Mobile Game Review: A Lonely Alpaca
Version Played: Android – Price: Free (ad & donation supported) If it feels like only yesterday that I was talking about mobile games that can struggle to find an audience […]
Mobile Game Review: Lab Chaos
Available Now on iOS & Android – Free (in-app purchases available) There’s a real dismissal of mobile games as ‘not real games’ or as bottomless pits of monetisation, even among those in the gaming community who would usually be considered – or consider themselves – as very open minded. Though there is an awful lot of shovelware and titles designed […]
Review: OmoTomO
Version Played: Switch – Out Now (£8.99/$9.99) – Published by: Forever Entertainment Puzzle games can go one of two ways for me; they’re either extremely frustrating or incredibly compelling. I’m pleased to report that OmoTomO falls into the latter category. A puzzle game featuring two snake-like plant creatures trying to make their way to the pots filled with water in […]
Film Review: Jurassic Park III (2001)
Note: My reviews of Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park can be found here and here respectively. The original Jurassic Park was a revelation when it first released. The special effects were nothing short of astonishing and it really did push boundaries, breaking new ground in visual effects technology that unquestionably changed the way that films were made, […]
Review: Colin Thiele’s Storm Boy – The Game
Version Played: Xbox One – Also available on: Android, iOS, PS4, Switch, PC, Mac I hadn’t heard of Storm Boy before coming across the video game adaptation in an Xbox One sale, but the Australian novel it’s based on has been a perenially popular childrens book since its publication in 1966. It’s been adapted into a film twice – once […]
Film Review: Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Until recently, it had been a very long time since I’d last seen Frank Oz’s movie version of stage musical Little Shop of Horrors. The musical, based on a Roger […]
Film Review: A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon
I’m a big fan of Aardman, though wasn’t a massive fan of their last film – released in 2018 – Early Man (though it did have its moments and the […]
Board Game Review: Duelosaur Island
My dinosaur obsession – or, perhaps more specifically, my dinosaur theme park obsession, thanks to Jurassic World: Evolution – has spilled over from the TV screen to the tabletop, with two player board game Duelosaur Island being the latest way I’ve discovered to scratch that very particular itch. The little brother of critical and commercial darling, Dinosaur Island – a […]
Film Review: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
First things first: I hate that stupid title. It’s incredibly appropriate that the first time we see Jeff Goldblum’s character Dr. Ian Malcolm – the mathematician/chaos theorist who was so […]
Board Game Review: 5-Minute Dungeon
I love board games and I love Dungeons & Dragons, but as an adult with a full time job and other responsibilities, I don’t get enough leisure time to play […]
Review: Roll’d
Out: Now – Price: £1.79/$1.99 – Nintendo Switch A strange but oddly compelling little game, Roll’d dumps you into proceedings without telling you anything at all – your little character running along a pathway for…reasons. It takes a few seconds – and a few failures – to truly grasp what’s going on. You don’t control the character at all; in […]
Board Game Review: Little Battle
As regular readers will know – particularly those of you who read the blog over the Christmas period – I’m a big fan of board games, especially those that come […]
Film Review: Jurassic Park (1993)
I blame Jurassic World: Evolution. I’ve been immersing myself in the creation of dinosaurs and the running of multiple theme parks for weeks on end, which has led to me […]
Weekly Round Up
I seemed to cover an awful lot of ground this week; though it was at my usual pace of an article a day, it certainly felt as if I covered more than usual. So I wouldn’t blame you if you missed anything; it seems to me that it’s a good idea take a look at what I wrote about over […]
Review: Down to Hell
Version Played: Switch – Out Now – Price £8.99/$9.99 – Published by: Ultimate Games SA I always think that developers make their lives so much harder for themselves when creating […]
Film Review: The Addams Family (2019)
Mission Impossible aside, I don’t think there’s ever been another franchise so closely associated with a TV theme tune as The Addams Family, at least not one that’s so immediately […]
