FILM REVIEW – Terminator Salvation

By Marty MulrooneyTerminator_4

After seeing Terminator Salvation last night, I was somewhat lost for words (unusual for me I can assure you.) The state I was in as I drove home was made up of both positives and negatives, all of which raced through my mind in some kind of self-loathing, fan-boyish frenzy.  As a long time fan of the Terminator franchise (not including the extremely disappointing T3), I had high hopes for the latest installment, against my better judgement.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon Review (ACG)

By Marty Mulrooneyimpulseheader_ceville

My first review for adventureclassicgaming.com is finally up!

Ceville is a comedy driven point and click adventure game from Kalypso, that I thought was a surprisingly pleasant game to pass some time. It reminded me a lot of the Shrek films, using well known fairy tales as the basis for a world of oddities and humour.
