Back in the day if a film got banned from theatrical or home release it really had little else worth talking about. Are there exceptions? Yes. But more often than not these landmarks of censorship are just not very good. Going on moral crusades only gives them more attention than they deserve. Caligula was one […]

Star Wars has the dubious honour of being the epitome of a franchise that has been milked to death. Since 1977 we’ve seen countless tie-ins and expanded universe novels, games, comics etc. Some of them have been good, and some have been very, very bad. Luckily, tie-in video games for the franchise seem to have […]

As an audience, gamers demand more than they ever have before. We hold developers to a higher standard – and rightly so, when each game is sixty to seventy quid a pop on release day. So when Naughty Dog decided to do a zombie apocalypse game, I thought the decision was a little…odd. They don’t […]

This was an eclectic week for issue ones – we had a sea-beast, a space-chicken, and a motley fantasy crew. I can’t bring myself to sift though the reboots and rebirths and re-re-returns and all of the mirror-house continuity of mainstream comics, so I went indie again.

For this Boss Rush I’m going to talk about my favourite video game of all time: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I could talk for hours about why I like that Castlevania in particular so much but it isn’t the point of this article. This article is about boss fights and this game has plenty […]
