2nd August 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
You could say I had a misspent childhood; a childhood that consisted of reading Transformers comics, watching Transformers cartoons and, of course, playing with Transformers action figures. You could say I was a tad obsessed with the world of Autobots and Decepticons – and whilst admitting to a prepubescent love of the robots in disguise may seen slightly embarrassing now that I’m all grown up and wizened by the world,...

++Note, Susannah was absent initially and only entered the room towards the middle of the interview++
Tell me the story behind the documentary? How did you decide to put the show together?

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
25th June 2010 | 1 comments | 1 person likes this
A word of warning before we begin: In case you were expecting a computer generated Jake Gyllenhaal running around the screen, this game is NOT based upon the new Prince of Persia movie. In truth, bar the fact that it features the Persian Prince himself, this has barely anything to do with the big budgeted Hollywood blockbuster. What we have here is the latest instalment in the Prince of Persia...

Imagine all of your favourite action films rolled into one, and you will start to get close to the over the top carnage that is possible in this game. Wherever you go on the paradise island of Panau, you leave behind a trail of exploding buildings, crumbling towers and flaming car wrecks. You’re basically an insurance company’s worst nightmare.
The reason for all this destruction is because, as a soldier of... -
