The Brutal Brilliance of Big Man Plans #3

4/6/2015

I have reviewed Issue 1 and 2 (click the links below to watch them) of Big Man plans and found the work by Eric Powell and Tim Wiesch to be brutal, crazy and over the top. In shorter terms I have loved this series.

The character of Big Man is brutal but you can understand why to a certain extent. In this issue however things do go a little bit deeper and we find out why he has a grudge with certain people.Suffice to say the encounters he has are explosive in a way that most will not expect.

On a side note I love anatomy it's part of my profession but even I winced at a few of the images contained within this book. So please be aware it is not for the faint hearted.

The story does take place in both the past and present and the flash back scenes tell us a great deal about Big Man's character and what he is prepared to put up with and where he draws the line.

The PWR list

PWR stands for Play, Watch, Read and if you look above you can see they are our three main sections on the site. Obviously with the wide scope of the site sometimes the things I am enjoying can be lost.

The reason for these articles is to highlight some of these in order to let you in some of the treasures I have been consuming.

There will be times I point you towards reviews on the site from other writers. I may agree with the assessment but also I may have different views which I will put forward here.

For now though look out for the PWR list

Gameplay on Deadpool table from Zen Pinball 2 / Pinball FX 2

27/6/2014

I'm a huge Pinball fan and Zen Studios are the masters at digitising the Silver ball.
This video is from their latest offering from the world of Marvel, it features Deadpool and to say it's a blast feels somewhat understated.

You can watch below but we also have a full review which you can see here

Random Chat; Can Tomb Raider; Definitive Edition, be the true HD remake we have been craving?

29/1/2014

Tomb Raider was my game of the year for 2013 (you can read why here).
Now my favourite game is having a full make over and the changes that are being implemented although mostly cosmetic sound amazing.

The Trailer below will give you all the details you need but for me one of the most impressive points concerns the yellow Walkie Talkie you can see on Lara's back in the picture to the right. In the first game things just appeared when you needed them as if by magic. Now we are seeing a more realistic take on a character model as well as their interactions with heir own equipment.

I hope this is the start of improvements by developers in this area as they strive for a more realistic form of storytelling.
