‘Pulse’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

Most games treat the main character almost like a super hero, giving them the ability to withstand more than the average human could, and powers to give them an added edge. This is what allows us to enjoy the game, the escape from reality. In search for a new experience though some games have started […]

‘Jessica Jones – Season 1’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Jessica Jones has finally arrived on Netflix, and while some may be tiring of the superhero movies and television shows has been a lot of hope for the latest Marvel show. With a Neo-noir style and a more adult feel to it, Marvel may have a hit on their hands… Starring Krysten Ritter as Jessica […]

‘WWE Night of Champions 2015’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

WWE Night of Champions 2015 SHOULD be a celebration of the companies best. Though we know this is not how the WWE work, even if they want you to believe they do… We have to have much more drama in the matches than celebrate something as silly as “wrestling”. Joking aside, WWE Night of Champions 2015 had […]

‘Game of Thrones: Episode 6 – The Ice Dragon’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

After the impressive way that Telltale Games managed to wrap up Tales From the Borderlands I wondered if Games of Thrones would find similar success. With Games of Thrones: Episode 6 – The Ice Dragon there were a lot of story strands to wrap up, and the problem may be that not all of them […]

‘Roy Chubby Brown Hangs Up the Helmet’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

Chubby Brown is somewhat of an acquired taste, and for many the fact that his latest DVD is called will be seen as good news. With some jokes that do go a little far he doesn’t exactly fit into the PC world that we appear to be becoming, but does that make him any less funny? […]

With the release of Assassin’s Creed Unity last year Ubisoft provided fans with a broken game and they weren’t happy… With this year’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate the company had a big job on their hands, they had to win back the hearts and minds of their biggest critics.

‘An Evening with Noel Fielding – Live’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

It’s fair to say that Noel Fielding is one of the more surreal comedians that has come out of the UK. Surreal but never boring. Coming to most people’s attention with The Mighty Boosh, then going a little too odd with Luxury Comedy it is fair to say he can be hit and miss at […]

‘Doctor Who: 9×09 – Sleep No More’ Review

‘The Goonies: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition’ Blu-ray Review

The Goonies: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition blu-ray celebrates the undying love that people have for the movie that […]

‘Fallout 4’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

NOTE: This review/initial thoughts is based on 10 solid hours of gameplay… There has been so much hype around Fallout 4 that it would be hard for the game to live up to what people expected it to be. One thing I noticed before its release though was the complaints around the game, mainly around […]

‘Doctor Who: 9×08 – The Zygon Inversion’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

Doctor Who annoys me, it is a show I love but it manages to disappoint me so much at times. Doctor Who: 9×08 – The Zygon Inversion at first raises many questions and feels like it is struggling to find its footing. Then with around twenty minutes to the end, becomes something very special for […]

Before I start this review of Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, I should probably say that I’m not a huge Warhammer fan though it always intrigues me, and I dip into many of its games. What I am though is a fan of trying out new experiences. This is why I took part in the beta, […]

After The Woman Who Lived I was hoping that Doctor Who would bounce back with an interesting episode. Doctor Who: 9×07 – The Zygon Invasion is another beginning for a two parter, which holds a lot of promise, though a few plot holes manage to weaken its impact.

With the popularity of House of Cards though we’ve seen just how good these shows can be, and Italian drama 1992 just continues that level of success.
