‘Straight Outta Dudleyville: The Legacy of the Dudley Boyz’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If you are an old school fan of ECW there are certain factions and stars that tend to stand out. For me the Dudley Boyz were one such faction. In ECW, WWE, and beyond they created a pathway to destruction that has made them one of the best tag teams in history. Straight Outta Dudleyville: […]

‘Haven: Season 5 Volume 2 – The Final Episodes’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If you are going to watch a television show, the worst time to start is in its final episodes. I found myself doing this though for the recent release of Haven: Season 5 Volume 2 – The Final Episodes. What I found though was a show that I really enjoyed and will be investing my […]

‘Doomwatch: Series 1-3 – The Remaining Episodes’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

If the BBC realised how beloved their old shows would become, they might have taken greater care of them. And while Doomwatch: Series 1-3 – The Remaining Episodes may not feature every episode of the show thanks to the BBC’s archiving issues, it still stands up as a very good boxset. For fans of the […]

‘Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

Dodgeball is a game that should work quite well as a video game but with games becoming more complex and offering more, is throwing a little ball at people going to catch people’s interest? Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is an answer to that question and a pleasantly positive one… In the Story Mode you play […]

First Impressions: ‘Doom’ Closed Beta (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

I’m probably showing my age when I remember the hype around the original Doom. While Wolfenstein 3D was the first-person shooter that made an impression, it was Doom that really made the genre explode – by not only throwing the blood around in a glorious explosion of brutality but brought multiplayer gaming into the mix […]

‘The Division’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

The Division is turning into an interesting beast, especially for solo players like me. There are so many articles that say it is not designed for single-players alone and that at level 30 it will hit you hard, but at level 26 I’m holding up hope that I can survive it. Why am I sticking […]

‘The Walking Dead: Collector’s Models’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Models, especially those based on the things we love are popular because they show off our favourite characters and in many ways advertise the things that catch our interest. The Walking Dead: Collector’s Models are a perfect example of this. The first “season” of these models feature some of the most popular people from the […]

‘NXT Greatest Matches Vol.1’ Blu-ray Review

by Paul Metcalf

NXT is meant to be WWE’s breeding ground, where they build up rookie wrestlers and get them ready for the main show. What they ended up with instead is the start of something that mixes the Indy spirit with WWE money, and threatens to steal the show from the Superstars. With NXT Greatest Matches Vol. […]

‘Superhot’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to first person shooting games innovation isn’t really something you expect. The idea is you point a gun at people and you shoot, what else can you do?

‘The Culling’ – Closed Alpha Thoughts/Review

by Paul Metcalf

I may not be good at them, but I like survival games. I tend to spend some time on H1Z1 when I have the time, and find the Battle Royale (or as they call it now King of the Kills) the more fun side of the game. This is why I decided to try out […]
