  • The Hunt For The Dragon Balls Begins Anew

    How can you tell that you’ve spent too much money on something? It’s easy. When it arrives with a certificate of authenticity… I’ve never owned anything that has a certificate of authenticity before so it came as a bit of a surprise to be honest. It’s my own fault...

    Monster Sanctuary Review (Switch)

    Over the Christmas period there wasn’t a game I played more than Monster Sanctuary.

  • My Hopes for Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

    With the success of The Mandalorian and the announcement of countless other series in the works, the future of Star Wars is streaming. Yet a couple of those old-fashioned motion pictures they used to have in the olden days are also being developed, starting with Rogue Squadron in 2023....
  • Harley Quinn’s Finest Hour (or 22 minutes)

    I’ve never really liked Harley Quinn.
