In so many ways Forza Horizon feels like it’s a game trying to play catch-up. Apparently inspired by some of the superb open-world racers we’re seeing these days (not least of which those of the brilliant EA studio, Criterion). Forza Horizon is at times carbon-copy of those games. Within the…

Civil War/Marvel Comics/pinball/Zen Pinball 2

In the struggle between those in favor of the superhero registration act and a little silver ball, where will you side? In all honesty, I didn’t like Civil War as a storyline in the least. I thought it was one of the weakest Marvel ‘events’ in years and a waste…
