Outland review: Will and grace
This admission is better read than said: I'm hopelessly addicted to will and grace.

Dead Nation review: It's dangerous to go alone
Twelve hours and 15,000 dead zombies later, I finished Dead Nation. Did I feel accomplished? Yeah, sure. But the feeling that I couldn't shake? Relief. Housemarque's long-awaited follow-up to Super Stardust HD is exhausting, in more ways than one. The body count should be a clue: Dead Nation is ...
