Shining some light on the act…

Borderlands 1:16:33

5d ago1:16:33

1:16:33

It's being decried as one of the worst movies of all time, reviving the long established "videogame movie curse" and some have even said it feels like an Uwe Boll film. So the question becomes; is Borderlands really as bad as everybody says it is? Joined by special guests, Jamie and Rory take a look at this hot new release to decide if the negative…

Wing Commander 1:06:58

28d ago1:06:58

1:06:58

Based on the popular 1990s series of PC games, this science-fiction thriller stars 90s favourites Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard in a story that feels like a mash-up of Top Gun and Starship Troopers.

We love uncovering forgotten gems here on VGMP and this certainly ranks amongst them.

The result was this TV pilot that was not picke…
