Dishing out more retro action JoyMasher isn’t slowing down on retro action games. Its latest release, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, is calling out to the Strider (and Hagane?) fans in the room. And with a fall release planned, it’s reassuring to know that this new throwback isn’t far off. After the Contra-flavored Blazing Chrome, they’ve got my full attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJgmvI0iG6w This one’s another level-based side-scrolling action game, starring a newly-awakened ninja who’s rebelling against a…

Put it back in the bargain bin I only knew two things before purchasing 2007’s Heavenly Guardian on PS2. First, it was going to be a game in the Pocky & Rocky series, only maybe not really. It looked to be aiming more at Kiki Kaikai, which the Pocky & Rocky games are the sequels to, but I’m not going to get into the finer details of why they’re almost two separate series. The quick version is this: Kiki Kaikai is Taito; Pocky & Rocky is Natsume. Yes, this means that Pocky & Rocky with Becky is more a part…

The company is rolling out a new version of Good Guardians (a.k.a. Galaxy Labs) and new updates to Thermal Guardian and Galaxy App Booster. Coincidentally, all three app updates carry the same version: “3.0.46.” Likewise, all three updates are missing their changelogs or present older changelogs as new. If you haven’t heard of Thermal Guardian and Galaxy App Booster, it’s probably due…

The Bourne IdentityThe first movie in the series is a masterpiece of story, action and – seldom acknowledged – a perfect soundtrack. The editing is immaculate, while the screenplay stays on the right side of rational. The pacing is driven by sequences of calm exposition, allowing the subsequent action to be heightened. Love it.Fight sequences were so well executed they redefined Bond, while the Paris car chase remains iconic – check out how it ends. The film stands repeated watching, the casting is excellent, and flits…

Hard BoiledWhen John Woo’s 1989 breakthrough The Killer started slipping into repertory houses and cult video stores, it was the beginning of a revolution, like an adrenalized marriage between the cool of Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï and the operatic bloodletting of Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. But The Killer turned out to be a mere throat-clearing for Woo’s follow-up, Hard Boiled, which kicks off with a shootout in a teahouse filled with birdcages (bullets and feathers go flying) and builds to 40mins of…

Under the Skin Photograph: Film4/Sportsphoto/AllstarAn alien falls to earth, body-snatches a sex worker, and prowls the streets of Glasgow on the hunt for men she can devour in an inky dimension of nothingess. Under the curious-minded surrealism of director Jonathan Glazer, B-movie thrills ‘n’ chills morph into an exercise in defamiliarization, carried out through rigorous and startlingly beautiful experiments with form. An abstract mass takes the shape of an eyeball; a chocolate cake is stared at until it becomes a void;…
