Inversion wasn't a bad game but the boss battles were some of the most annoying I've played in a long time. Didn't help that you had to fight most bosses more then once. :(

100 Degrees Below Zero wasn't a brilliant film but it wasn't horrid either. It had it's moments and the main character was one of the most clumsy I've even seen as he was forever falling over for some reason or another. 2 out of 4 stars.

Have been wanting to see The Bay since I saw the trailer and I'm happy to say i wasn't disapointed at all. An excellent and creepy film in which the mockumentry style really worked. 3.5 out of 4 stars.

Season 7 of Bones wasn't a bad season but I could have really done without all the baby stuff.Really not likling the bad guy as he seems way to gidlike for my liking so I'm hoping he'll be brought down next season.

John Dies At The End by David Wong was an ok book but it was neither as creepy or as scary as I'd been lead to belive. Still it was a fun read and the humour was rather amushing throughout. 3 out of 4 stars.

Have to agree with the villian of Psycho Pass on his view of books vs e-books. It's a completly different experance reading an actual book and manuelly turning the pages and holding the weight of it in your hands. Where as an e-book doesn't really feel like a real book at all sure they are easier but it really isn't the same at all
