...Portal 2 was a great experience. Those characters could really have come across as a bit one-note after the first game, but the cracking script kept things rolling along brilliantly. The additions of Stephen Merchant and JK Simmons to the cast were both inspired choices. I have heard some complain the game was too easy, and that might be ever so slightly true of the single player campaign (if you were being ultra harsh), but the co-op compensates there. For me the single player campaign was probably just about right in terms of difficulty...
...saw Hanna at the cinema today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like films that don't feel the need to treat their audience like children and throw bucket loads of exposition in your face. It's beautifully shot with some fantastic cinematography, a great soundtrack courtesy of the Chemical Brothers, and young lead Saoirse Ronan is just about perfect. Well worth checking out...

...new season of Doctor Who kicking off today...more excited about this one than I have been about the show since it's reboot. I think Steven Moffat and co have done a great job with the latest incarnation of the Doctor, and I'm looking forward to what they have come up with for the new season...
