The Crash Reel Documentary that follows the story of Kevin Pierce, a Snowboarder who suffers a life threatening injury in the run up to the Vancouver Olympics. It charts his rise in the sport, and the aftermath of the accident that nearly took his life. It also touches on his rivalry with friend Shaun White, as well as other tragic accidents from the world of extreme sports. Inspiring, touching, beautifully shot. It might be one of my top films of the year. I went in expecting a documetary about cool snowboarders, I left having watched something that truly left a mark.

Cook, Serve, Delicious. Picked it up during the Steam sale and its been a total surprise to me. I believe I heard it mentioned on GiantBomb at some point, but that aside I'd never heard of it. I've put a little over two hours in so far, and I'm very much enjoying it, and I'm considering picking up the iPad version.

I love deciding between things I love! GAMEOFTEHYEAR Metro Last Light Well if you're going to make me pick a favourite, i guess this is it. It builds upon the good aspects of 2033, the atmospheric,claustrophobic nature of underground Moscow, the fantastic visuals and interesting game play mechanics, and improves what the original got wrong. Tense, thrilling and different enough to stand out from the crowd, its my favourite game of the year. 1st Runner Up Tearaway This was an absolute joy to play. The art style and aesthetic are beautifully realised, the story is sweet and surprisingly touching at times, and whilst the 'Platforming' is a little basic, it more than makes up for it by introducing new and interesting ways to interact with the world inside the game. Joint 1st Runner Up Gunpoint I didn't spend too much time with this game, but I can confidently say its one of my more memorable games of the year. The little time i did spend (i completed it btw) with the game was pretty much perfect. I just wish it was longer..

There's a lot to be found in the viral campaign for the movie. A whole lot of unsanswered questions aparently popped up in it. Kinda like that whole Cloverfield thing. :\ -- Prisoners. I get a lot of flack for loving this movie, but as a fan of flicks like this (esp. Zodiac), I found myself completely drawn in and not let go until the credits had finished rolling. Deakins is a god among cinematographers. Didn't Prisoners get received pretty well? I know I certainly plan on watching.

Avengers aside, I'd probably have Thor 2 as my favourite Marvel movie. That being said, I struggle to rate the series above a 'yeah it was okay' sort of grade.

You aren't alone. Despite owning a copy of 360, I've never actually played this.

I'd like to say a super-giant thank you to Thursday Next, who has blown me away with his generosity. I received copies of ... AND!! (when it is released). To say i'm grateful would be an understatement. I'm absolutely amazed by this. Thanks again buddy.

Yeah..that wasn't me that gifted that to you. I did gift something to my target already though...I've PM'd you. CONTROVERSY!!!!

You've got my respect. I really enjoyed my time with the game, but when i finally beat the end game boss, i was happy to call it quits. I just didn't enjoy the combat enough to warrant a second play-through, and some battles flat out left me fuming. It's not that i don't enjoy a difficult game, but at times i felt like the bad guy's had an unfair advantage for the sake of having an unfair advantage (namely the dimension switching stuff). That being said, i can see why you'd want to go through again. The stuff it does well, it does really well. I love the PS3/Vita save transfer/cross-buy too.

I think i'm in the same boat. 80% of my gaming is done on the PC, with the Wii U, 3DS and Vita picking up the slack. Most of the games that are available on PS3/4 are available on my preferred platform (PC); yet i can't shake this feeling of wanting the new shiny thing in the PS4. Killzone might be fun to play with my brother and work friend, but aside from that i'm not sure there's anything that interests me for a good while. The Witness is a ps4 exclusive right? Or is that a timed-exclusive?

The Hunt. Mads Mikkelsen plays a teacher (?) who's falsly accused of exposing himself, and abusing the children under his care. The film isn't afraid of its troubling subject matter, and whilst i did find certain aspects of the film a little infuriating (the way the other adults handled the accusation for a start), the plot is gripping and does a great job of showing just how much damage one lie can cause. Mikkelsen is superb, the writing is fantastic and (as-per) for a film set in this location, it looks great. One of my favourites of 2013 no doubt.

£3 on amazon. Why not?

I just couldn't get into Dust. I think it was the art style, it looked nice..i guess? I found the combat quite boring too, that might be less of the games fault and more of my preference though. Gone Home is great though. My first Vita game (and first experience of Uncharted), and i enjoyed it no end. I think i completed it in 2-3 sessions and whilst the bullet sponging is a little annoying at times, i couldn't put it down after half way. Wouldn't say no to another Vita title in this series, maybe with less touch screen though.

Steam - £5 I'm desperate for something to play.

I was going to pre-order there and then, until i saw this.

Doesn't make the team's name sound any less ridiculous.

Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: SteamID // Steam Wishlist // UK Background: Currently an off-cream paint, although that depends on where I'm sitting. General criteria: Single player is key for me. I rarely play multiplayer, and when I do it's not on PC. I'm also not a massive fan of games that, that being said, if its on my Steam Wishlist, I'll be happy. What are your favorite genres? RPG, Platformers (no endless runners), although in all honesty, I'm open to anything. What are your favorite games? The Witcher 2, Gunpoint, KoToR Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? I've got a few things on iTunes that I'd like to play, but I'd prefer a Steam gift in all honesty.

I kind of think it'd sound better without the City at the end. It's just too much name atm. Like AFC Blackburn Rovers or Manchester City Athletic.

Spelunky - picked it up on the Vita. I can see why someone would like it, but for me it's just not grabbing me. Not sure what it is, but I think it would probably have been a better investment on PC. I simply don't have the friends list for a game like this to really shine on PLaystation. I guess that's not really the games fault though. Gun Commando - a free PS Mobile FPS with an old school sensibility about it. It's free and it plays well enough. I can see myself getting bored at some point, but for now it's giving me my fix of retro FPS Action.

I don't see these getting a Region 2 Blu Ray release any time soon, so i've splashed £8 for a pre-owned version of them both on DVD. Can't wait to watch them.

I'm in.
