Star Wars Rogue One
This will probably be one of the more controversial reviews we’ve done in a while, I feel I need to explain just how big a fan of Star Wars I am. I am a huge Star Wars nerd; I love all the movies, the video games, the comics and the novels, hell I even enjoyed the prequel trilogy. So I hope that lets you know how bad this movie had to suck in order for me to dislike it. Plot The plot of Rogue One ...[Read More]
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Fantastic beasts and where to find them is the latest instalment from J.K Rowling, set in the Harry Potter universe many years before the boy with the lightning scar, follow the tale of Newt Scamander and his endeavour to learn more about magical creatures. Plot Fantastic beasts and where to find them follows the adventures of Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, an eccentric and introverted ...[Read More]
Super Dungeon Bros
So I got my review code for Super Dungeon bros last week and I have to admit so far I have been under whelmed. I had a few issues with it when I first starting playing but once I got past the first few problems, I was hit in the face with more. Gameplay The gameplay in Super Dungeon Bros is pretty straight forward, you progress through a dungeon defeating enemies, and with each level you clear it ...[Read More]
Harmonquest
To anyone who has never played Dungeons and Dragons, watching a bunch of people essentially sitting at a table playing D&D might sound like one of the most boring things ever and anyone that has played it would probably agree. But HarmonQuest is much more entertaining than you’d think. Each episode is an hour-long session that has been cut down to 20-minutes, this heavy editing, some railroadi...[Read More]
The Accountant
So I just got back from the press screening for The Accountant, and I have to say, that I was blown away by this film. I hadn’t heard much about it, hell; I didn’t even watch the trailer, so I didn’t know what to expect from it, I will however say I know what I didn’t expect. I did not expect Maths Batman. Plot So the plot surrounds Christian Wolff (played by Ben Affleck), who is a forensic accoun...[Read More]
Final Fantasy VII
So, with news of Final Fantasy VII finally getting a remake, I felt it was time to dust off the PlayStation One, dig out my old copy and replay it for the 20th time. But then I thought to myself, “bollocks to that, it’s the future!”, so I downloaded to my PSP, so I could play it on the go and quite frankly, it hasn’t been out of my hands. You see Final Fantasy games require a lot of your time, (we...[Read More]
Dr Strange
Dr Strange is Marvels latest block Buster, now; I freely admit that there is a gap in my Nerd Knowledge when it comes to the “Sorcerer Supreme”. I’m not completely unfamiliar with him, while I haven’t read any of the comics he stars in, I did see the 2007 animated movie, which I really enjoyed. On the bright side, this does allow me to review the movie as John Everyman. Without the bias that being...[Read More]
Jessica Jones
Be warned I’m going into spoiler territory here, but frankly if you haven’t watched Jessica Jones yet then I don’t care about your feelings and you can’t come to my birthday party. Seriously go watch this show, even if you’re not a fan of the superhero genre. The plot Our story is about Jessica Jones played by Krysten Ritter, a female private eye with super strength and durability. Rather than da...[Read More]
Mantis Burn Racing
This change of direction really works for them, they’ve designed a fun little racing game featuring various tracks and challenges. Like most racing games you can choose from a selection of cars, but first you must unlock them by completing races or challenges. I liked this aspect of the game, mainly because it felt more satisfying to earn better vehicles rather than have them all available from th...[Read More]
Tarik (Issue 1)
Thus far I have only had the pleasure of reading the first issue of Tarik so a full review is always difficult but like the professional I am (Fuck you, I am) I persevered . The Plot Tarik is set in “the Kingdom of Altair” and follows the story of a young boy named Tarik, a member of the iron district. He is left orphaned as a boy when his mother, “Grania” and his father (unnamed), are killed by m...[Read More]
Telltale’s Batman
I’ve played the majority of video games starring Batman, the Arkham games being a particular favourite. So when Telltale announced that they would be doing a new game involving the caped crusader, I must admit I had a happy trouser moment. At present, there are only two episodes out, like most Telltale games “Batman” is episodic. I have nothing against episodic games as a whole; I just wish we ha...[Read More]
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
First of all I must state that I’m not a huge Tim Burton fan; other than his two Batman movies I haven’t seen much else of his work. Not because his stuff doesn’t appeal to me, I’ve just never really watched much of it. However, this film feels different; almost like a new direction for Tim Burton. The story follows Jacob “Jake” Portman, a 16 year old boy who has been brought up ...[Read More]
