‘#IDARB’ Review (Xbox One)

by Paul Metcalf

If you took away all the pretty graphics from the video games we play everything on the screen would be simple blocks.  Just looking at a game like Thomas was Alone shows that even in this simple form a good game can take these blocks, give them character, and even a narrative that keeps the […]

‘WWE: Best PPV Matches 2014’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

As a fan of the WWE who has to write a reviews about their DVD/Blu-ray releases I end up watching a lot that I like, and also that I hate.  The storylines, especially in 2014 have struggled and as we move into 2015 it feels the company is at a weak point, but this does […]

by Chris Cummings

We are half way through January, and that means one thing in the world of professional wrestling; we’re almost at Royal Rumble, and thus; almost on the road to WrestleMania. I, […]

‘Blackguards 2’ (P)review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]

‘Hi-8: Horror Independent 8’ Review

by Nicky Johnson

Directed by Tim Ritter, Brad Sykes, Marcus Koch, Ron Bonk, Donald Farmer, Todd Sheets, Chris Seaver, Tony Masiello This is a tough review to do for two reasons. The first is that it’s not one film, but eight. The second is that I am so far out of the target audience I would simple never […]

‘Girls: The Complete Third Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]

‘Looking: The Complete First Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

When I first watched Looking on television, I will admit that it didn’t hook me and I moved on to other things.  The first episode just didn’t seem to have that spark that I was looking for to keep my interest.  Now with the release of Looking: The Complete First Season though I decided to […]

‘Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fifth Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

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 […]
