Geek, Cultured

Hey guys! In an effort to bring Geek, Cultured forward some more I’ve added a Youtube channel and have plenty of video to roll out over the next few weeks! Although, right now, I am only working through Half Life 2 in my feature “Play Throughs I Forgot to Play Through” I will be adding [...]

I’ve always been fascinated by the evolution of horror films and when looking back there is perhaps none that stand out more, for me personally, than Alien, Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic that shaped a generation of films that would follow in its footsteps. The film has been recognised in the following decades for what it provided [...]

Sometimes, no matter how much I hear about something, I don’t check it out. Whether it’s me being belligerent or busy – Maybe both – but things ineviteably get swept under the carpet. These shows are often sold as something and put on a plate but something puts me off or steers me clear. In [...]

Everyone is talking about the Kindle Firetoday and while I’m very interested in getting one, I didn’t want to hard on about the same thing as all other tech sites out there.

I consider myself a comic book fan. I’m not one of those guys who visits a store every Wednesday (Or Tuesday, in my local store) and picks up a handful of trades a week but I do have an unhealthy amount of hardback collections from my favourite stories. This is the way I prefer to [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of TV. That has been a fact since my Grandad sat me down at a young at in front of his small colour television on a weekly basis and introduced me to the world of Star Trek. That being one of my earliest memories you can imagine where [...]

The Game Developers Conference commence and, just as swiftly, came to a close this past week. I wasn’t there, no, but I watched the internet as new information poured out after all the talks and hands-on tests of the newest – and greatest – video games. Videos and news stories have continued to flood gaming [...]
