Then Alex reviews Dreamworks first summer offering in the bug-eyed CGI animal movies sub-genre. Find out if it's as atrocious as Shark Tail and Madagascar. The core of the show is a long discussion (spoiler free) about Pixars latest masterpiece Wall-E.

Fri, 18 July 2008 E3 2008 SpecialTo celebrate the biggest gaming event of the year, the Cowboys have pulled in extra help in the form of Tony "Quantum" Edwards and managed a mammoth two and a half hour discussion on the past week's events. For the uninitiated, E3 is the big media and business summit held every year (except 2007) in L.A's immense convention center. It's the time when Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and every important software developer and publisher present their figures for the past year and projects for the next (except Activision/Blizzard this year but they coincidentally had an event of their own nearby). There are hundreds of games and applications to get through and some fascinating and sometimes cringe-inducing insights into the minds of these creators and money-men, but we manage to get through a sizable chunk of the important stuff and voice our unbiased, enthusiastic and frequently explosive opinions on many, many subjects. If you want to know what's coming for your console, here is the best place to start. Comments[0] |
Fri, 11 July 2008 Hancock/Game Boy Special.First up, Tony talks about the recent PlayStation 3 firmware update, which includes those long-sought-after trophies. Then the Cowboys review the new superhero film that's NOT based on a graphic novel for a change: Hancock. There's also an extra top ten from last week - top ten worst music-licensed video games and Alex briefly discusses the Blu-Ray of Commando. The bulk of the show, however is dedicated to the most significant handheld gaming system ever: the Nintendo Game Boy. In this focussed episode, we discuss everything about the GB from it's inception in 1989 up to the point where the DS was released (we're saving that for another special). So sit back and relax as the Cowboys perform yet another uncensored, unabashed and uncompromising dissection on a gaming legend and talk about why it's done quite so well. Comments[0] |
Fri, 4 July 2008 Guitar Hero: Aerosmith/Uncharted/Wanted/Prince Caspian.This week, the Cowboys take a look at the recent announcements for Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour. Find out about the new tracks and features here. While on the subject, the new Aerosmith themed Guitar Hero game is reviewed. Alex reviews Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for PS3 which he borrowed from Paul and asks: is being derivative all that bad? Tony and Paul review Wanted, the latest slick action movie that garnered an unusual (for this day and age) 18 certificate from the BBFC. Finally Alex and Tony discuss Prince Caspian at length, along with the delayed impact that the Narnia films have had on audiences as well as possible futures for the series. And stay tuned for a truly EARTH-SHATTERING rendition of Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria (whilst playing Rock Band! - Paul) from our very own PlexShaw. Comments[0] |
