Comic Book Review: Transformers ’84: Secrets & Lies #3
With Megatron and Shockwave missing, the Decepticons have a power vacuum that several key players are keen to take advantage of. Falling over themselves to seize control, the brutal regime […]

Review: Jurassic World: Evolution DLC – The Secrets of Dr. Wu
It feels very timely to be writing this article today, mere hours after filming for the third film in the Jurassic World trilogy – the title for which has now been revealed as Jurassic World: Domination – has started.

Mobile Game Review: I Want To Go To Mars
Note: I Want To Go To Mars is released on the 26th of February 2020. I played a pre-release build of the game but will update my review if there […]
Board Game Review: Jurassic Park: Danger! Adventure Strategy Game
There’s a recent trend in the board games world that’s seen classic movies adapted into tabletop form. Licensed games tend to have a very bad name, for good reason; they’re […]
Jurassic Park: The TL;DR Reviews
Since I started writing again last year, I’ve made a few attempts at going back to the beginning of a game or film series and reviewing each entry in turn; for whatever reason – usually issues with having a lack of time and/or interest – these attempts have always stalled. Reviewing an entire series felt a bit unattainable to me; […]
Film Review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Note: My reviews of the other films in the series can be found at these links: Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World. It took 22 years for there to be a truly satisfying sequel to the brilliant, groundbreaking Jurassic Park. When Jurassic World arrived in 2015, it had been 14 years since Jurassic […]
Film Review: Jurassic World (2015)
Note: My reviews for the first three films in the Jurassic Park series can be found here, here and here. There were four years between Jurassic Park and its first sequel, the awkwardly titled The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Another four years elapsed between that film and Jurassic Park III, which was long believed to be the last we’d […]
Board Game Review Round Up
I’ve just managed to get hold of the board game version of classic Atari arcade/console game Centipede, and it occurred to me – when discussing the game on Twitter – that it might be useful to round up some of the excellent board games I’ve already covered. The Centipede review is on the way soon, but for now – let’s […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Review: Jurassic World: Evolution
I realise that I’m very late to the party with this one but – having spent most of 2019 covering indie and retro games – I’ve realised that I hadn’t […]
First Impressions: Jurassic World: Evolution
Thanks to December’s Games with Gold freebies, I have finally downloaded and played Jurassic Park: Evolution. I may be a little addicted already… Review scores weren’t particularly high, so I […]
