35 years ago, Ocean was advertising its generally excellent ports of Pang with what looks like fabulous Bob Wakelin art. Loved the original arcade version of this. A real classic.

Charlie Cox says nominations for his 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' role should go to Gustave’s motion capture artist
"There's an amazing french actor named Maxence Cazorla who did almost all of the motion capture for that role ... so any nomination or any credit I get, I really have to give to him"

The lead-up to November is always a busy time for game developers. You have to get your games on the shop shelves in time for Thanksgiving. If you missed this holiday then you would lose a huge amount of potential sales. Here's a few of the ones I worked on with incredibly talented teams.

Pokémon: Legends Z-A has a great concept, let down once again by disappointing tech - but at least Switch 2 offers a substantial upgrade over prior hardware. Here's the DF review: youtu.be/XMgZIiSUztw

THE TERMINATOR was released 41 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great science fiction/action films of the 1980s, and the film that launched the career of writer-director James Cameron, the story of how it was made absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until it is read…

After our screening of FRANKENSTEIN (1931) today, we return with THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) next Wed 14th Oct afternoon. James Whale’s electrifying sequel that outdoes the original in every way. Equal parts gothic horror, dark comedy, and aching tragedy.

Dear
Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email.
I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy.
In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants.
Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully.
Best wishes,
Dr Beccy Cooper MP
