90s

Even if you’ve never played System Shock, you’ve probably played something that was inspired by it. The 1994 classic has been hailed as an influential masterpiece that helped pave the way for emergent shooters like Bioshock. So, how do you go about remaking a game that’s been iterated on to the extent that this game has been? By staying true to the source. I went hands-on with System Shock’s upcoming remake at Gamescom and was happy to see how developer Nightdive Studios is approaching the project. Rather than…

There seems to be a 'day' for everything now, isn't it? Like August 19 is world photography day. Though the way smartphone cameras are used these days, every day seems like a photography day. Smartphone cameras have come a long way in the last couple of decades. So much so that imaging powerhouses like Canon and Nikon have all but dropped D-SLR cameras from their lineup. Smartphone cameras have enabled everyone to click great photos without having much technical expertise. The evolution of smartphone cameras has been…

Heather Small used to tell herself: if she could just have one song that everyone knew and expected her to sing over and over again, she would be happy. That she has many is a real delight. She remembers a group of refuse collectors in their van who spotted her on the street and shouted over to her. “They all started singing Moving on Up,” she says. “I felt like I’d arrived. It was brilliant. It was just so warm, and if the dustmen want to sing my songs I feel honoured.”That song and others – such as One Night in Heaven…

I can't even count how many times I have watched the 1997 action flick Con Air over the course of the past 25 years. Sure, there have been a dozen or so times where I’ve made a conscious decision to watch Nicolas Cage, in one of his best movies, try to prevent a zany group of convicts from escaping the country, but the number of times I've caught bits and pieces of it on cable has to be in the triple-digits at this point.Con Air is one of those movies that is so bad it’s good and I just can’t get enough of it. However,…
