iOS Gamers Only
Hello iPhone/iPad gamers. Which are your favourite games? What are you playing right now?
I'm playing Crossy Road, Sunburn, Letterpress and Out There. Crossy Road is mindless tapping and the game that I use to unwind before sleeping.
Sunburn is a great game with awesome pixel art. It's about astronauts marooned in space, and you've got to find all of them and crash into the sun. In spite of the sad-sounding theme, the game is quite light and has some great art and nice music.
Letterpress is a nice multiplayer word game. Try it, really.
Out There is an incredibly tough space exploration game. I can't recommend this one enough and it is one of the less popular games on iOS. I love going to different planets, black holes and stars.
Science Fiction Fans
Hello there! If you're reading this, you probably love science fiction as much as I do. Which are your favourite sci-fi books, films or games? If you love science fiction in any other form, this is the place to let the world know.
I'll start with the films I love the most:
2001: A Space Odyssey - So slow that you could watch this film at 2.5x the speed for the most part. But it is a pure work of art that you must watch. The special effects still don't look dated and that's a massive achievement for a film from 1968 (yes, 46 years ago!).
Stalker - This is a slow, artistic film. The beauty of Stalker lies in its cinmetography. A group of people want to explore an area abandoned after a nuclear disaster, even though there is the threat of radiation poisoning. The film was shot at a place where there was an actual radiation hazard. Small wonder the entire crew passed away less than 10 years after the film was released.
The Matrix - It's a great film that's got something for everyone. The Matrix is a unique blend of philosophy and some crazy action sequences. I've watched this one many times and am yet to tire of it.
Feel free to share your favourites!
