Justice League
It’s finally here, after years of waiting and many nights spent chanting “please don’t suck” in front of my Superman shrine (not a creepy shrine, it’s very tasteful), the Justice League movie is here, and it would seem that all that time spent praying has paid off, because it doesn’t suck, in fact it’s awesome. Yes, while he may have been late to the game it seems that Joss Whedon is the Rumpelsti...[Read More]
Batman and Harley Quinn
It’s no secret that DC are pretty, let’s be diplomatic and say hit & miss, with their movies, Wonder Woman of course kicked ass, Man of Steel was merely okay, and the less said about Dawn of Justice the better. However, this has never been an issue for most fans of DC because despite the lack lustre big screen adaptations we always had the animated movies and TV shows to fall back on, that was...[Read More]
Thor: Ragnarok
Well, the god of thunder is back, sporting a new hairdo and sans his magic hammer, so now Thor must discover what he is without it, his “journey through the desert” if you will. You may be thinking this sounds like the first movie, where he lost Mjolnir and journeyed through an actual desert, but trust me it’s very different. The plot of Thor: Ragnarok is set roughly two years after “The Battle of...[Read More]
Injustice 2
Dear me, it has been a while since I have made a game don the assless shame chaps and assume the position, so I would like to say thank you to Injustice 2 for that at least. Yes, never let it be said that Warner Bros. games won’t take a fun concept, make it dress like a horse, ride said horse until it’s dead and then proceed to beat it until it stops spewing money from every orifice. Well that pr...[Read More]
Mantis Burn Racing: Battle Cars DLC
The fine folks over at VooFoo Studios are back with another round of DLC for their awesome racing game Mantis Burn Racing. But this time it seems their no longer content with new racing tracks and new vehicles, no this time they’ve decided they want to strap machine guns and mines to armoured cars and have players fight for victory, Mad Max style. Battle Cars is the brand-new combat racing DLC pac...[Read More]
Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle
Spy movies have never really been my thing, I watched the odd James Bond movie but never really got into them, something about them just made me switch off, I think it’s because they try so hard to be taken seriously, when their subject matter is so ridiculous. Not Kingsman though, it knows it’s premise is insane and it will happily revel in that fact. The plot of Kingsman 2 is set roughly a year ...[Read More]
IT
If you have read my review of Outlast or watched any of our Resident Evil 7 Let’s Plays, then you will know that I do not handle horror very well. I mean I love horror but sometimes it’s hard to tell if it loves me back or just wants to skin me and wear me to a barn dance, so obviously I was the perfect choice to attend the preview screening of IT. Derry, 1989, a town with many unresolved missing ...[Read More]
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
I finished playing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice last night and I sat watching the credits, taking it all in, the story, the characters and the gameplay and all I could think was “Wow”. There aren’t many games that can leave me speechless (mainly because I won’t shut up), but this one did, so let’s get on with the review so I can get back to it and earn the platinum trophy (I’m only one away!...[Read More]
Atomic Blonde
I remember watching the trailer for Atomic Blonde and thinking “man, this movie is going to be great, Charlize Theron was awesome in Mad Max, and now she’s a kick ass spy!”, but little did I know, that the trailer was the best the movie had to offer. Okay I’m being hyperbolic, but beyond a few good action scenes and a car chase there really wasn’t much of a film here, “fur coat and no knickersR...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age
I found myself in the pro camp when I heard about Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age, I had always liked the original as a kid and was eager to devote days of my life to it all over again as an adult, ready to grind enemies, beat hidden bosses and get lost in the well written story…..I said, get lost in the well written story….guys? Plot The plot of Final Fantasy XII takes place in the fictional land o...[Read More]
Power Rangers
When I first heard there would be a new Power Rangers movie based on the original characters, with the original story and the original Dino Zords I passed out because all the blood needed to remain conscious had rushed to my pants. Then came the first glimpse of the costumes and everything became underwhelming and flaccid, but I decided I would give it a chance because it’s still Power Rangers dam...[Read More]
Wonder Woman
As you all may have guessed (given the fact I co-founded a website dedicated to all things nerdy) I love comic books, especially superhero comics. As a former fat, ginger nerd who attended an all-boys catholic high school, I received my fair share of ass kicking’s from the “cool kids” and thus took solace in comics, there’s something comforting about picturing yourself as Batman, and beating the p...[Read More]
