Video Game, Board Game, Comic Book & Movie Reviews – and more!
I distinctly remember missing the broadcast of the very first episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in the UK; I was out playing with friends while it was on and we were all extremely jealous of the talk in the playground the next day, having not been able to witness what we were told was an absolutely […]
This is a bit of a weird one for me. I have very rarely – in my 43 plus a bit years on this planet – had any interest in sports at all, so consequently I never really read Roy of the Rovers, a comic featuring the eponymous football (sorry, that’s soccer for my American readers) player, who played for […]
No sooner has Alien Day come and gone than the next sci-fi movie themed day arrives. Both the Alien and Star Wars franchises are very dear to me, with Star […]
I’m a bit weird when it comes to music. I struggle with most songs that have lyrics, mostly because I find them so hard to ‘hear’ unless I know what’s […]
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, […]
I’ve had a quiet week in gaming terms. With an awful lot on my plate in other areas, it was inevitable that something was going to suffer – and, unfortunately, […]
Not being able to afford an Xbox when it was first released – being the owner of a Dreamcast, PS2 and GameCube at the time Microsoft’s console came out in […]
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast’s launch in Europe – having launched in Japan in late ’98 and in the US on the 9th of September 1999. Being […]
I finished Gears of War again at the weekend (yep, Game Pass strikes again!). I hadn’t played it since the original release and, this time, I’d played the Ultimate Edition which adds in further stages, which previously only appeared in the PC version of the game. Not only that, but the whole game has been given a lick of paint […]
I’m a little late to the party on this one, considering it was the Dreamcast’s 20th birthday yesterday. Many people took the time yesterday to share memories of their favourite […]
As my previous arcade article went down so well, I thought I’d follow it up with another – especially as I ventured further out than Bournemouth at the weekend, ending […]
Version Played: Wii Current CEX Price: £1 I have a confession to make that may make me very unpopular indeed – I never really enjoyed the first three Driver games. […]
Format Played: XBox 360 Current CEX Price: 50p It’s fair to say that, once John Woo left Hong Kong in the early 90s, his movie output struggled to match the quality of his previous films. Though his first US film – the Jean-Claude Van Damme action vehicle Hard Target (in which Van Damme has the most spectacular wet look mullet) […]
Format Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £2.50 Yesterday, I covered entertainingly bonkers, Vin Diesel-starring, open-world GTA-wannabe The Wheelman. My conclusion? Definitely worth a try at the current price. Given […]
Format played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £1 I’m not going to lie – despite reaching my 100 consecutive daily article goal yesterday, it’s been a bit weird to consider […]
JJ Abrams wasn’t exactly an unknown quantity when MI:III was made, but he was far from the Hollywood behemoth he is today, love him or hate him (his output can be quite divisive, to say the least – though MI: III was actually his debut movie as director). He had been churning out super-spy TV show Alias for a number […]
