Let’s be honest, you were always going to buy Modern Warfare 2, regardless of what other people say. The original blew pretty much everyone on the planet away with an intense single player, and of course, an incredibly addictive online mode that no one can stop playing. Does 2 have any hope whatsoever of living up to the mammoth expectations laid upon it?

It can be hard to make a great comic book game, history proves that. The Spider-man games managed to capture the feel of web-slinging around New York, but other elements weren’t as polished, and Superman’s history with the medium has been pretty rocky. Forget all that though, because here comes everybody’s favourite caped crusader with his latest title. Last year Batman rocked the cinema with The Dark Knight, can he do the same to the video game world?
You get a …

This frantic, fast-paced prequel to last year’s Dead Space has traded in the original’s third-person view for a first-person on-rails shooter similar to House of the Dead and Time Crisis. Set in the distant future on a barren planet, a human colony prepares to “crack” the land for vital resources when a strange artefact is discovered. As a team of engineers attempts to move this object, most of the colony suddenly turns insane, eventually into vicious monsters called Necromorphs that …

It might be just after you take down a helicopter, or after scrambling up a train that’s literally dangling from the edge of a cliff that you realise Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is something truly special. Nathan Drake returns in this stunning sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Fans of the original game will remember it for many reasons; it played just like watching an Indiana Jones film, with thrilling 3rd person gunfights separated by platforming that …

Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is not starring in this sequence, Terminator Salvation is more than worth watching. The film presents the dark future of year 2018 that Kyle Reese was talking about in Terminator (1984). It tracks out the events leading to the first movie and reveals a lot of unknown facts from previous sequences.
John Conner (Christian Bail) has been the leader of the human resistance for years and although everybody is convinced in the prophecy that he will win the war against Skynet the chances for success are not …

If you’ve ever had a chat with our Vice President (Media & Services) Kal Sajad then mention of his appearance on cult TV show Supermarket Sweep will no doubt have crept into the conversation, and for those of you who don’t have the time to watch the whole episode, the one Kal has on standby on his Mac, you can watch a clip here.

Dr. Moira Helm, Joint Project Director for Augustine House, tells us what students can expect from the new building:
Augustine house certainly has a wow factor, which will be visible from the moment you step foot in the building. I think the biggest change students will experience from the new library at Augustine House will be the calm environment where they can use mobiles, talk to each other and relax.
Here at Christ Church we also recognise that times are changing and that a lot of students work and live in a …

When I was at school I couldn’t get enough of the Prodigy and it was the summer before I started 6th form that The Fat of the Land was released (1997). I already owned Music for the Jilted Generation (1994), the previous album, and then I bought Experience (1991), their first album, which I missed out on as I still in junior school and maybe a little young for rave.
All great albums with some killer tunes on, and although there have been some albums after them I guess I class …
