My Favourite Board Games of 2020
Though last year was an absolute nightmare for many of us, being stuck at home for long periods and needing to find ways of keeping ourselves entertained meant that conditions […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 8: The Rescue
The end of The Mandalorian’s second season really doesn’t mess around. Though even I – a Star Wars fan ever since I saw the original in the late 70s, whose […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 7: The Believer
Though I’ve had my issues with the second season of The Mandalorian – particularly how each episode seemed to settle into a very formulaic structure early on, as well as […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 6: The Tragedy
I’ve done my best to refrain from spoilers in my weekly reviews of The Mandalorian Season 2 so far, but it became incredibly difficult to remain too tight-lipped with last […]
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 […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 5: The Jedi
So far this season, I’ve been able to refrain from spoilers in all of my weekly reviews of The Mandalorian. If you’ve been watching them so far, you’ll know that […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 4: The Siege
I’ve been complaining in the last few weeks that, although we’re getting some stunning, classic Star Wars action on a regular basis in The Mandalorian, season two so far has […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 3: The Heiress
With last week’s episode teetering on the precipice of horror – especially for arachnaphobes – it’ll be a relief for many viewers that we get a much more straightforward action […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 2: The Passenger
After last week’s bombshell final shot featuring that fan favourite character’s potential return, it’s perhaps a disappointment that we don’t see it pay off this week. In fact, not much […]
TV Review: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 1: The Marshal
The first season of The Mandalorian was a genuine surprise; a live action Star Wars show that made great use of the universe’s settings and lore which didn’t lean on […]
TV Review: The Toys That Made Us
I reviewed a single episode of Netflix series The Toys That Made Us recently (the one covering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and found it to be full of interesting details about how the turtles became such a phenomenon. What I found most intriguing was just how much of what we know about the franchise – what we perhaps take as […]
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 […]
