Big Giant Robots

Finishing a game in 4 days is a new personal best for me, and to be honest with you if I had not had a life to distract me I am pretty sure I would have finished it on the very first day.. damn you sleeping, eating, and working. I may be finished with the [...]

Where to start with this… lets just start with amazing. Batman: Arkham Asylum was a surprise for me, I had seen it coming and it looked interesting. But when you look back at the history of super hero games it is not good. So a long time ago I gave up on hoping on a [...]

The other day I was browsing through Wired as I often do and I came across the an article they have done on infection films, I have to admit bio-hazard films have always freaked me out which is why I enjoy watching them. For me zombie films are just an extension of the idea that [...]

1974′s Space Battleship Yamato is one of the most epic, legendary anime series ever made. It’s also 26 episodes long. The 2010 live action film has to compress all of that into 138 minutes and also attempts to modernise the crew and interestingly, opts to include elements from the anime’s sequel series to boot.

There are some great things coming out at the moment that are worthing checking out. Akira Collectors Edition Steel Book Yet another edition of Akira you just have to buy.

Hopefully this is old news to anyone visiting a site called Big Giant Robots but if you somehow have missed it thus far, then you should check out Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Inspector (hereon abbreviated as SRW).  Why? well it features a diverse range of the nicest looking mechs of the year in [...]

If you haven’t heard of Sym-Bionic Titan you will soon! Then you will wonder how you ever lived without it. This new show from Genndy Tartakovsky has only just started but it is already one of my favourite shows, fortunately for me it slots right into the “Big Giant Robot” theme perfectly.

The Expendables may have the most pressure on it of any movie ever, just look at the cast list Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crewes, Mickey Rourke, Stone Cold Steve Austin and cameo’s by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.  It’s cast are all legends and almost all of them [...]

There are some things that take you by surprise, Glass Maiden aka Crystal Blaze in Japan is definitely one of those series that does that.  Ordinarily I get annoyed when an anime is so shameless in showing it’s influences, and in copying much from my favourite series City Hunter I’d expect to be scathing but [...]
