‘The Defenders: Season One’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If there is one thing we know about The Defenders, it is that expectations were high. In a perfect world, this would be The Avengers of the TV world.

by Matthew Smail

As far as walking simulators go, White Day: A Labyrinth Named School easily ranks among the scariest that I’ve ever played, and believe it or not, it’s actually one of the oldest.

‘Agents of Mayhem’ Review (PS4)

by Matthew Smail

Agents of Mayhem is the latest outing from Volition Studios, the creators of the much loved Saints Row series of games. Oddly, whilst it’s set in the same world and features interlinking characters, Agents of Mayhem works hard to distance itself from the Saints games in structure and gameplay. As an example, it features a […]
