://irlheat.bhmotorsports.com/FF/index.html |

Oh man. I've forgotten Nemesis the Warlock.
How could I have forgotten Nemesis the Warlock? I MUST go dust off those old albums and read everything once again. Nemesis the Warlock is, was and ever will be the coolest comic book character anywhere ever. Damn, now I feel all apocalypse-y, science fiction-y and no future-y inside. |

It's a pity Pat Mills hasn't actually written a good story for bloody ages though, the recent ABC Warriors on Mars story was bloody awful. Perhaps one day he'll go back to writing a decent story without all the eco and chaos crap polluting it, I have my doubts that'll happen though... |

No no no!! It hasn't gone crap! Honest!! :)
I was a bit disappointed with their Bad Company revival but the Megazine has just finished rerunning the *stupendous* original stories and the weekly is currently red-hot with an excellent Strontium Dog and Rogue Trooper revivals as well as the resurrected VCs, also some very strong new stories. Ditto Megazine - the Bendatti Vendetta and Lenny Zero are superb and you've just missed the incredible Hellboy! /otto backpedals frantically

Yeah, agreed on both. Dunno why they did that to Bad Company, it also looks as if they heard the criticism and canned the story early, its ending was very sudden. Usually the current editorial team seems fairly sensitive to the need to avoid devaluing major characters (the current Rogue Trooper & Strontium Dog stories being a case in point - they're so 'classic' it hurts). But they do make mistakes.

Just worth mentioning that the patch has added some fantastic add-on's into the game chiefly the 'Danger Room' instant pick up and play modes.
Top stuff. |
