Gone Home Is Pedestrian

 Video games are great aren't they? You put the cartridge/CD/DVD/download from steam and boot up your game-playing machine and while away as much time as you like shooting baddies/slaloming/pointing and clicking your woes to oblivion. There's some people who think this isn't enough, though. They think games approached in an unorthodox way could give users a completely new experience. They feel that this new experience would provide something different from film, books or television. Gone Home has been lauded by some as this new kind of game.

Superman Review: Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

Is it safe to come out yet? Phew, that was a bit touch and go there for a while, wasn’t it? Yes, the release of Man of Steel was not the event that we all expected to be it. Not in the real world, of course, where it grossed in excesses of $500 million and was received quite well by reviewers and critics. But, on the Internet, things are different. There, you can have more money than God and it won’t matter a bit if you’ve changed the source material. People were, therefore, very mad. However, considering that the storm surrounding the film seems to have just about died down, it seems as good a time as any to talk about Man of Steel. Was it really all as bad as great swathes of the Internet claimed? Or was it actually a good film?

Re: My Man of Steel Article (24.4.13)

In answer to my first Man of Steel article: does this new film feel like a Superman film?

Yes.

So, on that count, it’s a roaring success. Hooray! Just a shame that the film didn't match up in so many other ways. Oh, well, there’s always Man of Steel 2, right?
