A caveat here first, explaining why my thoughts on this are probably irrelevant, and then some thoughts on this. Caveat: I don't think I've ever truly loved Mario Kart since one magical evening at university in which a bunch of us played Mario Kart 64, then newly released, on split-screen all night long and into the morning. I loved that game so much - each moment was such a hectic joy. And it used me up a bit. I haven't really been able to engage with the series with quite the same thrill since. Read more
For years, the rule in Hollywood was pretty simple: familiarity but with a twist. Cheers, but it's in a coffee shop, and everyone's in their twenties. Lost, but it's in LA with Joseph Fiennes.

There's a strong and immediate sense of Elder Scrolls to Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. In so many ways it feels like the exact same experience. First-person: check. Fantasy: check. Begins in a prison cell: check. Skills increase as you use them: check. Stealth works the same (even the icon is identical), combat and dialogue feel familiar. This is a copy of Elder Scrolls barely concealed. Read more
