I watched 28 Years Later yesterday.

It was pretty good and then the ending happened and I've not been able to think about anything else in that movie. A complete tone shift that caught me off guard and pushed different kind of horror.

I've heard there is a sequel due next year sometime.

In a world dominated mostly by simulation racing games I would be delighted for a new Ridge Racer or even a classics collection

I've been trying to read a book called Neuromancer by William Gibson for a few months now but I'll read a few pages and my eyes just start rolling into the back of my head.

I'm bouncing off it really hard, I'm really not having fun with it.

I had something similar to this, I think mine was a Philips though.

I filled it with Daft Punk, Dream Theater and Carl Douglas's Kung Fu Fighting

Went back to Minecraft and spent 3 or 4 hours making a wool farm on one of my old worlds while I listened to spooky podcasts.

That's my spooky game quota fulfilled for October, Unless...

Anything over 60 minutes is kind of pushing it for me. It's entering the realms of movie length at that point.

Happy 25th birthday, Alien Resurrection! A game that clawed its way out of development hell three years after its planned release date. Released to mostly middling reviews, including its legacy: Gamespot's, who criticised it for what would soon become the standard: modern controller FPS controls.

A snap of Gamespots website with its review of Alien Resurrection and 4.7 score.

The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection. Add to the mix a few other head scratchers - such as how the triangle button controls item and health use - and you'll be wondering how Sony let this get by without requesting a few different control configuration options.

Beyond the control issues, Alien Resurrection is gruelingly hard. That is, it's hard to the point where you'll spend as much time reloading your save file as you will spend playing the game. The near-mythical PlayStation mouse peripheral is supposed to solve many of the game's control problems, but the 99.9 percent of PlayStation owners who've never even seen the device will find the game almost unplayably difficult to control and unreasonably hard to enjoy. It's a dramatic answer to a problem far more easily solved by adopting the control scheme from EA's Medal of Honor.
