When it comes to role-playing games I tend to have somewhat of a particular taste. I remember the days of Baldur’s Gate and its sequel, I bought them both and dabbled with them but never really made progress, but I’ve played games like Skyrim for more hours than I can count. The fact is I […]
I am a Girls fan and proud of it, though with Girls: The Complete Third Season I have become somewhat annoyed, but I still remain a fan. The characters are reliably flaky and pretentious, but there is a strange reliability in that for the audience and more importantly there are some episodes in this season […]
When a season is proclaimed as the final of a series there are certain freedoms it is given, and high expectations from its audience. With Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fifth Season we see the conclusion to the story of Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson (Steve Buscemi) in some episodes that are easily the best the show has […]

If there is one thing I know about myself it is that I am a cynic, so when I saw the teaser to the Christmas Doctor Who featuring Santa Claus it was a moment when I truly dreaded what was to come. I will always be a hardcore fan of the Doctor though and will […]
Not long ago I reviewed Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) so it only seemed right that when Last Inua was available on the PC I should move onto that game and give it a try. Described as an “immersive and emotional” platform game like Never Alone it featured platform style gameplay and a two player structure […]
When The Fall ended last year it was inevitable that there would be a second series to at least conclude the story and for the killer to finally be brought to justice. Carrying on the story The Fall: Series Two is an intellectual battle, a lot like a game of chess, between the serial killer and female detective tasked […]
However depressing the nature of Nordic Noir is, you cannot argue that it has had a positive influence on the crime drama we see on television. The Missing is a new series recently show on the BBC in the UK (and now heading to DVD and Blu-ray) and the influence of Nordic Noir can be […]
Some games are created to punish the gamer, they often require patience and just a little luck but can still be the most annoying experiences put into game form. These games, such as Dark Souls, are sometimes lauded as some of the best games ever made, but to gamers who don’t have the patience to […]
Some films are created to convey a message. They aren’t made to be loved, and may not actually be that good but they still get a cult following because of what they represent to the audience they are aimed at. Nekromantik is a film that has a certain infamy about it, especially in the United […]
There is something instantly recognisable about Noir, and its style is so easy to love. Whether it’s the femme fatale or the seemingly innocent man with the dark past, or the detective seeking out the truth in the face of the puzzle yet to be solved, a story awaits that will inevitably be told in […]
Every year we get more and more television shows fighting for survival and it gets harder to have what it takes to make an impact. Trying to be a show that stands out of the crowd, Saving Hope started off with a main character in a coma, but still walks the halls of the hospital […]
LEGO games have always been popular. Whether it’s been Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel and Batman – just to name a few of their releases – LEGO seem to have access to many licenses, and make full use of them in the games they create. This makes for a good experience for the […]
Written by Anne Rice | Published by Chatto & Windus | Format: Hardcover, 480pp As with most people my first introduction to Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles was with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire. Once the film had finished though I did what needed to be done, and that was buy […]
I don’t often play management games, if anything I prefer to play games I can jump in and out of fast (often rage quitting when I die too often). Management games need time and patience and a certain attention to detail, which I find I don’t often have. When I do find the time though […]
Christmas is almost here and Arrow Video have a present for horror fans (though you’ll have to buy it of course). Vincent Price in Six Gothic Tales is a box set of the Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe films starring not only Price but some of the most iconic horror actors. Just mentioning the names […]
The Crew is out and people from all over the world are filling up the roads and forming their little groups, trying to make their impact in the world of racing “MMO”. I’m more of a solo gamer though, a loner who would rather enjoy the game at my own pace, so why would I bother […]
Coming so closely after the first episode of Tales of the Borderlands (which I loved), Telltale Games had a lot to prove with Game of Thrones: Iron From Ice. With the source material being so popular and good, and the use of some of the actors from the show this wasn’t something that was impossible. With the trailer […]
You don’t have to be a fan of WWE for too long before you notice that they tend to like their superstars to be larger than life. Some of them aren’t just large in attitude but also have the appearance of being huge monsters, often towering over other superstars and using their height and strength […]
