AMO recently reviewed indie adventure game Gemini Rue, proclaiming it to be “one of the best adventure games of 2011; visually, aurally and thematically stunning. A phenomenal achievement.” Following on from this review, the game’s creator Joshua Nuernberger was kind enough to join us for a follow-up interview where we discussed the game and its multiple layers in-depth. Warning: This interview contains spoilers.

Zack Snyder gained notoriety back in 2007 with his testosterone-fuelled epic 300, while 2009 saw his big-screen adaptation of comic book Watchmen. This year, Snyder works with the female of the species in Sucker Punch, starring a predominantly female cast headlined by Emily Browning (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Uninvited). Has Snyder delivered his audience the promised ‘sucker punch’ with this latest offering?

Like his proverbial namesake catching the morning worm, The Chaffinch swoops down from the rooftops to tackle the nameless thugs of Gotham City. Dishing out punches, kicks and batarangs, his retribution is swift. Answering a call from his mentor Batman, he heads to another crime scene round the block. Identical looking thugs meet the same justice. Another call comes in, twenty more of the same reprobates line the streets. DC Universe Online reads a familiar story. Fantastic license, terrible execution.

Paul Carrack is a British singer/songwriter who was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. He has played with many successful bands over the years including Ace, Squeeze, Mike & The Mechanics and Roxy Music. He has also toured extensively as a session musician and enjoyed success as a solo artist. Last year, I reviewed Carrack’s latest offering A Different Hat, which I described as “an album that manages to take a wide range of aging material and successfully bring it bang up to date.” The album also featured in AMO’s ‘Best of 2010 Awards’. I am therefore delighted to present an exclusive interview with Paul Carrack where we discuss his extensive music career.
