Jaga won't talk about books and suchFeel free to contact:

Everlands
Everlands is a basically The Animals of Farthing Wood outsmarting your generic zombie infection invasion. In this little lushly illustrated turn-based strategic puzzle thing, you fight evil consumed bears with killerbees. Nuff said.
PVT – Church with no Magic
With their rebrand into PVT (formally Pivot), they seem to have traded their last guitar for yet another arpeggi-synth. PVT always did the better math as Battles, now, with their all the more Berlin-David Bowie dark experimental pop, they’re heading to become the even better INXS.
Omega Massif – Geisterstadt | Kalt
Apparently Omega Massif’s repress of their debut ‘Geisterstadt’ conceptually describes a gallery in an inoperative mine leading to a gold digger ghost town. For me it rather sounds like Isis doing a soundtrack for Dig Dug. They’ll be releasing new stuff later this year.
Kitsuné X Ponystep mixed by Jerry Bouthier
Everyone loves ponies, so it makes perfect sense to me that Kitsuné team up with yet another animal horde to release some Jerry Bouthier mixed bonanza in-between joli Paris chic grosse tête, UK hip ethnic enclave of London edge and some other cities with catwalks.
Lebanon
On the first day of the Lebanon campaign in 1982, a freshwater israeli tank crew breaks behind enemy lines. Lebanon might be the most powerful yet most nightmarish, claustrophobic and quite possibly the most hard to take anti war film ever.
Cry me a river @ Wöstenkrug, Versmold
Once a year, who-is-who of the screamo scene gathers in shit-creek Versmold, NRW. Expect a lot of self-made tattoos, a shitload of cryptic band shirts, some good friendly violent fun and loud hardcore punk music. Yes, that’s quite it. Raw and the craic.
Samaritan Girl
Ki-duk Kim’s Samaritan Girl is only one pick of the uprising korean drama cinema. With the consistent use of the iconography of the new testament, Samaritan Girl has an explicit glance at guilt and atonement of victims and victimizers in a society aroused by its children. Kudos.
ModNation Racers
ModNation Racers is a schnellschuss and sure enough lacks a competitive thought-out gameplay and a uniqueness, a captivating art style and heart. Better see it as a hands-on but still powerful level editor for a rather half-decent Mario Kart clone keeping the play.create.share spirit alive.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
It lacks heart, passion, love for the ball and the unique magic a football World Cup brings, especially when it’s the first time in history that an African country hosts such an event. This is why the game devastatingly fails in its effort. It’s still a good soccer game, but a way less than stellar World Cup game.
