‘Warhammer: Chaosbane’ Review (PS4)

by Britt Roberts

In February, myself and a couple of friends played Diablo 3 from start to finish on a hard difficulty setting in a challenge for the awesome charity Special Effect (check them out, they do amazing work) and so I really got my fill of the isometric hack and slash genre for a while. Warhammer: Chaosbane […]

The Retro Replay Live Experience @ MCM – May 2019

by Xenia Grounds

I remember watching the first episode of Retro Replay so clearly. I had just woken up at 7am on a Friday morning. Barely awake, I shuffled straight to the kitchen to make some coffee, grab breakfast, turned on a television and put on some Retro Replay. By the end of it, I was trying not […]

‘Among the Sleep’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Rupert Harvey

Krillbite Studios’ existential horror adventure Among the Sleep was originally released in 2014. This Enhanced Edition came to PC in 2017 and is now arriving on consoles. The enhancements include “new dialogue, better performance and visuals”; and while it has elements that betray its low-budget, early-gen origins, it is still an effective nightmare with an […]

eBuying Comics: Week 19

by Ian Wells

It is fair to say like Star Wars in the 70’s and Game of Thrones today, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were a pop culture phenomenon. Between 1984 when the comic debut and the mid 90’s the heroes in a half shell were everywhere. Comics, cartoons, movies, actions figures and pizza boxes. The humble beginnings to […]

Welcome to this review of 205 Live, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…some-thing. Actually, this might be okay. The cruiserweights usually deliver a good show, but who knows if that’s going to happen with Drake Maverick chasing after the 24/7 Title like a secretary pursuing a pigeon in their boss’s office […]

‘Tropico 6’ Review (PC)

by Matthew Smail

No-one (and I mean no-one) is as big a fan of the Tropico series as I am. From the delightfully infectious salsa music that perfectly captures both the Latin setting and the mischievously tongue-in-cheek nature of Kalypso’s twenty year old series to the lighthearted gameplay, I love almost everything about it. Despite this lifelong affection […]

MCM London Comic Con – May 2019: Event Report

by Xenia Grounds

You know the first sign that you’re heading in the correct direction for Comic Con? It’s normally seeing a train full of cosplayers and it’s one of the only times where you can strike up a conversation with a group of strangers without that typical British awkwardness. I have missed Comic Con since October and […]

Feature: All Elite Wrestling – A Brand New World!

When WCW closed its doors all the way back in 2001 it was a huge day in the history of pro-wrestling. It was the day that the BIG TWO wrestling companies in the world became the BIG ONE. WWE had survived the “Monday Night Wars” and the battle between Ted Turner’s WCW and Vince McMahon’s […]

‘The Last Door: Complete Edition’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Britt Roberts

I have a distant sense that I played The Last Door upon its original PC release several years ago, albeit briefly. I’m not sure why I didn’t play it through at the time but I’m definitely glad I revisited it on the Switch as its ‘low-res, high suspense’ (brilliant tag-line) approach really works and creates […]
