Comic Book Review: Abyssal Albion #3

Film Review: The Bob’s Burgers Movie (2022)
Though I’ve never disclosed this on my blog, I’m a huge fan of Bob’s Burgers. An animated sitcom featuring a family who run a burger restaurant, it’s full of relatable […]

Review: Deeeer Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game (Xbox Series X)
It’s definitely not your Average Everyday Deer Game, no matter what Deeeer Simulator’s subtitle may try to assure you. That much is obvious not just from the overuse of the […]
Comic Book Review: Napoleon Dynamite: Impeach Pedro
Ever since I first saw Napoleon Dynamite (on a plane coming back from E3 in 2005, laughing very loudly throughout its running time – when it was clear that no […]
Film Review: Mandy (2018)
You can often judge a Nicolas Cage movie purely on the basis of how frequent and intense his freakout scenes are – as well as how well they fit with the tone of the film in general. In that sense – as well as in many others – Mandy is an unqualified success. It’s a pretty extreme film from a […]
Comic Book Review: The Thirteenth Floor: Home Sweet Home
When I was growing up in the 80s, I was absolutely fascinated with horror and gruesome imagery. I was watching and reading content that should have been, in hindsight, way […]
Review: Donut County
I find myself increasingly bored by big scale, so-called triple-A open world collectathons in which the entire experience is diluted by endless icons dotted around gargantuan, intimidating maps. Most of […]
Review: Sewer Rave
Available on itch.io Is it ok to post a review if you’ve played a game for ages and still don’t know what you’re doing? Is it ok to write a review if you’ve spent a decent amount of time on a game and you don’t even know what’s going on? I pondered these questions – and others – after sinking […]

Another title that’s part of the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (which now contains over 1700 items for a $5 minimum – and ends tomorrow), Windosill is a gentle puzzle game that sees you poking, pulling, pushing, twisting and prodding different objects in order to open the way for a car to move to the next of the […]
TV Review: Vic & Bob’s Big Night Out
Though I didn’t quite get the scattershot, mile-a-minute surrealism of Vic Reeves Big Night Out immediately – in my defence, I was a young lad, aged about 12 – by the time that Vic and Bob switched from late night Channel 4 to the BBC with their second series, The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, I was completely converted. A […]
Review: Bug Academy
Version Played: Switch (also available on PC) – Price: £11.69/$12.99 – Published by: Ultimate Games Every now and then, a game comes along which really surprises you. Not always in a good way of course. Thankfully, Bug Academy is a game that surprises for the right reasons. A game about different types of insects working their way through lessons at […]
Game Pass Adventures
It’s time for another one of my semi-regular looks at what’s become an absolutely essential service for me – Xbox Game Pass. I know it’s something I go on about […]
Preview Update: Pecaminosa
I’ve covered Pecaminosa before, but wanted to spotlight it again; it’s a hugely promising indie title that’s coming to PC this year. Described as a pixel noir RPG, it’s got a wonderful sense of style, with a wide range of influences including LA Noire, Fallout and Grim Fandango. It looks like a great mix of noir, RPG mechanics and surrealism […]
