Video Game, Board Game, Comic Book & Movie Reviews – and more!
Having checked out the promising-looking indie title Witchery Academy for a preview last year, I can safely say that it’s one of my most anticipated upcoming titles. With a focus […]
Both party games and dexterity games tend to get a bad rap from ‘serious’ board game players, but there’s definitely merit in both types of game in many cases; for […]
Though hugely popular – in thanks due to its superb visual design and excellent production values – I’ve never really been a fan of TeeTurtle’s Unstable Unicorns. It’s a straightforward […]
Though last year was an absolute nightmare for many of us, being stuck at home for long periods and needing to find ways of keeping ourselves entertained meant that conditions […]
Though it’s a bit of a strange time for me to be reviewing a comic released for Easter, I’ve been determined to cover every one of the Rebellion Specials released […]
Nathan W. Pyle’s Strange Planet webcomic has had a meteoric rise to popularity, considering it only launched on Instagram – of all places – in February 2019. It’s not hard […]
Minecraft is a genuine phenomenon; since the paid alpha released in 2009 – before the first full release in November 2011 – the game has sold 200 million copies and […]
Note: A slightly different version of this review was first published on JumpCut Online. Zombie Kidz Evolution is a sequel to the 2013 board game Zombie Kidz, which I must […]
We all have that one gateway game that piqued our interest and showed us a world of possibility beyond the roll-and-move simplicity of mainstream board games. Mine was The Settlers […]
Available now from 2000AD.com, with free UK postage on week of release The fourth and final all-ages 2000AD issue of the year is here – and it once again makes […]
Regular readers of the blog – and my Twitter followers – can’t have failed to notice that I’ve been covering an awful lot of 2000AD-related material over the past few months. It started on my birthday, when I purchased a copy of the latest Judge Dredd Megazine as a treat to myself; it wasn’t long before thrill-power took over once […]
I honestly don’t know why I do this to myself. After covering three brilliant, incredibly clever, fourth wall breaking games in the Exit series, I’m now onto the fourth – The Stormy Flight. It’s ridiculously hard to write a review of the Exit games, because the puzzles and even the box itself can contain spoilers. They are, however, worth covering […]
Every time I write about a game in the Exit: The Game series of escape-room-at-home type experiences, I’m setting myself a ridiculous challenge. How on earth do I talk about it without spoiling the contents or giving away what clever little puzzles lay within this particular box of fiendish challenges? If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know […]
I’ve written about the Exit games before, but never about a specific game from the rather extensive range that’s currently available. There’s a reason for that; as Escape Room-esque experiences that you can only play once, they rely on players knowing as little as possible before they start the game. This makes it extremely difficult to talk about each one […]
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 […]
