Plus Stu squeezes in some quick reviews of Tommorrowland and Women in Gold and I blab about comics for a bit. In case you haven't picked it up, this is very much a 'watch' heavy episode.

THE SHORT VERSION I mentioned, back in my brief look at it in August last year , that Project CARS felt like the racing world's answer to Dark Souls . It was a solid and unforgiving racing simulator that rewarded patient players who could get a handle on complex controls and customisation options. This was the kind of game where you could tweak your tires to a T, where if you didn't know the ins and outs of your vehicle you were liable to veer out of control very quickly, and where, yes, you could indeed drive around Mt Panorama in a go-kart with rain incoming. Trust me, that last part is a lot more exciting (and awesome) than it sounds. That was just in the beta, mind. Small wonder, then, that the finished version is all that and more. In fact, I'd almost go so far as to say Project CARS might be the defining driving game experience one will come across. That's both a good and a bad thing. STORY You are a racing driver. You enter competitions, and have c...

THE SHORT VERSION I'm not one to give into hype. There's a reason I don't tend to watch E3 livestreams or many game trailers these days. It usually comes down to overhyping things with pre-rendered cinematics and even slightly doctored gameplay footage. If a game is marketed as being the biggest thing since Skyrim 's world map, chances are it won't match the hype when it finally emerges from production. Consider me pleasantly surprised, then, at how much The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt  manages to work to earn the reputation it's garnered from the hype. I won't go so far as to say it lives up to  that hype, but it certainly is a far cry from most games that see a gulf between expectation and execution. If nothing else, is accomplishes the task of snagging new players quite effortlessly. Either that or I'm just a really easy target for sharply-written fantasy narrative alongside great gameplay. The latter is distinctly possible, given the copies of Dragon...

I can't remember the last time an anime made me cry the way The Tale of the Princess Kaguya  did. It might be unorthodox to lead with that off the bat, and while it's not strictly speaking a selling point that a movie is able to cause Kleenex share prices to skyrocket, it's nonetheless a quality with Princess Kaguya . You should know going in, especially since this is a creation from the mind of Isao Takahata - the award-winning scribe who began his career with the soul-crushing depression-fest Grave of the Fireflies  - that The Tale of the Princess Kaguya  will, unless your cardiac region has recently been removed, make you cry. But given that it's an overly-heartwarming, growth of the protagonist tale that follows the eponymous princess from her birth, what else could you expect? The movie opens with an elderly bamboo cutter discovering a tiny child, dressed like a princess, inside a strange-looking bamboo stalk. He takes the little girl home to his wife, whe...
