Video games that get translated to movies usually suck (the movies, not the game). Take Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Double Dragon and Mario Bros. for example – the movie versions of those are flops at the box office, so hopefully the upcoming Halo movie will not follow in the footsteps of Doom should it make its way to the silver screens.

According to French site Halo.fr, a press release concerning the book “Halo: Cryptum” by Greg Bear, did mention a film adaptation of the popular game franchise with a probable theaterical release date of 2012. The release reads, “A film adaptation is set in 2012. It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks.”

With names such as Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks behind this production, chances are pretty good everything is going turn out hunky dory – Spielberg hardly churns out turkeys from what I know. Hopefully the Halo movie will be a reality, right Halo fans?

LG Display back on track with iPad 2 displays

A while back the iPad 2 faced shortages due to some production issues with LG Display (LGD). As most of you already know, Samsung, Chimei Innolux and LGD are the primary manufacturers for the displays on the iPad 2, and issues such as failing drop tests and backlight bleeding have caused a disruption in the production cycle, thus causing the entire world to experience long delays in getting their iPad 2s.

According to Digitimes, it appears that LGD has managed to get back on track and are now pushing out 4 million displays a month since August, an increase from their 2.6 million that was reported in July. These output levels are said to maintain throughout September as well, and hopefully the rest of the year in time for the holiday season. If you happen to be living in a country where iPad 2s are in short supply, hopefully things have already started to pickup!

Literature Reviews - Start on the Right Track

Starting and creating a literature review can be a tricky problem. For a start you need to know what your review should achieve and what sources you are going to use. The first step is always to revisit the research Aims and Objectives and ask yourself:

1. What do you want to find out?

2. What do you want to know about the topic?

3. What would help you write your thesis?

It can be easy to forget that the literature review also helps you to understand a topic. So it's not only a requirement of a thesis, it is a learning experience for you.


For example, if my aim were to research "User Generated Content in the context of museums", the literature that would interest me would be in these areas:

1. User Generated Content - defining what it is and how it is used?

2. User Generated Content in the context of museums - are any museums using it? Are there journal papers on the subject? Has someone already reviewed the area?

3. What alternatives are there to User Generated Content - as it's a relatively new topic then what did museums use before?

Even if your research aim is to only look at one particular topic, then use this topic as a starting point and start writing these down.

By now, you hopefully have a written list of possible topics so I recommend writing a short overview of these topics of about 200-300 words in total. The process of trying to write about these topics, will make you focus on what you need to know and what literature you need to be reading! Use coursework notes or your own experience and if you are stuck, then right down what you need to know. It's unlikely that you know nothing about your research topic, so try to take a few minutes to think about what it is you are trying to achieve and write this down.

Try to make your research topics clear before starting a literature review. This will make it easier and avoid you becoming overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available to you. So returning to my example, I'd start by using the search terms:

Keyword Search 1: User + Generated + Content + museums

Keyword Search 2: User + Generated + Content + museums + review

Keyword Search 3: Website + content + museums

Keyword Search 4: User + Generated + Content

This should give me enough journals and information to start writing a draft review.

Now from these searches, start to create headings for each of your main topics. As this is in draft format then it doesn't matter too much about the order. You'll find that once you start writing, the logical order will become clearer. It's very easy to quickly copy and paste words from one section to another, so the key thing here is to make sure your headings reflect what is in your Aims and Objectives!

A really good hint here is to search for a review on your subject, in a well-known journal database such as EmeraldInsight or ScienceDirect. If it's a popular topic, then there will be reviews on it. These are invaluable as the previous researcher will already have identified gaps in the literature and categorised the main headings.

As you write each part of the review, remember to write a brief introduction and conclusion at the end of each heading. The introduction may only be 50-100 words but it is important to explain why this area of the literature is being covered and how it relates to the Aims & Objectives. Similarly the conclusion briefly lists the main findings and helps to confirm that the work is relevant to the Aims and Objectives.

So to recap, an example of how to start is:

1. Write a short overview of what you need to know based on your Aims & Objectives and discuss this with your tutor or supervisor (200-300 words)

2. Search journal databases using keywords relating to your research

3. Search for a review on your topic (great if you can find one!)

4. Identify key topic headings and split your chapter into sub-headings

5. Write a draft review under each headings, with an introduction and conclusion at the end of each topic

Remember that your supervisor should always be able to help you. Ask them to review your work as you go along to make sure it's OK and on the right track.
