Welcome to the 205 Live review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of cruiserweight action to get to before Summerslam arrives this Sunday.

In the latest installment of his Frightfest 2018 pre-festival preview series, host Stuart Wright talks Cult of Terror with the director Gustavo Leonel Mendoza.

Welcome to this week’s Lucha Underground review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have to talk about Kevin. Kevin’s a sicko. He killed John C. Reilly! Match #1: Matanza Cueto beat Saltador Matanza got another sacrifice in Saltador here. The idea is Matanza kills who-ever he beats, so Saltador is now dead. […]

You played a Street Demon in director Jason Lei Howden’s FrightFest favourite DEATHGASM. Is the New Zealand film community that small? I didn’t play a street demon; I am a street demon.

What year is this? Because I’m currently sat here playing a side-scrolling 16-bit style beat ’em-up featuring the legendary Italian filmmaking duo of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill… Are we sure this is 2018? It certainly doesn’t feel like it playing Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps And Beans. For those unaware Bud Spencer and […]

When I think about nuclear war (or at least the threat of it) in board games, the first examples that spring to mind are usually related to The Cold War, including Twilight Struggle and the like. Coming in to Minion Games’ The Manhattan Project 2: Minutes to Midnight and having never played the original, I […]

What first attracted you to actor Gregory Blair’s script? When Templeheart gave me the script of HERETIKS (although it was a different title at the time), the one thing that really grabbed my interest was the opportunity to do a creepy period horror, set in 17th Century England. I’d already shot a war-set film, a […]

Originally conceived as a VR experience on the PS4 and now ported to the Nintendo Switch, Megaton Rainfall is an amazing showcase for the developer’s clear talents but I did come away from the game feeling more impressed than sated. Quite a unique experience, Megaton Rainfall is a purely airborne 360° arcade shooter with some […]

Written by Andrew Cartmel | Art by Lee Sullivan | Published by Titan Comics Several story arcs in, and I finally bit the bullet and started to read the Rivers of London novels alongside the comics.

It feels like Okami hasn’t been so much released as gradually rolled out since its launch on PlayStation 2 in 2006. The Wii version followed a few months later; then the HD update came to last-gen consoles and PC; current-gen consoles last year; and now it has finally made its way to Nintendo Switch. The […]
