Written by Anthony Del Col | Art by PJ Kaiowa | Published by Titan Comics Seems an age since I reviewed an Assassin’s Creed title, which is a shame as I really enjoy the Assassins Creed universe. Love the games, the novelisations, most of the comics and didn’t hate the movie, though many seemed too. […]
Terrorism, whether it be a threat or whether it be real is a tool to create both fear and paranoia. Put into a show like Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams and you end up with an episode like Safe and Sound where the insidious nature of technology is shown as a very real and relatable […]

Giant Killer Robots: Heavy Hitters may have one of the most cumbersome titles that I’ve ever encountered (which is fitting given the nature of the titular mechanical behemoths in game) but in spite of the name, it features a number of rather elegant systems. GKR is the first board game from the well-respected New Zealand […]

Chihuahua-based indie outfit Lienzo, makers of the mediocre metroidvania Hunter’s Legacy, take the leap to polygons with 3D action-adventure Mulaka. It’s a very mixed bag, but overall its uniqueness and charm just about win out. The game is steeped in Mexican mythology. You are Sukurúame of the Tarahumara tribe, whose task is to gain the trust […]
We’re officially on the road to Wrestlemania and Fastlane marks the final pay per view stop for the Smackdown brand (and the last Smackdown-only PPV given that all pay per views are going multi-brand after Wrestlemania 34) with – frankly – a number of filler matches that look like they will add nothing to the […]

Welcome back to another installment of Panel Discussion – this time featuring a rundown of my picks of the Top 30 comics released in February 2018. This is part two, a countdown of books 15-1… But first the caveats: First and foremost this is simply my list and with that comes a great deal of […]

There are some television series that come at just the right time to tap into events going on in society. The Handmaid’s Tale has come at a time when politics is becoming polarised, where you are either “with” or “against” a certain political stance.

One of the things that makes Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams stand out as a show is that it raises questions about today’s society.
