About 6 months a go I suddenly decided to take up the guitar it’s something I thought about when I was a teenager but not since. I&#8217;m now approaching 43 (I know it might be a mid life crisis thing).
Sometimes it can be a real pain, not just physically in the finger muscles and tips [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=generalrant.wordpress.com&blog=1725307&post=153&subd=generalrant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Never really got on with rhythm games before, always found them supremely irritating, too quick for me. So when a friend suggested I might like Guitar Hero I wasn’t sure, then I read a interview somewhere about the team behind it, and my interest grew.

Finally I bit the bullet and ordered it from Play.com, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=generalrant.wordpress.com&blog=1725307&post=147&subd=generalrant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Another brilliant looking film from Tim Burton, which reminded me of The Corpse Bride. The visual style is only as Burton can do, quality and an atmosphere of undiluted creepiness is in every frame. The colours are kept quite monotone to better contrast with the sticky red stuff, of which there is wheel barrow loads.

		<description><![CDATA[
Based on the best-selling novel by James Siegel (No wonder this film is so well written and scripted). It’s a real edge of your seat thriller, very much like Hitchcocks films in the past, it builds the tension throughout with some terrific plot twists, some obvious and some not so.

Clive Owen’s acting is a little [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=generalrant.wordpress.com&blog=1725307&post=141&subd=generalrant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This film is rather like a half hour comedy sketch that’s been stretched too far. It has elements of Only When I laugh and Benny Hill. It has obviously been shot on a tight budget and they have done their best the script and the story is OK if not quite clever.

Recently Grand Theft Auto 4 has hit the streets, and it has made me question the whole media of video games. This game is immoral and this comes from someone who has been to art college and done those art college/student things we all do when we’re young. I do defend peoples right to free [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=generalrant.wordpress.com&blog=1725307&post=138&subd=generalrant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

For those not in the know, this is a video game magazine that covers all formats (Nintendo, Microsoft, Playstation, PC&#8230;). This is also one of the only magazines that prides itself on being impartial in its reviews and occasionally gets itself into hot water with some of the more hard core gamers (read young hot [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=generalrant.wordpress.com&blog=1725307&post=136&subd=generalrant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The beginning of last year I decided to invest in some entertainment equipment (that’s waste money and boys toys to any female readers). So I thought I should find out a little bit about what I was buying, and subsequently brought a copy of What Hi-Fi?

Don’t usually like first person shooters, don’t usually like war games or strategy or tactical games or games with lots of confusing controls.

This film is based on the video games of the same name, not usually a good recommendation for a film but in this case not a complete disaster.
