Soldner Secret Wars is out. As there have been virtually no new games recently I decided to give it a spin. Big mistake. I haven’t seen something as pathetic since Derek Smart released his last game. And that says quite a lot, doesn’t it.

Before leaving Japan for a 12-day European tour, Crown Prince Naruhito made an unusual public outburst, telling reporters, essentially, that his Harvard-educated wife was a prisoner of the palace. Princess Masako, once an outgoing diplomat, had been reduced to a depressed recluse by […]
I forgot all about it in the hype surrounding Fahrenheit 9/11. But among the less talked about movies that were screened and up for competition was GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE.
In addition to Shrek 2 that screened early in the Festival, the second animated feature in competition is presented today, Innocence by Mamoru Oshii. […]
