  1. 71 was a good thriller, great action and holds your attention. A British soldier becomes separated from his unit in northern Ireland at the height of the troubles.

    Got that one lined up to watch, got good reviews so looking forward to it.

    Fury, brad Pitt world war two tank epic as they go behind enemy lines trying to push back desperate German rearguard. Wasn't expecting the awesome ending which was pure win.

    Really? I loved the film until the ending. All the gritty realism they wanted destroyed in the last 20 minutes by a pure guff Hollywood ending. It's great to see the Tiger which is housed at Bovington Tank Museum (fantastic museum btw) get a proper run out.

    Off now to find "The Guest" after the mentions on here.

    and I've got Interstellar also lined up as it is the last one in the IMDB top 50 I need to watch. Not looking forward to that after the comments above.

  2. I watched the "new" Robocop last night and actually really enjoyed it. Thought there was no chance I'd like it after the adverts and the fact I love the original but this was very well done and not a bad story. The only bit I have issues with is why he would suddenly go after the owner of omcicorp, it really didn't have the feeling of him being a bid bad like Dick Jones in the original.

  3. Am I the only one that though Star Trek Into Darkness was a bit rubbish?

    Finally got round to watching it the other night and it was completely predictable (certainly the ending) and all the "nods" to The Wrath of Khan just made me wish they could have had their own ideas for a story line. And why did we need "old Spock"? ...again!

    Also watched The Purge and really quite enjoyed it. Not the best acting in the world and again, completely predictable ending but the story was good and quite tense.

  4. Sim City has annoyed the **** out of me.

    I had a perfectly functioning city, making money everything stable and suddenly their's too much sewage, crime and no clear water. The water table is f'ing frustrating as it gets used and doesn't seem to replenish quickly enough.

    As you say, the city is too small so you can't fit everything into one which means you have to have multiple cities for certain things and then the ones you aren't managing just kind of stop and limp along. Why can' they function and gain money etc whilst you are working on others?

    grrrr. I hope some of the things they are proposing come to fruition.

  5. saw something a few days ago seems an odd business strategy from EA considering they have done badly with some very high profile games recently. Although perhaps MS have fluttered a lot of green their way.

    Got to say, I was interested to see the next generation of Kinect on the new xbox but they can royally stuff off if the increasing rumours of "permanent internet connection" required.

  6. Great deal (I think anyway) on Steam until 1st April for the Grand Theft Auto Complete
    Includes 7 items: Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

    Only £8.74

    Think I'll be having a bit of that, even though I've played most of them.

  7. LMAO, played for about 30 minutes and my computer died. just suddenly dead which is odd as our house electric normally trips the second someone farts oddly near a plug socket but that didn't blow. I had to leave it for a while and unplug it but it's back on now. I hate PC gaming! PSU should have been ok as its 550W Gigabyte Odin and I've only got 2 small hard drives and 1 dvd writer so I wouldn't have thought I'd have hit the max.

  8. Yeah, I've just gone through all the benchmarks and the best I get is an overall average of 16.15 on "Very Low" :) As you say though, visually there wasn't that much you would notice in game between the Ultra and Very Low settings.

    I only have a lowly GTX 520 as I stopped gaming on my PC a few years ago as everything just worked on PS3 and XBOX. I'm now getting a bit more back into it as the Kids have the TV 24/7 so was thinking of spending a little more on a semi decent card. Currently looking at the GTX660. Can't stretch to a TI unfortunately and the 670 is WAY out of my price bracket. Some places have mentioned the AMD 7870 (I think it was) as a rival to the 660 but there seems to be pro's and con's to both (plus I've always been a bit of an nvidia person)
