  1. The best way to get to swing a lightsaber?

    In the list of the best videogame weapons, the lightsaber has done predictably well, always in the top four - and normally leading the way!

    So it’s particularly useful that RevOnline has created a Ditto list of  the Best Star Wars Games.  Is it better to spend £30 on a copy of Lego Star Wars, or do you need to invest a few hundred in an arcade machine? And is Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace the worst Star Wars game ever, in line with the films?

    On a more movie-related note…I’m pleasantly surprised to see I’m not the only one filling the list of the Best Swedish films ever.  Seeing as I’m trying to improve my Swedish all the time, it’s given me some other things to watch!

  2. New Quizzes for July (and other random fun)

    Hello, good people of Ditto,

    I’m pleased to announce some new quiz action for this month: we’ve got questions for music lovers, a quiz for film buffs and a fiendish test for the gamers amongst you. There’s a whopping £50 worth of Amazon vouchers on offer as a prize for each quiz.

    In other news, you can win £100 worth of Forbidden Planet vouchers in our expert-level horror quiz, with more gruesome excitement to be had with our list of cinema’s grisliest death scenes (thanks, Empire!), the greatest films of George A. Romero and my new favourite list- classic 1970s Horror trumps. I urge you to vote for Maggot because, although generally weak, he’s quite a looker. Speaking of lookers, Pat has started a list about films with massive kill counts which is proving to be quite controversial due to his stringent rules about ‘kill count’ versus ‘body count’.

    If that’s all a bit too dark for you, there’s still time to win some ace pop goodies in our Alphabeat quiz, vote for the best 80s Hip Hop videos or relive those times when you’ve held a lighter aloft with our list of the greatest live albums

    Enjoy!
