| | Thing (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Thing is typically able to hold his own amongst the strongest superhumans due to his indominitable resolve, tough rocky hide, and exceptional fighting skills he learned as a normal human. | | | The Thing, played by Michael Chiklis, in the 2005 movie Fantastic Four | | | He is portrayed by Michael Bailey Smith (as Ben) and Carl Ciarfalio (as the Thing) in the former and Michael Chiklis (in both roles) in the latter, where general consensus holds his to be the most comic-accurate portrayal in the film. |

| | For example, if one of your teammates turns out to be a Thing, most players would load a previous save to kill him as human, saving vital ammo. | | | However, a Thing mini-series, perhaps unrelated to the Sci-Fi Channel's version, was announced in 2004 and is expected to be released in December 2005/spring 2006. | | | John Carpenter's The Thing is a 1982 science fiction film directed by John Carpenter. |

| | GamingWorld X - The Thing Review |
| | The Thing is a sci fi classic that should certainly be seen before playing this game. | | | Theres no risk in giving anyone a gun, because even if they do turn out to be a Thing, theyll drop the gun when they attack. | | | Theres no advantage to discovering if someone is a Thing early, because he can still be a valuable addition to the team. |

| | John Carpenter's The Thing |
| | I guess the relatively poor financial performance of The Thing meant that we were lucky enough for the title not to be cashed in until both hardware and game playing had evolved far enough to produce the skillful, suspenseful and inspired piece of work that this game undoubtedly is. | | | This is one of the games strongpoints as it preserves the best aspect of the movie (who is The Thing?) within the gameplay. | | | The Thing is, simply, one of the scariest films ever made, ranking alongside the likes of Alien, Evil Dead and Carpenter's own Halloween. |

| | Featuring The Thing Review at ActionTrip |
| | Once you're deeply immersed in the story, you'll immediately notice how smooth the game actually is. If you ask me, absolutely everything in the game was made to ease the gameplay. | | | The good thing is that you can use the free-look mode which makes targeting a bit easier; but unfortunately the free-look mode has a slight zoom, which means you'll have difficulties dealing with enemies at closer range. | | | To some of you who are use to more open spaces after playing those wide open FPS's like Halo, MoH: AA, etc., you might find the areas in The Thing a bit claustrophobic. |

| | IGN: The Thing Review |
| | And then there is the big momma of them all, the three-headed, tree-like "thing" that players confront in their first boss fight. | | | They'll instantly shoot when aliens appear, they'll do things when asked, they occasionally get in the way of your line of fire, and you may peg them by accident, after which they'll say, "Watch where you're shooting!" and move to another location. | | | One of the game's smaller problems is that it's clear the designers had to fudge the whole blood test thing. |

| | CPC GAME REVIEWS - T |
| | The graphics tell you instantly that this game is a Spectrum port, and Thing moves at such a snail-like pace that the aim of the game seems to be to try to stay awake. | | | Not only are the jigsaw pieces scattered around in some of the most out-of-the-way corners of the Goblin's lair, but Thing has one of the hardest-to-control jumps in gaming history. | | | Now this is no easy task, as not only is the game immense, and not only are there typically weird bad guys everywhere, but also Thing, only being able to jump, is one of the hardest game characters ever to control! |

| | She's Got a Thing for a Spring review |
| | The failure to really fill out Bob's background is a weakness, yes, but even so, he does such a remarkable amount of things and reacts to such a remarkable amount of stimuli that one can only wonder at the amount of code that went into him. | | | The rest of the game doesn't quite live up to the setting, unfortunately, but She's Got a Thing... | | | The main problem with all this is that, apart from a few things right at the beginning, you're largely confined to typing Z endlessly--there are undoubtedly a wide variety of things to ask Bob about, but they slow down his various chores, and even those run out after a while. |

| | The Thing - PC |
| | Doing things like taking a blood test in front of them will allay their fears, and giving them a weapon so that they can cap you if you're an alien also will calm them down. | | | It's not the Thing from the Fantastic Four, but instead is a video game based off of the 1981 horror film, John Carpenter's The Thing. | | | What it really wants to do is take over the planet by assimilating everything it can, but seeing as how it lives in Antarctica, all it mostly does is stay frozen, like an Evil Popsicle. |

| | icCoventry - Maureen Spring on a Monday |
| | I have to admit, I smoked a lot when young (multi-coloured cocktail Sobranies, flat Passing Clouds, un-tipped Players always in a holder - it was a fashionable thing to do) but once babies came along I stopped. | | | So, first thing last Wednesday morning I stood in the garden, puffed away for five soothing minutes, not enjoying it very much as I don't usually smoke so early in the morning, then I turned round and with genuine determination, threw my remaining four king-size into the bin. | | | Must be a comfort thing - some unwind with a box of chocolates, I fondle a fag. |

| | The Thing Review - Xbox |
| | The Thing is not so much a shooter game ; though those elements are in abundance nor is it a role-playing game, although it boasts elements akin to that genre. | | | The Thing, a Xbox release from Black Label Games and Universal Interactive, has all the elements that make an action-adventure/role-playing game intriguing, entertaining, and scary. | | | The Thing is a qualified hit, and anyone who doesn’t mind the level of violence, gore and blood will find this an addicting experience. |

| | When I heard that entertainment titan Universal was working on a game based on one of their classic movies, I couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be another member of the "Hall of Shame", or if it was finally going to give us hope for the future of movie-to-games conversions. | | | Universal is a serious company with serious intentions, and "The Thing" is one of its best films, but can a good, innovative game come out of it? | | | It is quite possibly the most gruesome display of violence since Resident Evil - and if you liked that sort of thing, you won't be disappointed. |

| | Like the comedian’s earlier work, including the hit series “Mad About You” and the books “Couplehood” and “Babyhood,” THE THING ABOUT MY FOLKS is rooted in the pitchperfect detail that immediately captures what is funny and real about human relationships. | | | For one thing, the elder Kleinman, a retired salesman, lives in New Jersey and isn’t in the habit of loitering in Manhattan; for another, he has come without his wife. | | | Bonnie is the sister that everybody forgets to tell things to, and Hillary is the youngest sister, a little flaky. |

| | Just to put things in perspective for you before I get into my thoughts on this film, I am only 20 years old and have grown up in the era of CGI, blue screen effects...and this movie was made around the same time i was born. | | | With that said, WOW, I only recently saw John Carpenter's version of 'The Thing', and what a masterpiece it truly is. I have long since been a fan of John Carpenter, in particular his works from the late 70's and 80's. | | | The 'Thing' itself is a truly horrifying and disturbing creation...unlike any alien you have ever seen in a movie before. |
