Aardman animations.
Football. (or, as our American cousins call it, soccer).
Two quintessentially British things.
This is the first non-Wallace and Gromit Aardman claymation film since 'Chicken Run' (from the year 2000, I think), introducing a whole host of new characters and setting: prehistory, with a Stone Age tribe merrily doing their own thing hunting that most dangerous and elusive of all creatures (rabbits) in their valley, until they are forced out of the valley by their most sophisticated bronze age neighbours.
To get their own land back, they challenge said neighbours to a game of footie, despite not knowing how to play the game ...
Like I said at the top, quintessentially British.

Ever wanted to created freakish monstrosities of bears to defeat an army of mutant babies then this games for you! A fun little game that you can pick up and play, it's quick to learn so fine to play with people who haven't played it before. If you like The Oatmeal comics you'll love the artwork very childish but funny and it comes in a furry box so what more could you want!

Great classic jrpg
Top down jrpg made by Camelot and Nintendo for the Nintendo game boy, a well crafted story separated into two games. In the first you play as Isaac a venue adapt from the town of vale located at the foot of mt aleph. Game play for the first half hour to an hour depending on how you play can be seen as slow but helps set up the story of some key characters, some of which don't get payoffs until the events of the second game, a well thought out and crafted story with plenty to do including collecting all 28 elemental djiin which have the ability to change your magic in battle and on the overworld. Experience some top quality puzzles and fight some interesting monsters, accompanied by a high quality sound track made by motoi sakuraba more well known for his musical work on dark souls and the tales series of games.
This game pushes the limits of the game boy advance along with its sequel the lost age which as the way the story is paced and set up you need to play the second to get the full story

Fun game play
Great characters
Special moves
Plot
Fatalities
Bad SNES version (2 more)
Small roster
Hard controls
Get over here!
This is one of my all time favourite games and actually had a lasting impact on the gaming world as we know it, thanks to fatalities and the introduction of the age ratings.
As a kid what's not to love about this very unique fighting game, controlling what looks like real people, finding the elusive special moves and finally inputting the secret code to humiliate your opponent with a devastating fatality.

A great ball of cheese
I love musicals as much as the next man,this isn't a great musical but it is a good film,stellar performances by all the main cast good toe tapping songs if maybe a little disneyesque in parts ,it maybe let down in small parts by Hugh jackman trying to play a younger P.T. Barnam as a much younger man than jackman's age it felt weird jackman asking his girlfriend's father "can I marry your daughter" but all-in-all it's a good film

Fun game mechanics reminds me of monopoly (2 more)
Lots of different strategies
2 parts for the game can turn suddernly
I guess it is a game I had to play
This was a fun Game, which lasts a couple of hours. It requires a lot of planning to build your industry and to plan for the age of rail which is the latter part of the game. There is a lot to do in the game and i found it to be quite a heavy strategy game for the group of people I was with

Cute concept
This was a cute concept and has such potential to be a good story. I really do enjoy age play and the Daddy/little dynamic. What would have increased the rating for me, though, was if the book was expanded to add in more details and more of the Daddy/little interaction.
I would have also liked to see the interaction between the two littles of the story as well as more on how the lives of both Daddy and little progress. The other thing I would definitely suggest to the author is a good editor, or at least a decent beta reader and/or proofreader.

Lou Grande (148 KP) rated the PC version of Emily Is Away Too in Video Games
Jul 9, 2018
For people of a certain age, Emily Is Away Too will remind them of being a teenager in the early aughts and late nineties. You play as yourself (more or less) as you attempt to woo either of two girls at your high school: Emily, the alternative hipster chick, or Evelyn, the punk rocker. In that way, it's much like many dating sims. You discover their likes and dislikes and play into them.
What makes Emily Is Away unique is the gameplay. It all takes place, so to speak, in a chat client called "EOL," which functions like AIM or Yahoo! Messenger. You can customize your font, profile, and avatar (the angstier the lyrics in your bio the better, of course). And don't forget to make your text as obnoxious as possible.
To compliment the retro look, the soundtrack consists of the sound of your hard drive working and really authentic chat notifications. It was a trip back in time for me, and it actually made me a little sad in a bittersweet way.
