TV Review: Star Trek: Lower Decks – Season One
We all know the stories of the Enterprise (in its various guises, eras and even timelines), but we rarely get a glimpse at the lesser vessels that aren’t boldly going […]
Comic Book Review: The Adventures of Pup & Grumpicorn
I’ve been on a bit of a roll with my comic book reading recently – and that looks set to continue thanks to the discovery of Comichaus – a more […]
Film Review: Wolf Children (2012)
Initially released in 2012 – with an English dub following in late 2013 – I’ve only just managed to watch Mamoru Hosoda’s wonderful animated movie, Wolf Children. Much like the […]
Review: Transformers: Battlegrounds
If you know me – or have read my articles for a while – you’ll know that I’m a huge Transformers fan. I’ve been a fan ever since they first […]
TV Review: The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
The original Star Wars Holiday Special was an unmitigated disaster. Quickly produced for TV in 1978 – just a year after the first movie was released – it was a […]
Review: Hidden Through Time
Tapping into the same addictive character spotting, scene scanning fun that you get from the Where’s Wally (or Waldo, if you’re across the Atlantic) books, Hidden Through Time is a […]
Review: Battletoads (2020)
The original Battletoads – which was released on Nintendo’s 8-bit console the NES back in 1991 – is infamously challenging, with a number of levels that are so tough that they can feel incredibly unfair at times – it’s a game that’s often fondly remembered until you try it again, at which point you realise how frustratingly difficult it is […]
Board Game Review: Dungeon Mayhem: Monster Madness
My love for Dungeons & Dragons is well documented at this point. I’ve spoken many, many times about how my very first D&D set was the lovely Basic D&D starter set in its iconic red box edition in the mid-80s. Full of wonderfully bizarre and unique monsters such as the Gelatinous Cube and Owlbear – alongside more ‘standard’ creatures such […]
Review: Sewer Rave
Available on itch.io Is it ok to post a review if you’ve played a game for ages and still don’t know what you’re doing? Is it ok to write a review if you’ve spent a decent amount of time on a game and you don’t even know what’s going on? I pondered these questions – and others – after sinking […]
Review: Pikuniku
Version Played: Xbox One I fell in love with Pikuniku as soon as I saw the wonderfully colourful, stylised visuals and bouncy animation. Thankfully, there’s a lot more to Pikuniku than meets the eye. Awaking in a cave and emerging to find yourself in a place where your little red character is feared as ‘The Beast’, Pikuniku sees you escaping […]
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 […]
Board Game Review: Rhino Hero
Unofficially, this week seems to have become board game week for me; after writing a few board game focused reviews, I thought it’d be a good idea to continue spotlighting […]
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem
I wasn’t a Daft Punk fan at first. Their first album – Homework – just felt way too repetitive; it sounded like a collection of songs built to dance to […]
Batman: The Brave and the Bold – DS
Based on a cartoon that was broadcast between 2008-2011, Batman: The Brave and the Bold (which released in 2010) takes the show’s concept of featuring a different super hero team up in each episode and turns it into a fun, straightforward platformer with a few neat touches. The cartoon series was excellent; many episodes featured a pre-credits scene which quickly […]
