Yeah yeah; another day, another Kinect hack.
But to be honest this kind of remeinded us of the holodeck, and we can’t wait to see it adapted for first-person shooters in an arcade environment….

Tate Modern 10th Birthday Celebration -South Bank, London

Yeah that’s right, we’re talking about art –wanna fight about it? Sure it isn’t usually ES fare but what the hell, I wasted my Sunday wandering around London’s South Bank when I could have been eating toast and stealing porn off the net so I don’t see why you shouldn’t have to sit there and listen to me talk about it, you unenlightened simian.
Anyway, London’s lovely Tate Modern had it’s 10th birthday this weekend, and in celebration decided to invite a multicultural selection of feckless layabouts international artists and independent hopefuls to fill up the turbine hall with their various ramshackle projects, displays and happenings, and because some of us have girlfriends of a distinctly arty persuasion(and it was free), we were there as well.
Now, the last time I went to TM was during their recent terrible Pop Art exhibition, where absolute shite from Warhol’s latter years abutted some godawful Jeff Koons statues while various NWA tracks played in the background. It was –NWA aside –uniformly awful. Fortunately they were also showcasing some of John Baldessari’s excellent, witty and erudite photographic work, so I approached this in reasonably hopeful mood.
And yes, I was wrong to do so.

When it comes to comic books, crossovers are old news – but we’ve never seen one as equally cute and terrifying as this…

If you were as dorky as I was growing up, then you probably encountered at least one of those Ladybird ‘Outer Space’ books that predicted how we’d all be driving flying cars and using time-travelling shoes by now, pouring over the lush artwork and dreaming of your visits to the space hotel.

Obviously we’re all glued to Bioshock and eagerly awaiting Final Fantasy XIII right?
Well, you are if you know tuppence-ha’penny about actual gaming.
If however, you happen to be one of the airheaded majority that don’t complain about the Wii’s PS1-era graphics then chances are you’re getting your games fix elsewhere-like on FaceBook for example…
