Cocker

I got to hear a clip from every track on the new Oasis album yesterday. Sounds very interesting indeed. Not one tune really sounds like a single or radio friendly as far as I can tell - and thats not a bad thing. Cant wait to get the full version.

The review is in....click

I read in the paper that in the new Bond movie he is going to swap his dry martini shaken not stirred for a coke zero after a 5m sponsor from coke. If this is true (remember, it was only read in a sunday paper) it really would be very sad to see them sell out bond in such a way. Having said that I would be impressed if he got to the bar and asked for a pint of bitter and a bag of nutts

(They did come back on by the way)

Boy vs Bus

Played the 'Pure' Demo today. Its a bit like Motorstorm but you can do tricks and you can only use quad bikes. The demo was fun but will wait for Motorstorm 2 I think.

I have played through the demo a couple of times now and I am not impressed. 'The Force' power doesn't feel right. Half the time you throw something and it doesn't go where you want (someone will say it must be me now). The lightsaber doesn't feel like I am wielding a lightsaber and the euphoria engine (the bit the splinters wood/smashes glass into a million pieces) just feels tacked on. Over rated on the hype machine me thinks. Till something better comes I will carry on playing god of war for this type of game.

So thats how you beat Eddie Gordo then

I really enjoyed Batman. The last couple of superhero films I have seen have been poor (Spidy 3 and Xmen the last stand) Some things did nark me (I am sure mentioning these things wont spoil the film for anyone) Whats with his voice? Bruce Wayne talks normal. He puts on the Batman suit and you would think he has smoked 60 fags a day for 40 years. I get the thing about him masking his voice but why does he mask it in front of those that know he is Bruce Wayne? He is a normal bloke - no superpowers. At the start, how the hell does he bend a gun? And a very petty one. (And do not highlight this if you haven't seen the film and it could spoil it) Other than that I walked out feeling that I really got my moneys worth and haven't done that in a while.

For those with either a 360 or PS3 you can download the Star Wars Force Unleashed Demo today. I haven't had chance to play it yet but early reports are that what looked a very promising game with a good story could be spoilt by a very dodgy camera. Will hopefully get chance to have a bash tomorrow.

Yes I am. For anyone who has been to the Palace cinema over here (very few if any I can bet) there isnt much leg room no matter where you sit so it dosent really matter. Wasnt given any choice but on my way in in half an hour so will see then. See above for the comfy seat reply but yep hopefully if its as good as the last one I will like it.

Bit the bullet and got tickets for tonight. Probably not going to get home until 1AM. It better be worth it is all I can say.

A bunch of great trailers have gone up on Gametrailers (Fifa/Resi5/Killzone2). I dont have time to post all the links but you can see them here.

New Tomb Raider - click

Have been granted a pass by the Mrs to go and watch it this week however, on checking it is on for the last week now and the screening is 10pm each day - may have to wait for the DVD now

I just wonder what would happen to Ped? Maybe he would go out on the right? Many would say that Ped isnt the same player as when we first got him but in pre season he is looking up for it again (from what I have been reading anyway) so I wouldnt want to drop him to the bench.

Some more details on Little Big Planet for those interested - click

The picture is of Harley Quinn

Why do you say its draining (without giving anything away )

I loved the Lost Boys but never even knew they made a second one. What year is it from anyway?

I always thought that until I saw him on that 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' on which I thought he came across ok (I better than I thought he would at least)

Fair play. I only half caught a story the other day about the Sex Pistols minder beating up the lad from the Bloc Party - does anyone know what all that was about?

Yes I know. I already corrected myself after the Stone Roses comment

Ah yes so my argument about the two album thing is blown away The mags that compare The Stone Roses and The Libertines in the same bracket are stupid.

I agree. I never take to much interest of the 'TOP 100 BANDS EVER' polls that the magasines always run when they have nothing to fill pages but I am always amazed that the Libertines are always high up in them with quotes like 'one of the most important bands ever' next to their picture - hang on, didnt they have something like 2 albums? Pathetic
