  • Scream VI – Review

    “Scream 6 (2023)” Scream 6 is now the sixth movie in the franchise, but for the purposes of this film, it’s mainly a follow-up to the fifth movie that came out last year. I didn’t review the previous Scream film too favourably, I thought that it was a bit too full of itself and I…

  • Hi-Fi Rush – Game Review

    Hi-Fi Rush (available for Xbox Series X & S, and PC. Xbox Series X version used for this review) Hi-Fi Rush was not a game that I had on my review schedule, mainly because up until the latest Xbox Developer Direct at the end of January we didn’t even know this game existed. It wasn’t…

    Blanc (available for Nintendo Switch and PC, Switch version used for the review) Blanc is a small game made by the French studio Casus Ludi and has been published by Gearbox Entertainment. It’s a game that I’ve had my eye on for a while because of the concept: it’s a game where you are in…

  • Metroid Prime Remastered – Game Review

    Metroid Prime Remastered (available for Nintendo Switch only) It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly six years since we got the announcement of Metroid Prime 4 – only months after the Nintendo Switch was released – and we still have no idea when it’s coming out.

  • Knock at the Cabin – Review

    “KNOCK AT THE CABIN” From director M. Night Shyamalan comes his latest movie which he directed and wrote alongside Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, marking an interesting change for Shyamalan considering he usually doesn’t collaborate in the writing department- he’s very much the kind of guy who likes creative control. It seems to be a…

  • Dead Space Remake – Game Review

    Dead Space Remake (This game is rated 18 in the UK and should not be played by those under that age or those sensitive to mature topics.

  • Babylon (2022) – Review

    “BABYLON” Babylon has been written and directed by Damien Chazelle, director of Whiplash and La La Land. I actually quite liked La La Land despite its flaws, and Chazelle did receive Best Director for that film so he is an accomplished director. He was also later involved in the Best Picture debacle that night of…

    “STRANGE WORLD” Strange World is the latest film from Disney Animation Studios directed by Don Hall and Qui Nguyen, who wrote the screenplay.
