  • The Curious Case of Boba Fett’s Newfound Honour

    One of many of the arguments I hate in the Star Wars fandom is the whole “the new creatives are betraying the legacy characters” nonsense. A classic character is featured in a new story, either too little or too much depending on who you ask, and it doesn’t exactly...
  • Pumpkin Jack 1280x720

    Pumpkin Jack Review (Xbox Series S)

    PUMPKIN JACK REVIEW (XBOX SERIES S)   Pumpkin Jack, from singular/lone developer Nicolas Meyssonnier, tries to kickstart a resurgence of classic 3D platformers, and it’s not a terrible attempt at doing so either. It’s only a matter of time before we’ll see a tidal wave of 3D platformers, and...
  • Does No Time To Die Make Spectre Better or Worse?

    Daniel Craig’s James Bond films may form a single connected story arc but the transitions between films are rarely smooth. In a way, No Time to Die is a direct sequel to Spectre, but the two films ultimately offer vastly different approaches to the style, storytelling, and tone of...
  • I Conquered My Son A Kingdom And Now He Hates My Guts

    As the recently crowned King of Bohemia I was presented with a golden opportunity; the sort that you don’t turn down. Not only did I have the means and manpower to conquer the neighbouring Kingdom of Hungary but the powerful allies I could call upon would ensure an overwhelming...
  • Deathloop Always Has One More Mystery, Even After Earning the Platinum

    The joy of Deathloop comes from discovery. Discovery of your targets and a way to manipulate them into appearing at the right place at the right time. Discovery of a back entrance, a hidden grate, an open window to sneak into a place of tactical advantage. Discovery of a...
  • My Hero Academia

    I have set my stall out a few times in various pieces of writing that I believe in the “less is more” philosophy of creation. From books, to films, to video games, to music, no matter what the medium – less is often more. You want to leave your...
  • The Twins is Star Wars at its Most Joyously Bonkers

    By its very nature, Star Wars: Visions was always destined to be a mixed bag. Seven Japanese animation studios given the keys to the franchise and allowed to play with whichever toys they want, experiment with the tropes, characters, and visuals, canon be damned. Some are fascinating to watch,...
  • Amazon’s New World

    “I landed on an island and it’s a New World. Familiar, sure, but different too. I got a thousand problems but corruption ain’t one. I have no idea who anyone is but I’m having fun. Mining ore and being mauled by bears. My musket shots echo loud like the...
  • What’s Next For James Bond After No Time To Die?

    No Time to Die does what no James Bond film has dared do before it. After almost three hours of lovingly playing into the outlandish tropes that defined the series’ past, the film ends posing an almighty question regarding its future. James Bond is dead. Not in a fake-out...
