And knowing is half the battle!

I'mmmm reviewinggggg awwwayyyy

Now we return you to your regularly scheduled programming

Film - Pirates of the Caribbean on stranger tides

Before I start this, best to know that I love the pirates of the Caribbean films, so don't expect a completely impartial review.

On stranger tides is the forth film in this particular series and like the other films in the series it is a fun pirate adventure.

Don't come into it expecting an earth shattering film classic, but do expect a couple of hours of uninterrupted enjoyment. The fight scenes are great, the cast is still great, the story is stupid, but entertaining and the art direction is fantastic.

But it does not build on the franchise and it is in no way an unmissable film.

It is however well worth watching, go see it, 4.5 out of 5 brains.

Play - Avenue Q

This is something I have been waiting to see for a long long time, I'll keep this short as Sunday matt spoke about this yesterday.

Puppets, adult themes, hilarious songs, laugh out loud moments.

Go see it if you have the chance its awesome.

5 out of 5 brains.

Xbox 360 game - Fallout 3 : New Vegas

This is not a new game to me, I have spent many hours wondering the mojave wasteland in the past, just as I spent many hours wondering the capital wasteland before it. But some new DLC has recently drawn me back into postapocoliptia so I felt like talking about it.

Fallout 3 is a great game, Fallout 3 : New Vegas is also a great game.

This time you have much more control over what story you go for, 3 major factions are trying to control New Vegas and you can make the choice of who you will side with, turning the war and giving victory to the people you like the most.

Or you can make the choice to destroy all the factions and take control for you self.

The combat is first person, but aided by VATS this allows you to stop the action and pick your targets with precession, braking up the boring first person shooting aspects and letting you decide how you play.

Its a great game, you should play it.

However, this game is buggy as hell, even with all the patches to have come out, it still crashes my Xbox every few hours, some companions can disappear and break the game in the process (I'm looking at you ED-E) save games get corrupted so often you need to constantly back up your saves and graphical glitches are not uncommon

This is not what you should expect from an big studio title, nor the follow up to such a great game.

So I give it 3.5 brains out of 5 (5 out of 5 if they ever fix it)

PC game - The Tiny Bang Story

This is a game I picked up on a whim. Its a beautiful puzzle game the graphical style can not be faulted and some of the puzzles are genuinely tricky. However the main part of this game is pixel hunting, and you end up trying to click on everything to find the last little item you missed.

Its also a stupidly short game, even with all the time I spent pixel hunting I completed this game in less than 3 hours total play time and it has exactly zero replay value.

I recommend this only if you a lover of pixel hunting games, or simply beautiful games, but past that, its hard to recommend.

Schadenfreude

Which is German for 'The happiness at the misfortune of others'. This video will explain;

If you haven't guessed by now, Avenue Q was finally viewed by four of the Zombie Outbreak team! Me, Friday Voni, Monday Richard and Tuesday Shanice were the lucky four to see the musical comedy show of Avenue Q on it's last day of it's Birmingham tour!

After about two years of me and Monday Richard singing along to every single song from the soundtrack, we finally got the chance to see the show in person. It's safe to say, it was freaking amazing! If you ever find it's playing anywhere near you, I would highly recommend you go see it! To describe it in one sentence, it is essentially Sesame Street for adults. It has many great songs, which do feature a few swears, one being well-known around the internet, 'The Internet Is For Porn'. Which one character attempts to tell about how useful the internet can be whilst the other interrupts by making it about porn. Brilliant!

There are songs for all to enjoy, whether it about accepting a friend of being gay, people being racist, having sex very loudly or just about getting people to raise money! It's fun for all those willing to be entertained by very musical puppets and a couple of real actors/actresses including one playing Gary Coleman. Yes, you read that correctly, Gary Coleman. How can that not be entertaining?!?

So, seeing as it has now finished it's Birmingham tour, you will have to hope it comes to a theatre near you or do what me and Monday Richard did and watch/make videos to do with Avenue Q until it comes to your town!

Also, either the rapture didn't happen yesterday or I (and you, whoever is reading this) are some of the few people that will be heading off to hell in October!

See you there!!
