‘WRC 7’ Review (PS4)

by Matthew Smail

Without putting too fine a point on it, WRC 7 is a hard game to recommend. I’m a huge fan of rally racing and rally games, yet the gameplay in Kyloton’s third installment of the WRC series (the others being WRC 5 and 6) feels as if it has barely advanced in three years. Considering […]

‘Star Trek: Discovery 1×01 & 1×02’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If there was one thing that has worried fans about Star Trek: Discovery, it is if we would finally get the new show we felt we deserve. After all the expected debate on the choice of a female captain (ugh, why is that still an issue?) now we get down to the important thing, watching […]

‘Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams 1×02: Impossible Planet’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

After last week’s episode of Electric Dreams hooked us, the job of this week’s episode is to show it wasn’t a fluke. This week’s Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams is Impossible Planet, which will test how much of a hopeless romantic you are. When Brian and Ed (Jack Reynor and Benedict Wong), two space tourism […]

‘Rick and Morty 3×08: Morty’s Mind Blowers’ Review

by Steven Riley

After a heavy episode last week, Rick and Morty changed up the pace again with a more self-contained, ‘clip show’-style adventure. As Rick himself alludes to at the start, episode eight, ‘Morty’s Mind Blowers’ is the equivalent of the Inter-Dimensional cable from the seasons prior. While the prior two episodes have had some memorable bits, […]

‘Undead: Night of the Living Dead & Return of the Living Dead’ Book Review

by Paul Metcalf

Undead by John Russo is a book of two halves. The first half is the novelisation of Night of the Living Dead and the second part is the novelisation of the first concept for Return of the Living Dead. This is interesting to read as it’s totally different than the movie it became. This version […]

‘American Horror Story – Cult 7×03: Neighbours from Hell’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If I was to write that American Horror Story: Cult is a brave show to air on television, I’m sure many would say “no, it just sucks.” The thing is with this year’s choice of subject, which has a focus more on the psychological, it is going to divide viewers. This is a year that […]

‘Arrow: The Complete Fifth Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

It feels like recently I’ve been reviewing way too many superhero series. I’ve gone from the dorky style of Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow, to the slightly more serious The Flash. Now it is time to look at Arrow: The Complete Fifth Season, which takes things even more seriously. In Arrow: The Complete Fifth Season Oliver […]

‘Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #3.7’ Review

Written by Richard Dinnick | Art by Brian Williamson | Published by Titan Comics Well, well, well, what’s this then? A Doctor Who story not wrapped up in one or two issues. Is that allowed? No complaints from me of course, as I’ve been enjoying The Wolves of Winter hugely. What’s not to like. Vikings, […]

When the ads for Electric Dreams started to appear on television, the similarities with Black Mirror caught my attention straight away. Then it was revealed that the show was Philip K.

Written by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel | Art by Lee Sullivan | Published by Titan Comics This arc has grown on me a little.
