I'm about 6-7 hours into Super Mario 3D World, and I think its about to get somewhat more difficult. I've just entered the Bowser world, everything looks like a fiery pit of death. There was me thinking I'd off'd the son of a bitch too. Also playing a little Don't Starve. Died a few times so far; namely because I tend to underestimate how deadly a swarm of spiders can be, but I'm enjoying myself. I just wish i could play it at fullscreen without wanting to rip my eyes out.

Berberian Sound Studio What did I just watch? There's an interesting film here somewhere, but it ends up coming out a complete mess, which is a shame as the cast is great.

So how does everyone feel about Tearaway? I adored it from start to finish. I had a few niggles with playing in a dark room (the Vita's camera doesn't like anything that's not bright sunlight), but aside from that i thought it was well worth the wait. Without a doubt one of my favourite games of the year, and a game i don't think could be played on any other console.

Tearaway I've been waiting for this game since its unveiling a few years (?) ago; and it didn't disappoint. The world of Iota (main character) pops at every turn, and like all Media Molecule games, it's got dump trucks full of charm and a very sweet, heart warming message at its heart. It uses the Vita's many features in new and interesting ways, and none of them feel unnecessary. I wasn't expecting the ending to touch me on the level that it did, and for that MM deserve all the praise in the world. If you've got a VIta, you should own a copy of this game. It's the perfect game for the console, and the only console that could pull this game off.

Buried. It's a tense thriller which see's Ryan Reynolds give the best performance of his career. Reynolds is Buried in a box somewhere in Iraq. The film tells the story of him attempting to get out of the box..its fairly simply really, but really insanely gripping. I watched it on Netflix, and was on the edge of my seat for the entire run of the film. If you've got 2 hours to kill, this is a great way to do it.

Got a code for Don't Starve on Steam if anyone's interested? Drop me a PM and i'll send the code over.

I'm a little worried 55 minutes isn't going to be enough to wrap this story up.

I've been trying to rekindle my love affair with the F1 series, however I've just admitted defeat. I seem to be stuck in a weird place between wanting to enjoy my time with it, and wanting the game to be difficult enough that i don't feel like I'm taking my shitty car to the world title. Unfortunately, i seem to be in between 'hard' and 'medium' AI settings. One is too easy, and the other is too tough. I guess we'll chalk 2012 up as an off year for me.

I always think the Marvel films a little lacking for me. There's no danger, no real suspense. I guess thats what they're going for though. My top 5 though; in no specific order The Avengers Iron Man Thor

Seriously, I caught up for this shit!? I feel the same way. Blitzed through season 3-5 inside 6 weeks, only to be continuously fucked over by this annoying week long gap between episodes.

I've done 4 films today; The Impostor - Rather interested documentary that mixes up well produced live action, interviews with relevant characters and archive footage. All in all, i was a little disappointed, but it's still a pretty good film. Certainly worth a watch. IP Man - Again, slightly disappointed in this one. It had been built up to me over the last few weeks, and it never quite hit the high's i was expecting. The action was great, but i just wasn't interested in the story. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Jack Nicholson at his sublime best. Engrossing from start to finish. I can't believe i waited 25 years to watch this. Sound of my Voice - My favourite film of the day. Brit Marling was absolutely astonishing. The film itself had me captivated from start to finish. I've given out maybe eight, 5 star ratings in the last 4 years, and i think this might just make it 9.

Got it on the Wii U myself, despite it being cheaper on PS3, Vita and PC. I believe its sold more copies on Wii U than any other system (UK). Most of the reviews i've read have said that, if you own a Wii U, play it on that.

Doesn't the Vita version have some levels that the other versions don't have? That's what i heard at least.

Had to be done. I was going to wait for a price drop, but i've been wanting to play it since February. So yeah, thanks Ubisoft.

Apparently Google might have tipped their hat to the new Nexus phone in their KitKat announcement video. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ywwdTc8gr2Y/UiZlPOP-H5I/AAAAAAAAGjg/RsMQRyF3woc/w506-h281/Nexus+5+Android+4.4+KitKat+video.png

I've got codes for Europa Universallis 3 Complete Warlock: Master of the Arcane Leviathan: Warships Dungeonland Crusader Kings 2 Drop me a PM if you're interested. All are Steam codes.

Humble Weekly Bundle Gonna have some codes to Europa, Warlock, Leviathon, Dungeon Land and Crusader Kings 2. Drop me a line if interested.

Picked up Stealth Inc yesterday, courtesy of PS+. Seems like it could be a pretty fun game, i'm just not sure the Vita is the platform for it. I still can't get over how beautiful Killzone looks on the thing. Granted its not the fastest shooter in the world, but it looks insane and plays pretty well too. It doesn't hurt that i'm pretty good at it either.

Frankenweenie. There's a charming little film in here somewhere. Unforately, the film decides it needs to pad its runtime, and so we get a somewhat boring 81 minute caper with a side plot that frankly, i didn't care about. That being said, the Sparky/Boy stuff was touching and well put together. And the film is a technical marvel, with some very nice voice acting. I'll give this film a second chance at some point, but it's left me a little underwhelmed. Man i wish this film was 45 minutes long. 2/5

Because this might be my favourite FPS of the generation. *favourite, not best.

Don't wanna sound preachy, but if you're going to see one film in the theatre, make it this one. And i would avoid a shitty pirate copy like the plague, this film needs to be enjoyed on the big screen for it to be fully appreciated.

Dunno, from what i've seen of the promo material, it doesn't look like the sort of show Sky would bid for. Of course, what do i know. Breaking Bad isn't even on UK TV.

Anyone taken a look at the Killzone Beta? It's currently available to all Ps+ subscribers, and its not half bad. Can't imagine you'll play it for longer than an hour though. I was getting some significant hand strain after 30 minutes. Gonna need one of those Vita Grips.

Doki Doki Universe looks like it might be interesting too. Call me crazy, but i may yet end up picking Rayman Legends up on the thing ahead of the Wii U/ PC Version. Origin's was outstanding on the Vita.
