The fantasy genre is stuffed full of multi-part, grand epics that feature universe shattering politics, action and complex plots – with scores of characters in each saga to get to […]
Having previously covered newly launched PC title Solar Echoes: The Star Legation way back in 2020, it’s great to see that the game’s solo developer – the multi-talented Andy Mitchell […]
There’s more than one moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home that brought me to tears. It’s a rare film that can do that not just in tragic moments, but in […]
Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are the oddballs at the centre of the twisty goings-on in Disney Plus series, Only Murders in the Building. A self-aware, even self-referential […]
Though the cover of the 2021 Archie Halloween Spectacular proudly states that the comic features an all-new lead story within its pages, it’s not as if you can tell unless […]
It’s not often that a piece of narrative-based media – be it comic, film, book, game or anything else with a story attached – can truly surprise or shock, but […]
Making my way through the recent range of Alien tie-in novels has been fun, but I must admit that – more times than not – the books have been entertaining […]
It’s wonderful to see comic book companies as big as DC and Marvel – both owned by big, somewhat conservative corporations who quite often play it safe in terms of […]
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 […]

I was very taken with how well written the game was, as well as the variety on offer with the look and feel of the characters you interact with along the way. The Star Legation is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter […]
From time to time, I come across – or have my attention drawn to – some really promising projects in development. In this instance, Andy Mitchell – the creator of The Star Legation – reached out and asked me to check out the demo for his game. After taking the time to play through the generously sized demo, I’ve been […]
Though I’m not overly familiar with Star Trek comics, it seems to me that the Peter David-written Annual #3, published in 1988, is a bit of an oddity – given that it focuses so strongly on Scotty, a prominent and popular character, but not one who often gets to be the sole focus of a story. What’s also unusual is […]
Out now (Windows, macOS & Linux) – Price: Pay What You Want (Drop the developer a *insert local currency here* or two – it’s worth it!) Speed dating is something that has never appealed to me. I have enough awkwardness and anxiety when meeting a single person, let alone several in quick succession. So I can’t say how realistic speed […]
