So after DCC13 there seemed to be some article that didn’t show the con in the best of ways and started to twist the perspective of some of the attendees and made them seem like freaks and social weirdos, here’s what I had to say about this matter. (more…)
So Arcade Con 2013 has officially finished and there is a combined sigh of despair from thousands of anime,gaming,sci fi and comic fans around the country with the thought of having to wait another year to feel the atmosphere of this amazing convention.
Now I should point out that this is all my own views and it may differ from others, mainly due to the fact that before this I was a “Con Virgin” and had never been to one before, so this was all an unbiased look at the world of comics, cosplay and anime.
It was only a matter of time before Spartacus got it’s own game and to be honest it would have been good. Think of it, it would be one of the goriest gladiator games to ever grace the home console. But Spartacus Legends is far from legendary. (more…)
Get mission, walk, kill zombie, realise you can’t carry more supplies and repeat. This is the general principle behind State of Decay it seems. Now don’t get me wrong we here at Akroview love zombies and the undead, sure our editor (ME!) is part of a zombie hunting group in Ireland, but I wasn’t all that impressed with State of Decay as most others seem to be.

Remember the crazy over the top motorcycle racing game that allowed you to bash the brains out of your competitiors with chains and bats, you know the one i mean, of course its Road Rash!! Well this game saw a untimely end and let a generation of punk racers deprived of there motorcycle mayhem, but thanks to DarkSeas Games we now will have a revamped, redubbed, ridiculous new look on the Road Rash title with Road Redemption.

We all love a bit of Retro gaming, but is it just me or are some of these classic games much more expensive than some newer titles?! I guess That’s because of their rarity and collectors values. But it seems as though Nintendo wants us to relive the old days at a low cost by releasing Super Metroid on the Wii U store for just 30p! (more…)
Man has always been interested in the progress of technology, and since the very first Stone Age man inventing the wheel we have always tried to do one better than the guy before. But doing one better than the guy before takes time, patience, and some intelligence to get the job done, it can also take time and the lack of tools to get it done right. But that didn’t stop film makers turning into modern day Nostradamus’ and showcasing “futuristic” technologies that were based hundreds, sometimes thousands of years into the future, but have actually been popping up conventions over the years!
Most films that come to mind when I think of futuristic themes with gadgets tha have been popping up in the recent future would be the likes of Total Recall and Demolition Man, but there have also been little hints of things to come in modern day films such as James Bond. The exclusive gadgets that bond was offered throughout his entire movie lifespan always seemed so high tech and out of this world, but it has only been announced that one of his most famous gadgets can now be yours to own!
