Floodland is a children’s fantasy novel published by Orion Children’s Books in 2000. The debut novel of Marcus Sedgwick, it won the Branford Boase Award in 2001 for being an outstanding first published novel. Having recently reviewed Sedwick’s latest book White Crow, I decided it would be interesting to start at the beginning and see how Floodland holds up ten years later.

Ghost Of Sparta is the sixth instalment in the critically lauded God Of War series and the third chapter chronologically. It is also the second God Of War game to appear on PSP, again created by Ready At Dawn but this time in collaboration with the SCE Santa Monica Studio, who of course created the stunning God Of War III on PlayStation 3 earlier this year.

Inception has finally been released on DVD and Blu-ray, allowing eager fans to enjoy the film once more and newcomers to see what all the fuss is about. The UK Limited Edition comes in a metal briefcase containing a Triple Play copy of the film (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy), a PASIV (Portable Automated Somnacin IntraVenous) Device User Manual, art-cards and a spinning top.

Tales Of Monkey Island was released to critical acclaim last year on PC, followed by ports on both Wii and PS3. I immediately noticed that there was a surprising lack of concrete detail about the quality of the console ports available online. Therefore, when I finally finished the game recently on all three platforms, I decided to share my thoughts with AMO’s readers. This review will be less a review of the game itself (which comprises five chapters, each of which is fantastic) and instead offer a write-up on the different versions available and their various strengths/weaknesses.
