Though since…

    Splatoon Raiders – Game Review

    ,

    As I’ve said previously, I am a huge fan of that Splatoon franchise… though only in terms of the multiplayer. While I have played a bit of the single player mode in each game, I’ve never been a massive fan of them, much preferring to duke it out with fellow Squidlings than play around in…

  • I Swear – Film Review

    ,

    “I Swear” I have just watched the 2025 award winning film called “I Swear”. It is described as a “biographical black comedy-drama”, and if there is one genre that the British Film Industry excel at, it is this sort of dark comedy, in the same sort of vein as Trainspotting or Four Lions. This film…
