Super Pokemon Rumble Review

My review for 3DS bore-fest Super Pokemon Rumble is now live on Realm of Gaming. Giving it such a negative review hurt my inner Pokemon fan; but no amount of nostalgia can make shit not stink.

One More Thing I Kinda Want

Whenever I see replica video game weaponry I always feel like that 6-8 year old kid you see in shops badgering his mother for a plastic sword or a miniature fully functioning trebuchet. Rest assured, if my kids ever badger me for this replica of the M-96 Mattock Heavy Rifle from Mass Effect 2, I'll display it proudly for them, I might even let them touch it...sometimes.


Zander Brandt, famous for other Mass Effect replicas, put together this wonderful piece head-blasty fun in his spare time. Brandt commented. "I chose [the Mattock] because it is arguably the most complicated rifle in the Mass Effect universe that still looks like it was made by human hands". Later Brandt wrote on his blog. "I like a challenge. And headaches apparently"

Mr. Brandt I salute you. Here's hoping for some cool stuff come the release of Mass Effect 3.

The Virtual Unreality Twitter Page

This always happens when a new form of social networking emerges. I ignore it for months and months and then suddenly I arrive late to the party to a resounding chorus of "nobody gives a shit you're here Chris". It happened with Myspace, it happened with Facebook and now it's happened with Twitter.

For all the reviews, news, inane chatter and incomprehensible musings you can handle, follow me here: http://twitter.com/#!/V_Unreality and I'll return the favour.

Why not ask what Dragon Age: Origins favourite Qunari thinks?


Fuck you Sten.

2500 Cheeses Roll Down a Hill in Skyrim

Have you ever heard of the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling Festival? For those who haven't, essentially, on the spring bank holiday cheese chasing enthusiasts descend on Coopers Hill, Gloucester. All in the name of watching a wheel of cheese fly down a hill, with a competitor inevitably tumbling a few meters behind it.

It all sounds like awful good fun but for some, Gloucester can be a few too many miles away, even if you do get to hurl yourself off a mountain pursuing dairy products. Thankfully, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim more than lives up to it's 'go anywhere do anything' claims and thanks to Youtube user STuKKie86Skyrim owners can now commemorate the Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling Festival their own way. At home, comfortably sitting in a chair without broken bones and a face full of double gloucester.
