as a star wars kid through and through i am STOKED for the new Battlefront game.

full stop.

i'm not even that bothered about the original trilogy of movies anymore, my tastes have changed to prioritize how smooth a film flows over how cool a laser beam sounds, and Lucas, Kershner, and Marquand are not the smoothest of directors. It's not that i don't think Abrams is capable, i just doubt that the script can pull off the coup that the star trek reboot did. happy to be proven wrong though.

his autobiographical account of life in the trenches of WW1 - Goodbye to All That - is also pretty great.

If This is a Man by Primo Levi - a hugely talented writer who was interned in Auschwitz

Young Stalin by Simon Sebag Montefiore - Stalin growing up as a street thug and political gangsta

both good reads, both a big deal re the 20th century.

my nominations are in but Dragon's Crown should really get a mention, a dope score that adds a lot to the game.

this fits in with their notions of a kinect / tv family audience, don't alienate the moms!

Jack Tretton should hold a press conference and go... "Fuck that shit." *applause and cheering* "You can say whatever the motherfuck you want on psn" *whooping and applause*

is Metro a serious contender? I don't care about spoilers but i was thinking of giving it a go, might do it now if it's gonna be topical.

if you're tired of FPS's it's worth noting that Tomb Raider is particularly good when it comes to 3rd person controls and animations. also, the environment provided for you to interact with, is really detailed, and stunning.

just wrapped up a legendary famine run of Halo 4, because after a frustrating week with xcom i wanted to hit some targets for a change.

might go back to Dragon's Crown next, because it's been long enough of a break that I could probably handle some more in-depth inventory management.

i don't understand the criteria here. you've characters listed that don't have any characterization. on what basis should they be judged - how they look?

Halo 3 ODST

GTA V

Oblivion
