Brilliant recreation of the awesome Adam Hughes picture. She makes a great looking Selina Kyle.
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is a complex love letter to original game
I’m a big fan of the Halo series, I can’t believe it has been 10 years since I first put on the mantle of Master Chief. The new visuals look fantastic as you might expect and this will give me a chance to Co-op it on Legendary with my soon-to-be wife Amy.
The first Halo plays very differently than the modern games, and that feel is kept in the Anniversary edition of the game. The magnum is a very powerful gun in the original release, and it was pointed out how good it’s going to feel to go back to that weapon to wipe out hordes of enemies. The backstory of Halo will be explored in a new way with the terminals, and the ability to play with the original graphics is another way of giving respect to the original release.

io9’s ideas for Terminator 5
Following news that Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided not to appear in the next Terminator movie io9 offers some ways of continuing the franchise without him.
I’m not convinced that there should even be another movie following the misstep that was Terminator Salvation, but if it is to be then the producers could do worse than consider some of the suggestions from io9.
I was very disappointed that the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled as I felt that it had expanded upon the ideas of the first two movies in a brilliant way. However I think it very unlikely that we’d get a movie to resolve the plot of the series.

LA Noire
Today is the UK release date for the much anticipated game LA Noire and following the review in The Guardian earlier this week it is one that is very much on my to buy list.
However I won’t be buying it yet not because of the reported problems of consoles overheating when playing the game but because it would distract me a hell of a lot from the studying I should be doing.
In the meantime I will have to experience it vicariously through players comments on Reddit’s The first few hours of LA Noire
Kyle Munkittrick explores what he sees as a core theme of virtually all of Pixar’s movies that non-humans should be accorded personhood.
