‘The Booth at the End: The Complete Series 1 & 2’ Review

When it comes to television shows, a lot tend to follow a successful formula. In the cutthroat world where shows have to survive year to year, it seems that “different” can be a risk not worth taking. However The Booth at the End is different and with the release of the show on DVD we […]

‘The Tunnel: Sabotage’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

With the release of The Tunnel, it had a big job to do. Being the remake of The Bridge, it had to make it out of the Nordic Noir show’s shadow.

‘Overwatch’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

Overwatch is a game that I feel I am somewhat obsessed with right now. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, becoming jealous of the people lucky enough to be in the Closed Beta. Then when the Open Beta came around I played it on both PC and PlayStation 4 finding it fun […]

‘Total War: Warhammer’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

I’ve always been a fan of the Total War games, but found myself drifting away from them after Empire: Total War. As a fantasy fan though, Total War: Warhammer pulled me back in somewhat, especially with the trailers which showed the epic battles of humanity and the creatures of the Old World. Was this a […]

‘Doom’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

There are probably people in the gaming world that don’t understand the importance of Doom and the way it changed the face of shooting games. Sure, Wolfenstein 3D may have been the first, but it was merely a prototype of what was to come. With this in mind, does the new Doom live up to […]

I’ve often said that I find the history WWE Blu-Ray releases the best, so when one was released celebrating the US Championship I was obviously looking forward to it.

Anime can make anything fun, there is just so much energy in it that you can become intoxicated by its nature, and its often manic style.
