Curve Doppleganger Review
Super cool industrial goth, featuring Toni Halliday's sexy vocals and dysfunctional lyrics. Curve, musically and culturally, are an obvious influence on the look and sound of Garbage, but have always carried a meatier, more visceral vibe. The analogue recording much favours the vinyl record over the CD, with the CD missing the track leakage and sheer thrilling noise of the original recording. The album still sounds like a heroine standing in front of an oncoming hurricane, despite the quintessentially early 90s tinny drum machine firmly dating the album.

Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 concludes the events of the original T-Virus outbreak in and around Raccoon City that began in the first Resident Evil game. It also marks the end of a very specific type of 'Survival Horror' Resident Evil game before new graphics engines and a control interface would be introduced in the later 'numbered' Resi games. As such, the game is invariably frustrating to play due to the rigid tank controls, and also because of the difficulty for the player in trying to make out key items in the cluttered, low-resolution on-screen display. However, like all of the 'numbered' Resident Evil games, it is absolutely brilliant. The flawed controls and graphics actually contribute to the distinct, strange flavour of panic and detailed investigation that the first three numbered games imbue to the player. Other features such as the great character and monster designs, the typically bonkers (yet weirdly half plausible) narrative and the feeling of loneliness and isolation when playing created by the precise bursts of ambient music and sound arrangements are, for me, exemplars of the adventure game genre which no other franchise comes close to matching. And, it is damn cool. The look and feel of numbered Resident Evil games would begin to change quite radically after Resident Evil 3, a fittingly great end to this particular type of game in the series. A HD update please Capcom.

There and Back Again Review
This small hardback is bound in green cloth with a lovely illustration of the interior of Bag End, by John Howe, on the front cover with an attractive gold text giving book details on both the front and rear covers. Brian Sibley provides an exegesis, of about forty pages or so, regarding the importance of maps for Tolkien and for the reader of Tolkien and about Tolkien's map of The Hobbit in particular. The major attraction of the publication is a fold-out map, based upon Tolkien's original, of the locations visited by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. This map is beautifully illustrated by John Howe, and features a delightful scene from the Chapter in the novel An Unexpected Party as well as an especially malevolent depiction of the evil dragon Smaug.
