Hey, let's take a look at the Avengers cartoon that no-one's ever heard of!
What's that? You've never heard of it?
...well, I kinda walked into that one, didn't I.
Madisun's Arc - 11 - Universal Squadrons
Sadly, has nothing to do with anything universal. No squadrons either, for that matter. I call false advertising!
Madisun's Arc - 10 - SiN: The Movie
I take a look at the animated film, as well as the video game it's based on. That makes this sort of two reviews in one, which would explain why it took so long to put together. Or maybe that's just my extreme laziness. Who knows?
Madisun's Arc - Punisher: War Zone
This should not have taken as long as it did. But on the plus side, a last-minute chat with someone meant I got to include a bit about the comic character, so it kind of worked out in the end. Kinda.
Madisun's Arc - Drake of the 99 Dragons
Oh, I've only gone and done it again. See what happens when you leave me alone for a week?
Lego Doctor Who - The Classic and New Blocks (Updated)
Figured this post (originally from early 2010) could do with an update to include Matt Smith's current run.
Coming soon! Lego Doctor Who: The New Blocks! Chronicling the new series, from Rose to the End of Time and beyond! Thrill as you play through the very best of Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith's adventures through time and space! Tremble as you fight the Daleks, Cybermen, Juddoon, Sontarans and the diabolical Master! Laugh as the once treasured stories are rendered in lovable bricks and quirky cutscenes!
And let's not forget the classic adventures! Lego Doctor Who: The Classic Blocks, Volumes I, II and III! Marvel as William Hartnell swaps heads with Patrick Troughton! Shiver as the Master first appears! Puzzle over how Tom Baker manages to avoid tripping on his scarf! Laugh at Colin Baker's terrible dress sense! Gasp as Paul McGann gets more then one adventure!
In stores soon, provided the BBC has even a shred of sense and lets Traveller's Tales actually make it!

Madisun's Arc - Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach
Another day, another DVD. Or rather, two DVDs, since there's two shows in one this time round. Don't worry, I explain it all. Not very well, but what did you expect from me?
Madisun's Arc - Free Jimmy
So, I was originally going to do a TV show for my next review. Problem was, for some reason I couldn't rip the videos from the DVD, and as a result I'm having to *COUGH*download*COUGH* the show.
But it's taking AGES. So in its place, I give you a crappy CGI film with David Tennant and Woody Harrelson.

Me @ the Doctor Who Experience
Ever been to the Doctor Who Experience? I have! Let me tells you about it.
Madisun's Arc - Daikatana
As you may be able to tell from the image (which I actually chose this time round - progress!), this review is of Daikatana, one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history. But once you cut past the myth surrounding it, how does it actually hold up?
...well, it's not good, per se...
This one took me ages to do.I had to capture all the footage for the game (I'd estimate 20 hours), and that left me with over 200 Gigs of video footage. Ugh.
Then I had to sort through and get all the clips I needed. This was an absolute chore because of the process I used. I loaded the chunks of footage into Windows Movie Maker (which would take 5 minutes for each chunk), then I would grab the bit of footage I needed (usually only around 30 seconds or so) and then convert that (which would take another couple of minutes). Then I had to import THAT into VideoPad (yet another 5 minutes) and then finally place it into the actual review.
And I had to do that for Each. And. Every. Clip.
Bear that in mind when watching this review and you'll see why it took me a week and a half.
I think I've been scared away from video games for a while! Not that it matters, I've plenty of other stuff to review that isn't a game. Still, hell of a learning curve!
