Half-Life 2
Just finished Half-Life 2 (after about 18-20 hours spent over the last 5 days) on it. This — seeing my currently available spare time — is quite an achievement and shows the very high quality of the game. It is … Continue reading
Firefly
I finished watching the “Firefly” box-set, and it is so good it is hard to describe. I bought it (UK import) on recommendations and don’t regret a bit. It is too unfortunate that the show was cancelled (butchered) by Fox … Continue reading
(New) Battlestar Galactica
The first TV-episode of the new Battlestar Galactica has been aired and it manages to keep everything that was good in the pilot. It continues directly from the mini-series and manages to have a very oppressive feeling with the an … Continue reading

Halo (Xbox)
I finished Halo yesterday (in order to be up-to-date when the 2nd part comes out). I had given it a go when it came out on the PC, but that was just running painfully slowly and ended being not much … Continue reading
Phantom Dust
“Phantom Dust” is a game developed by Microsoft Game Studios Japan, and seems to flying under everyone’s radar, as MS has said it will only be published in Asia. It is developed by the guy who worked in “Panzer Dragoon … Continue reading

Tiger Woods 2005
I played this with Patrick for quite a bit yesterday. First off, shame on EA for not including Xbox Live functionality (which is in the US version). Other than that, it was surprisingly fun. A major factor in this was … Continue reading

Neal Stephenson – Quicksilver
After having given up on it (roundabout page 200), and then moving on to Reynolds’ “Revelation Space”, I returned to finally finish “Quicksilver”. In the end it was well worth it, but it took some getting there. It is a … Continue reading

Dan Simmons – Hyperion
Dan Simmons seems to switch between fantasy and SF, and “Hyperion” reminded me (from the background setting of where humanity is) of Ian M. Banks’ Culture. The book is told via seven personal stories which are all excellently written (when … Continue reading
Alastair Reynolds – Revelation Space
“Revelation Space” is Reynolds’ first book, a hard science-fiction space opera somewhat similar to Vernor Vinge’s novels. I am not going to spoil it, so if you like Vinge’s work, read it. In my opinion it is not quite as … Continue reading

Samurai Champloo
I decided that I had to start one of the new anime series eventually, and thus watched the first five episodes of “Samurai Champloo”. It seems good fun, is rather bloody and foremost stylish. But that is also one of … Continue reading

King Arthur
I watched “King Arthur” yesterday, and actually quite liked it. My background on the tale is near non-existent, which might’ve helped (or not). It’s got a nice sweeping score, and the general friendship among the knights came across well. I … Continue reading

Mario Golf and PSO III
Picked up “Mario Golf” and “Phantasy Star Online Episode III” for the Gamecube on Saturday. Haven’t played much (PSO III is way too expensive online compared to XBox-Live — so I doubt you’ll see me there), but both of the … Continue reading
