Review: Stars Rush
Available on itch.io (works in browser and on mobile) There’s nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary about Stars Rush. It’s a cute little game – that’ll work in your browser or just […]
Weekly Round-Up
Just as yesterday was the first time in a long time that I’ve looked at my recent Game Pass Adventures, I’ve not done a round up of my articles for quite a while either. It’s always useful for me to take a look back at what I’ve covered too, because I seem to be able to cover quite a bit […]
Board Game Review: Star Wars: Outer Rim
There some dangerous places in the Star Wars universe, wretched hives of scum and villainy populated by smugglers, bounty hunters and mercenaries. Though not strictly evil, these characters occupy a […]
Board Game Review: Star Wars: Empire vs Rebellion
I’m a few days late with this one, considering that Star Wars Day was on Monday – but I thought it was well worth covering anyway. A small card game with a surprising amount of theme and playability, Star Wars: Empire vs Rebellion is a relatively straightforward battle between two players for control of events that have occurred throughout the […]
May The Fourth Be With You
No sooner has Alien Day come and gone than the next sci-fi movie themed day arrives. Both the Alien and Star Wars franchises are very dear to me, with Star […]
Weekly Round-Up
It’s been a while since I’ve done a round up of articles, but I’ve covered quite a bit of ground this week and even managed to finish off the original Gears of War trilogy too. Thanks COVID-19! Alien Day Last Sunday was Alien Day, it being the date which matches the number designed to the planet under threat in 1986 […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian
When I first heard about The Mandalorian, I have to say I was concerned that a live action series simply wouldn’t be able to pull off a convincing dive into the Star Wars universe on a TV show budget. Not only that, but I felt that the focus on a Bona Fett-esque character would simply be looking to capitalise on […]
Film Review: Solo – A Star Wars Story (2018)
The risk of making huge budget movies can sometimes be a gamble worthy of beloved Corellian chancer Han Solo himself. However, there were – until recently – not many franchises more set for success than Star Wars, so a prequel movie covering the early years of Han Solo was seen as the closest thing there is in Hollywood to a […]
Bad Lip Reading: Star Wars Edition
As a bonus to pick you up after all yesterday’s disappointing gaming news, how about checking out Bad Lip Reading on YouTube? I am so late to the party for this. Though I’d seen a Bad Lip Reading video before – Redneck Avengers – and thought it was both clever and hilarious, I hadn’t stumbled upon their songs; one of […]
A Trip to the Arcade: Swanage
As my previous arcade article went down so well, I thought I’d follow it up with another – especially as I ventured further out than Bournemouth at the weekend, ending […]
Happy Star Wars Day!
Star Wars is one of those pop culture franchises that, for me, has always been around. My birth was perfectly timed for this; I arrived in the world just a few weeks after Star Wars did – though it didn’t arrive in the UK until I was a little over six months old. Pictured below is the queue around the […]
