Opinionated: What Are The Best Horror Movies to Watch Around Halloween?

by Chris Cummings

We’re fast approaching the season of good chills. The time of year where pumpkins are lit on porches around the world, where your local Starbucks is selling out of Pumpkin Spice, where bags of candy are being stocked up on by households awaiting trick or treaters, and… of course, where horror movies are given that […]

‘Little Town Hero’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Britt Roberts

Game Freak seem to be taking some flak for moving away from the Pokemon franchise, which they have been synonymous with for quite some time. In truth, Little Town Hero doesn’t deviate too far from the card-battling formula. With a surprisingly in-depth battle system and being set in a quaint, odd little village, it may […]

‘NXT UK’ Review (Oct 17th 2019)

by Nathan Favel

Welcome to this week’s NXT UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Less Than Zero is really depressing. Don’t do drugs. Also, don’t get too obsessed with eating just meat or just plants. Neither one on their own is healthy enough for a proper diet. Eat all of the food groups in […]

‘Valfaris’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Britt Roberts

Although I’m not an ardent fan of the genre (my personal tastes lean more towards prog-Rock that an all-out metal), games that focus heavily on the genre of metal can be very cool. From the cult classic Brütal Legend to the more recent Double Kick Heroes, sometimes the gameplay shines through and, with tongue firmly […]

‘Damnation: The Gothic Game’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

Nostalgia can be a funny thing. How many people look back on their childhood toys, favourite shows or even books, as an adult, and wonder why they seem to have aged so badly? Sometimes however, the magic remains, and the desire to share those happy memories with others takes over. The Gothic Game was a […]
