Gerard
Aquaman
What happens when a princess hates the man she is expected to marry and seeks comfort and refuge in the arms of a commoner? Well chances are the royal family will arrange a car “accident” but enough about the British Monarchy, we’re here to talk about how the Princess of Atlantis shacked up with a light house keeper and had a son who would one day bridge the worlds of land and sea. (What a bridge ...[Read More]
5 Video Game Heroes Who Aren’t That Heroic
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, particularly video game heroes. They can be tall muscular badasses, mute marsupials with a penchant for denim shorts or even a winged fire breathing lizard. Whatever their outward appearance they are heroes one and all, but every now and then we get a video game protagonist that isn’t all that heroic, I know right? Shocking! Here are 5 such instances. Kr...[Read More]
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
Prequels are tricky for a number of reasons; they risk disrupting cannon or affording the wrong subject matter too much real estate. I mean just look at the Star Wars prequels and the Hobbit films, but if there was ever a writer/screen-writer I trusted to do it right, it’s J.K Rowling. And it seems that trust is well founded as The Crimes of Grindelwald is a wonderful continuation of the series. T...[Read More]
GRIP: Combat Racing
You could be forgiven for thinking that the world of GRIP: Combat Racing is nothing but a post-apocalyptic future where only cars and explosions have survived. But I looked it up and to my surprise there is a story buried somewhere amidst all the vehicular carnage. Something about illegal street racing, black market TV subscriptions and corruption, but we’re not here for story. No, we’re here to r...[Read More]
The Predator
To be honest I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I heard about this movie, it seems to be the Hollywood norm at the minute to take an established franchise and either reboot it or make a quasi-sequel. Either way for the most part they aren’t great (cough) Robocop 2014, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Terminator Genisys (cough), you get my point. So believe me when I say I certainly wasn’t expect...[Read More]
5 Great Movies Based On Video Games
Try as they might those Hollywood guys just can’t get this whole “Video Game Movie” thing right, well that’s only if you’re one of those people that doesn’t know how to have fun. While it’s true there hasn’t been a video game movie that’s Oscar worthy, that doesn’t mean they’re all terrible. Don’t get me wrong, most of them are complete garbage, but every now and then one will come along that exce...[Read More]
5 Times Superman Has Killed
I was re-watching Man of Steel recently with a friend and he asked me if, as a huge Superman fan, it bothered me that they had him kill in his latest incarnation. And like the insane nerd I am I took this opportunity to unleash all the pent up Superman knowledge I had upon this poor misguided soul, for you see, Superman has and does kill. While he absolutely abhors killing, he is not so arrogant t...[Read More]
5 Games You’ll Want to Replay For Years To Come – Part 2
Last month around this time we asked you, the readers, to participate in a poll to find out what games you enjoy playing over and over. The response was so great that we decided to split the blog in two. So, four weeks and a shit ton of procrastination later, here is part two of 5 games you’ll want to replay for years to come. Tekken 3 We humans are a simple species, ever since we discovere...[Read More]
God of War
You would have a hard time convincing people that the way Kratos goes about things in the previous God of War games resembles anything close to reasonable. But I got the feeling, we weren’t meant to take him seriously and simply enjoy the cathartic violence. So, when this new God of War sauntered onto our screens with a new family and a more reserved attitude I was somewhat puzzled. You’ve killed ...[Read More]
Avengers: Infinity War
The original plan was to review Avengers Infinity War as soon as I’d seen it, but that was before I was bombarded with emotions. Having seen it twice since then, I now feel like I can write a review without bursting into tears at the thought of having to wait a whole fucking year for the sequel! Avengers Infinity War is set not long after the events of Thor: Ragnarok, and it would appear that inte...[Read More]
5 Games You’ll Want to Replay For Years To Come
We asked you, the readers, to participate in this blog post because we wanted to know what games you enjoy playing. And also, because I am a monumentally lazy person, and this means less work for me. Well the response has been great, so great in fact that I’m going to have to split this one in to two parts, so don’t worry if you don’t see your game mentioned this time around. Here are 5 games you’...[Read More]
5 Video Games That Almost Destroyed Their Franchises
We’ve talked in a previous list about games that have saved their respective franchises, but what about when the opposite happens? What if a video game is such an awful pile of fucked shite that to even associate them with their predecessors would be like pissing in the face of Santa Claus while clumsily attempting to flirt with Mrs Claus. Well for starters, you’ll end up in a blog post written by...[Read More]
