First Impressions: Sniper Elite VR

Comic Book Review: Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1
As part of Marvel’s series of specials (following an issue celebrating diversity in general, another with a focus on Indigenous characters and creators, plus a third which put the spotlight […]
Board Game Preview: Top Pop
Though carbonated drinks have, somewhat surprisingly, been around since the 1700s and flavoured fizzy beverages date back to at least the 1800s, it wasn’t until mass production processes were pioneered […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: [lock-on] Volume 1
Though mass market, large scale print video games media is an industry that’s a shell of its former self, there’s an awful lot of passion, creativity and talent in the […]
Preview: Roots of Pacha
With a Kickstarter funding campaign days away from launch and the game’s Steam page now live (so you can add the game to your wishlist right now!), I thought it […]
Comic Book Review: Fresh Romance #1
Though I’d normally provide a respite from the all pervasive influence of special days, I regret to inform you that I’m jumping on the bandwagon for today’s post, with the […]
Film Review: Mulan (2020)
I was 21 when the original, animated Mulan movie was released; far too cool for those Disney cartoons. They’re for kids, right? It’d take until the release of Tarzan in […]
Book Review: Pirates: Dead Men’s Tales
If you’ve been keeping up with my blog recently, you’ll know that I’ve been sailing the seven seas quite often in the last few months – and I’ve been increasingly […]
Comic Book Review: The Sexton Blake Special
You can purchase the Sexton Blake Special directly from Rebellion here. When I decided that I was going to purchase and review all of the Specials that Rebellion published this […]
Comic Book Review: ‘Twas the Night Before Krampus
Who knew old jolly Saint Nick was such a badass? In this one-shot comic book, St. Nicholas is a grizzled, tired defender of Christmas – all too happy to perpetuate […]
Film Review: Overlord (2018)
It’s Halloween, which means I’ve gone way outside my comfort zone for the last time this month and watched another horror movie. Despite being an absolute wimp when it comes […]
Preview: Crowalt: Traces of the Lost Colony
Due for release in the 2nd quarter of 2021, Crowalt: Traces of the Lost Colony is a point and click adventure that taps into the classic spirit of LucasArts titles from the 80s and 90s. It has all of the elements you’d expect: charming pixel art, wonderful animation, a humourous script and pirates. Lots of pirates. The story sees young […]
Comic Book Review: Judge Dredd Megazine #424
2000AD’s sister title, the Judge Dredd Megazine, reaches an incredible milestone this month with the release of issue 424, which celebrates the publication’s 30th anniversary. It’s incredibly impressive considering how […]
Comic Book Review: Aquila: Blood of the Iceni
2000AD has a reputation for hard-hitting, violent stories that pull no punches, though these are often dressed up in fantasy or futuristic clothes. Aquila is a little different, given that it takes place in a historical setting that takes its cues from real events and even features genuine historical and religious figures. That’s not to say that the fantastical elements […]
Comic Book Review: 2000AD Sci-Fi Special 2020
Since I watched superb documentary Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD, I’ve been making an effort to finally work my way through the 2000AD and Judge Dredd comics that I’d […]
Indiegogo Spotlight: The Epics of Enkidu
It’s not often that I feature crowdfunding campaigns here, but this one is – in my opinion – deserving of a bit more publicity, especially as I have autism myself; it’s rare that autism spectrum disorder is treated respectfully, positively or by people who genuinely have close experience with the condition. Essentially a sequel to the oldest known story in […]
